Just A Small Thing...

<div class="IPBDescription">Why do this?</div> This is just a short topic, but I want to rip out my hair when I see it happening. A marine team builds one ip, armory and then the comm equips everyone with shotguns. They rush the hive and destroy it. The marines are like, wow we're the greatest. What noone seems to realize is that as soon as the last alien dies, you go to the ready room and start all over again. why do comms do this? Any sugestions?

Because people enjoy winning, and shotguns are extremely fun to use. It's quite effective against an incompetant alien team.

ElvenThief

The comms do it because they can win the game. When you play online, everyone plays only by the rules set in the game. Cheapness abounds, as is quite obvious already with the marine game.
Just get a bit of teamwork, slaughter the guys with shotties (which may be tough, I know), and then hurt the marine's res flow and destroy their structures.
A shotty rush is quite effective if allowed to work. If you kill it, you've pretty much set the marines back and they'll have to work extra hard to counter the aliens due to the fact that their teching will be slowed. It's often alien game after that.

One can also ask why skulks bother rushing in the beginning because if they destroy the marines, it's back to the ready room, and if they get slaughtered, well, the aliens are ging to be spawn csmped.

NS = Team Game = Winning with the team = Kill your enemy = Fun

Winning as a team is much more fun than winning alone. Think about Quake for example, the only fun is fragging.
