I want there so badly to be some type of face-rape creature.

I mean, all the games involving Aliens have them and it's often the scariest thing in said games.

You ever play the AVP series? Only FPS I can ever think of that I honestly...had to close my eyes if a little Facehugger attacked me, or if I saw a bunch of their eggs I usually high tailed it, and I wasted tons of ammo always trying to kill them, I constantly paused and freaked out.

Obviously not saying to rip em off, but lots of Alien movies have something that rapes Marines in some way and causes a bad outcome. Obviously the instant factor of it would annoy the heck out of Marines...

Just I miss that tension from the AVP series in this. I mean the alien designs are nice, but I never get a "OH MY GOD, OH ######" feeling, like I did in those. I also die and respawn and do not care I died. Alot of FPS games try to make you care you died, I don't feel it in this.

Male pregnancy is one of the scariest things in horror, by some form or another. You could also make it so the Commander could spend resources to remove it before say it hatched on a 60 second timer. Nothing else can. So it would promote an attentive commander and not make the ability to OP. It may also encourage suicide runs.

I know this is a competitive FPS and all, but I would still like to be afraid sometimes.

    Ahhh Mr fade expert...

    I have request: If <b>all</b> the games involving Aliens have them, name one more other than Aliens.

Of course, for bigger maps. You could have Aliens fighting each other in a big three-way. They'd be exactly the same, you know, just different colors.

    Add a little spice.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Like aliens vs predator vs marines?

    Also I am beginning to think you just want to have NS2 converted into AVP...

    Yeah, how about we not have a rape-oriented feature in this videogame? Thanks.

    Just to challenge that...

    Duke Nukem 3D had this.
    I'm pretty sure Dead Space 1 & 2 had this.
    Doom's lost souls arguably fill this role (demon aliens?)
    Half-life 2 could argue headcrabs as a qualifier for this, although they only eat npc's faces.

    But that's all besides the point

    Babbler is the perfect candidate for this, minus the face hugging of course.

    Instead of a entire different class to do this mechanic, why not just have upgradeable special parasite darts for Skulks (with a lot of RES to balance it out) that marks marines for pregnancy. Now, have the ability for a respawning alien to "spawn" (mutate) from that marine, or the marine's corpse if he's already dead. It'd be an interesting mechanic to flesh out.
