As the title suggest introduce some sort of damage received from these static defenses when running into them which would then require applying the bandage or in worst cases bled to death scenario (sprinting into a sharp bamboo stick) similar as MOH Pacific Assault has done.
RS Make soldiers take damage from bamboo sticks and barb wire
- Thread starter Rok
- Start date
that should happen. and the Japanese should be able to set up stuff like that as well. more love for engineers.

I don't' know, I think its fine as it is. It's there to block your path and that's what it does, if it hurt you it would be really annoying. IRL, if I saw a pointy bamboo stick or barbed wire, I wouldn't walk into it.

Barbed wire is used for blocking off routes not dealing damage to the enemy. It would not inflict any noticeable amount of damage, it will however get stuck in your clothes. I can't imagine someone bleeding to death from barbed wire.
Here's some unrelated interesting trivia:
During WW1 the Russians estimated that it required up to 25.000 grenades of lighter caliber to make a useful gap in a defensive line made of barbed wire obstacles.

you're right how about if we just get stuck in it as a penalty for getting too close?

was the 25 thousand or just 25 nades? here in the u.s. 25.0 means 25

Pretty sure he meant 25,000. I understand the rest of the world uses the superior metric system, but I think our use of commas for our numbering system is superior.

It certainly does feel odd to run full on into a row of sharpened bamboo sticks only to bounce off harmlessly.

Making them do harm is a good idea... Harm to all players.
It is relatively easy to do. :IS2:

It's all down to the mappers putting hurty volumes (technical name) over the spikey things, so this update would roughly be 7GB.
But how much should it hurt? And should players who die to one be impaled on the spikes screaming?! xP

Funny topic.
I've been wondering myself too, scraping those spikes probably wouldn't kill me, but i'm sure it could hurt...
But it would probably make the maps a bit more complicated to make (?)

One thing for sure is that trying to prone at barbed and razor wire is the only aceptable:
Cannot prone here
Cannot prone here
Cannot prone here
Cannot prone here
Cannot prone here

I don't think it is a good idea. It would be one of those gimmicks like falling off an edge in an adventure game. Clearly, you would not have done that if you were actually walking on that thin plank to the next level. The game mechanics and the fact that you cannot see your own feet or hold your hands out to balance is why you fell.
In RS, as with any video game, your spatial awareness within the game will never be as good as outside the game. For example, in order to increase player awareness of grenades, RO2 makes a sound (most of the time) when the grenade lands, and often the character will call a grenade out, regardless of actually looking at it.
TWI increases your awareness of barbed wire by making it non lethal. In real life, it would be pretty obvious when encountering barbed wire, and you'd take the necessary action to avoid it (blow it up, go around, jump over, etc.).
