...my title might throw one off: it's not that a punch is too strong, it's just that it should be able to knock a gun off (esp. machine guns) even while they're being fired. it you have noticed you can't get the enemy's gun while he's firing it.
has it happened to you before?

Itd be so hard to pull off in game when your gettin nailed with shots, dont sound like a bad idea.

Yeah, he could sneak up from behind. but personally, i think a punch should be much more devastating, it would be cool, if people could do a click and hold punch, of course, full blast punch would make your soldat move slower, otherwise [CENSORED]tards will run around with a ready full blast punch.

what about being able to have it charged and when you let go you release and you punch the living crap out of whoever you're hitting. or maybe, the soldier can also kick if you have held for over 1 secs to make more damage and stuff.

also, rly important; i think it'd be much beter (and more realistic) if you get binked immensly (let that be the true power of the punch).

I always thought it would be fun if you also dashed forward when you punched to compensate for the fact that your opponent most likely has a gun.

That already happens sometimes... especialy when you both clash and start gun whiping each other

OFMGH YES.

You should do a little hop forwards. Hawt! ^_^

The dashing thing would definitely rock! I can even see my little soldat hopping forward in a boxing-type of stance as he punches the enemy in the face! Head shots with punch should make a little blood too, as if you broke the guy's nose.

Judo kicks would be a nice addition instead of jumping and punching one's own arm.

Judo kicks? Judo is more about picking people up, slamming them into the ground, landing on top of them, and then applying a choke/armbar/hold-down etc. (although there is a little bit of kicking and punching). Come to think of it, Judo in soldat would be pretty cool.... However, something like this would make Soldat way too much like street fighter.

zyxstand, you haven't been playing the F.E.A.R. demo by chance, have you? Because in that game, you can kill people with a single punch... just wondering if that was what inspired this thread.

lol F3nyx... an idea such as mine doesn't necessarily have to be inspired by anything in particular.
and - no, i have never played that game b4...
