I suppose this is the part where I totally don't mention that Tempest and I are doing a quick collaborative post.And that Morai reveals that some of the enemy wield chainswords .And you walked into that fog..

I've played a lot of Gears of War.Bring it on you chainsaw wankers, I've got a big shotgun here just for you.

Tempest said
... What I can only assume as a better trained man with higher survival perks just walked out of the fog. Him and his sister both got ROFL-stomped by them. They had shotguns too. You are racing towards your death, my friend.

MelonHead said
Perhaps, but my character has a shotgun, cqb, and adrenaline junkie.I've put him in the best possible situation to do the most potential damage, this is where he excels if no where else.He also has (provided he makes it to the wall) the best cover out of anyone in our squad, so it's literally just a case of shooting people with swords with a -shotgun-I like those odds.

Tempest said
You're assuming they aren't brutes with super-thick skin and can sustain multiple shotgun blasts. Or rage-monsters that will continue fighting despite taking a shotgun blast to the face. Or stealth creatures you can't see. Or flying. Or super fast.Going into the fog, its thick. Pea soup thick. You aren't seeing far. So you're going to have issues seeing people before they're in range to hurt you. And, ya know, there's also the chance that they have tech and/or natural skills to overcome the thing.Oh, right, and there is the suggestion that they're either highly tactical if not outright psychic.But ya know.That whole rushing in thing because you believe that your abilities are effectively min-maxed in your favor. Always smart. *thumbs up*

You can keep telling me how stupid my decisions were based on your brilliant gift of foresight if you wish, it really makes no difference to me. I'm only working with the information my character has at the time, and standing around chatting when people are actually dying only a couple hundred feet in front of you is ridiculous at best.It would also be completely out of character, and if you have to do that in order to 'win' then you've already missed the point, something I find a lot in Arena.

MelonHead said
Everything you've just said is completely invalidated by the fact that your character didn't even tell anyone over the comms what we're facing.End of discussion, if it can even be called that.

Alright kids, you can relax now.

No, no. I like where this is going. Let me go grab a snack, and I can kick back and watch the brutish cock-sure CQC guy fight it out with a crazy woman who could most likely lay out of a 260 pound man in one punch.

I have no idea what you're talking about, but cool.
