: Yeah something should maybe be done about Predator suicide. It sucks if you're a marine chasing down a predator who has 20 health and then jumps in the drink and drowns itself only to respawn all the way across the map with full health and one less frag. The Predator should lose 2 or 3 frags for killing itself or Meerbat's idea is actually pretty sound.
The Pred does lose one frag for suicide.
I do hear you tho. There HAVE been instances where people would eat the frag penalty just to respawn
somewhere else with full damage, etc. I can probably work out some method of choosing a new pred (even randomly).
If I do put it in, it will probably be an optional server variable.
Not that big of a change.
