<div class="IPBDescription">It's called RESOURCES!!!</div> AAAAAGGGH!! As the days progress, the marines seem to get dumber and dumber! I really hope that this is just an influx of newbies, and not an accurate representation of the marines as a whole. It now seems to me that the comm even has to shoot for some of the people here.

Allow me to explain, and tell you what this topic is about. I just got off of a game on a pub server with a severe headache. The comm and i were friends, and i knew that aside from occaisional forgetfulness, he was a great comm. Anyways, i called him up, and filled him in on what was going on for those of us without a bird's eye view. Fast forward a little, and we've just lost the hive we had a tentative hold on to, minutes later, we are starting to have fade problems with our lightly defended base.

We had gone from a high of 7 res a tick to 3 res a tick, and we were pretty much starving. Apparently though, there a are <i>some</i> NS players who seem to think the commander has some kind of bottomless swiss account. With about an average of 2 res ever 20 seconds, our team kept shouting for upgrades and expensive weapons to combat the enemies with, and that was a waste, because only about 2 people on our team could hit the broad side of an onos, and the comm was one of them.

I am here to reeducate the unwashed masses! Everything you beg of the comm costs resources, and when you don't have any res, don't be surprised when the comm doesn't give you anything, and don't huddle around the armory begging!

    Most of the members ARE newbs. The problem is that they do not learn and struggle to comprehend the most basic things.

    Actually there are very few people on this forumn that actually know what they are talking about.
    The rest are people who have no clue or didnt even bother to read the ns manual.

    I have seen a total of 3 threads worth reading and thats pretty sad.....

    Another note about the marines spamming for goodies. Some of the games that I have commed start out great but then because of some stupidity or what not we start losing. (not me!) They are fading our base and I am trying to same resources to get into the last hive when the spamming begins in earnest! Left and right hmg, ha, gn, mines, whatever! So, I say no I'm trying to save. The next thing I know they have voted me out! (How humiliating) Then one by one, they pop in and drop themselves things only to get right back out! I can't get back in and when they have exhausted our current supply of resources some idiot starts recyling stuff only to realize oh, you can't have ha without a prototype lab! It really irks me to see so many people losing sight of the team and not realizing that the game is not about personal gain but about working together to take out the alien scum! Its a shame that so many people who play act like this! Neways, thats my 2 cents.

    I love when were doing ok and they're asking for weapons and upgrades at the same time, i have 60 res or so.

    "Commander get me some gear, and get some upgrades"

    ?

    One or the other buddy. And its funny how they always ask for stuff when you don't get res and when you do, they don't talk.

    Personally, theres no such thing as a good marine until he/she has thorough experience commanding.
