<div class="IPBDescription">marines need to rush you know</div> This doesn't apply to all people, and this is mainly me on a rant again, but i figured i'd say it anyway. I am fed up with watching an entire marine team rush to the hive, then wait outside the hive room while they get slowly picked off by aliens, only to do it again and again, until the time runs out and they all shout "WTH!?!??oeneleven".
Every combat game i play now ends up with marines getting owned because none of them can figure out that they need to take the hive down to win, because there's a time limit now. If you run to the hive and wait outside for WHATEVER reason, you acomplish nothing at all. If you rush to the hive, run in, and only get 3 bullets into the hive, you've acomplished much more than getting 3 bullets into a fade before he kills you. Which brings me to my next point.
If you're in the hive, shoot the hive. I've seen 4 marines chasing one skulk around and using all their ammo too many times. You die, you respawn. Killing a skulk gets nothing done, but getting a clip into the hive is one step closer to winning the game.
I actually do this, so i'm not just on a rant here. If i can see the hive, i use all my ammo on it or shoot it till i'm dead. There's no real point in killing spawning aliens because it just ends up being a cycle of killing them, and never actually shooting the hive. Only real time to kill aliens is defending the CC, or actually getting to the hive.
Anyway, just my opinion. Which makes it the right one, because it's mine. eahehahehaheahea!

Marines sitting outside the hive doing nothing is wonderful....

Not that I care too much. CO can rot in hell for all I care.
my main comm strategy involves hive rushes.... Nothing like 9 lvl 3 lmg's bashin a hive down long before movement chambers can be of any use (like one clip per person)
Trouble is... no matter how many times i say shoot the hive only... i get 3 smart people who do it.... while there are everyone else who shoots the res node... the o chambers, the d chambers... and the onos...
TAKE OUT THE HIVE LIKE I SAID.....
nothing like taking out a hive... phasing 3/4 of ur surviving team back out, rushing another hive location... and bringing it from 3 hives down to 1 hive in less than 2 minutes...(did this twice when my team actually listened)

9 clips of 50, that's 450 bullets, level 3 damage, that's 5850 damage... add in some pistol clips and there's the hive dead. Though I agree shotguns would have made it all easier...
