Man, I am just coming back from one of the most awesome sessions in NS I have yet experienced! We cut through them like a welder through softice <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
It was so bad many Alien players left prematurely, so the last quarter of the game was uneven... well you get the point!
First time I really saw a CO who emphasized speed and PUSH PUSH PUSH over base building and fortifying...
He didnt even use a mike!! He always knew where we were at, ALWAYS, and guided us over the map so well we never got lost. I remember calling for ammo one or two times, it just wasn't necessary.

Ok Thread issue, I thought it would be useful to have a list of COs that seem to be, or are capable. Not to hype them, but to have kind of a chart so players, may they be on the same server, have an impression on the person in lead.

Here it goes:

    I would say I play as an Alien more than I do as a marine, so maybe I dont have as much experience with commanders as a lot of people, but the best commander I have had was this guy named <b>Tomodachi</b>

    He was excellent. Whever I needed help and asked for health or ammo, I dont think it would even be 1/3 of a second before he would respond to the requests (and that was when he didnt give me the things I needed <i>without</i> me asking). We did lose the round, but I think it was due to the rest of our team, and not him.

    Anyways, yea thats my nomination for best command. Good job Tomodachi! (BTW he is in a clan, but I forgot their tag. sorry)

    I've had the pleasure of having him command two of the rare marine games I get to play. Both times he was quite articulate in what he wanted done, where and why. He directed people through voice chat, explained calmly what was going on, was always on the ball with equipment and was more than willing to listen to suggestions. Best of all he watches his grunts and gives them a heads up on the baddies around them, esp. those coming up from behind. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Kasey, for his awesome base design. His constant motivation. his ability to keep the group together and to lay out extentsive strategies. He was johnny on the spot with the ammo and the health, and we just did not fall, and when we did we were waypointed right away back to the action.

    Hey greydmiyu

    Thanks for the support <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Being comm can be really stressfull. You have to assume in pubs that only 50% of your team is going to actually do what you want them to, and you can't really get upset if you have newbies on your team (it happens), or guys that don't follow orders. You have to compromise and kind of work with the situation. So I think pub comming is all about being nice to your team and trying to use the power of suggestion to get them to go where you want them to <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The only thing that really bothers me is when people ask for grenade lauchers 3 minutes into the game <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Ewa -- what about people who constantly try to get ammo from an upgrading armory and then whine about how the armory is broken <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I had a guy last night demand that I place a new, regular armory so he could get ammo RIGHT THIS INSTANT!

    What he said. I appreciate your enthusiasm for wanting to help out the community by thanking good commanders, but please try to make things a bit easier for us moderators by just checking to see if someone else posted the same thread idea as you.
