If you succeed, game is over immediatly. If you fail, game is over (pretty much) immediatly. You are from the get go deciding that this will be a 1 minute game no matter what and it has nothing to do with tactics, strategy, creativity, situational awareness or anything else that makes this game fun.
I don't mind the occasional quick game, without them it would get dull since everyone would know that they have at least 5-10 minutes to get their thigs in order, but short games should be because one team spots an early weakness on the other and exploits it, not because one team decides from the start it will be a short game.
Sure, if you don't have the mental capacity to appreciate the levels and nuances of the game, go for a shotgun rush every game, but please, do so with bots. Better yet, go play a deathmatch game instead.
This isn't a 'tactic', it's just a way of turning a strategy game into a deathmatch game.

You seriously think this will work? If the Marines get attacked by a group outnumbering them, they will surely die. There will be NO WAY to kill 6 Skulks will 4 Shotguns... sorry... ain't happenin.

I'm fed up of rthese cr4ppy little games. as far as I'm concerned if you come on my server touting your "Never lose cos I pwnz0r" attitude, you'll not only get pwned by me and the regulars but you'll also probably end up getting banned.
Nothing ever wins 100% of the time, not even jp/hmg rushes (boooring).
Shotguns are unfeasibly powerful in the early game. I love shotguns. However I hate games that last no time at all whether I'm winning or losing. Where's the point?
Plus you're forgetting that while you and the (other little) boys are off pwning the hive, some of the aliens will be pwning your base, so when we finally get rid of that ping of death, you'll be going down quicker than a columbian h00k3r after 20 tequilas. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> Heh.
