Gearheads of War

Hey, I was just watching the 1Up show again, and listening to Cliff discuss his design decisions, specifically as he talked about the meat shield, "Get-out-of-jail-free-card".  I started thinking that the meat shield is going to be hugely popular, especially for those good at aiming, because it is basically an overshield.  Then I realized that since I am often the first to die on  my team, if I am just downed, there may even be a time when it is more advantageous for my own teammate to shoot me from a distance (if they can't get to me on time), than to let the enemy pick me up for use as a shield.  You may hear me shouting "Shoot me!"  ha ha ha   Hmm.... maybe another reason to have friendly-fire on.

By the way, is the crawl feature replacing the self-revive feature?  We will eventually revive if given enough time?

Also, watch the vid at 20:25, when the floor sinks.  The Locust getting shot lifts up into the air slightly as the floor falls out from underneath him.  Beautiful physics!
