Okay, that was good. I chuckled.

I really need to stop delaying and get Borderlands.

 

[Inco]

Haha... Yea.. That 'Ability' in that game does seem kinda funny when compared to the other characters ones.

Though my turret always dies way too quickly to actually deal damage.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

Nice one. got a laugh out of that.
or maybe a midget-laugh... still a laugh...

heh, Mordecai is brilliant
he's meant to be the sniper, but I only ever find good shotguns...

 

[ninja steve]

rofl that is the greatest power

 

[Kodolb.]

K.. I'm gonna get the dude with the Turret then.

 

[Sonicron]

Teeheehee. Funny, that was exactly my reaction to Mordecai's 'special attack'.
And, of course, I had to play as him. Not even much of a competition, actually. The 'murderous coward' argument is very appealing to me, too. xD

 

[Fudgo]

I has a bird. Pheer meh.

Seriously though, the bird does have its upsides. Since Mordecai is primarily a sniper, it can help if an enemy get too close, and I've heard that it can be really strong against enemies when upgraded.

 

[DamienHell]

I like the bird, it can one hit most targets, and does serious damage to the tougher units

and takes 100 seconds to reload
to be fair, the bird only has 28 seconds or something, so if you get it good, and get the upgrade so it can hit multiple people, it would be quite good

 

[Distorted Stu]

Hhaha great comc. Siren class is the best imo. Hunters suck.

 

[Slycne]

That was more or less my original reaction as well, but like everything else in the game Bloodwing gets significantly more badass over time. With a few talents and the class item on my level 30ish Hunter - he currently will dive bomb up to 8 guys for a consistent 2,000 damage, one-shotting most everything but bruisers. I love that little bird now.

 

[Susan Arendt]

I really need to play this game. I find the idea of a death-dealing birdie to be irresistible.

 

[Mr. Socky]

I like the bird, it can one hit most targets, and does serious damage to the tougher units

Plus, hawks are badass.

 

[syndicated44]

Okay now I feel bad cause the first guy I picked was mordecai. However I dont think I have used the bird more then a dozen times however my sniper is about as awesome as it can get.

 

[Ninja Tank]

wish you could attach a laser to the bird's head

 

[Liberuno]

All the other abilities are pretty awesome, but when I played Mordecai, I hardly used his.

 

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

Remember: the difference between a murderous coward and a hero is that the coward is alive.

 

[CosmicCommander]

Hilarious

when powered up, bloodwing (or shockwing as his ability is now called) kicks all ass: 8 targets, heavy damage, leech health and caused all hit targets to drop more loot. plus a sub 30 second recharge time. coupled with the nasty explosive shot firing sniper rifles and a good healing shield and you are damn near invincible. even against the badasses.
