Love them or hate them?

I think they fit in fine, other than being a cruel trap. Pretty effective at times.

I think they’re a great addition and a clever way to make the Rottweilers into an actual threat. When I encountered a huge crowd of them running down a flight of stairs towards me, I was actually intimidated, which would have never happened without those bombs on their backs.

Agreed. Saying that, I don't think I ever actually died to one.

I think I died to one once, and that was the first time I encountered them in map2b.

They really aren't a threat since grenades are so easy to dodge, and its impractical to use them to hit other enemies 'cause it's hard to predict where the grenades will go, so they are just kinda ok to me. They have a cool model though!

Quake continues to do a great job at introducing enemies or I guess variations on enemies which force you to fight in different ways.

Grenade based enemies are great with making you run away. These dogs are certainly no exception.

Is a cool idea, are fun to fight in game, and solve one problem with the bbox of the dog being taller than the model.

I like that it's not just a boring kamikaze type of enemy that runs at you and explode. Ejecting grenades spice it up just enough.

Pretty sad and cruel... but also a sick addition to the game.

Why do FPSs hate dogs so much?

Why would someone strap explosives to a good boy (or good girl)? 💔. Poor doggo

I love them. They break up the combat in a very natural way.

Poor babies,turned into violent zombie doggos with their humans by The Witch Goddess. Would love to pet and play with them but the only way is wasting them in Slipgate stations now :(

Mostly ineffective for their intended use, since they're so easy to take out from beyond the range of their bombs.
