waves of muties into waves of bursters into waves of snipers is the definition of anti fun. no normal sane person enjoys this garbage. you get grabbed, tossed into bursters, or into no mans land with 5 snipers scoping you. this combo of 3 specialists is the worst (not counting flamer/ nader spam)
I get to feel normal as an Ogryn with this modifier… as I get 3 giant frags instead of the unnecessary limit of 1. So I kinda like the modifier
Barrels are very much a marmite mechanic but I’m on the side of enjoying them due to the dynamic they bring. I like that the environment has hazards as well as the enemies.
Loads of snipers is a real fun sponge though, ngl.
I don’t consider this one as very hard… however, they should remove the extra blitzes.
The most interesting is the one where specialists can become monstrosities.
Yea.. People keep saying things about barrels adding “dynamics” to the combat, or that “it would be boring” without them. But there was not a single karking time when I was caught by its explosion and said “woah that made this combat so much more interesting” or “shoot I feel so entertained right now, watching how others play the game without me after flying into some pit”, what I said - aloud, almost each and every time - can’t be posted here without me being timed out.
haha. they bring you the boom with extra barrels and bursters? well, you have extra grenades. like 3 on ogryn and up to 6 on scum and vet. how about bringing them the boom. it’s one of the most fun auric modifiers.
i like to shoot barrels with enemies near them. it also makes the game safer for us. but many don’t seem to think of this tactic that has been used since doom, they never stop but keep running forward into the barrels, even when their character says something about “yon barrel, kindred”.
