Marine Insults!

Your marine Is nothing short of a Badass.

He will never die as his corpse is simply recycled.
He can handle any alien provided he has the experience to do so.
He can use any weapon provided he has the money to buy some.
And he is humanities first and final line of defense against the Kharaa.
He is a marine. And he is awesome.

However...
He what he says is rather...Lame. Making him Taunt an alien by pressing T... Just makes me Cringe in me trying to COMPREHEND in HOW any of the nonsense he just spoke is INSULTING!
"My shrink says I need an Outlet for my aggression"
"Oh man! Just lost my Appetite!"
"Don't see that everyday. Thank god..."

Now I understand that all a marine needs to get into the alien fight would be a rifle, a spandex suit, Plastic pieces, and enough testosterone to make you act like rambo so Intelligence in combat is on the side of things...

But come on...This is Insulting yourselves! Not to mention that Aliens don't really say anything back besides Hiss at you so you might as well be talking to a mirror...

But the point is this thread is to come up with BETTER Marine insults.
they probably won't be added in the game, but hey! A little creativity wouldn't hurt.
What would you like your marine to say against the Kharra?

    Are these the awesome marines you are talking about?


    To me they seem to be less rambo, more another day in the office getting stuff done. "My shrink says I need an outlet for my aggression" fits that great.

    I now want to play ns2 while listening to that "working overtime" song.

    yes, when in the goddamn am i going to hear 'kill them all, it's the only way to be sure'? apparently part of the shadow pack, but i've never heard it uttered once

    i've had to resort exclusively to voice chat trash talk now, but that's where my golden tongue really thrives

    It's female marine only taunt. could that be why you've not heard it? I get it plenty.

    OP - Frankly "My shrink says I need an Outlet for my aggression" is one of the coolest taunts from any game ever IMO.

    The females marines shouting "BITCHSLAPPED" is also awesome, especially when you get it after a rifle butt kill :D
    ^^^^ Would be cool if specific taunts were able to be triggered (or have a higher chance of being triggered) in such a way rather than being totally random.

    So the vastly superior sarcastic remarks they utter right now aren't good enough? What exactly do you want them to say, "though guy" obscenities or something? It's quite hard to not make those sound corny though...

    I would love to Shout "Varlet", "slubberdegullion" at dead skulks.
    Or maybe Peasant.

    the taunts are from NS1 (most if not all of them). Read the story with my guide (see sig) to see how they can be appropriate to the NS universe.

    You must not play as female marine, because they are all pretty awesome.

    Speaking about marine female taunt, I think there is maybe a problem with the "kill them all, it's the only way to be sure" taunt. 'Cause yesterday i was in the rdy room with 2 friends, and apparently every time my marine was saying the "exclusive" taunt for me, they were hearing a different one, but never this particular one

    @Armymonger A lot of the taunts are references to some classic movies. Going by your posts I would assume you're very young and into military role play. I doubt you'll find many people willing to play along.
  • Warforce17Warforce17 Join Date: 2013-09-12 Member: 188154Members
    If I want Marine insults I higher the volume of the voice chat in game when showing my awesome marine comm skills (meaning I drop you med pack graves).
    I am still astonished by the creativity people showcase when angered. :)

    I suppose I would say the fact I find these Taunts corny than intimidating would explain that yeah.
    Would you explain the references?

    I do not actually. but the few Ive heard don't fare much better to me.


    Anyway, I just feel the insults aren't really directed much to aliens.
    They feel more...I don't know... better for insulting other humans.
    "How did I get to be so good?"
    Feels like it was bragging more than anything to another human soldier.

    Think of it like this.
    If I was alone in a hallway and there are Aliens hidden among the Vents and corners of walls...
    Would I really say that in that situation?
    I would seem like an insane guy if I say such things alone, but as others said, its a matter of preference and getting the reference.

    Well, its not like Im totally Ranting for Unknown worlds to change them, Which they won't obviously (waste of resources and time)

    Im just expressing my own view on Marine insults.
    if someone else, Like yourself, Enjoys the current snappy one liners, then kudos to you. You find them good, I find them awkward.
    We can at least keep this civil i'm sure.

    Pretty much all of the male marine taunts are the exact same as ns1... that's the origin. It'd be cool to revoice it or change a couple. I don't think they need to be intimidating - it's just a taunt for lawlz... I always hate getting killed and hear that skulk chuckle...

    Much more civilised than banhammers, you can Lightly cook people, or INCINERATE THEM.



    We bought them from Kane
