Please bring back Hugger Combat~~
I played carrier like 5 times last week and I noticed I have to use skill and hit the marines with my huggers rather than just throwing one beside them.
Pls bring back hugger combat so I could be useful without breaking a sweat.

Re: Please bring back Hugger Combat~~
Please return the glory to our Carrier. But do not bring back that shitstain known as hugger combat.
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

Re: Please bring back Hugger Combat~~
hurm
while it is in keeping with the precious lores that facehuggers be mobile, dangerous little critters, it raises many gameplay balance issues
how would you counterbalance it without nerfing it into the ground as it has been?

Re: Please bring back Hugger Combat~~
If shooting over the tile and not clicking exactly on the hugger would work. I wouldn't mind.
But as far as I know huggers aren't NPC they are objects so far.

Re: Please bring back Hugger Combat~~
Remember in the Pre-alpha when aliens used to stack a shit ton of huggers and then release them? The lil' buggers will run behind you ALL OVER the map. It will look for you, it will find you, and it will hug you! They used to hug every single marine in the entire colony in less than 10 minutes.
Never again ;-;

EVA helmets protected from 5 huggers at the beginning or something. Mostly you'd survive those hugger explosions as it'd soak the 2-3 you would eat, while the rest knocks down your friends.

Re: Please bring back Hugger Combat~~
If you really want Hugger combat, play drone caste and use it when the Marines are attacking the Hive. I have seen it done, and have been a victim to it

Re: Please bring back Hugger Combat~~
picking up a hugger and slapping it straight onto someones face as a drone is great
risky, often, but you get the confidence of knowing that even if you dont manage to pull them out and nest them, theyve got a timebomb ticking in them. if they stay to help fight theyre putting their own life at risk and giving the larva a better chance to escape into the wilderness. if they go to medbay to get checked out theyre out of the fight for a potentially long time

Re: Please bring back Hugger Combat~~
Actually hugger combat is still a thing. If not just tackle/pull. Works like a charm.

Re: Please bring back Hugger Combat~~
the biggest problem in trying to slap a hugger on someone, besides the whole guns and bullets thing, is of course the fact that you will bump into them and push them back away from you. thus i recommend not running straight at your target but run up to them 1 square to either side of them and mash your clicks on them when you get adjacent
oh yeah, and make sure, if youre a big alien, that your sprite is not going to cover your target
