well i assume taht by  the choke thingie you mean is net_graph. it coves in varisou flavors i find the most  helpfull to be net_graph 3. as it contains nice numbers instead of a graph as in net graph 2.

Another thing i have found usefull is the command cl_showerror 1. it will show the number of units differnce between what your client  displayed  and where the server  actually  thinks an object/player is. Please note: this will cover the kill megsaages and only display as you attack in most cases, though some times it simply won't display.

Edit:



also i just saw that my fps suck:(

I have to credit nooblet. Though, his valient attempt to give the marines a safer more positive working environment was only a partial success.



Also, props to cr4zyd for his assistance in the creation of the above hilarity.

i dont think it is quite as bad as you all seem to think. The marine game has changed. the days of ninja phase gates to hives are over.  


Now, the game is all about map control.  

the marines need to realize that instead of the old way on teching up and falling back, one has to cordon off map sectons and fortify them.  A single alien chomping rts can is a problem as the aliens all climb the tech tree faster now and with out rts teh marines are getting out teched. The marines on the ground need to be aware of this. The single skulk who has gotten past the blockade can cause havok just like a crazed horde of mongols.

unless the marines can achieve rapid decisive victory they have to contain the aliens ability to tech. Instead of laughing as the fades own rts the marines need to realize that the only way to achieve parity is to take alien rts down and the ge theirs up.

if you loose a game try to figure out what went wrong.

Even with the skulk problems i alluded to in my previous post, the marines still are expanding during the early game. nodes are being capped and the tech tree is being climbed.  The marines take a hive or two and then they are rolled back.  

the alines genrally do this with seeming ease. However, the alien team is very vulneralbe during this period. many games are decided during this window between 3 and 7 minutes.

my expericen is that during this time the teams that ultimately lose are inactive.  they take a low agresssion approach  and try to hold and tech. the problem is that the weak links in their defenses are found and exploited.

this is teh time the fades are coming out, the second hive is going down and the first hmgs  are entering play. the marines need to use their advantage in firepower to prevent the first two.  nodes, hives, and alien players need to die during this time. this is the single most important period in the game. if the marines can continue agressively the game is theirs.

as tehy say the best defense is a good offense. remember that.

and now a shower, i smell like a bagel.

I have a question: What happened to marines being able to kill skulks?

I know its possible. It is exceedingly frustrating to lose a hive with 3 marines, a tf, and 2 turrets to a single skulk.

I recognize that new cloaking makes aliens harder to see. I recognize that focus makes things harder. at teh same time I'm sick of seeing groups of mairnes die to single skulks.   Even single marines to one skulk is bad enough.

Guys, if you cant hit the skulks check your configs. By default, your rates have been reset. Fix them.  For my freaking sanity. Please.

That's my biggest problem.


Secondly, when they get sensory, don't wander off. Pver.  Period.
SOF is everywhere. The aliens arent as dumb as rocks you wandering the level are the freaking neon "eat at joe's"  sign.  Also, your team is now down one guy ina critical area.  

Finally, use your motion tracking, your calls and your brain . The comm is now in anutter panic the entire game. He has to be in 35 places at once. Try to give him as much help as you can.
