Another Public Service Announcement........

**laggyNgroovy** · 10-10-07, 12:14 PM

point is, a sentry gun doesn't take much damage to destroy. However, Firedog was getting repair points of a lowly sentry gun.

Sentry guns ARE another source of damage for the enemy. Whether you like them or not, the enemy has to honor the threat. Instead of just running blindly by a friendly sentry, why not repair it. Maybe it will kill an enemy, maybe it won't. Either way, the enemy has to slow down and honor the threat.

You need the repair points, I don't. This is/was just an announcement for people to make use of as they see fit. I'm still going to keep fighting in the styles that I do and experimenting with new stuff as I usually do.

Those repair points are hard to come by. I'll repair a lowly sentry gun any chance I get.

Laggy, I think you hit the nail on the head about those sentry guns. They are pretty invaluable for helping to maitain defensive positions. I'm glad to hear they can be repaired, I'll be sure to take advantage of that when I can.

Aside from the regular use of stalling armor, I've also seen the EMP nade vs. defenders tactic that Bigdog was talking about as well as having the luxury of having it used against me. I can't speak for every one, but I'll say this about it, its a bitch or rather, more like a mild annoyance. Other than that it didn't work against us and it didn't work the other times I saw it on attack. I can see where it will help triumph over less experienced players who rely too much on those sentry guns, but I'd like to think the majority of us are advanced enough that a fuzzy screen and loss of the sentry suppression isn't going to make a difference. Being on defense with those sentries in place at the first bulkhead is like being at a tea party. When you break up the tea party, then there's hell to pay.

I can still shoot people dead just as easily without an aiming reticle. A rocket is still going to explode where its aimed at and nade is still going to destroy any attackers trying to come it. The annoyance comes from having to replace the sentry gun. Conquest is a different story though. EMP nades dropped in the middle of a battle is a bitch.

It's a shame you don't get a point for destroying a sentry gun...

I have found that sentry guns will sometimes cut off a route for a given person. I use them to help channel folks since there are definite times where the thing will cause a major distraction for the enemy. The other thing I like is that sometimes, the little fella gives me kills long after I am dead. It is times like that where I wish I could give the little bugger a hug

Also having something else that gives repair points can help those folks (me) work on some engineering badges that I normally wouldn't get on infantry heavy maps...

I think it is worth carrying. I've taken out a squad of 3 defending a consol only to get killed by a damn sentry gun hiding in the back. I like them better than the EMP grenades.
