Re: Suppressive fire


Here's how you get suppressing fire:
Regenerating health/armor

But not CoD style, exactly. Health regenerates, but slowly, and will only start regenerating a notable number of seconds after you last take damage.

So if someone is low on health, they might run for cover to recharge. Laying down a constant stream of fire at their cover would make them keep their head down, because any stray bullet would reset the countdown before they start recharging.

So while they're pinned down, someone runs up and 'bunkers' them, in paintball terms. Yay teamwork!
