Feign Death

Post by Scared_420 »

i think that you should be able to feign death like in unreal, so if there r a bunch of enemies coming into a compound or something you can jus look like your dead and then when they turn their back you can get up and knife them all or shoot them, it would be realistic in the sense that soldiers might not wanna shoot someone who already looks dead and might give away their position but its happened in all wars and could be a usefull idea.

Completely unrealistic for the type of game PR is, and stories of people feigning death in real conflicts were usually the last survivors of a mass death, not just one person in a room somewhere.

I also don't see a picture here. In PR it's usually squad vs squad situations (as opposed to "whole base gets destroyed and only one man survived bla blub"). In these, every single gun is needed to win, you don't wanna waste one by having someone play dead. And even if a squad gets overrun, the survivor should better get away alive than wasting one or two enemies and then getting shot anyway.

Insurgents maybe - but I don't think it'd be good for gameplay at all.

i think it would be usefull, especially for insurgents, maybe if it was just a certain class that could do it ?

This should only be for the insurgent faction. I don't think any real soldier would do this in combat but since insurgents are basically just pissed off civilians, I could see them trying something like this.

Reminds of TFC and that's something I and other people don't want to think of when they think PR.

tbh if they did this I'd just start shooting dead bodies.

It's a no go, although I do seem to recall a story where insurgents dressed up as women and escaped with the hostages they were holding.

it reminds me of army of two...

the only real time you do this is whne you are over run and hiding, and this baskicly happins in game allready... say you are fighting, and you get flanked, instead off shooting to the death, you go hide in a bush somewhere....

i dont think this would be any good to the game... it would just encoruge lone wolfes... i say this becuase, you could have 10 guys sit somewhere, then a e squad gose past and just thinks lol, i guess we won a battle here, and keeps going....

also, i dont think this is possible with the game engian.. i mean whene you die you turn into a ragdoll... whiile your alive your not a rag doll....

This is what is going to start happening if you add this to the game. People will shot all bodies they see and it will just become annoying.

And I wouldn't like to be the one who is suppose to code this nightmare. ;)

I don't like the sound of it really, the question is do you really want to shoot every body or knife every body you see?

Would seem annoying.

actually, this seems somewhat realistic, it means having to confirm kills rather than just walking in and saying "everyones dead, clear".

maybe it wouldn't happen in regular armies, but i can imagine insurgents doing something like that

i doubt its possible with the engian... i mean what would it be, a weird shape you would need to fil a wepon slot... and it only looked right laying down?

Old re-suggestion & not feasible with the current engine.

Thus Locked.
