Boxing possibility

[KARL SERG]

I wonder how boxing or punching people with hard armored suits will actually help.
Your just hurting yourself if that did happen.
Not unless the armored suits gave you super human strength to actually punch other armored suit users/ Robots/Aliens and do actual damage to them.
But why punch a person/robot/alien to death if you can just slice people with ease than throwing your fists around them?
I don't even know how punching would work on PB 2.5 since its like a 2D-ish game..
If you try to imagine it. It just looks awkward to be honest to see two people going left and right throwing fists.

I disagree. I am fairly sure that the Characters of PB aren't the Humanoids we know, but rather genetically refined ones. Proxy's Head without a Helmet, along with the Marine's wearing a Ski Mask, is not going to get destroyed much more easily than in the situation where they have an Actual Helmet. I'm fairly sure that this is the case for each of the other PB Characters.

It's the same story with healing; I doubt that the Armors have another role than providing extra Protection in this Game (as in Armor, not Ability enhancement).

In this case, you're just overthinking things. This is just game design. Do you really think Eric is going to make one of the skins happen to have an insta kill area of them?

Anyways, I'm against the whole idea of 'boxing'
Its nice that you can't do damage while you don't have swords, this gives options to map makers.

if you want pb2.5 to be more entertaining, then vote + for this idea

even though two heavy armored men fighting each other with their bare hands sounds dumb, this can be fun to do in many custom maps

i dont even see a reason to criticize this "boxing idea". what's the point? prove how smart you are by stating an obvious fact that boxing in a space shooter makes no sense?

It's a game that's not supposed to be entirely realistic at all. Both sides here have decent points but it's getting out of hand and is leading to nowhere, especially since it's just a feature. There's no harm done apart from balancing this idea if it does get added

It'd be like using swords like you normally would except the swords can't be seen and they do far less damage. I'd prefer if anything like unarmed melee was optional though.

It would be perfect. Just imagine the feeling of punching a Gunshop/School Map God (into oblivion if near the edges of the map).
