Dragging injured marines

Fragmagnet

<div class="IPBDescription">You know you want to</div>Situation: Oh no my legs are disabled/broken/missing and I must drag myself back to base slowly with no way of protecting myself
Solution: I guess my friend over there can drag me by my shoulders and I can protect us both :D
Kicker: and Oh look other friends are coming to help

reward: credits :D shiiiiiinnnnnyyyyyy

------------------------

let's say you got bit in the legs and you can't get back up. Oh noez.
You have 3 1/2 options

1. Lay there and die
2. Drag yourself back to base
3. Call for help
3 1/2. Drag yourself back to base and call for help.

I would personally do 3 1/2 for 2 reasons
A. I get to keep my stuff, If I make it back alive
B. It's epic



---------------------
Now let's see what the helpers get for .... helping

Credits
the amount of which is based on
A. How far the injured marine was dragged
B. How close he/she was to death
C. If he/she survives

---------------
Now for those who are thinking
What about me helping them get back to base by providing covering fire?

YOU GET credits and some kills maybe
The amount of credits is based on
A. For how long you provided cover for the marines
(basically A for the dragger just based on which point in time you joined the rescue)
B. How close he/she was to death
C. If he/she survives





THINGS YOU CAN DO

As the dragger (VERSION 1)
A. Drag the marine with both hands
B. Look around a bit
C. Be epic

As the dragger (VERSION 2)
A. Drag the marine with one hand (slower)
B. Look around and shoot with a gun in the other hand (reasonable weapon Pistol, Rifle)
C. Be even more epic

As the dragger (VERSION 3)
A. Carry the marine over your shoulder (fastest way, but you don't get to shoot, neither does the injured marine)
B. Turn and walk
C. Be epic


As the Draggee (Person being dragged)
A. Shoot with your weapons (not just pistol) mmmmmmmmmm flamethrower spam will keep the creepy crawlies away ..... maybe
B. Look around
C. Be kinda epic as well

As the marines providing covering fire
You can do all the stuff that you normally can.

----------
WHY THIS IS AN AWESOME IDEA IMO


A. It's epic
B. It will encourage teamwork (aka credits for helping)
C. Because you know you want to.

I'd rather not have the possibility of being crippled, it doesn't really fit with the general pace of NS.

Even assuming it did, having the entire squad run back to base because some pleb got hit by a skulk <i>really</i> doesn't fit the pace of NS, just respawn, it's faster.

That's why they would add an option that you could choose to instantly die if you get crippled if you wanted to.

It's still very counterproductive to encourage people to abandon what they are doing to do some stupid minigame to farm cash.

Well you can have your opinion and I can have mine.

I have to agree with what everyone else is saying, it dosen't really fit into the whole mood of the game. Though it would be awesome if the marines had some sort of grenade or mine and could use a crippled player to lure out the Skulks and then:

<b><u>KA-BLEWWY!!
</u></b>
No more crippled marine or Skulks (=P)
