Let Sulks get back up after death, stated with the amount of chance and health as needed for balance, then rines wont be spawn camping, and most coordinated alien ambushes will be successful, cos at it stands now. 5 aliens can all get into position coordinated, i mean pulling sulks from everywhere and setting them up perfectly, and all at perfect timing attack, a uncoordinated group of three marines and still have a high chance of getting owned. now what happens if that first sulk gets back up at your feet just as you step on his corpse, adds a whole new dimension.
a simple model of this could easily be made for balance testing purposes, if a sulk dies give him 15 seconds too decide to spend 3 res to get back up with 25 hp thats just out of red isn't it? or in red. just in red is good, leave him his previous upgrades, and don't award RFK for the second death if hes rekilled. If he gets back up give him 30 seconds to live, unless he can heal to full health. so thats 5 seconds to chop that last marine and 25 seconds to get to some healing be it dc, hive or gorge, makes more use of feild gorges, and regen / dc's and kharaa will want a second hive.
Your trading your in que timer, for a second win at the cost of res out of your own pocket, hopefully the rfk you receive will pay for this and pray there is a gorge near by.

<-- this is a SKULK. Please fix that.
What you propose could be creepy and make for interesting gameplay if implemented correctly, but I doubt many here will be for it.

When skulks are coming from all sides they tend to chomp unupgraded marines pretty hard.
If they got up... Seems kind of pointless except for base defence...
If a skulk is near the hive when it dies... Chance on death to ressurect would be really helpful.

Hi guys, I had a bad idea I pitched in the general forums and got shot down. I'm copying and pasting the argument from there and responding to all criticisms with a verifiable "nuh-uh".

ROFL, WOW your a A55, F-OFF.
Actually, I brought a fact up in general that needs to be spoken about in a open form, as appose to the original poster who flamed this games slight off balance in this latest version with a Sarcastic Spartan image. Yes he did it the wrong way I brought it up correctly, it just so happened that while discussing, a few idea's got tossed around, I figured it was appropriate that I reposted my idea here as appose to in the general derailing my own thread. Now go eat a snit and die.

Don't sulk, apparently you aren't any good at that either. 0/2 so far.
