Being Downed

[XxsnipahxX]

If you had ever played Left 4 dead or Borderlands, when are about to die, you get "downed". You have a certain time limit before you die, about 20 seconds. If one of your teamates get downed, You have to get withing 4 blocks of him to revive him. They key to revive him is E. It will take about 5 to 10 seconds. When you get revived you only get about 25HP. IF you get killed again you cannot get revived. The only way you can get downed, is getting shot from legs or arms or heart area. When you are downed you cannot move, you cannot shoot. You also cannot aim down sights, and you gradually start looking down. Enemies get an option to leave him for dead or just kill him. If you leave him for dead, and he dies you get half a point. IF you get downed on water, you have a chance of dying fast by drowning on the water. The person reviving you cannot shoot, so the downed person has to cover the guy helping. It also gives a points bonus, you get 2 points. It also appears on killfeed, " Deuce helped pro up".

I honestly think this is a good idea, but it needs tweaking. My suggestion is as follows:
Downed players can't fire at all, nor can they move.
The player that revives them must be in a 1-2 block radius of the downed player
You get downed from anything that isn't a headshot/spade kill.
When revived, you have about 25 hp, and I agree that you shouldn't be allowed to get another revive.
Lastly, don't include any random timers in the downing system. It's really not fair to the players.

thanks for suggestions burgerblock, put them in the paragraph.

This is actually a pretty good idea, too bad defibs don't fit with this idea.:(

I like this.

It promotes building (build a wall before helping)'
and teamwork. (revive and you get more help)

Also promotes spawncamping, squad whoring. Also, if it rewards points , MANY duces searching for points will just let you die to revive you instead of helping.

Too casual - in EVERY GAME you can see the downing.
Srsly, this is a war game, of course there should be a small chanse of downing if you get killed not by a headshot or fell down from a bridge, but yet it shouldnt be even 25%. Maybe 10-15% and you have 10-15 seconds to get revived.

Make the reviving system like Wolfenstein: ET, except that you will die if no-one revives you for 15-20 seconds (randomized). You can also not be downed if you were a victim of a headshot.

Cover means, you have to shoot for the person helping. And you can building in front too.
EDIT: You cannot revive from in back of a wall. Like that Left 4 Dead glitch.

i don't like it. i like simple fps. like counter strike style. no classes, no "perks", no bleeding/downing. there's a selection of guns, you have a visible HP counter/bar, and you can play however as you live. lone wolf or team player.

You get downed from anything that isn't a headshot or spade/close-range Shotty kill.
When revived, you have about 25 hp, and I agree that you shouldn't be allowed to get another revive.

There, fixed it for ya son.
