Good points, people. I agree that every squad needs a heavy weapons specialist, but in this squad it shouldn't be fastest and strongest one. Emile should've been the guy with the turret, as he doesn't really have any "stereotypic" role in the squad, like the sniper, the leader, the tech chick and the heavy weapons guy. He seems to be somekind of an explosives expert by all the grenades and charges he carry around and his use of the rocket launcher on ONI: Sword Base. Kinda like Alias from Red Faction 2, if anyone ever played that game. But apart from the ending sequence of the second campaign level and the scene where he uses the grenade launcher, he is always using the shotgun - and all those eplosive guns and launchers and what-not should basically be covered by Jorge's heavy weapons speciality.. Perhaps a slightly smaller chaingun would be more appropriate since he's a SIII, tho.
A better analogy would be Alec from Red Faction: Guerilla. He's cooler, has a permit for those explosives, and is in a game that almost everyone has played.
