I would like to have a button to play dead.
So that I look like dying, can be selfkill, or if a bullet is just hitting me - maybe as if it had killed me.
No death msg given, thats the only hint.
If that gets implemented, be sure one can’t playdead in EV
That’s definately one of the functions I wouldn’t like to see in the game. I hated it in W:ET and can’t imagine how that function will make the game a lot more attractive? Besides it would be a terrible e-sports feature, so if it’s implemented, than I would suggest to make it into public only.

>Fall over
>Get shot till dead to prevent medics from reviving me
Yeah, what was the point in that again?
It’s just a way to troll new players 
Better players will know to look for the “you killed xxx” message or just keep shooting till they’re gibbed. I don’t really care if it’s implemented, it would just be a gimmick imo.
It’s fun to troll people indeed. Like in the middle of a firefight to just playdead while in the air haha
Nevertheless, seeing how dead players are highlighted with grey color and to be gibbed ones still colorful, i doubt this would fool anyone. But fun nevertheless. In W:ET simply the animation was hilarious when you used it midair <3
How about the feature playdog? This is where you get on all fours and run around and bark like a dog. No one wants to shoot a dog.
Why are you wasting kb’s of data online with a DUMB thread such as this. Honestly. DIACF.
TBH, no one posted a reason why it would be so bad?
Just because its stupid to use in most situations? You can also just press foward, and not strafe in comp, its stupid as well. Should they remove the forward button? :S
Is it so bad cause someone could be potentially “camping” - playing dead; and then suddenly pop your head from behind?
[QUOTE=Humate;457882]Self Revive which I believe is Medic03’s ability, is pretty similar.

Not really, since the other guy gets a kill and you have to waste precious health points. And on top of that, you cannot decide when to die, except if you have no problem with self killing yourself. But than again, that’d leave you entirely dead, with no possibility to revive yourself.
PS: Playing dead seems lik the worst possible feature to me, followed by “downed fire”(even though, that even made sense to some degree)

Had to look up downed fire, that feature gives you an advantage. Playdead on the other hand, gives you not really an advantage. It makes you vulnerable. You cannot move anymore, the enemy can continue to shoot and kill you, while you can’t shoot. It only gives a certain advantage if you where able to deceive your enemy.
I think it depends how it would be implemented, in certain ways it could be OP.
i think coverts using stealth mode negates the need for this.
btw the udk has this feature built in. and one thing springs to mind.
when sleeping will the player be his alive colour or dead colour?
will he ragdoll down? if so then this would be over abused, mainly by me.
so just for the lols 
yeah lets have it. as a gameplay mechanic no. just because covert does it better by requiring skill.

Yeah I was just thinking that the ragdoll in the game could probably be abused to some extent. I’ve been revived within cars and other objects due to rag-dolling into them.

From the perspective of the mechanic and the intention behind it, its very similar.
The only major discrepancy is that self revive, and similar mechanics like spawnhosts in etqw, also serve to save traveling time across the map, whereas feigning death does not.
Personally I cant say I’m a fan of feigning death, has always been gimicky in past titles.
