How many of you actually acknowledge Long-Shot turrets...

when an opponent puts them up. I honestly think these things need more uses because hardly ever do I see them as too much of an issue when an opponent puts them up. I hardly ever tell my teammates to take them out like I would a Rocket. Does anyone really see them as too much of a threat?

in competetive play, yes, very much so

If you set up your firebase in an open area or you stick by an open turret (center node on Spunky for example) they will keep a support healing them until either is destroyed. Hacked 3.3 are the only ones I ever notice, though

in the competitive games that I have played, I have found that all turrets are useless.

a 3.3 rocket/ice/longshot are very useful in pubs, but I have yet to play in a private where a team was able to get any turret at level 3. They are destroyed too quickly.

So far only use I've found is to make turtle-teams pissed off on Spunky.

My problem is that longshots are only effective on Jackbots and if a bot group is stopped.

I just wish that I knew which nubs on which maps make longshots more effective or not effective at all.

I know that on Spunky placing a lonshot at the back in front of the bot spawn will make it useful on the annihilator area and backwards.

I'd like to see exactly how long a hack lasts for support and the range it has when hacked. Just have a small floating number above a hacked turret maybe.

see the .X when hacked (x is the number) have a look at it...it drains, that's the timer on the hack, the range thing has been discussed and most of us think its a great idea go look for that thread if you want

In a competitive game, turrets are almost useless. People take them out too easily, the only true way to stop the bots is to kill them before they reach your base.

I use them on spunky and AM when there are camping snipers on the enemy team. Mid front nub on spunky will hit the enemy ejector, level 2 about half way back. Level 2 on AM inside front will target the enemy bridges at level 2. I think of them as a temporary, disposable distraction for snipers...

Imo if they stay the same health they should add a sneeze gaurd onto them.

Once 3.3 longshot hits you in a middle of a long firefight for 2/3 of your health, you'll notice it.

They do their part against snipers, ruin my freezetraps and rip away my health, but honestly, sniper's a good job, outdoors...

I think that Longshots should auto home on Snipers personally... could solve so much

I'm half serious...

Longshots die way to easily to be worth the money. Sure 3.3 are annoying as hell but once you know one is shooting its dead very soon after.

Fix'd

I have 97 longshot kills on Xbox.

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you guys to get on my level.

Sorry, I don't like downgrades.

Upgrade to this.
87 MNC protags, beat that.

Moose, you know how much I love me some upgrade right?
