Which do you hate more in the free rotation?

(Amerika) #21

Most everyone buys him first anyway since, at their heart, every single FPS player is a “cold hearted sniper” :slight_smile:

I really hate it when Bushwhacker is on free rotation. The unpredictable and stacking turrets are just ridiculous sometimes.

(MarsRover) #22

The only 2 mercs I don’t have are Phantom and Vassili. I guess I’ll buy Vas then, I want to be a tru 360 pro :wink:

If a turret is in a bad spot but kills/impedes you, doesn’t that make it a good spot? #TooLazyToMakePhilosoraptorMeme

Vassili - Half of my teammates trying to snipe…

Nader - Every forking low life using nader and camping with GL !

When you play against experienced players you know where to expect turrets. They are in quite a few solid positions because it gives them great surprise or crossfire or for baiting. When you play against people using him on free rotation a turret, and sometimes multiple turrets, could be literally anywhere. Rooms/areas that never have turrets can suddenly have them and there is no reason for them because they are typically easily destroyed. But sometimes you get caught off guard due to circumstances despite the turret being in a horrible spot and it’s riling.

Random placement isn’t very effective but when there is 5 Bushwhacker’s on the opposing team it suddenly becomes the worst thing ever for me.

RHINO

I hate dealing with tanky characters, it’s frustrating cause it’s such a stacked fight in the favor of Rhino. At least with Fragger it’s totally possible to win a fight if you’re smart. Even if you get the drop on Rhino he just wrecks you.

I don’t know…kinda like him…most good Snipers own him already and the bads that can’t hit the broad side of a EV play him and make it easier…

Only I seem to get stuck with the bad ones…we needed to lower the ramp on bridge…had 2 lousy snipers staying in the back not doing canything…so it was like a 5v7 :frowning:

Yeah…I hate being teamed up with multiple Bush…people seriously get kill greedy with the turret and they’ll place theirs in front of mine…while mine is somewhat strategically placed theirs sticks out like a sore thumb and makes it Nader fodder…while theirs is naded down so is mine.

Of all the Vassilis I’ve played with and against this Rotation, I’ve only ever seen one Heartbeat Sensor. I duly shot it when I saw the DETECTED marking. But that was the only one.

(Gh0st1e) #29

Well based on the dev stream that just ended, we aren’t going to see this change any time soon if ever so get used to it.

(RyePanda) #30

My least favorite merc has to be vassili… especially because it seems like every low level player wants a sniper rifle, no matter how skilled they are.

(uWotm8-AU) #31

On my team - Vasili without a doubt. Why people think it’s ok to go 4/9 and end up with 1100 exp in a stop watch, not PTFO at all is beyond me.

On the enemy team - Playing verse good players using bushwacker can be frustrating, but that’s quite easy to overcome with some teamwork and smart merc choices.

I really hate free rotation. Can we rest from them? I know is a good idea for testing mercs, but why we can have only for the weekend or for a few days. It should be a novelty, not a constant.

Also the idea of having 2 free mercs is not that good, should be better is anyone can choose 1 merc at the start and then keep buying the rest one by one.

Matches would have much more variety

So how will you fill your squad when there’s only 1 free merc and no free rotation?

Nope. Everyone will pick Fragger/Rhino/Vassili and there’ll be no medics/engineers.

Individual rotations would fix everything, but looks like we won’t be getting them.

You missed Phoenix :wink: It is two weeks now so it must be in rotation :P… would be good if it was PPP Phantom, Proxy, Phoenix[/quote]
The golden shower of rotations?

(Merci1ess) #35

Nader. 'Cause she’s an annoying bitch. Always need to run away from those damn explosions.

[/quote]I play Bushwhacker a lot (the first mercenary I bought) and the turret is nice and all, but any mercenary with grenades can take them out very, very easily.

The turret has other issues too. It doesn’t lock on very quickly, it doesn’t do all that much damage, and at the edge of its range it isn’t particularly accurate. I’m a little disappointed in the performance honestly. The greatest value of the turret is setting up a cross fire situation.

Let the game use only 1 Merc, 2 empty slots, having 3 mercs to fill the squad will be also a goal.

I dont think, so, there are people that enjoy playing medics, or enineers.

I agree with individual rotation as an alternative, or another viable option.
