I remeber telling reno his pillboxes ate ass and would never work.

I was right.

I don't blame him for trying tho his hearts in the right place and he's a good boy who dindonuffin wrong. He just silly not a bad guy. Soy boy but sometimes you need one to meme on. Like memeing on Heinz.

Gives me an idea for a soy/dip related meme.

My favorite moments with Reno are honestly when he takes on the Command Role. While I know that we don't always win our matches (no one has a 100% win-rate, so don't feel bad about that), I do feel as though there is a somewhat higher level of RP when he decides to give the role a spin. I still distinctly remember a match on LV where the primary goal was securing the crashed ship across the river, and I particularly enjoyed the narrative that he was weaving at the time.

I'm also aware that he has a fairly consistent character, and while I know that he beats himself up a bit OOC, I actually enjoy the sense of remorse that he typically embodies in his character when its become apparent that the Marines are going to lose a match. He'll announce things to the group about how his own pride and honor and whatnot have led to the downfall of the group, and how apologetic he is about the matter. A great many CO's seem to care very little for their soldiers... myself included at times, and so it can be a healthy change to see the desperation of someone responsible for so many lost lives.

I also remember a time when Reno had donned a fireman's hat on Big Red, and he and I went throughout the Office Complex, clearing it out together despite the fact that there were only two of us. I'm pretty sure I got pretty badly wounded at some point by flaming, but it had actually saved my life, and we managed to kill a couple of bugs in the process with just the pair of us. It was pretty fun to do, and even though our focus was primarily on the action at hand, we still got to share little quips and statements that made the entire thing stick in my mind. Also, that Fireman's Hat was silly. :P

All in all, I know that a great many of the posts in this thread aren't entirely sincere, or at least are in remembrance of particularly negative circumstances, but I've found Reno to be a talented writer and combatant, and while everyone has their flaws, I genuinely do believe that he adds something to the game. At least for me, that is.

Well, with the recent nerf to girders, pillboxes are officially dead.

In fact, a lot of engineering ideas are dead. Which makes me sad...

Back to the drawling board to make more controversial and unusual designs.

Mine wasn't necessarily a Best moment in-game. But my most notable time with Reno was when we made an exchange of notes for the purpose of making a guide to become Commander and being a good commander as well.

In-game wise, it was when we had a moment in the Bravo medic prep, then we became the dynamic Medic duo, despite the fact I died early on.

Figured out the best moment in Reno is when he acts as a delta SL and I remove my headset.

Neat.
