Javelin or Turle?

Which Merc are you most excited to see released?

Javelin? https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sWcfK0c6CY0/hqdefault.jpg

or Turtle? http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/dirtybomb/images/0/05/Turtle's_Deployable_Shield.png/revision/latest?cb=20151013004517

Not gonna lie, I want some rocket launcher mechanics, but instead of powerful equivalent of redeemer from UT series, I want it to behave more like Quake’s or TF2’s rocket launcher. Predicting enemy movement, and perhaps juggling them in air.

As long as SD do them right like they did Aimee, I will be playing both of them extensively and will be excited for their release.

I wonder if Javelin will be a he or she, playing Nader gets pretty boring tho


(Mr-Penguin) #4

hype

and from a ingame model that someone sent me i think he/she is chinese, from the hair style

If what you’re saying is true, that would make a lot of sense.

FIREWORKS = CHINA

I turtally want turtle.


(Your worst knifemare.) #8

I heard Javalin was a she.

Playing with a missle launcher sounds like fun too.

Turtle is needed far more since there hasn’t been an Engineer added to the game in over a year.

I don’t think turtle is “needed”, but it would be more different having a shield instead of another explosive weapon. I do agree a 4th engie is better than a 5th assault.

What I want is just a simple deployable shield, nothing fancy. I hope his weapon selection can include the arnold 12 and smg 9. Or even 1 or 2 assault rifles?

But if they do release javelin, I hope it’s more than just switching to your rocket launcher, pointing it at someone and blowing them to smithereens.

This is of course, if they even release a new merc.

I hope they give Javelin you know… a Javelin, something that does high damage but needs you to mark a target. I would like to see javelin as an in-between of Arty and skyhammer, with something not quite as strong as an airstrike, but on less of a cd and not able to be quickly spammed like arty.

Though from what the ingame model looks like a recoilless rifle(an rpg launcher basically) rather than an actual man portable missile system, which I would rather not see a spammy rocket launcher that can be used in close range :confused:

but I am really excited for turtle, I mean I am totally okay with him just having a basic shield. Just figuring out the cd/health on it will be interesting. We already see the mechanics in the game, like people using ammo stations as shields, then putting mines behind them, or putting down an ammo station in a hallway and then dropping a molly behind it. I feel like his mechanics should not be too crazy to develop, I mean its not like he has an ability that affects other players like Aimee does.

Though theoretically I like Javelin more, she’d be hard to balance and IMO the game needs Turtle the most, along with a general look into engineer balance.


(BananaSlug) #13

i dont like the idea of shield and i have enough of 1 shoot bullshit

sorry


(SweetGenocide) #14

I just imagined for a second a newbie Turtle blocking the ally team with the portable shield, oh god.

Turtle because he is Turkish and speaks Arabic

I expect to see an “Allahu Ackbar” voice line when he is planting the C4

Jesus fucking christ that’s way too racist for this game.
I expect that shitty line to come from an ex-KKK member, not Turtle.

There should be a “press F to (de)activate cover” option for friendlies, which would cause the shield to instantly lie down/stand up upon being triggered in this manner.

I think the turtle who placed it Turtle should be the only one who could interact with it (if they add that feature, to prevent noobs or trolls from screwing up your cover.
