Different Types of Attacks

t0x1kw4st3

<div class="IPBDescription">(here is the idea)</div>There are different types of attacks in NS.

1) Ranged
a) Instantaneous - Bullet, high range (LMG, parasite, HMG, shotgun, OC)
b) Explosive - Grenade Launcher, Bile Bome, Fade Missile Attack

2) Melee - bite, swipe, knife

3) Area Effect
a) Spherical - Lerk Spores, Umbra, SC, DC, Siege Cannon
b) Linear - Onos Stomp

The Developers could implement more types of attacks... i dont have any suggestions yet, but maybe a linear area effect attack is in order. for hallway control. Maybe it's too much.

When you consider the differences between attacks in each category, I think the NS team has good enough variety in the attacks. What other types of attacks would you consider anyway?

None instant hits maybe? like slower projectiles?

Slower projectile would be fun. Slow, high damage area-effect projectiles.

The slowness of the object would give the marines/aliens enough time to react and get the hell out of the blast radius. This would be good for taking hallways. Just shoot the shdaep, watch everyone clear.

I was thinking a linear area-effect damage. Maybe the Lerk can do a linear spore cloud or a spherical spore cloud. I think the Onos has Charge, which is a linear AE damage. But, I've never mastered it, so I never did much damage.
