Rambo's

<div class="IPBDescription">We need less...</div> Something I've noticed while comming recently is that there are more and more rambo's that completely ignore your orders, waypoints, whatever the situation is. Upon beacon to phase rush a hive, an entire team can just wander off, somewhat pathetic. I don't know what is to explain for all the ramboing but people don't seem to understand that to win people need to move in teams.

    Actually, if the rambo is really good and you supply him constantly with medpacks and ammo, then all you need to do is count on him to spawn the aliens in, while the rest of the team gets the rts around the map.

    yeah, one well placed rambo can be a key distraction, not to mention if you can have the whole team be coordinated, rambo can go over and set up that PG near the other hive while the aliens are dealing with the team, or he/she/it can go around and kill nodes and get the economy good. However when to many people rambo, then it becomes a problem. For one they should be going in groups of 2 <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    so long as they rambo in the right direction, its useful.. hate people who run the same way as the others but slightly further from the alien hive just putting themselves in the middle of nowhere (nodes already capped) its like.. Grrr.

    This isn't a flame thread

    Anyway. I have used rambos on suicide missions to make as much noise and try to make it look like a seige is hitting a hive before, but when people just scatter and ignore orders, it seems like they play combat and have no idea what orders are...

    rambo makes a perfect unit aslong as he gets NOTHING. Expet for maybe a ocational medpack or ammopack.

    Rambo's are a good thing.

    Hear me out, rambo's can be a very good thing if:

    1) they're pretty good

    2) do something useful eg hive pressure / node pressure

    3) are given medpacks and ammo as required

    Rambo's are a double edged sword, they can be a godsend and a pub teams saviour, or a default loss.

    Most people seem to confuse rambo's with people who jsut ignore orders, this is just ignorance. Most 'rambos' on pubs are simply pubbers who ignore orders and do what they want, that is just a lame player, a real rambo is typically a clan player, has a fairly high skill level as opposed to the alien team, and actually knows what he's doing (eg lmg down nodes when close to the hive, knife nodes out of the way).

    Rambos... Ninjas... there is a difference.

    Well when you have 5/6 of your team being rambos, moving independantly, with various equipment, (and your the 6th person on the team)... all is lost

    This is the end of this conversation... Its dead on.

    Go download some demo's of good ns clans. You will see 2 types of marines. Pressure marines and capping marines. Its not constant throughout the game, but usually, you will always have one guy working the far side of the map, recapping nodes (or on aliens, chomping them)

    Or alternatively you could practice, join a good clan, and have a better understanding of what we're talking about aswell as contributing to the currently declining NS clan scene.
