Argh, now hearing that, I feel that I need to work on better comming in order to justify my slottage. I just need better skills for yelling at people, I suppose. Whenever I jump in the chair it seems my whole team decides to rambo off. I think more shouting would fix this.
you don't NEED to be a good comm for a slot, a nice, friendly, team work oriented person is just as good :)

but since good games kinda hinge on a decent comm, good comms are given the nod, usually.

Thanks fatty, your the best rambo.  <3

BOB: I have a voice com(Plantronics headset), trust me, you dont wanna hear me get mad or yell.

I like Holy_Devil hes good. Seth is okay but loses alot of his games, he starts _really_ good then gets owned in the end. Owl is okay/good.

CRACK: I demand to hear you screaming your viscious insults at me next time you comm! "You can't take down four skulks with your pistol? YOU STUPID NUB!" sounds so much better when screamed instead of typed. Also, it frees you up to do other commworthy things instead of typing.

Although I really got the giggles from you giving us continuous waypoints two feet from each other on lost earlier today. Go here. Now here. Now here. I couldn't tell you were annoyed at all.....

I have to say crack as one of the best comms ever. He turned a 100% hopeless situation into a white-knuckle victory that would've probably given a lesser man a stroke in the comm chair. Lack of voice is not always a bad thing:

1) You can't flub words in text chat, or have static and people can't hear you. (Did you say 'Fade' or 'Phase'?)

2) Text chat stays on the screen longer.

3) Text chat doesn't get drowned out by spamming voices on the comm.

4) Text chat is more noticable.

Throughout the entire game, though, I never had a communication problem with voice and text.

Ok, apparently, I suck at comming.

It might be jsut because I've been tired the last few days, or nub marines/vet stacks, but I need to get whipped into shape comm-wise.

If any of you are marining under me, fell free to whine and moan when I do soemthing stupid.

Just keep trying. If you've been better at it before, chances are you just need a little practice to get back in shape. It's not exactly like anybody expects you to win the game for them, so don't feel bad if you lose a few. Iirc, the losses under you have been pretty close games, so there's no reason to give up just yet. LM can always use another good comm, and you seem to have it in you.

I like fatty, NiteOwl, and a few others. I enjoy when crack is playing, whether comm or marine, he listens. Holy_Devil.... well, he's good, but I'll get him one day.. (I dunno if he looks at this forum, but I'll send him here to gloat on his skills). HD is a great comm, marine, alien, whatever, he's just good, period. AND HE DOESN'T HACK!! I haven't had as many comms as I usually try to myself, but I must experience CWAG.

Oh yeah, and I just joined the forums, hello all!

I'd say my all stars are as follows:

lolfighter
agentorange
leaderz0rz


 ;)

Anyway, commanding is a hard and dirty business that I'd rather stay away from now as far as public servers go.  Crack annoys me sometimes ("Good job Goldfish, you gave away my position.  Good job Goldfish, I hope you die.  Good job Goldfish, you smell bad. Blah blah blah blah blah")  Holy_Devil is a delightful fellow, but I'm not sure I've experienced his commanding.  Legionairred does just fine, but no comm can ever win when I'm one of their men.  Just that kind of jynx..  ;)  Uh..who else do I feel the need to address.  TheChuckster needs to shut the hell up if he manages to win a game when his entire team is regs... but I will say that he's getting better as far as commanding goes.  Chuckster- LISTEN TO YOUR SOLDIERS MORE.  And learn to use hotkeys with the medpacks, please.  Fatty is delicious, like a good steak.

Bob and Rad are good marines... but.. how come I don't recall being a soldier under either of them.  Bad memory, probably.  Anyways, peace out cub scouts.

I've been busy with 3.0 and my clan now, and especially since we got this nice new server I've been a little sidetracked. I will ALWAYS be around for regular nights however. That I promise. Nothing short of a family death will keep me from it.

My comm style generally involves no turret factories at all. Instead of a TF I place mines and an arms lab down immediatly. Depending on how well we are pressuring the hive, I work on getting phasegates or possibly tech up to JPs if they have 1 hive and HA if they have 2.

Electricity is a waste of res when you have upgrades and are able to succesfully pressure the hive. I'll show you guys sometime when I get unbanned.  :(
