<div class="IPBDescription">Marine commanders</div> Is it me, or does there not seem to be enough skilled marine commanders?

Im always willing to follow orders, but cap'n ain't always willing to give them out. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
(even when I ask)

And WTF is up with this, it seems that im one of the last people to get l33t gear. You see I make a habit of not bitching or whining for better gear, why do the whiners or even those who ask and don't overly whine, why do they get rewarded and I don't? Don't I deserve it far more? Isn't a "I can still kill with my LMG" and a "You say I do" far more worthy then a "I'm not going out there until you give me an HMG and armor" attitude?(which I saw some cool guy say in one game)

BTW, for now im using my forum name, so if you see me on your team, Remember: "Awaiting orders sir". <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Normally, when I'm commander and someone asks for orders, I can't see 'em and I'm so busy I just brush it off. Also, the reason why whiners get stuff first? Usually because of they don't, they'll go on a temper tantrum and start shooting up the base. That's happened several times to me and that's why I usually just give them what they want. Also, if I notice you follow orders and do what I say and actually having the armor/jetpack or shotgun/welder/HMG or whatever loadout you ask for useful, then I'll usually quickly give you whatever you want/need at base unless I don't have the resources.

    So before you ask, always check the resources. And think.. "Am I really worth 77 rps only to go out and die?" Also, if you see a phase gate, use 'em. They usually take you right to the front lines, and if you do a noticeable job by building whatever the commander drops, or kill a lot of aliens, the commander is usually much more inclined to help you.

    There's nothing worse than going marines, feeling good, then realizing you have a really dumb commander.
    Also, it's great going marines and finding out that you have a really excellent commander. I don't mind newbies that want to learn, but I <i>loathe</i> newbies who think they are great and won't take the oppurtunity to learn things about the game from people that know what they're doing/

    That's some wise words Tazol. So it kinda sucks that the commander can't see who is asking him for orders, I hope that will be changed in the next release.

    So do you recomened going to base whenever I want orders, doing the need orders command, then notifying commander that im in the base right now?

    yeh i hate having newbie commanders who think they are good and dont let anyone else command.

    all comanders need one of these tho: <a href='http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F003%5F012%5F007%5F000&product%5Fid=33%2D1168' target='_blank'>http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?cata...%5Fid=33%2D1168</a> or something similar, i suggest you get a pair if you are a real gamer.

    If I read well the patch description, no more FF on marine bulidings right ? Great my trick is gonna work ! Its simple and effective : spawn a turret on the whiners, spawn an HMG on the calm one ! Cost $$ but worths it !

    `kill
    They are back. Also, why waste your resources on turrets? It's not like they can be dangerous or anything (i.e. blowing up your own buildings) Just ignore them

    Bah I did that once when commander ( was controlling most of the map though )

    Well, when 2 ppl on Voice Comm and 3 ppl in chat are constantly asking for stuff you cant just ignore them.... cant wait for mute.

    Im currently playing in argentinian servers, they all found out about ns like 1 week ago and they all had no clue about it, they never took a look at the manual so its like, umm batt...... what should we do now??.
    Im playing, jumping over skulks trying to survive by myself because the commander wants me to hold a node, and my teamates never arrive, so i usually find myself answering questions while holding use key, then i see some alien approaching while i type, so i have to press enter jump over the building, jump again to avoid teh mighty bite, and then when i finally get in the ground i get chomped by the 2nd and the 3rd, and the 4th skulk that was rushing :PPPPP. Then i respawn and i find out that all the **obscenity** are just bothering the commander for ha and hmg when we dont have a fckin 2nd nodE!!! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    all you need to be a good commander is like 250 hours of rts play.

    I have a Plantronics dsp 500 the 80 $$ one. But in game it sounds all fuzzy. Its so sad maybe dsp is not working with hl so well.... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
