(BananaSlug) #21

@blonk yes i would love that, but look at him in google, what do you see ? oh… is that… kek 10. :frowning: sad true but nothing sure either

(MilkyBear) #22

Any Turtle fans here ?

(SereneFlight) #23

Nope.

(ImSploosh) #24

We need new maps and gamemodes over mercs D:

The amount of maps is just pitiful at the moment :frowning:

Hopefully we’ll get tons of maps as time goes on.

(Captain_Forward) #25

Yeh. New engineer > new useless sniper obviously.

(PleasantWheat) #26

Hell yeah man he’s the last merc I’ve been waiting for. HYYYYYPE. And as Ford_Perfect said a new engi would be WAY better than another frickin sniper for people to be useless with

Why not both?

Wouldn’t be the first time we got new maps with a merc (Stoker).

If we get Aimee, that’d be a pretty bad mistake. Personally I don’t really care for either Aimee or Turtle, but the fact is the merc roster needs another engineer, and not another sniper/light recon. Every free rotation needs to include an engineer, and as it is now, because of that, you see the same mercs way too often. Even having only one extra engineer would do a lot for pub variety.

Like I said though, personally I don’t really care for either of them, and would prefer to see Javellin released. Another tanky female with a direct fire support weapon would certainly be welcome, but I guess that’s not going to happen for a while.

Seen in action in the (old) video below. It also features “Throwing Knives”. I wonder whether they’ll be giving those to Aimee. That’d be much more interesting than a revised “Third Eye” cam.

Well, as a big fun of panzerfaust in ET (and a really skilled at using it) I would be very very very excited to have a chance of using rocket launcher in Dirty Bomb. I really don’t care about Turtle or Aimee, but can’t wait to see Javelin.

But, with that being said, I really hope they fix all major bugs first. This is more important imo.

I am not looking forward to javelin, the last thing dirty bomb needs is anorther cheap one-shot kill weapon, i played et wolfenstein for many years and i remember many servers with the rocket launcher disabled because they were not fun to play against.

If you watch the video I linked to, you’ll hear the commenter say that the rocket launcher in DB is only a OHK at (very) close range. At close range it would probably be pretty easy to outmanoeuvre as well, as it is a projectile weapon.

In this role it actually would be a means of instant fire support and area effect, at the expense of damage.

Yes, yes. All we need is knife, pistol and smg, everything else is cheap and requires no skill. I hear that every day when I’m playing DB. I’ve heard that every day when I played ET, especially after killing a bunch of people by a panzerfaust or with airstrike.
:wink:

I never really had a problem with the Panzerfaust in ET, but most people shied away from it anyway because it has a massive cooldown, tends to get yourself killed when used at the range it was easy to hit at, and used to be way too easy to dodge at ranges where it didn’t blow yourself up with it.

Frankly, if it’s a way to get rid of health station camps more effectively, I’m looking forward to it.

Back on the actual topic I think Aimee’s next. I don’t expect new characters to have polished models since their beta release because, well, I don’t think SD puts a lot of effort into this game anymore. The fact that she was released in the game files by accident hints at someone working on her files, which is the best lead we’ve got.

Not looking forward to her release because I’m sure she’ll come with a sniper rifle, for which the niches have already been carved out by other mercs. If she’d be wielding other weapons, she’d actually be interesting.

Turtle’s shield alone wouldn’t make me choose him over other engineers, so that also comes down to weapons. A proper gunner Engineer would make my day.

(Laionidas) #36

Still hoping for the baklava-tray skill on Turtle, but it’s unlikely to happen.

(Diosito) #37

I’m mentally ready to be disappointed again by an update.

For Turtle fans, you can sign this when they release him

I’m ready to feel :frowning: have been waiting since the beginning of this game for him.

(jollyRacer) #39

I’ll sing that if Aimee comes out but I still think its turtle. Just based on their abilities, Turtle’s more likely to come out first. We don’t even know what Aimee has.

(DirtyHarrier) #40

Yes we do, she has the third eye ability.
