New Soldier Melee Unlock Idea

[smijman]

The Attitude Adjuster!!

Effect Possibilities:

Randomly rotates(adjusts) your enemies view(attitude) up, down, left, or right when striking them.

Either that or make it have a charge meter, the longer the charge the more they are rotated. Which would decrease attack speed for full effect.

I'd probably sacrifice critical hits for this effect.

Model Possibilities:

Either a horse crop turned army disiplinary device or a variation of the the soldiers current trench shovel model.

All off these ideas are totally up to your constructive criticism. Feel free to add your ideas to mine.

Would the ''adjustment on hit'' be totally random? So you wouldn't know if the enemy would face the left/right/up/down after hitting 'em?

Welcome to TF2Forum btw, hope you enjoy your stay

So they would just keep spinning or what? Idea sounds pretty cool btw, it's certainly original

It just changes the direction they're aiming upon impact, they don't keep spinning around or anything like that. The idea is to have them not be able to look at you to retaliate.

I have to say... that is a great idea.

It fits the gameplay perfectly, along with just the hilarity of it. Like in the Meet the Soldier vid when he smacks the spy at the end.

Definitely sounds cool, and original.

Edit: Didn't see that it's melee. In that case it's awesome.

1) Yes, unless a charging system is implemented to decide the angle of rotation.

2)The direction will always be random.

How about the "Skull Slapper"?

Like just for the name? Or do you have another idea for a melee weapon?

I called it the in Attitude Adjuster because is a play on words. (which normally makes a good name)

It fits the soldier's army commander personality.

Attitude means both a mental state involving and feelings and values AND the position of aircraft or spacecraft relative to a frame of reference, which is similar to a player's first person view.

So it ADJUSTS their ATTITUDE. Get it? ;D

Would be cool, an unlockable angry nigger
