    Honestly, I don't understand why you people call them Turrents, it is not what they are! Call them what they are or stop speaking english! It's not like it's some kind of shortcut for typing, and there is no reason you should say Turrents on your mics as it makes you sound dumb.

    That's my two cents.

    Your two cents are stupid.

    You know what they mean, there is no reason to complain other than just being annoying.

    I think Turrents need to be buffed.

    I thought you wanted speaking turrets like in Portal

    They could stay stuff like "I'll give you this much, you stop a bullet very well"

    Well i'm sorry I prefer to use proper grammar when speaking and typing. I'm not making anyone conform, i'm simply saying that anyone who says Turrents should put into consideration just how dumb it makes them sound.

    Sorry if I seem annoying, but no one said you had to read my opinion.

    Nobody said you had to read mine either.

    It doesn't make people sound dumb to me either, I know what they mean, the merit of their statements is not affected by the method by which they express themselves, as long as I can understand them clearly.

    there could be lvl1 speaking turrents that are very formal and polite to enemies within a small radius, up to lvl 3 ones which swear like a schoolchild and can shout half way across the map.

    I think turrents is likely to be a word more favoured by people who've played NS, since thats the first place I heard it becoming widely used.

    They should change the name each upgrade. Turret --> Turrent --> Torrent. A torrent of bullets sounds like something you don't want to mess with, and distinguishes it from lvl 1 speedbumps/tank-stuckers.
