He has been doing this since the first playtesting phase of the game. He is the man. But I have to say that some of you have it all wrong about commanders. Yes it takes sombody who knows what there doing to make it work. BUT I personally have seen it when a good commander has gone bad. When the rest of the team do not listen to what the commander is saying... It is VERY VERY VERY important that you listen to them because your lives depend on him in the end. They have to come up with a strategy to defeat the aliens by using you guys as vassals. Basically his team is an extension of him and he is limited to what he can do by the ppl he commands. Get it?
so next time a commander tells 2 ppl to go an take the dbl node you might wanna do it asap <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Except when the commander <b>thinks</b> he has the big picture and knows what he's doing, which sadly isn't the case anywhere near often enough. Nothing will turn a marine team into skulk food faster than a bad case of the blind leading the blind.
This game is just crying for some real organized competitve play. Anybody got a league or ladder in the works?
Wow...I've been mentioned...twice none the less. Ah req....bloody good marine...listened and followed orders well. Yes those come backs...when you get in after another commander let the aliens get three hives...not easy. Sadly though it's when people quit becauce they are losing or go sit in the ready room...I've finished games where it was 12 on 12...and in the end it was 12 on 2. I know I have left one or two games only a bit in but...when its over...it's over...and I'm not one to vote kick a commander by myself.
Edit...on a side note...a simple way to find good commanders in games...is that they will ask if they should command or not...that and having most of the team tell them to command...which has happened to me more then once. Or when they boot the current commander so that you can command...always touching : ) Thank you to all those loyal and attentive marines out there. Well done, all of you.
I’ve just recently played a game with a man by the name of Crusader, and dear god, was he a good commander.
You would have had to have been there to experience it; somehow, through the efforts of the commander, we managed to gain three precious heavy armors with two Heavy Mgs, and one grenade launcher. This dagger was enough to pierce into the heart of the Alien hives while our base remained under constant siege for nearly an hour.
Boy, were those guys surprised when their Onos disappeared…
Heheh when The Evil One is in a game I always join marine, because i like having a commander who GIVES good orders and knows the gameplan. That and I hate trying to beat his team.

Alright, this guy claimed it was only his 3rd time in the seat, but he had a good tactical sense, knew how it all worked, and seemed to be psychic... Before I could navigate the menu to "Need Health", there were already health packs falling on my head... He gave people what they needed and no more, set up sieges when necessary, etc etc...
Now the question is how to post his name on here... Heheh...

Here is how you get marines to do something. Say after a ball a disobedient marine says he needs ammo and health, but you need him to go somewhere. Simply leave a trail of health and ammo packs to where you need him to go. Other ways to force your marines into submission include(but are not limited to): 1. Putting out bounties such as "An HMG and HA for the first marine to secure me a resource node" 2. Threaten to recycle the turret factory at main base. 3. Threaten to recycle all the infantry portals at main base and leave them to rot in non-existence. Remember commanders, you are god, try to play the part.

theres no voting for yourself jedi...only marines can vote for you..as it should be...besides which your record has no true bearing on your command ability...especially if you get in after someone else left...
Thrax is good, he climbed in the chair after a new commander let them get 3 hives then managed to lead us to the win. He also continued his streak serveal rounds after that.
heheh so if i change my nick to one of the listed commanders here they'll be picking me to command? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
no seriously, whats the point of listing nicks cause it is very rare that a person is the only one whith that nick
or is there a system that blocks out already used nicks?? Cause then i'll have to run to register my nick fast <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
