wow swift. i feel for ya, i've commed games where my rines dont listen either, it's very frustrating.
question: by the looks of it, u had a team without any regs on it.. were there any? just to clarify
anyway, u tried ur best, and made all the right calls as comm, so don't get annoyed over it, your team let u down, not the other way around
it sounds like maybe i should've joined this game lol, maybe you woulda had something.. if u have even one reg on u can ask him/her to order the marines to follow them, i'm usually good at that :p
anyway, if they're not listening to u, best bet is to use ur mic, and dont scream but raise ur voice and be stern, and tell them you will keep beaconining until they move in a group somewhere, because it seems u had the res
they have no right to say that u lost the game for them, because if they did, just tell them what u've done and how close you are to winning if they will only freaking follow their orders, it sometimes puts the game into perspective for them.
by the looks of it i assume u had a 2-hive lockdown, since sensories were the only chamber listed, and at 1 hive, sens are useless against HA/HMG rushes
should've just beaconed and said something like
look, we have both hives, we have most of the map, we're on the verge of winning this game if you guys would just get together and rush that last damn hive, we don't need any ninja PGs because we're already knocking on their door, we just need to RUSH with our HA AS A GROUP. If you guys won't, i'll keep beaconing. you want to eject me, go ahead and lose the game yourselves, or march in together and win.
something like that. anyway hope this never happens again, but there will always be idiots v_v

No I couldn't get any hives locked down, between sensory and the fact that all my marines were rambos I couldn't get any of them in a hive long enough to build structures. It doesn't change the fact however that the aliens at one point in the game had 6 full equipped HA to contend with, and thier fades and onos would all have had to choose between celerity OR regeneration/carapasc, so my marines should have had no problem taking down at least one hive and lots of high eves if they had stuck together. The counter to sensory first is obs, lots of pings, and then tech as fast as you can. You need to beat the aliens in tech because by choosing a strong early game, they have chosen to suck it up and have a weak late game. A sense first team who has let the marines get heavy armor should lose the game.
yeah theres nothing worse than having a backseat com :)

I think I'd put backseat drivers before it.
