Kharaa Cannot Stop Marine Ha/gl/welder Rush

JRock · February 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">which can be done WAY before hive #2.</div> This is ridiculous and is clearly the next thing that needs to be fixed.

Just played a game where it was proven to all in attendance that Marines can outfit 5 Marines with HA/welders and another with HA/GL long before a 2nd hive is completed for the aliens, and they slowly walk in a group to a hive while everyone welds each other and any skulks that try to attack, and the Comm drops health on them.

Hopefully 1.05 will be released soon and will fix this, perhaps by making the welder deal NO DAMAGE to alien creatures. At least that would be a start towards fixing this. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'>

did they have 5 resource nodes? How many nodes did you guys control? It's hard to keep a force like that together for long, and usually someone dies before they get to a hive, you just have to work together (and by together I mean EVERYONE)

as for the welder, the nerf is VERY noticable IMO

Aliens have to constantly harass RTs, if they dont do that, then they deserve to get murdered by HA/HMG HA/GL

It was Eclipse. They had maybe 3-4 nodes. They had Eclipse node, Triad, the one in their base, and the one in the center area whatever it's called. They did not have Horseshoe or any other nodes. near CC or Maint.

The welder is noticeably the best thing to use when you have a group of HAs because everyone using welders EASILY heals all armor damage plus kills anyone trying to bite you. Plus on top of that the Comm drops health when needed. It's literally unstoppable.

JRock, Eclipse has 7 nodes on it. They capped 4 of the 7. They controlled more than half of the resources on the map. With a decent sized server you make two res a tick per node and one res a tick for having ur CC. so...

60 res per HA/HMG/Welder Marine / 9 res a tick. That's like 6 ticks per heavy armor marine. They pounded you <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

JRock, you freaking reject, that was perfectly legitimate. WE HAD ALL OF THE NODES ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE MAP, AND WITHOUT THEM, WE COULDN'T HAVE POSSIBLY FIELDED ALL THAT HA. Not only that, but out main base as attacked ONCE. ONLY ONCE. And 75% of the time it was completely empty.

Next time freaking think before complaining.

(for those confused I was the commander during the game jrock is talking about)

Just because you lose doesn't mean there's something wrong with the games, it can however mean (like in this case) that you suck. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

LOL!!!! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

I didn't say it was cheating, just that it's utterly unstoppable, which it is.

unstoppable? maybe. preventable? easily.

kill em while theyre weak you silly skulk. if you had a decent gorge on those 4 res towers youd have three hives in no time and the marines would be whining that onos versus LMG is unfair.

Question · February 2003

You let them get 4 RTs?!
