Our top priority IMO should be getting a boom shield on the ramp in the house. I don't know if bloodmounts can kick them down, but boomers/grinders/maulers can't, and if a mauler gets stuck on the shield, nothing else will be able to kick it down. So if we set up the shield and leave a mauler stuck on it, we can pick everything else off at our leisure. I don't mean have a guy hold the shield, I mean place it down, that way an ink grenade won't kill us. I easily beat the levels I didn't play with you guys with this strat.
only problem is that forces us to live upstairs when the rush is on. with the grinders/boomers/grenadiers outside, it's nearly impossible to stay in the open up top and stand any chance. the bloodmounts will leap the shield and force everyone up into the corner for the slaughter.
Not dissing the idea, I just think we're in a situation more hinging on luck now.
I do think that the mortar is still critical to success.
Can the bloodmounts jump over the shield? Damn. I was thinking one person hide behind the shield, two behind the columns, and two near the window at the top to pick off guys coming from the other side.
