Just got done with a marathon game as marine comm.
We started out with a comm (Admin), 2 newbs (they admitted as much and asked for help, so it's not name-calling) and p00k and myself.

First off, big congrats to the newbs for asking for help and actually paying attention to solutions offered. They both did a great job.

Anyway, Admin switched out of comm (said he'd been doing comm a lot lately and it DOES get old after a while). I sent admin and p00k off to secure a hive along with "Help Me" (I think that was his name) and had the other dude (Vash?) stay at base to def.

Now, I'm not the best comm (don't even have a mic) but I do OK and we really needed one. My marines followed orders most of the time, didn't complain too much, and blew stuff up pretty well when given weapons.

As the game went on, we got more players and they yelled for stuff for a few minutes, then suddenly they turned into good team players--moving together and being useful etc.

We had some very close calls and only through some vent and ledge siegeing were we finally able to win, but oooh what a game. (It's 5:00 AM here now, and I'm tired as can be now.)

Anyway, just a tribute to good marines (old thread disappeared?) and thanks to the poor aliens we sloooowly crushed. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Oh - and "Admin". Sorry I didn't give you more equipment. I meant to. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Its good that you had teamwork but it makes me wonder what the aliens where doing this whole time.

    I believe the aliens had their share of inexperienced players also. It was much longer then I expected before we began to see fades and by the time we saw them, we were starting to get our act together. However, it was a very close game at that point.

    Had the alien team acted better sooner it might have been a quicker game.

    One *NS PRO* with a lmg and a jet pack once took out a hive, and the stupid aliens thought he was inside the hive. And oh, I think he used the welder, its quiet

    the jetpack lmg combo is deadly when used in good hands. It is severely underestimated. Hives die very easily if you get jetpacks fast early into the game. Since the skulks find it hard to hit you when you are mobile in the air.

    hmmmmmmm was it 4v4 or 5v5?
    i find it easy with less players but more boring-such big maps with so little people.
    Just saying the harder it gets with more i rekon, because twice as many requests and people to led into battle.
