Worst Soldier You Have Ever Had?

Fragems · 04-24-2012, 11:16 PM

Thought it would be interesting to hear the stories some people had.

So far the worst soldier ive had was named Marcus Ilsaviski(or something like that :P). Guy kept going berserk, getting controlled by aliens, or panicking. He spent maybe 3 out of 20 rounds under my control :X. During that time he managed to rack up a total of 5 friendly agent kills and 4 civilian kills. Luckily he dropped his gun after panicking a few rounds in. When he finally came back under my control near the end of the match i just had him run to the opposite end of the map where he couldn't possibly do any harm. After returning to base I sacked the first soldier i have ever had to.

I would have made him a medic, stunrod wielder and point man... xD
No armour ever.

He'd be dead soon enough...

my worst was some guy i never remembered the name of, by far the shortest career, takes one step out of drop ship, and is instantly killed by alien reaction fire. usually rookies at least get to touch the grass.

also, about that mind controlled guy, just give him some silly weapon and send him out in front of everyone else, don't kill him because he shouldn't be doing any damage, and he keeps the aliens occupied with that guy being mind controlled. maybe give him a mind probe and a medi-kit.

Using XUtil, I've tagged all my low psi strength soldiers and give them the medical kit in their hands when the game starts. I find it saves on morale as well, as my soldiers don't have to kill their squad mates.

They also carry an unloaded gun, with clips on their belts, as psi-controlled soldiers never seem to reload, but they will pick up guns if they find them.

As for my worst, I have (or had, not sure if he's still alive) one soldier in my current game with 10 bravery, 20 strength and 10 psi strength. He's essentially useless, but I kept him out of sheer morbid curiosity if he'd survive the first mission. Amazingly, he did - although as I say, his long-term prospects were never great...

Worst, I guess, was when one guy reflex shot a Large missile, hit the bush right in front of him and kill himself and about 5 others...

I don't know if he was the worst, but I recently had a rookie soldier with the standard rifle wildly miss and shoot and kill two of his teammates in the back of the head, then was promptly shot by plasma blast.
