I was reading the thread about bullet penetration and a random thought just crossed my mind: How about the ability to lock doors?
Since we have bullet penetration for HOS it wouldn't be terribly broken, and I think it'd add a neat element to defensive tactics. We all know that Killing Floor benefits from this stuff, but I think we would need a surefire way to get through in order to prevent abuse.
If you go to open a door and it's locked it should make a sound to tell you, then give the option to kick it open. This would have to happen quickly enough that you can't just camp the door while would-be attackers try to kick it. Of course the act of kicking the door down would also draw attention with noise and everything, so it's not like the defenders would have no reason to bother. The attackers may also decide not to risk getting shot and use a grenade or two to persuade the lock to loosen its grip.
So instead of being wide open to attackers, you can do something to slow them down a bit and make them stop for a second before charging in like Rambo. Hearing the sound at first might prompt people to turn around and spray the door, but it may not be enough once people get the door open.
Thoughts?
