General / Don't You Just Love Those Teamwork Games?

« on: June 01, 2004, 11:31:34 PM »

Following orders is always a good thing.  But we have all been scrubs at one point and didnt follow orders or have had a bad day and just plain want to blow things away with large weapons with large bullets that spray out uncontrollably killing everything within your 180 degree field of view. To only continue on your lone journey blasting away to alleviate some stress or what not. Then somehow the team loses and you blame comm and the rest of the team for not following your path of complete destruction and mayhem.
also sometimes i've noticed that players concede the game too early or start goofing off too soon. Even if the Marines have 0 rts you shouldnt just let them stay in a corner and own the 2 players actually trying to end the game. Or vice versa giving up when the opposing team has captured all rts or what not.

But then again its just a game....

General / Stupidest Things You've Seen Comms Do

« on: June 01, 2004, 11:19:06 PM »

1. I've sieged one hive that was not there before..i always ping before i start dropping such things now. Mostly because i was flamed horribly for it.

2. comms that continually bark orders and flame marines when they dont follow them. Asking is one thing, telling is another, barking is too much, and then flaming people who dont/cant follow them for whatever reasons is just uncivilized and rude(imo).

3. On tanith i told my marines to get to cargo while i knew the main hive was fusion...i rushed pgs and they put up quite a fight for it but eventually lost it and we lost the game, never got a tf up due to all the action.

4. Comms that blame marines for the loss.  I take every lost game that i commed as my loss and blame myself for the majority of its downfall.  I was on tantih and placed a wp on the wall that blows up to siege sat comm and the rines tried to weld it instead of the weldable.  Not the rines fault but mine for not taking to time to give the waypoint in the correct spot the first time. I apologize to those marines. Avoiding the blame game if at all possible whenever possible tho.



If you have recently asked me what the plan is while i was comming and i said "Capturing strategic locations and holding them until we get in position to siege a hive"
Thats the short generic version to save time.  When i first started comming i gave them my entire starting plan and it might have worked once if i got lucky. Plus if they change teams its like BAM brick wall. Marines are strictly on a NEED TO KNOW BASIS. jk
