<div class="IPBDescription">Not too late :P i hope :P</div>what do you think about the idea :
a Defensive weapon for the marine
name : Pulse gun (or whatever)
use : push structures or aliens (When you shoot the gun make a wave and a weird sound, a kind of alert ) when your teamates ear this sound they will back you (lol i hope)
Damage : Very low
With that you will be able too push the alien in front of you (BUT the alien can rush you with a low speed) so.. you can survive 2 or 3 seconds <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
imagine when you rush you can move OC or any chambers of your way and you can back your teamates
The only problem i found : what this freaking weapon will be abble to do on the hive... but is like welder... a second weapon <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />

Idea No. 2
What do you think about : you can egging (gestating) on the ceiling, the egg was suspended like the hive... so you can gestate in back of the hive and you will be in sneak mode <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> on the ceilling.
so.. that it..
if something was not clear just ask me... (good thing! i need to practice my english <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" /> )

I could see it working like this:
if (pitch angle == (0 < x < 45°)) --> then (gestation model = horizontal_egg.mdl)
if (pitch angle == (46° < x < 90°)) --> then (gestation model = tilted_egg.mdl)
if (pitch angle == (91° < x < 180°)) --> then (gestation model = vertical_egg.mdl)
(yes, I realize the Source engine syntax is way off and that the if conditionals are integers, but I'm just writing this to illustrate for the non-programming crowd which is the majority here)
In otherwords, as the angle of gestation changes to the vertical (90° is straight up and down) and even inverts upside down as is with a ceiling the model of the gestation increases.
From a gameplay aspect it makes marines check the ceilings too and not just the floor and rewards aliens for finding clever ceiling safe spots to gestate in.
i got some ideas !! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> ya im a box ideas ! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
idea 1b
it will be really cool if the gorge can shoot (calling this a bullet) a bullet and 2 others will be shot randomly in z y direction ! because the gorge attack is so underpowered...
idea 2b
you know... the alien have the gorge to heal, and the hive (like the gorge) can heal health and armor but for the marine its different ... only the armory are healing and they need a welder for the armor... but if they have a healing weapon.... that will be a plus... yayaya ! i know the com. ca drop med pack but if the weapon cost is like 30 or 35 res that will be fair ! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />
ide 3b
the turrets damages are low... that will ne cool if a marine can give her weppon to turret... exemple :
(turret damage 10 ? with shotgun = 15 , hmg 20 and gl .. the turret can shoot a grenade each 4 sec.)
idea 4b
with the parasite the alien can trace marine easily... for equilibrating this that will be great if the marine with :
Weapon : Pistol
Bullets : 12
damage by bullet : 12
and the first bullet do an half damage and can trace the alien how receive the bullet (like Motion Tracking)
