I just saw this on E3 Trailer for Dirty Bomb, why isn't this in the game?

Well, imagine Turtle on free rotation.[/quote]

If it were on free rotation, I think it will inevitably force casual gamers to learn how to effectively utilize choke holds and make all them better players.

I can’t wait to have Turtle, I really want to use this merc in comp and in tourns.

Don’t most players already know how to hold a chokepoint? You need a few players, hopefully one being a medic, and shoot the people that come through.

Chokes are important, but focusing them too much will lead to a breakthrough somewhere else or a ninja plant. Turtle brings to the table to temporarily block a passage with a barrier that can be destroyed with concentrated fire- which frankly doesn’t change much in pubs.

As for comp, I don’t know how the Bushwhacker and Fletcher meta will be shaken up.[/quote]

No most players do not. Or at least not effectively, especially NA players.[/quote]

Depends on the servers you play in.

AHEM engineer AHEM, AHEM blocking the enemy from disarming the c4 AHEM

It makes sense for Turtle to come next but he’s still in development since he had never been playable in-game unlike Aimee, so there is a bigger possibility that Aimee will come since she just needs tweaks and some changes. However it’s just that Turtle’s an engineer and snipers aren’t as popular among experienced players.

Aimee can throw a camera and then look through the camera and move the view around.

camera also could explode

And flash, making the concussion grenades completely useless

I liked the announcer voice throwing out commands during game play now they only do it at a few spots I kinda wish I could go play the alpha version I thought it was way better than now

I guess this will be an upcoming merc ability… :tongue:[/quote]

That’s one way to slowdown the defenders from disarming the bomb on the first objective in underground.

More of a way to defenders to defend themselves while defusing the bomb. The wall is pretty short, but you could crouch behind it.

Turtle will:

-allow you to create partial cover while you do objectives in case your team mates aren’t around to cover your ass
-be able to defuse the C4 on the second part of Underground when it’s planted on the right side where you can be shot from the escalators
-hopefully get assault rifles so you can hold your own even against stronger mercs
-allow for some crazy jumps by getting on top of his shield

Yep I agree, I had a look at the deployable wall in Tutorial mode and it really is short. Hopefully they make it taller.

Imagine a day when we no longer need a guaranteed engie in the rotation, and the following free rotation is announced:

Vassili. Aimee. Redeye.

Now that you say it, this could make turtle a fantastic enginner, covering himself, and defusing for being an engi

That’s how I use the turret half the time. But the other half it shoots people. Sure, the shield has some uses but IMO Turtle needs something more in terms of weapons/HP to be on Bushwhacker level.

The differences will be that the turret doesnt have that much range and health, the shield will probably have a ton of hp, so it won’t kill, but it will defend better for the larger hitbox

In the video I saw of it, it looked too short. It kind of looked like your head would still be showing while crouching. I sure hope that isn’t the case because it isn’t exactly hard to headshot someone.

Nope. Doesn’t block the whole door.

…and it becomes your deathdoor if someone drops a Molotov down the top into the bomb room…
