There's a solution to that. Get people to stop yelling at comms who know what they're doing but aren't doing exactly what you want them to. The minority of comms are willing to put up with that, so as a result there aren't many good comms. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
I don't mind so much, but only because I enjoy watching Mr. Rambo N00b eat his words when we win, despite his dire predictions and mindless screaming. :-p
Kavasa, the subject was why some people don't like pubs, not whether pub or clan play was to be prefered, that's why your stetement wasn't responded to. If you prefer clan play to *good* public play, that's just a matter of taste. I prefer public because I like the games larger and more unpredictable, as well as more social.
wow, so many replies, i never realised to many people felt the same...
i thought id better say now, im not trying to make generalisations of all clan players, or trying to flame them, hell, i know lots of people in clans who are really fun to play with.
yeh i'll admit that you do get the odd llama in the server, but ive only ever seen one realy annoying person and all he did was make me laugh at how sad he was, but it shouldn't be enough to put someone off public servers alltogether.
also, another thought about this, albiet a bit off topic. maybe game/mod developers should consider this change between clans and average gamers when making games, we know NS already has seperate modes for the two types, but would it be possible to make them more suiting to each type of player?
ahhh hate those! sometimes even the 'hive-voice' is annoying: skulk waiting for his prey to pass beneath him whilst hanging on the ceiling... listening to footsteps.. "RECOURCE TOWER IS UNDER ATTACK"... Ewwwww a marine!!! too late!!! doh!
True, public servers are quite good. You can get all the fun of NS with (notmally) friendly people who are willing to teach you how to play.
However, as any public things, there are some people who get way too stressed. I mean, once I was in a public server, and I mean, I had just entered it and the marines were almost finishing the game, so the commander decides to give me a HMG and a JP and told me to go and destroy the hive at a certain location. I told him that I wasn't familiar to the map (ns_nothing) and asked for a waypoint. The dude started swearing like mad, saying that it was n00bs who spoil the game and told everyone of the marines to leave the game.
Yeah, the more experienced players have to realise that not everyone knows every location on every map. It takes quite a while just to learn the hive locations for the maps, let alone the commonly known relocation spots, double res points etc. Just because you don't know a certain location doesn't make you a 'n00b', thats for sure.. some maps can be confusing sometimes.
Back on topic, I've had good and bad experiences with public servers, these days I try and stick to the servers where I know most of the players so I know I'm in for an entertaining game. Never played on a clan server so I'd have nfi.
I almost always play on a pub server because several clans use it, it's stable and great fun, I've tried a few clan servers and found the clans to have REALLY bad manners that makes me want to <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> them alot. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> Umm... what? Its not really a clan server if its open to the public. The point of a clan server is to scrim with maximum of 14 players. Its to test strats and such.

I whished that the HMG was reall at the time.

1. No noob gorges/commander
2. They don't JP HMG
Other then that is fun. Fun to get some crazy commander that does great strats like JP/mines or HA/welder rushes.
