Dr.Freeman (a member of the steampowered forums) has posed a suggestion to Valve in a recent post concerning Day of Defeat: Source. In his post he asks that if an MG-43 or MG-34 has no place to deploy their gun that they should be able to use another soldier as a prop. Example Dr.Freeman goes on to explain that the MG could approach a soldier, press the use button which would then give the concerning player an option to become a "Meat-Shield". I thought it was the funniest thing i'd seen all day but also one of the best ideas that has ever came out of that forum. What do you guys think, is this something you would like to see in DoD: Source ?How would this work you ask? well,
when a player has an MG he comes up behind another player. and presses the use key. once he press the use key on the player who is crouched down i message will appear on the screen of the crouched player asking him if he wishes to be used as a "Meat shield" (or a support)that player will then hit his use key and the MG will rest on this players sholders.i think it would be quite nice, also providing more team work
