<div class="IPBDescription">A CoFR story.</div> So I'm on CoFR tonight, with a couple regulars. Its ns_eclipse. No one is willing to comm, so making sure everyone knows I suck, I take charge. I check their hive- comp core. I send everyone out to maintnence. We secure the Res node. After sending 2 guys back to build horeshoe, I drop an early arms lab, and then eventually an obs. Aliens have been pretty quiet- my marines have been taking them down pretty easily. I send 3 guys to build up South Loop and we get a couple turrets, res node and a phase gate for quick respawn. I upgrade the TF... drop a seige... and it doesn't reach. Hmm. I thought it did. Luckily the TF activiated a small chunk of North Core and we build some turrets and a phase there. I ping Ecomm, they have 2 hives...
The Seiges go to work and Comp Core's WOLs start dropping... it still doesn't reach the hive. I finally just send in some LMG marines to take it out. We go, capture comp core's res. I send some guys to triad, in hopes that we can start advancing on Ecomm. It didn't work. The aliens started to move back into Comp Core, but they only managed to take down the res node. We killed off the couple fades that had evolved during the short 2 hive period as we clean out the area surrounding Ecom. After being unable to push the aliens back into their hive from either Comp Core or Triad, I gather everyone at base. Drop some Heavy weapons and JPs, and instruct everyone just to fly into the hive and take it down. Some mad crazy combat ensues and then I hear that oh so wonderful sound: ping.... ping... ping... A few seconds later, the victory music and the readyroom.
I won! My 3rd time comming a whole game :-) And on CoFR. CoFR has good aliens :-)

Sounds like you did a good job to me. My first comm win excited me too, actually I can still remember it. You'll find commanding on CoFR is easier than most pubs because all the marines seem to listen to you wherever you tell them to go (after you insult their mothers that is).
If you lose a few games, don't let it get you down. I know its frustrating and stressful to command games of NS, and many times its a thankless job, but keep at it. We need all the good commanders we can get.
Just tell them SUYF, I know what I'm doing <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Works for me. And if we happen to loose, I just say that the aliens were too good for us <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Ok, what the hell is suyf? Why can't I say shut the **** up if I want? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Amen, brother.
