I think its important just how fast the Battle turkey can be.

 

[Jelooboi]

So you guys don't wanna have your field of view up all the way when you play r2. I personally have my FOV at 86.
It just helps you aim better if you have a small gaming screen like me, I use a 22 inch lol.

shosca wtf that's exactly what mine looks like.

I wish we had mech horns. I'd definitely buy a turkey gobble horn for my battleturkey. Activate the ability and spam dat gobble gobble..

Don't be silly, that sounds ridiculous.. (o_o)

I want a gold chain that swings back and forth with mech movement.  It should have different gold medallions you can buy too.

[Flifang]

Like I said oh so selfishly in Ts one of those days (real descriptive). Because of my dedication to the game and the G2 raider, having (I hope still to be true) the most playtime in one; a solid gold chrome G2 raider. I've since decided it's ability must also leave a tron trail behind it as well. Literally sniper bait but I would play it all the time regardless!

G2R needs some elite parts though. Why is it rank 6 right from the start anyways ?

That's just how the G2 mechs were implemented, the G2 Assault is the same way.  There's no primary weapons to unlock for either mech, and I think they didn't have the resources to make elite skins at the time they were introduced.  Not exactly high priority, but it would be nice to have some elite parts eventually :)

It's my favourite C-class because it's so polarizing and difficult to use. Over the weekend whoever stuck with Battle Turkey in this match ended up doing reasonably well with it - http://www.twitch.tv...frock/c/6432651

The worst thing about G2 Raiders is when you run into one with your G1.  Trying to top mine off so I can pick up the G2 finally. 

[Flifang]

Yeah one thing a G2 has to watch out for is a skilled raider. A raider verses a G2 of equal skill often will come out on top. Just got to remember to be patient: you have the health for it. Pop your ability and walk backwards if you have to. Hell, I've used the ability as a dodge at times or just use it to quickly get to the next bit of cover. If it gets behind you pop your ability and walk backwards at a slight angle till you're facing them.

Whoaa Bunker Siege. How does that even work lol.

Surprisingly, really goddamn well.  It's always action packed since there's only one EU zone and it's under the AA, and the AA is super contestable.

So what do you guys think about what the G2 Raider needs improved? 
Or do you all like the masochism that bears with it?

[RhyKoSin]

For my G2R I run Adv Armor Fusor, Evasive device, Basic Extractor. I switch the evasive device out for power surge depending on what game-type I'm running. I notice the main problem with the g2r is if you miss one shot with the corsair, you might be boned. I love it though. It's my fav mech and crazy fun to be ballsy with. The items I run are 3 shields and 1 radar scrambler. I might go for 1 shield, 1 radar scrambler, and 1 emp though. I'll experiment. Edit: Tried Fuel Converter on it. It's insanely useful. Props to whoever brought that up. Now I use Armor Fusor, Fuel Converter, and Evasive device.

I think boost speed needs to be increased, and MAYBE it's walk speed a little bit.

Otherwise, this thing is a blast to play.

I read on some other thread about a suggestion for increasing the protection for the front while 'blitzing'. This makes a lot of sense because why else would the shield thingies be there ? it would be like a superfast turret-mode

I still think it should do damage to and/or knock back enemies it hits with the front and sides.

[Panzermanathod]

Well, I recently gotten a G2 Raider, AC Cuttah Kuu'Jizah (My G1 was L AC Kuu'Jizah).

 

Wow it's normal foot speed was slower than I thought. It'll be harder for me to sneak up on people in good time.

[comic_sans]

I love the masochism, but it needs:

 

- Slightly faster walk speed (the ability still needs to be where it gets its mobility but right now it's just too slow)

- Silent ability (as in doesn't show on the radar); could make this thing function as a sort of fat infil and buff offensive play

- Either no fuel consumption during the ability or decreased fuel consumption

 

I'd also like the ability to be more frequent, but that might overbuff it if the other concerns are addressed; it was at a perfectly fine frequency when it was released and could be popped multiple times even in a 1v1, but we lost the frequency we need in a trade for how long the ability needs to last in its patch.  30 seconds is not bad at all to deal with, but this mech's ability is unlike other mechs in that it focuses entirely on movement; raider's abil unlocks weapons while boosting, and scout's abil refills its tank as well.  The ability's focus on movement necessarily contrasts its normally slow walk speed and is its only justification, whereas other mechs get damage boosts or invisibility or other directly powerful things, which makes more sense for their longer cooldown (though I have Opinions on infil too).  Basically the ability should just mesh with the combat a bit more comfortably; 20 seconds would be a good cooldown I think because it'd always be ready when you need it, but not completely replace all your movement decisions.

 

The ability also serves as a foil to the lack of a hitscan or detonatable secondary, which, besides raider, is currently only something dedicated support mechs have (incin, rocketeer, tech, bruiser) and while the raider can deal with the kiting disadvantage against defensive players with its normal boost, walk, and hover speeds, the g2 raider, something that seems built to perform the same role as an attack/closer mech as inferred by its weapons, often simply can't do anything about quick mechs kiting with remote det weapons; you can do some good work with the claw, but there needs to be a surface nearby for splash, and sometimes ugly floor geometry like on origin can make relying on this futile.  The faster mech will just run away as long as it needs to to whittle the g2 user down, unless the user times his ability perfectly to close the distance and force the faster mech into a direct confrontation for at least a little while.  This reliance on the ability to deal with smart defensive play is not something a brawler or a grenadier or a vanguard has to deal with, and a rocketeer or incin shouldn't even be in that situation alone.  Basically, the g2 raider's loadout is super offensive and its ability is super offensive and necessary to playing the mech successfully at all, unlike turret mode or gren damage buff, but not quite good enough to deal with the drawbacks of no remote det/hitscan secondary that smart players can just space out or put a wall/corner between.  The g2 should have more chances to close down its kill; there's no reason this fun thing can't be great as well.

I agree give me eoc or give me death ..... eoc for life .....CAN WE GET A FEW MORE OPTIONS ON THE G2 RAIDER Not  A BIG T32 FAN. I just decided  to learn the G2 battle turkey  for shits and giggles .

[talon70]

Took a good hard look because of the u*** comment, next to the raider the g2 is by FAR the sexiest sweetest looking mech out there

.... what lines!

 

Trying to play the BT lately and it is adjusting my mmr for me. I would love other primary options for the g2's and also remove the level so we can level them up

After playing a bit last night I think I got my mojo back. Pimped out my latest G2 in black and a few new parts.
On another note, those times you're fighting two mechs and you ignore one to better your odds of getting a kill, and you turn around fed up with that annoying a-class' bull fuzzy bunny and pop them like a zit. Most satisfying thing ever, even when you don't finish off the guy you were focused on.

Holos are great just put one down when somebody is stalking you around a structure and walk around the outside. I did this on the way back of the bakery on front-line with both speed boosts up and at 7 hp managed to take out a 90% hp assault by complete surprise point blank. It was like a cartoonish run around.
