    i dont think cloaked 100% will matter. MC just has too many positives. Teleport to hive, early silence adren for spore spam. sc is nerfed once they get a1 and an obs and dcs are just silly, u can do cara skulk rush, and yea mc is the best

    The reason sensory first stopped being good:

    They changed scan so it's 7 uses per obs. Rediculous. Back in the old scanning ways, sensory first could still work, but now a good comm removes the biggest advantage of sensory first 100% of the time with just one (two is generally overkill) obs.

    That's not how to balance a game... either the aliens are cloaked and invincible or the marines have too much anti-cloak power.

    How is anyone supposed to balance that? Remove the obs and sensory first would rock... but as it stands the price drop of the obs and cheapness of scan makes sens first unviable again.

    in pubs, its very poor
    clans, if the team is organized and coordinated enough it can be best. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    If it's the best for clans, then why is everybody still going MC first? All it takes is a couple of pings and welders and the marines are already inside the second hive. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    First, as yoda said, you have to be very organized and coordinated. It's hard to do that.

    Second, i think it's a pro-con thing. There are pro's and con's to each chamber, and most people just prefer mc since they don't want to take the risk of sc.
