EMP bomb

rossmum: exactly what I wast thinking about freezing vehicles.

n00b1n8R: "The battle suit utilizes a neural interface implanted in your brain. Your armor's movement and weapons are controlled at the speed of your thoughts" - Quoted from the Halo manual.

So, it might make sense to freeze players, though it would be cooler to slow them down, if that's possible.

Also possible. Just change the max stun, though that'll slow vehicles rather than freeze them. And no, you can't do anything while stunned. That's the effect the plasma weapons have in Halo... partial stun.

Considering balance, I think the bomb should take a weapon slot maybe, so the guy carrying it is more vulnerable, and it should spawn at one or two places only.

The more I think about it, the more I feel it needs a new map, or game type concept.

Waiting for your input...

Wouldn't it knock out your own shields too? Resulting in balance?

... this effect is in bf2142
you can freeze vehicles with it and it creates visual glitches (screen gets all blury on purpose)
also, make the grenade have a flash and some blue and white sparks (but not like stickies) that would make it cooler

If you've read the books...The energy shields and HUD of the MJLONIR suits are affected by EMP pulses; I think the best we can do is the shields. >_>

[n00b1n8R]

@itszutak: that's from a fluff perspective, not a game play perspective (which would you prefer to be playing?)

@deamonOne: i think that's a good idea, but would you still be able to throw other nades with it? and what would happen when your out of amo (wouldn't it still look like there is a nade in your hand?)

@bodzilla: no, that's not me. there is this other guy i met called "noobinator" (as opposed to my spelling "n00b1n8R") who seemed like a major asswhole. and i havn't played PC in about 2 months.

Awesome idea, just don't make people freeze still,because what if some noob tker goes crazy on his team throwin' these around making his team sit still like sittin' ducks?simply make them drop their shields although awesome idea!!!

[DemonOne]

Thanks for the input guys.

demonmaster3k: I wasn't aware this existed in bt2142... oh well.

Chief117: Don't worry, I don't intend to freeze players, I just want to slow them down.

n00b1n8R: I think the C4 is a good example, it takes a weapon slot and it's gone after you throw it, and I hope the same can be done without making it occupy a third slot.

Anyhow, Just installed HEK for the first time... gonna mess around with it now.
