Just smashing up the door then a couple of marines carrying a sentry just enters and drops down a sentry in the opening of the door before they retreat behind the sentry and open fire :)

    That is, if the sentry has a fixed "cone of fire" and it's beefier than running and gunning with a HMG (no point in dedicating two marines for that job if it's no use, well, maybe some extra firepower for that cool entry). :D<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    Why two?

    I mean one that can't use his guns seems fine, and the advantage would be that if you have time, you get that marine's firepower plus the sentry gun, the disadvantage is that if you don't have time, you lose that marine's firepower.

    Because two carrying it is cooler.
    (not thinking about competitive balance here)

    From a visual perspective maybe, but it'd be really really annoying to implement, I don't want to have to follow someone else around constantly.

    Besides, the NS1 sentries weren't that big, and I don't think the NS2 ones should be too much bigger because it would seriously limit how easy they are to place.

    I would say they are going to be more stocky that existing, around similar sizing but based on current models and changes, definately more stocky.
