Well. It was friday night. All the people who don't usually come on LM on the weekdays were on. We're talking Seth, Fatty and a couple sperm clan (O~) members. All of which stacked marines and gave absolutely no hope to the alien team. What could I say? Shun them for owning us, or bitch about skill stack? I did neither. I hit the disconnect button and climbed on another server to let my rage out on some of the newbies.
I climbed on the [C4] clan server. As usual with mid-caliber pubs, no one ever wants to comm. I reluctantly hopped in the chair to save myself from getting even MORE fustration from a nubcomm.
The game started out small. The map before it was a large combat game (with a 30 minute time limit...geez) so all the combat whores jetted off at the sight of a classic map.
I had 3 players initially.
1 that is about LM caliber in knowledge of the game and following orders. He was my field commander for most of the game (he often told me to do things like upgrading the armory and stuff. What was strange is that he did so about 10 seconds AFTER I do what he suggests.). Since i don't remember his name, I shall name him Jimmeh.
the second was your average pubber. He doesn't shoot great, but he gets the odd kill. He follows orders so I couldn't care less His name was 'X'
the third was an NSPlayer. Literally. That was his name. You could absolutely tell that he was a browse game noob. He didn't respond to text, voice, or waypoints. He jerked off most of the game, and whored my equipment.
The game started off. I told Jimmeh to stay in base to build, and the rest to get nodes. None of which, of course, were followed. Jimmeh DID build in base, and did help me out a little in terms of ordering around the scrublets (to no avail), but nothing got done. All of them felt compelled to stay in base and build the base. I started out with teh basic ip, armory, arms lab, and armor 1. X finally went off to get hera reception, and I gave Jimmeh 2 packs of mines for base.
X builds hera reception and dies. Jimmeh saves the node and heads to double.
about 2 minutes into the game, the aliens gather up the braincells to rush the hive. They kill all my marines, but fall to my mines. I racked up a good 20 res from that run.
Some more marines join in, i order them to cargo handling (where they get horrendeously owned the first two tries). All my marines were in double. I gave them the nodes while i tried to keep up with the arms lab upgrades. After the SECOND time they got owned in double, we finally got double. This was around 9 minutes into the game. I had an upgraded armory, w2, a2, two ips, and a base that was mined to HELL. I tried to make a proto lab, but noticed that i didn't have an obs (i had kinda given up on the game in the middle so i forgot about an obs). I got that up in a jiffy, got phase tech and locked double down with one elec'd node. I got heavies because i thought my team couldn't handle jps.
Co :: Phunk, a player that some of you might have seen on LM, joined. And in good time, too. He and Jimmeh and X made a decent team. Fades started popping up at around 10 minutes, i dropped hmgs. We killed about 4 fades (Co :: Phunk claiming 3 of those) while pushing into archiving. about 6 marines were in archiving, i thought it was pretty safe to get a phase there. I dropped a phase and a tfac for elec. I got the node down and thought i was doing pretty good. Hell I had every node but those in archiving and vent hive (i sent a rambo to cap the maintenance nodes a little earlier on). I ordered them in the hive, where they took down the hive in about 2 minutes. No beeping. I scanned the other hives. Datacore, the hive i was expecting to be up we compeltely clean. I scanned vent and lo and behold. It was up and running at the prestegous time of 13:30. I passed out jp shotties, researched catpacks, and sent them over there. Once they got a pg/tf up; I elec'd it, threw down a whole wad of catpacks, ammo, and meds, and told them to own it, which they did; promptly.
The reason I won? Quick upgrading, med spam, and utterly retarded aliens. They never held more than 2 res nodes at one time. I took the rest of the nodes, unchallenged. The only one they took down was hera reception, and the only node outside their hive that my team took down was the one outside Archiving. The rest were unelectrified and undefended. They chose the hive FARTHEST away from their current one to build, and built it at 12:00. These weren't bots because bots aren't this dumb, and they owned my marines until i could out tech them.
Sound like a good game? It was in the end. The parts I left out was the mass screaming and insulting that it took to get the marines to actually do things. I'm not comming on ANY server that isn't Lunixmonster. Ever.
