Topic: She'll Be Alright, Inform Lord Vader We...

You know it's funny, I could have sworn I made a thread about this already, but after searching for it...under search...nothing came up. Perhaps I suggested it in as past life? As Patton, or King Henry?
Well whatever. Heres the suggestion:
Rifles that can be set for stun. A very simple idea, that could probally be applied very easily. It could work just like the bf2 gernade launcher. You switch to it, and instead of shooting normal lasers it shoots stun bolts. When hit with a stunbolt, maybe it could take away all of an enemys fatgiue, put him into shell shock, and use that white screen thingy u get when your hit with a flash bang gernade. It would be useful to use on close range enemys that dont see you. Stun them, then when they hunker down to wait for the effects to wear off, knife em.
It would be really cool if somehow a stun blast could imobilize an enemy, so he can't move, but I'm not sure if thats possible in the Bf engine.
Thoughts?

Perhaps you could change the properties of the flash bang and turn it into a weapon, also I don't belive that they had knives so maybe a vibroblade. (Yahoo, vibroblade combat!)
Maybe you could also add in a capture(or kill) the commander. Maybe like capture the flag with a flag that can kill you.

No way. And theres a good reason why:

Kidnapping - it happens already in BF2, you keep reviving someone and killing them (takes 2 or more people), forcing him to leave the server. With stun, you can just keep stunning them without ever killing them. They're helpless.

Another way to do this would be (in fact you could be doing this already) to give both teams stun batons instead of knives (I believe the rebs had knives before); and the advatage of creeping up behind someone is that you can stun them (with the effects above). Of course, when you stun them, you get a dog-tag saying "Player X got stunned!" which you can proudly display on a forum. Once they're stunned, you're free to kill them. This would be useful if you sneak up on groups. You could stun one and shoot the other, then reload and shott the stunned guy.

Hmm no idea what ur talking about with the 'kidnapping', but the stun baton idea isn't a bad idea either. If they find their way into FS, I'd like to see that.

I think I'm missing something. That would effetively just be a short range version of what Arc is suggesting above. How would that stop someone from "Kidnapping" as your putting it?

Because you have to be very close to do it. If they move away from you, its much harder to stun them again.
