Like very cool spec and all, however!
THE FUCKER KEEPS FFING THE WHOLE FRONT, EVEN DEMO CANT DO THAT CONSITANTLY. THE DAY THIS SHIT ASS CENTRAL FF SPEC GOT ADDED , ALL WE GOT AS MARINES IN RETURN WAS MORE FF! Fucking xenodevs are cackling their ass off! next time I see somebody pick SHARP spec I’m going to PB him, this will save agruably more marine lives then when he walks around bumbling about shooting DARTS up my ass!
Thanks, this was my TEDtalk!
I think sharp needs buffs/a rework if anything.
It pales in comparison to the grenadier spec.
You can also have crushers just walk on the explosive mines and make them useless.
cant tell if shitpost or this should actually go in ideaguys
more?
The line is always thin
another poorly designed mechanic that sucks for xenos when viable and sucks for marines when not
man who coulda seen that one coming
I agree, xenocord would never allow this to become a viable spec to use. The fact that an average joe xeno can trigger the darts with acid or have an t3 explosive resistant caste to trigger them makes them useless.
The darts need to deal more damage to punish ravs or crushers purposely triggering the mines so they actually work as area denial. It would be absolutely reasonable for the mines to deal a third of their health, so it actually does its fucking job. I don’t give a fuck if xenos cry about this. You compare this spec to grenadier, grenadier has the ability to stunlock nearly all the xenos to death, what does SHARP have in comparison? You hit a xeno with the SHARP dart, it’s a delayed explosion. The xeno is just gonna run 100 miles behind their own lines and get a love tap from the explosion. If its incen, they just gonna burn a little bit and have one of their buddies pat them out.
Right now, the SHARP spec only exists as a legal way to grief marines. I will be high rolling spec for the sole purpose of mining the marine front with incen and explosive darts right in front of caded marines just to grief. Admins cannot ban me because I am only doing my job as a SHARP spec. Which is either to mine the front or shoot the backs of the marine by “accident”. The fact I need to beg a medic to remove the embedded dart from my ass is a travesty and is another layer added just for fucking the riflemen.
What does SHARP stand for and why is everyone in such a huff over it?
Sonic-Harpoon Artillery Remote Projectile, also I guess its got a high-skill ceiling and brainless marines are trying to shoot through friendlies thinking they have IFF
that and they place them way too close to friendlies not realizing the sensor range is like 3 tiles
