    Aliens stockpiled enough res to repeatedly drop hives and get 3 onos on the field? Not sure why that's bullshit, annoying as hell but marines need to learn that they can't base trade and win.

    Well marines can base trade and win but they need to do the maths beforehand. I think people forget how many skills one really needs to be successful in this game...

    the hive placement where there is no infestation preventing a successful exo base rush make a marine win that is the bullshit i meant, if an alien commander knows this and doesnt want to lose he/she would do this as shown in the video.

    Ya... if they have 40 res per hive to drop and hope that their team can take out the marine base... You do know that marines can drop chairs anywhere that's empty for 15 res if they have a MAC there?

    They have to wait for the hive infesation to recede first, that delay generally causes them to lose a base trade rush.

    Do aliens still require infestation at a tech point for a hive drop?

    I see no issue... Marines lost complete map control, lost the EXO's, lost RT's. The aliens just lost two hive for a CC, while still having Onos and sitting on a pile of resources. When you're doing the EXO thing, you are going to need to lock down locations, instead of just moving on. Especially on a map with such long walking distances as Mineshaft... They could've dropped a Ghost CC after clearing up the Cysts, all part of locking down an area. But with no one to build it, dropping just the ghost structure is risky, but does prevent Hive from being placed.

    With unsupported EXO's you have no construction power out in the field. The Onos attack at repair didn't help the marines either. Aliens won this one fair and square and Galm needs to Calm down, pun intended :P


    Kalabalana, aliens don't need infestation for a Hive drop. That has been in the game for... Quite a long time now and was changed because aliens couldn't expand dynamically and were completely dependent on cyst chains for their main structure. Which was hugely in favour of marines, who do not require a powernode for their expansions CC for example and have no issues cutting down the none matured cysts.

    sorry, i dont see an issue in the video, marines didnt bother securing any "cleared" techpoints.
    they where practicly dead at the 20minute mark or so with only 2 bases and no extractors or anything on the rest of the map.
    their exo-push could have worked with a afk alien commander, but thats about it.

    Hey, I'm in that video! :D It's interesting to see the marine point of view in a game you played. I called the gg a little early at 21:33, thinking we had repair but I see they got their Arms Lab up.
    Gotta love Bladez and my vortex obs troll.

    it'd be dumb to require cysts to build a hive seriously dumb. Hive cost 40 Res Command chair 15 what is the difference between the two? one builds itself because it's an alien structure. i think it is fair if your commander wasn't smart enough to put down ghost command chairs in each base that is your teams lost no pun intended. don't base swap
