1. Lynx. Think I started to like Lynx mostly because I was very young ( way too young for this violence 😄 ) when I first played JA and he was the only few mercs I was able to kill anyone. Then, when JA2 came out, Lynx was in my group from day one almost everytime (that Mini-14 and 99 MRK made me almost sad for the rest of the group). I also liked his quite serious personality and the drama with Buzz.
2. Snake. He was one of those cheaper mercs who could shoot decently. He was also really cool and no suprise he was friends with Ice. The sad thing here is that he was written out between Deadly Games and JA2, shot in the head. 😞
3. Thor. Funny looking and sounding guy who has all the traits to become your supersoldier.
But I think JA has never been only about which characters are the best and best fit into your team, but more about personalities. So, Hamous should make a comeback. Maybe he is actually selling ice cream this time?
And then there is the best character ever. He speaks with heavy accent, but no, its not Ivan, but Reuban! It may be a bit strange how he was able to serve in AIM after killing his family with a hedge trimmer, but finally before JA2 he was send back to his native Romania to serve a life sentence (x6). But maybe he finds out his "friends" need help and swims to Grand Chien. He could do that.
