Angry Commandars

BCSeph

<div class="IPBDescription">we've all had em before</div>Over the past few weeks or so I have experienced what seems like alot of angry comms. Sometimes its funny to hear them yell their tonsils out but I mean sheesh, whats with comms these days? I jump in the chair every now and then but I dont resort to kicking and screaming to keep people in line. Its a pub for Gods sake. Anyway, does anyone else have any angry comm stories/rantings? Or maybe a video of an angry comm in action. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/marine.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::marine::" border="0" alt="marine.gif" />

Again, its the a-hole elitists. They rarely follow orders and will generally eject a comm for no reason at all. Thats the nice thing about admin powers, you see exactly who is ejecting and when, and then get to use it against them. I love comming (and comming well) and seeing some dumba$$ eject me then ask for equipment. Oops! looks like i missed you and suited everyone else up. And no, im saving for the next rush from now on. Here's a welder, be a good b*tch.

I am the angry commander. I scream and rant and rave because it is the only way to get my team to pay attention to me. Generally, you have a few people who have a decent idea of what to do and do their best to achieve their given mission. Then you have the rest of the team that wanders around aimlessly like headless chickens and only manages to get anything done by pure coincidence. These are the people refuse to leave a hive even when you tell them you don't want it locked down, the people who grab a shotgun, spend a minute loading up fully on ammo, rambo off and die without getting anything done, then respawn and ask for another shotgun.

If you're one of the few people who are doing what the comm is asking, then good job, keep doing it. If you are one of the people who keep getting yelled at each time, I hope you die in a fire.

I prefer Deimos rage because it lasts for sometimes up to an hour.

haha, i have to agree underwhelmed, i'm worse comming my own clan though. I tend to just sigh a lot and express my disappointment in public games :s

splintersnake

90% of pub teams = noobs that expect the comm to win it FOR them.

The commander does have his tasks of upgrading, informing, med packing plus ammo, and dropping structors.
Marines job to build the stuff dropped, kill, and push.


Now if the marines are not killing, building, or pushing where does that leave the commander?

i am the angry comm, occasionally. the problem is most of the kids, nubs dun listen to u if u speak like a kind nurse. so this way ending up comms screaming and yelling. in contrast, i find no problem to so called a-hole elites. as long as they kill a lot, i will med them whenever necessary as this is something most of the people cant do, aim. when u come across with the lame eject, ok fine, i f4 and see how u win, as 8 out of 10 ejects end up with a nub comm or nobody comming after all. otherwise, other players comming will end up in getting mad again.

oh just get used to it. the comm has a nice reason to yell when nobody listen to it and he knows that his goal is to try his best to guide the team to win.

ZiGGY

last night I played a 7v7 pub game where I opened up as perma gorg, proceeding to drop 3 RTs(the only RTs) and several chambers on the first gestate, whilst providing middleground support and generally reinforcement. The second hive is ~85% and I call that there is a ninja trying to solo a pg outside the mainhive -- nil response, we lose the hive but we still got a lotta RTs and we keep our ups. We retake the hive location, and pressure whilst expanding once again, then a guy joins our team and tks one of our hives, proceeds to tk half the team and will go on to kill 2 other hives. Now I can carry a lot of deadweight with my gorg hax :o but I cant fight teched marines and tking aliens :O

The moral of the story is, the one game in the past month where I actually bothered to attempt to let the team win (an apathy ive built up recently due to the absolute abhorrent alien behaviour where every game involves me having to do everything, rts, hive, lerk, fade, nme rts, rines, disco) so I got out of that rut and decided to perma gorg for my team and established a strong position... only for 1 guy on my team to basically destroy everything I tried to do. moral: dont try, absolute waste of time.

Id put that maybe 5 echelons and a universe above moaning about an angry comm? :/

I thought the idea of eject commander wasn't to be used just because you have a "bad commander" but if a commander abuses his power.

IE. Just because a commander won't upgrade armor weapons 2 and give you shotguns even if you all ask for them doesn't mean he is abusing his power, he obviously has a different game plan. It might be bad commanding, it might be good commanding. However if a commander won't build resource towers or does nothing but waste resources on say, 5 comm chairs over the level then he is abusing the power he has and calls for an eject.

Don't know if I make sense although it seems people are just ejecting bad commanders, who will only become good commanders if you let them make mistakes, play differently and develop theirselves. It's only the players abusing the command position you should eject instead.

The best rage comes from competitive games, ah the memories.

I've been there. Another reason I try to comm only on servers where the regs know me.

Cxwf

I think PUGs are the worst to comm.

On Pub games, no one expects too much out of you, so it doesn't really matter what you do.

On your regular server where people know you, the regs will respect you and follow orders. (Or realize your a perma-nub comm. Whichever.)

In a Clan game, likewise, your marines know you and will respect you (hopefully).

Ah, but in a PUG game? The marines don't know you, don't respect you, and each one thinks he's the greatest vet since terror and exi, so every time you give an order or spend some res you get 4 marines telling you why thats a dumb move and you should do something else. So you get terrible teamwork, but at least you can hope they're good shots. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

DC_Darkling

I spam them with info and only give the most needed orders. I try to react on what the rines in the field do.

Leon

that why you should be like me and never pug. dont like to scrim them either

Kmart

Geez you guys get so worked up, take a chill pill and have some fun. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

Annihilator

Why do all these nubs in pubs build an obs at the start, and an arms lab at 5 minutes? Another game I played, the commander built 2 obs in base because someone yelled sensory before they ever built an arms lab. Where did people come up with these horrible builds?

I got ejected the other day because I did my usual upgrade strat with pgs at 4 mins, but I was ejected about 3 minutes in. Then the entire rest of the game we finished with lvl 2 guns and lvl 1 armor, the upgrades that I got before the eject.

[edit] Oh god I forgot this one. I had 3-3 upgrades and HA HMG running around, but my whole team was ###### and moaning that I didnt know what I was doing because I never got hand nades. Why are people so hung up on hand nades. I get especially ###### when i'm upgrading the amory and they whine about hand nades.[edit]

Priestly

Because most marines on pubs cant aim to save their souls. The only chance they normally have to reach the hive farthest from alien's hive, and god forbid the aliens have a middle hive, is to run there and be there in the first 2 minutes while there aren't any lerks on the field.

One thing all pub marines know how to do is get beaconed, prime hand nades, and jump through a pg. So having the obs up first with pg getting researched lets them keep at least 1 hive, maybe a 2 hive lockdown if they have even 2 decent marines to go and secure the second hive. If not beacon and have them rush the other hive en masse while leaving 1-2 marines at the other hive with mines around the pg for when the 2 gaurding the first hive invariably shoot all their bullets into the ceiling and ground and get owned by 1 skulk.

Did I miss anything? 2 hive lockdown = boring game but easy win, cap the rest of the map, tech up, win button.

Arms lab first if you even have 3-4 marines on your team who you know can aim, they'll carry the rest to victory.

Chocolate

This is why i play on Ns 3.2 beta 2 Tactical Gamer server. People there aren't complete ######'s and actually listen to you, follow orders, suggest improvements to your strategy and let you learn to comm! Every time ive commed and won on this server was because my team helped me and I've never ever needed to yell at them.

Leon

salut Chocolate <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" /> you need to play more though! either or I need to ........damn homework

DuoGodOfDeath

Its okay Annihilator with Exec Win.cfg on your side theres no way you can lose!

Priestly

Oh yeah about hand nades....damn man it's 10 res for a 1 minute upgrade that'll kill skulks biting the backsides of rts and a crap load of other situations where an lmg or pistol just doesn't cut it. There's no reason not to get hand nades, even if you are doing an AA rush, just get the nades afterward.

Leon

people usually rage about not having hand nades when I commander, so I get them. It is usually only way some of the marines on a pub can kill something so I will..plus they are useful sometime and the cost is so small. even in scrims sometimes we might get them if we are dominating early on, never know when a lerk becomes a dead lerk due to a hotdog.

edit - the guy with 2 obs was hawthorne <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

MrBen

We were sieging a last hive with 3 3 upgrades, HA, jetpacks, MT etc and people were still going "GET NADES FS"

Femme_Fatale

i laugh at raging comms.
so funny.
raging comms makes me want to cooperate less than,social non tripping ######s that actually enjoy playing a game on a pub server.
ofcourse its ###### frustrating having ppl never listen to you.
but do you seriously think that only happens in games on the internet?
no
get over it.
its pub play.

Porcepic

The most horrible is people who are crying because there is no comm then ejecting you because they think you are bad cause you didn't search any upgrades (only because you had to wait 3 minutes before one guy realize he should maybe build the arms lab...)

Or that they should have BUILT the RT's instead of running by them!!!
