Bollocks.

EMP is the only other really useful thing besides the IDS that the support can carry. Sure sentry guns might get you a kill or two but they are generally fairly useless. If the map has any armor at all I always carry EMP.

It is situational and you can always swap out. Lemme put it this way. Tunis, the enemy walker is down. It respawns in what, 3-5 minutes? What is more useful in that time, an EMP you'll probably never throw or a sentry gun which at least provides a deterrent?

Which is more useful when you're defending that heavily wooded point on Belgrade? An EMP you'll probably never throw or the gun?

Defib is always of use, even if you're the only med because someone can kit switch. EMP is almost always of use; but sometimes it is just wasted pack space. Thus my original point stands, EMP is good but not always needed. Besides, the whole point is moot (not mute) within the context of the discussion at hand since we all agree on the IDS, including me. The first step to that is the EMP, the third is the sentry gun. So it isn't like I'm advocating not unlocking the EMP nor never carrying it. Kind of impossible. :P

Think about it, if you can get a lock on said armor then said armor is dead and you have saved your squad from certain ruin.

Yes, hence why I did not say it was never useful or even rarely useful. I said it was not always needed. I point I stand by since it was replying to BM's extremely high evaluation of the EMP.

Sry didn't mean to derail this thread but Zho's hypnotic skills force me to expound on the way of the EMP grenade!

Not that I mind learning but I do mind, a tad, when someone takes what I wrote and blows it out of proportion and then expounds upon the blown out of proportion point instead if the one I actually made.
