Lethal & Non-Lethal Hitboxes


I've already suggested this potentially brilliant alternative idea against this recent locational damage upset. I think it be more important it be in this thread...




Lethal and Non-Lethal hitboxes
  • Essentially all your character's hitboxes deals same damage value in-take.
  • Lethal hitboxes would terminate the character at 0 health points.
  • Non-Lethal hitboxes would incapacitate the character at 0 health points.
  • Final blow decides either Non-Lethal or Lethal.

How it works?
The final blow decides the player's fate. All damage taken will lead to either a successful 'lethal' take-down or an unsuccessful 'non-lethal' take-down. Headshot would obviously be a 'lethal' hitbox.

Incapacitated players are very limited on what they can do. Probably nothing. They may as well be dead or continue waiting for a Medic.
Terminated players are ... dead. Oh well. Lulz!

Summery:
All hitboxes takes same damage value depending on maybe armor. MAX may have less 'non-lethal' hitboxes. (no localized damage)
New: Incapacitated
One Shot One Kill will only work if target is already damaged by you or someone else.

I like how Planetside does it. This is just overly complicated.

I don't like this idea at all.. It seems like a "final stand" thing from cod...which I hate immensely.

Yeah, not much point in having people incapacitated unless their is some other benefit to incapacitating someone instead of killing them. It's not like you can take prisoners.

Let death be death.
