Getting Killed from door kick

[Damn Right!]

Hello,

I know that you can get killed by getting a door you are standing near kicked down. However, I've noticed on multiple ocassions, if you were to stand beside the door frame and the door is kicked, you would still die. I think this is problamatic, because one wouldn't think that you would die in such a situation, yet you do die regardless. This has gotten me killed multiple times, as I mentioned. Thoughts?

Maybe don't stand so close to doors?

[GRU-Vy]

the door swings open. you die that way.

[pipi long stocking]

don't let the door hit you on the way out, lol

Joe Rogan could kick a door into you and you still wouldn't die. Deadly doors are dumb.

It's because their physics model is based on Bruce Lee kicks! :P

Getting killed by a door kick is a ridiculous game mechanics.

It is, but it is fun and satisfying to get a kill with a door breach, sometimes you forsake realism for fun.

They should add stun similar to jumping off of a high place to door breachs and get rid of instant kills from that.

[Rymd]

no they shouldn't

its a rare occurence and if you got killed by it you deserved to die

[zedisdead]

Look I get it that you like that but I'm all about realism, yes I know this is a just a game but I would like that intant kill mechanic to go away. I have yet to kill or be killed by a door but it was a stupid idea to make it a instant kill in the first place.

Here's the catch - the door opened away from me, not toward - so I techncically wouldn't be hit by the door swing.

Yeah I was watching the video on steam store, thinking "this looks like a worthy successor to Bad Company 2, I'd love to play multiplayer FPS again", and the guy in the video said that standing in front of a door being kicked down could kill you. I mean, with all the stuff he said leading up to that, it was very jarring. Yeah, jarring. Like being in front of a door when it's kicked in - very surprising, and potentially painful if the door wedges against your combat sandles where your pinky toe is, or if it falls against your shoulder blade or cervical spine or kidney or funny bone or whatever and gives you an ouch. Jarring. Luckily, the shocking information that the falling door in Insurgency: Sandstorm is lethal did not give me such a nasty surprise that I dropped dead on the spot. My health is sufficiently robust that I can just walk away, and wonder how some game designer had such a bad day.
