Engineers should have an option to put silencers on there turrets for reduced dmg. I think this is one the main problems with the turrets in Brink they show up on map for anyone to see clear as day. They should allow Engineers the option to sacrifice some dmg in order to help conceal there locations better.

Either that or make it where they do not show up on map unless spotted by an Operative on the other team. This would give Operatives another useful thing to do as well as giving turrets a little more concealment so they are not blasted to kingdom kong right of the bat. I know there have been numerous times where I have had turrets placed very well but were taken out because of the stupid mini map.

Anyways I'm sure I will get flamed for this because everyone is scared and quick to shout turrets are OP but I will ask for everyone's thoughts anyways.

Turrets do pathetic damage as-is, and anyone who claims they're overpowered has probably never even tried to play engineer =/

I actually like this idea! It bugs me knowing that my turret is visible to everyone and everything, but I disagree on the silencer part. It would make much more sense for an OP to come up and camouflage it so it can't be seen on radar. There's a perk idea, SD and Bethesda!

sounds fair to me......and it adds another perk for engineer and a tactic for the operative to counter it.

although alot of people dont check the mini-map , anything that expand game tactics is good to me.

I'd rather the second option.

It would be nice for it to be more responsive too.
