Critical Condition Crawling

[Frank_Stein]

I was thinking about this and here's what I think might work.

While standing and walking/running/sprinting in crit, you stand a greater chance of making your wounds worse, passing out, having a heart attack, and other bad life ending status effects happen to you when standing, moving, and performing actions.

While lying down and crawling, you're more stable and will breath better, bleed less, and generally live longer.

You could crawl to safety and lie down waiting for help, getting up only when necessary, you could try a mad dash and hope your heart doesn't give out before you get to medbay and/or kill the guy that killed you.

• Second, establish a point where the player might handicapped in general (the simple movement debuff from being wounded), but their ability to attack others and do difficult tasks (like healing oneself) is more greatly impeded. This is to encourage retreat. Item-drop emotes, weaker melee attacks, and reduced gun accuracy could come into play.
  

Yeah I think firmly establishing that in a fight between two people, the person who isn't in crit should firmly have the advantage.

Some other things that might work is having any melee attacks landed on a standing crit player knock them back down into prone.
