Adrenaline?

[Sgt. Boomer]

Sounds like a morale system! I like the idea.

I remember seeing in a mag once that America’s Army was going to make it so that when you where being shot at it would be harder to aim (in IS view - like standing instead of crouching), so that covering fire would actually be of some use. Can’t say I’ve really noticed it though - maybe it wasn’t A’s A, or maybe I just get killed to quick to notice it. R6 did something like that too when team-mates were killed.

But ya, being shot at, explosions, getting hit, team-mates killed (and maybe the distance to the nearest friendly control point: farther = more adren), should all give you an adrenaline rush- with the effects being hands shake more (harder to aim/less accuracy), short burst of speed, blood pounding in your ears, vision blurred.

Plus there should be things that reduce adrenaline- firing your weapon, running (fight or flight), having other team-mates around, and being close to a friendly control point.

One thing it would do is make it MUCH more difficult for weaselly little spawn campers to get a hit.

Personally I like anything that adds to the challenge of getting a hit (recoil, IS, “sway” or “float” rather than just point and click and wait for the computer to randomly decide when a bullet hits the target.

I realize it might be hard/impossible to do in a game, but it’s a good idea nonetheless.
