I'm still confused as to why people think Shouldermount is so good. No offense to shoulder, but he seems like an average top tier player.
I had no idea longevity = skill. I'm talking more about how every time the talk sways towards skill his name gets thrown around. It really is a legitimate question, and I only ask because I have played against him and on the same team with him many times. Granted, I have personally never had any intention of being well-liked by anyone, in the game or in the real world. I strive for respect, either via my words or if that fails, with my boot. Seems to work out ok for me. My enemies hate me and my friends respect me, and I'm happy as a clam. At least that way I know what side people are on.
Pretty much the best and most dangerous LSM player on the battlefield, even above BLOP, Shoulder can clear groups of enemies with virtually any weapon thrown in his hand. He is, essentially, an Eversor assassin.
Or in a cloud of nuclear fire when someone decides to nuke him from orbit because it's the only way to be sure. I mean, yeah, lots of other people will die in the explosion too, but they were going to die anyways.
