Sooden 301 Posted December 28, 2013 Another "I would like to see" I'm not thinking about martial arts like karate but rather 'in the moment' actions you may take, which are sometimes non lethal but give you time to escape a situation. There should at least be push/shove to get people or zombies out the way and maybe a running charge or tackle to knock over player and maybe disarm them ( i know, we need to wait for ragdoll). Main reasons as follows 1) zombies in a doorway, if you don't wanna waste ammo, you have to get an axe out or run in circles, rather than trying a quick push. 2) pushing players or zeds down stairs or off ledges. Would also help hide you intentions, if you have no weapon out or no weapon at all. Could really make you uneasy around others. 3) Charging at someone firing at you. Sometimes it the best option because running away makes you an easier target and the only option you have when you get there is to hit them with an axe. What if you could knock them over, giving you time to escape. 4) For the LOLZ. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MurQ 33 Posted December 28, 2013 Pushing is already in the game, infected and other players can push you and you can push other players...I haven't tried to push infected yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sooden 301 Posted December 28, 2013 Pushing is already in the game, infected and other players can push you and you can push other players...I haven't tried to push infected yet. do you mean push as in running into someone and they slowly slide along or is there and action and key to press?

TinyWeeny 0 Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Pushing is already in the game, infected and other players can push you and you can push other players...I haven't tried to push infected yet. I wouldn't really call it pushing... more like nudging. There isn't a dedicated push attack... it's more of just running into someone to make them move around. I'm not sure I would ever use a push attack. I'm almost always have a melee weapon, so I probably would never use it. I suppose it would be helpful for when I respawn and get caught inside a building with a zombie. Being able to push a zombie down, or away, and make my escape would be helpful at those time. But that is such a seldom occurrence, I'm not sure it would be worth its own dedicated attack mode. Someone else posted about wanting a tackle move a little while ago. It would be a good non-lethal way to stop someone from running away. The problem is if they add more of these specialized moves (like the little jump you can do under the right conditions), the more convoluted the game controls will get. And there's already a ton of different keys and key combinations to remember. It would be difficult to get it all working together without becoming another annoyance.
