A Few Things

KoniaX

<div class="IPBDescription">Just wondering...</div> I am usualy a commander on my marine team. I put down 1 ip, armory, get another res tower, arms lab, res tower. proto lab and then observatory. Of course it might not go in that order depending on if we have rines at a hive or not. If you are commander what do u usually put down and in what order? Oh and one more thing, is building a base inside the hive no longer cool or something? It seems that every server i play on, the marines always build base outside of hive. EX. Buuldiong at mother interface right outside of subspace (or maybe its port i cant remember). Discuss.

1. I usually do either (BASIC) 1 ip, armory and then I decide to go either (Path 1) Obs, noz on the way to a hive, noz within hive, 2 phase gates, mines. Or (Path 2), arms lab, noz, noz within hive, armor1, telling my rines to fk'in camp hive, obs, phase gate x2, and then mines.

I'm always against relocating. Nope. Nadda. Ain't happening. Try another server if you see me as comm. Don't care if its cargo bay hive either (for the 3 noz points).

Well I build first two ip's then an armory. At this point I decide my overall strategy. Do I go for motion tracking early on, because I know that if you know the enemy is there, then they lose a lot of their advantage over you. Do I upgrade my armory, because they are weak in the begining, and heavy machine guns obliterate them. Are we being rushed consecutivly, if so I'll put down an arms lab and get lvl 1 weapons. If we are not, then I will have my marines move to a res that is close to the base on certain maps, such as nothing (I think, its the map with docking wing and cargo), or go to the nearest hive and secure that res. If I go that way then I will secure the hive, then secure every res inbetween, which is usually at least one sometimes two. Then I begin my next thoughts, which are based on the previous decisions. I base my strategy off of the enemies most times, as reaction is better than proaction, as it keeps you flexible and not tunnel sighted on strategy.

I have a basic set that works well but beyond the norm...I.P.'s and armory and Obs. I usually work a lot on res nodes and figured out what I am fighting against. usually it's just adapting my normal over all build stategy to what I am up against and how well my team works together. I spent one game building res nodes over and over because I didn't have the res to defend them and my marines didn't work together enough to save them.
