Thunder / Phantom merc role call vids

(Cletus_VanDamme) #1

These merc role call vids need to be removed or updated ASAP, as they contain incorrect information.

Thunder doesn’t have an EMP affect on his nade anymore, and it can’t be cooked.

And with Phantom, he doesn’t get de cloaked when spotted by a HB sensor, and last time I checked being cloaked won’t allow him to survive an airstrike, as shown in the vid.

Obviously myself and other long time players know these things, but if I were new and researching what merc to get next I’d watch the role call vids for some information.

While we’re at it, is it possible to make Phantom appear less like a melee merc in his role call ? So newbies won’t think he’s made to chase Proxies through the map with a big stick.

Classic retcon situation.

I mean, nobody thinks the cinematic trailer (Scrubs trailer) is 100% representative of the ACTUAL gameplay? Like 110% of any non gameplay video game trailers.

Agreed, I think the videos should be replaced because of the drastic changes that the mercs have undergone. The videos are definitely misleading to new players, and tbh I think it would be a nice idea to actually have the merc role-call’s linked in game. In which case, they would definitely need updating, but it would be a good idea to introduce players to the actual mechanics.

+1 to that too, Eox. I think showing off the cloak disabling deployables and actually going behind-enemy-lines would be much better than showing him stabbing people 100 times. :smiley:
