Hugh played on the Gamespot stream. While he was playing on mineshaft as an Onos, Sorting hive became under attack by 6 exos. He beat them.

Tho i did saw it, he was lucky exos where all alone.

It was a slight exaggeration, but it was still awesome.

hotd0g

i lold so hard at the goatse reference charlie made

MaximumSquid

You should check out the great "Who don't care that your team spams exos" alien counter tactic

I'm actually surprised how many teams have lost because they build too many

Worst one I saw I think there were 5 exos in ready room after aliens won

As aliens in that game we were freaking out when we saved that hive. Great teamwork all around to save it. It had NOTHING to do with the exos not killing Hugh :P

Highlander92

That was an epic game. Well played Hugh, you are awesome :D

extollo

per charlie ... patch tomorrow ... sounds like a visual improvement is coming

Hugh

:D :D :D

Well, there was method to my madness. I was trying to shield myself from other exo-fire by putting my target between me and the main group. Also, Chops was mega-healing with crag speed heal. And there were two gorges following me around. And the exo's had no welders with them. And they were trying to shoot the hive, they didn't react as a team when I came from behind. Ironically, falling off the stairs probably saved me from being focus fired at the start.

Good fun!

We can at least say that you were the centerpiece, mayhaps.

I can't wait to figure out what this Infestation related Feature/Design/Optimization/Rumour is all aboot!
kinda haphazard, might not be the right thread to ask about it. Sorry.

sushia11

Wow... I know that it's usually not the smartest idea to just make a million exos, but this... this is almost unheard of lol. Six exo kills while defending your ONLY hive?! Props.

I think it's safe to talk about the stream in general here.

Cat-Poker

I am actually wondering if that stream substantially increased the pre-orders. I know I was answering a few questions and throwing the steam store page link in the chat. That stream had about 2200 people watching at the end of it and a lot of people were asking why they had never heard of this game before (Hugh, do your job!).

Great seeing it and hopefully we will see more of these marketing promos!

No love for being a epic Battle Gorge :(

To be honest I've had this happen several times, it generally ends up like this (while I am commanding)

- Dual exos are up guys make sure you dont all go exo, we need at least 1 grenader, 3 welders and someone with a flamethrower
- I SAID DONT ALL GO EXO
- GOD DAMN WHO IS GOING TO WELD
- ok, ok we got this just everyone rush the hive we have 7 exos
- Omg everyone died I hate you QQQQQQQQQQ

LOL @ Antacid

Xarius

67000 pre-orders now :p

It's only natural that Hugh is good with onos as its pretty much just a really big angry Hughnicorn.

Are you trying to say he's not cool with being in the middle of several big, burly Exos? Come on, he's just shy :P

Seriously though, watched that stream yesterday, and what an awesome moment. I have to say though, while having banter in a gamespot livestream is cool, I felt it was a bit too much near the middle. Got better near the end, but before that it probably would have been better to focus more on the game than on Charlie's abs.

Supernorn

Marines would have won this game if the grenade hadn't randomly bounced off the ceiling and exploded in my face. I had solo'd it down to 16% health with a grenade launcher...
