<div class="IPBDescription">FALCON PUNCH</div>Talking about alt-fire for the exoskeleton/minigun marine. Possibly a punch that sends skulks flying against the wall on kill. #fb

Just sounds cool.

Im all for it as long as the exoskeleton will not be a automatic GG

    Chuck Norris doesn't need an exoskeleton to knock skulks against walls on kill...

    But I do, and IT SOUNDS AWESOME! Can't wait to see the animation.

    haha Falcon PUNCH! I love it.
    btw, this probably could have been discussed in the Twitter dedicated thread.

    The punch sounds like a good enough sensible idea. Do it. move on. next. We'll sort it all out during alpha. ;)

    EDIT: lol I just kind of contradicted myself there... meh.

    lets have a the user be immobile for 3 seconds after the command to execute the falcon punch.

    I'm not a big fan of the idea. The first thing that comes to mind is "Aah gross I touched it!" It's kind of weird for a human to be punching an Alien. I'd rather stab it or taze it to be honest.

    Makes me think of the heavy punch from Dystopia, which I think they did quite well.

    I expected to them have the both keys for minigun actions, but I guess that works too.

    I don't understand the wording of this tweet, can someone explain?
    "Possibly a punch that sends skulks flying against the wall on kill. "

    This means to me than you have to punch a skulk, and then when you kill it(on kill) it sends it flying against the wall?

    Ah yeah that makes more sense. Though I'm kinda skeptical about giving marines strong melee attacks. Even in NS1 I really hate it when you duel someone and you got him out of ammo and you got 20 hp left and he knifes you when you feel you had won the battle.

    I totally agree with pallie there.

    I must say I support the idea after some thinking, but only if it's made in the spirit of the Space Hulk power punch (not sure if they actually call it that). Space Marine Terminator is able to punch a Genestealer when in close contact, but it only works like 1/10 times. If it works, the Genestealer dies instantly. If it doesn't work, well, needless to say what happens. Now, I'm not saying that it should implemented exactly like this but I certainly don't want to see marines punch-rushing either! Maybe it'd deal some damage but it's main effect would be stun or something like that.

    epic

    Next thing you know we got "pk fire" attacks with the flamethrowers, and the pistol is turned into Fox's lazer pew-pew pistol.

    Edit: Super Smash Bros. Mod anyone?

    It just means they will enable the skulk ragdoll if you get a killing blow on it, so it'll go flying due to the physics.

    its might be better if the EXO had a temporary electrify instead of a targeted melee

    I think that this sounds interesting. New and creative. Great job. I'm thinking an uppercut animation, so the skulk goes flying up into the air.

    But what would be the implications of punching an Onos? A sore hand?

    ...and a gorge? I imagine your hand would punch straight through a gorge. Hahaha.

    I can't wait to try this...!!!!

    hahaha that would actually be an awesome kind of trade off.

    If you score a hit you get a nice punch/hit sound and the enemy gets knocked off, but if you miss and punch a wall or something (or onos :O) then you get a nice *CrUnCh* sound and your guy shakes out his hand in pain. So if you hit something non-squishy you get a little 0.5 sec penalty. Makes it more of a last ditch kind of ability.

    I like the sound of that...maybe something that lasts 10 seconds with a 20-30 second charge time (and if it gets the lethal hit on a skulk, it jumps into the ceiling :P)

    Definitely call it something funny in the combat log.

    Maybe not Falcon Punch, but I'm sure you all can think of something.

    So I'm presuming that the Aliens are getting a sniper rifle in return? UWE really need to step back and see this idea for what it is.
