Implementing backstab mechanic will make the gameplay so much more tactical. It will also add depth of a stealthy melee aliens creeping above their targets waiting for best opportunity to strike. Right now succesfull ambush means only that you succesfully land 1 of 3 attacks needed for kill. And before you land 2 more hardcore marine can bunnyhop out of your strikes and kill you. Isnt it a bit lacking? I personally would love to see aliens get some bigger adventage for succesfull ambushes. This way marines will also get more depth of gameplay by adding some thrill and need of carefull team tactics and area scanning, insetad of wild bunnyhoping and flying around like insects.
Even very old shooter i enjoyed like millenia ago "Enemy Territory" had backstab mechanic. I dont understund why it cant be done in this game too.
Basically idea is to make marines fear of aliens braking their lines and ambushing from any side but frontal.
