<div class="IPBDescription">The revese of the knockback effect on jumping/leaping skulks</div>I know this is more appropriate for the I&S forum, but that place tends to be a ghost town for constructive ideas and feedback.
Why not have xenoing skulks send flying marines... well.... flying!
It parallels how a skulk in the air can be knocked back by a well timed rifle butt attack.
It also simply makes sense. An airborne marine has no contact to a solid surface and therefore cannot resist an applied force (read: explosion). This would be a nice way for teams to work together to fight JP marines. If a skulk can get above the marine before it xenos, the result would knock the marine lower toward his teammates hungry mouths.

I don't remember if it was for jetpacks, but I do remember it knocking around marines a few feet around the blast area. And the camera would be affected like it would be in ns1.
