Shock Spikes/Ball

[zskninoh]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Little spikes or balls that you would implant in the ground/throw at choke points, similar to mines/grenades. When a xeno steps on them, or the timed fuse runs out they would emit an aoe shock field that would inhibit the xenos movement for a short time period.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): This would add an extra layer of defense against the xenos and somewhat balance blitzkrieg tactics from the xenos. This would also help isolated/captured marines escape from the ever-so spooky tackle spam xenos.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): They would work identically to mines and grenades but instead of going boom, they go zzzzttttt.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Copy the mine/grenade code. Rework it to be shocky.

P.S: They did have these in Colonial Marines the game I believe.

Not sure if it actually was in the shit CM game.

Edit: Also this was already suggested I think.
