[Poll] New type of enemy

[horzineplumpudding]

I'd rather see mutant enemies no doubt. As for what kind of specimen, I had some ideas : A kamikaze clot with a bomb on the back. It would look like a normal clot up front and it would explode on death or contact with a player, with a delay of 1 second in both case and some kind of give away signal.

Would be interesting to see ghost enemies approaching from 360 degrees

Ghost enemies coming through welded doors I can live with. Ghost enemies coming through the walls is a bad plan, especially for maps like Bedlem with thin corridors, and chances are the first thing you'll know about a ghost is when it hits you.

Or if you're next to the wall, and are being hit by a ghost inside the wall... not good.

I wouldn't mind seeing more EWSB (or "enemies who shoot back") personally. Much as the husk is often the bane of my existance (well, after sirens and crawlers, heh) I do like that both he and the Patriarch give me reason to dive into cover and manage to be threatening from any distance unlike, say, a scrake who is only dangerous when he's close or when someone has pissed him off (and he's still not dangerous until he closes the distance).

I think this idea: Killing Floor - Fleshpound Chaingunners Mutator - YouTube

Could be re-used and polished. Maybe even coupled with the notion of a mid-game boss fight and sort of serve as a prelude to the Patriarch with his chaingun/rocketlauncher combo.

Animal!

Horzine was already trying to make supersoldiers for the government - why not engineered attack dogs? I'm thinking of a hairless wolf-like specimen with overdeveloped jaw musculature and a long tentacle-like tail. They'd be as fast as, or faster than a raging fleshpound, but have health roughly equivalent to a gorefast. They could have two attacks: a pounce that does minor damage similar to a crawler, and a bite to the leg that immobilizes the player for a few seconds, even if you are a berserker.

They would offer an immediate priority threat that is easily overcome but a real problem if you don't kill them on sight, a little "rush" for the players if you will. Maybe spawn them in packs of 3-6, and give them an AI that causes them to try and flank the player like the stalkers do.

Something like this:

Or even this:

I'd support an FP chaingunner, but only if he was rare and not all that strong in terms of attack or defense.

Husks and sirens are hellish enough as it is.

i like the idea of the mid game boss... or even a second Pat round, but with scrakes and FP's spawing

i like this, but i reminds me of resident evil a little too much
