<div class="IPBDescription">no honor</div> I am starting to get fed up with one side just giving up because the other side is winning. I played 2 games today and in both games the other side just gave up and changed the map. Some people even will quit the server. Just because one team has the upper hand and has pushed you back to your last hive, or back to your main base, doesn't mean you can't still win.


On two separate ocassions, I remember winning with all odds against my team. One time on eclipse our alien team was being sieged to death and we only had one hive left. I managed to take an outpost out in one of our hive locations and I started building a second hive under their noses. Me and this other guy went fade, and went around destroying outposts. They had not research HA, because they were initialy beating us (big mistake <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> ). However, we managed to fight them back and after another hour we got 3 hives and onos rushed them.


The other time I was on hera, I was marine and they had 3 hives. All was almost lost....But I got a nade launcher and luckily made it to a hive. They fortunately left it unprotected and I blew the hive to bits. We killed their last onoses off and began setting up are previously destroyed outpost. Unfortunately the server crashed, but we had them down to one hive, and were preparing to siege it. We pretty much won that one.

All I'm saying is, not to give up. With a skilled commander or skilled gorgers, u can win. Also you need a **obscenity** load of luck. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    look, there are times when ppl give up way to fast, I know I have fought back from those positions


    marines killed every one and our hive, I was the only one left (gorge) built the hive, built off and deff chambers (spamming away ;D) and we won (and this was back in 1.00 ;D)


    however I do tihnk there should be a surrender otion (basicaly entire team votes, and it takes a FULL vote) this way the stupid *insert team* wont just sit around and toy with ppl (it gets stupid fast)

    Well, hate to point it out, but both of those comebacks were due to the stupidity of your opponents (IE not researching heavy armor, not defending a base). Against any semi-skilled opponent, once the Onos's start flooding in and you have 1 base left, you're dead. Or when you're fighting HA/HMGs with only skulks, you're dead.

    Thats why people leave. Better to just start a new round than to wait the 20 minutes for one side to 'cleanup' the other. Because thats all it is, cleanup. Not a 'last stand' or 'we've still got a chance'. Its just horribly boring for the losing team (maybe if all 6 of us skulks rush at the same time, we can take out 1 HA/HMG!!! LETS GOO!! WOOOOO!!!), and tedious for the winning team ('ok, start dropping the scanner sweeps. have to find that last skulk hiding in the vents')

    I admit the victories were mistakes made by the other team. However, comebacks aren't impossible. Some people give up too quickly. A surrender vote would be good, but the whole team would have to agree. I could just picture the lamers voting surrender because their scores aren't good. 'Oh no I got 5 deaths, better surrender'.

    hehe, that can be done often, remember though that was not 'singlehandedly' that was working well with the commie

    an example of this is Bast (my friends and I here at college REALY know that map)

    marine start -> take elevator down 1/2 way -> crawl through vents (head right) -> the engine room, have commie drop TF and siege and tada no more hive (both of us have done this, it all depends on the competancy of the commie, sometimes we get that TF some times not)

    ns's partly an RTS game so it's in line with other strategy games like SC/WC... when ya know ya owned, ya owned... so there's no point in waitin for ya opponent to clean up the mess... wish there's a Quit Mission key <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
