Poll: Which Fictitious Foot Soldier Would it Suck to be the Most?

[aebonhawk]

Which fictitious basic foot soldier would it suck to be the most.

Personally I would choose the Guardsmen as having an average life expectancy of 15 hours after my first combat would really suck.

A close second is the Stormtrooper as I would mysteriously forget my basic training and marksmanship whenever a main character comes on screen.

As always introduce any other candidates and discuss any of the listed ones.

 

[AkJay]

Stormtrooper, because they just inevitably die on the Deathstar.

EDIT: All those poor independent contractors.

 

[relish]

Colonial Marine. They are pretty much dead the second they hear of an alien.

 

[barryween]

Halo Grunt, they just....suck...
Oh and for foot soldier it'd be awesome to be, I'm going with HYDRA.

 

[Syntax Error]

Genome Soldier from MGS: "Whose footprints are these?" followed by any of the following:

shot in the head with a tranquilizer
shot in the chest with a tranquilizer
shot in the crotch with a tranquilizer

shot in the head with a bullet
shot in the chest with a bullet
shot in the crotch with a bullet

put in a chokehold
throat slashed
neck snapped

CQC'ed

and many others.

 

[Seasons of Bailey]

Colonial Marine. They are pretty much dead the second they hear of an alien.

Basically. Colonial Marines are screwed the moment they sign up.

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

Colonial marines easily. They are walking cannon fodder before they even disembark.

 

[MrBrightside919]

Stormtrooper, because they just inevitably die on the Deathstar.

EDIT: All those poor independent contractors.

...they all knew the risk before they took the job

 

[DethVanXan]

Imperial Guardsman. Just trained for a week and thrown onto the front line to keep the enemy back until the space marines can show up.

I think it would suck the most to be a Meat Puppet from PSI Ops. Not a very well known game, but I enjoyed it. MPs are mind controlled grunts that just absorb bullets until sheer numbers overwhelm the enemy.

Colonial marines are okay, they just go against a really tough enemy.

 

[minidevil921]

I would say storm trooper because i just read death trooper.

 

[Worgen]

definatly the imperial guardsman, you end up eaten, bashed, burned and shot and depending on what enemy your fighting, even if you win you might be killed off because of potential corruption (chaos, seems like the guard who fight them tend to be... disposed of after)

 

[hopeneverdies]

Stormtrooper, because they just inevitably die on the Deathstar.

EDIT: All those poor independent contractors.

Well the aesthetics of that hole really complete the Death Star, it'd look awful if it wasn't there.

OT: I agree with your reason and

the Stormtrooper as I would mysteriously forget my basic training and marksmanship whenever a main character comes on screen.

I put my vote with Storm Troopers, because they all seem alergic to main characters and instantly lose about 70 points of IQ every time they are in close proximity.

My second choice would probably have to be the guards from Assassin's Creed 1. Seriously, those guys have the most unbalanced training in the whole world. They can climb around the cities like a freakin monkey but when it comes to actually fighting the person they ran half way across the map for they suddenly seem to go "ok so which end of this pointy thing am I supposed to hold?" and then proceed to stand in a circle watching in awe as Mohammad over there gets evicerated. Then Mohammad, and then Mohammad too.

Sucks to be an Assassin's Creed guard.

Not to mention that if you even think about retreating you'll be shot by your own leaders. Killed by orcs, your head could be impaled on a spike and used as a trophy.

 

[Thegoodfriar]

Stormtrooper would be the worst, not only would you not able to shoot the broad side of a barn, but your boss will then choke you to death for your incompetence.

 

[Internet Kraken]

Armed with flashlights and covered in cardboard armor, the Imperial Guardsmen bravely fight against the horrors of space!

And they are promptly eaten by said horrors. Being a Guardsmen sucks. When the best way to die is being shot in the face, you know you're fucked.
