Lost Becuse Of No Teamplay!

Diablo_fx · March 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Title</div> I was playing as comm for marines today and we were winning had both hives locked down with turret and pg. lots of res then i bought my team HMG and HA and told them to team up (100 times). but they didnt and lost everything!. then some lerks took out the PG in one of the hives and we lost that hive and 2 res nodes. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>
Then due to fades we lost the second hive, and we sure lost the game too.

The points is that i bought them HMG, HA, MT, 2 weap and 2 armor upgrades.
And we loose becuse of some "dumb" players who didnt team up! ( i told em 100 times)
We were so close winning and they scrwed it up.

Now they blaming me for didnt secure hives and all that **** <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

BTW the greatest noob was some guy called "ghost" who messed it up and blaimed me ALOT after we lost.

I think this is the reason why marines loose to often.

Welcome to public servers.

This happens quite frequently unless the regulars are there. If I jump on and see no regs, I usually just leave and play BF1942...

Find a server with good regs and you should have some good teamwork going.
There was a post about it in the genral forums; do a search and you should be able to find it.

It's surprising you managed to get that far as to get two hives with such an uncooperative team.

From experience, I've found that even if the team is uncooperative, they'll still build stuff for you. So if you wanted to keep them together you should have made them turret and PG crawl all the way to the final hive.

lol!

Yesterday i was playing as alien and the marines locked both hives up, when we could just look.
They took our hive down after a lot of fight and we thought we were dead BUT our goef suvived with defs tows and brought our hive back online.
Then we got the 2nd hive and boom the marines were dead!

The points is that they had no team play when they got JP and HMGs. they just flow away and die, begging for more...

I've had this happen to me alot too. Its hard to work with people you don't know and who don't obey you. Its really sad when your team doesn't listen.

I saw the ultimate in Marine teamplay (and stupid map features) yesterday playing Hera. I was playing alien and we rushed the marine start point and decimated it, so they relocated to Processing. They defended that with every single person and kept us at bay with coordinated attacks until the dreaded SIEGE came up <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>. They prevented us from getting two hives with their sieges from processing and owned us.

The real win, though, came not from their sieging (although that DID prevent us from upgrading. It's a HORRID map feature to be able to reach two hives from one place, and should really be changed), but from their coordination. ALL their attacks were coordinated. There were no long gunman running around. Alternatively, all the aliens were rushing at will with 2 skulk rushes and when we would cry out "meet in halo" about 2 peeps would show and everyone else would die one at a time at marine processing base. They won because we never rushed as a team.

Just goes to show you the power of turret farming and teamwork.

I despise giving HA to people regardless of how far into the game we are... win or lose situation for this simple reason

marine with no gear = loyal
marine with HA = brain mutates said marine into a rambo despite how much teamplay was present before

Under the command of the almighty kitten, the highest you will ever get is a jetpack.... in rare occasions an HMG to go with it... but ONLY after lots of RTs, full armslab upgrades and MT.

BarxBaron · March 2003

hey thats not entirely true

if someone has no gear 15min into the game and looks to his right and sees no upgrades as well hes not gonna be loyal

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

No, Kitten is right. A grenade launcher is perhaps the only item not likely to make anyone go rambo, just because it is obvious you can't go out with it alone. I'm sure there were threads on getting people to cooperate otherwhere, but here's a few pointers:
- call them by their names
- use WPs over voicecomm and teamchat
- when someone wants orders, give him some immediately (if there's nothing to do right now, make something up quickly, it doesn't need to make sense, but give the marine the feeling he's part of a plan)
- tell them WHY they must do this or that, when you have the time at least
