Knockout effects

[[CiA]Stiletto]

The thread on taking fall damage in your legs from DIVING too far got me thinking...

Right now, explosives and blunt melee attacks seem oddly-powered (not so much under- or over-).

Explosives seem to be too binary in their effect, as in they either kill you or have no effect whatsoever. It'd be cool if (especially for the German stick grenades, which in game have no frag liners) grenades and explosions with X distance, but not lethal, tossed you to the ground and knocked you out for a short period of time (simulated by maybe a second of control freeze, and slow recovery from blackout).

Ditto melee: getting smacked by a rifle butt ought to screw with your controls for a decent fraction of a second and blur and/or black out your vision.

You have my vote for a Atomic-Bomberman-Disease-Controls-Inverted system combined with blur and whatsoever.
The A.B.D.C.I. on itself may be unrealistic, but the effekt it would have on gameplay would fit perfectly! (Except the colorfull blinking. We don´t need that in RO:O, I guess)

By inverted I mean, that the mousecontrols should be randomly inverted. Left <-> right and/or up <-> down

It should invert to the way of the smack.....
