I know the turret mode is removed from actual gameplay, but we can still use it in the carousel at the end of the match. My request is that the devs should remove this and maybe give the grenadier something else to do when the ability button is pressed. It just makes me feel weird when I see it now.

I like it weird

While I was moving the mouse to open the thread, I knew exactly what I wanted to say: "GRENADIER DOESN'T HAVE TURRET MODE ANYMORE YOU FUZZY BUNNY!!!!".



I was mistaken

I have made the topic like that on purpose, just to mess with guys like you.



@craftydus, it just makes me feel nostalgic, the first time I used a grenadier was when it was its last day on trial and I was new to hawken. I used the turret mode and the damage boost made me feel like a god, I was hitting people all the way across the map. I decided to buy it after I got infil and incin but the day I got incin they announced the change in its ability. The sad part is that I use grenadier more than infil and incin and I never got another day of godlike feels.

I simply meant people who go ballistic when someone posts something like this. Of course there are some people who do it more than you do, I'm guessing that they just saw the topic and went," Fuzzy Bunny this, I'm not gonna spend my time on something like this."

Grenadier is my current go-to mech for godlike feels.

First time I used gren was on a test drive as well. I was still but a mewling newb and was in God awe at who I would now come to know as xacius, giving the enemy hell in his bruiser and yelling at me for going into turret mode a lot
This led me to buy the bruiser next
also learning to lead rev-gl shot near perfectly is so damn rewarding

No, turret means more splosions.  I don't care if it isn't there anymore

What did the gren turret mode do_

Increased damage and blast radius like the current ability, but as a turret.  Since the gren wasn't good at defending itself while nearly stationary, it mostly got you shot in the ass.

Please read the topic I'm not asking for it to come back, I'm just saying that it should be removed from the game altogether(it's still there in the carousel).

I know that the grenadier turret mode was not viable cuz if something came close to it, the grenadier would die easily. But back then I was a new player, playing at low mmr, it just made me feel invincible and now I feel nostalgic when I see it go into turret mode.

[EM1O]

when i'm using HEAT Fatfiltrator, it makes really quick work of enemies. the splash on a charged shot seems bigger now.
gotta keep the turret thing for the brag bar at the end, tho: when i throw down my chicken holotaunt, i gotta be able to give him hug luvs.

[bad_wolf2013]

I was thinking that maybe they could make a stomp animation for it(like incin) without the fire, just explosive goodness. But then i thought," Nah, stupid idea." Maybe one of you guys can come up with a suggestion_

Yep, i read it, I don't know why i wrote that but it is fun to taunt people with at the end and it reminds some players of ye ol' days (like you said).  I'm not one of those players though lol.

I'd be fine with just being able to pop the ability and have the holographic effect on all mechs, except for the g2 raider which would do its whole weird ability thing and stomp forward in place a few times.

Also, current grenadier is an utter beast and if you get the hang of making c classes dance, it really is unparalleled.  Rev-GL gren is amazing when played well, but vulcan gren is probably the very best mech for deathmatches that don't contain extremely defensive scouts, and even then, one good ability-buffed nade and a few bullets takes them down if you're quick, and the absurd AOE means you can't miss if you try.  I have had some fun streaks as king of the hill in fightclubs with it because you can really only lose if you're lazy.

Ooh I hadn't thought of that. I love gren, so I'll have to try out the vulcan death match!

Really_ A whole thread just to remove a carousel animation_

Don't we have enough real issues surrounding this game_

Because speculating about other issues actually accomplishes something_ I don't see what the problem is...
