Game starts...

Random guy grabs chair, and drops two IP's, an armory, a TF and then the rest of the starting res in turrents.

Then he hops out:

Randomguy: Who wants to comm?


Totally drives me insane!  :help:

oh yes, because if I see this I will aboos you! But, if nobody seems to want to comm, running over to the CC then dropping an ip then hopping out and asking who wants to comm is ok, since there isnt always someone who wants to comm playing, and if someone believes that they can comm well enough, theyll take over, even though they usually dont want to(done it before lolol).

Its better then the comm who gets in the comm chair in a small game, and goes afk.. meaning he cant be ejected, until the game gets bigger
That was not a fun game..

And I'd rather have someone do that if noone will comm to start with, so we don't loose right away

id rather have someone drop ONLY an ip and an armory rather than farm up the damn base to get the game started. Farming != Starting.

It was funny how later in the game he asked me this:
"want me to get more turrets?"
"no"
"why not?"
"because it's a waste of res, and don't jump in the comm chair at start and waste all our res on turrents"
"why not?"

...retard

Hell, just don't drop a turret factory in base in the first place.

It's a mighty waste of 50 res + whatever you electrify. Keeping the aliens off the nodes while pressuring the hive with highly upgraded marines is so much more effective then playing defensive and having marines with level 0 armor dieing all over the map.

Then after the aliens have promptly dealt with the marines, they should get fades to counter the elec RTs at about 4 minutes. Now you're stuck with no nodes, no upgrades, and it becomes a contest to see how long it takes for the aliens to lay waste to the marine base. Almost 3 out of 4 games are like that right now on LM, and it would be a bit more entertaining to see the marines win some.

If you have to defend base, drop 1 or 2 packs of mines.

Heard heard. Lots of times that tf never electrifies anyway. If you don't electrify it, you might as well do away with the bonsaibasing too. Oh, and one thing: A turret farm by every single node you control (as I saw one comm do it) doesn't really win you the game you know.

Too bad all the newbie comms we've been getting don't realize this. Gotta win the game by getting your 'rines out into the feild, cappin res nodes and being a threat to the aliens.

Man, I so didn't like it when I crashed on that game of Widow...  :angry:
