A Comm Strategy

<div class="IPBDescription">one that I thought about.....</div> I'm not sure if this is a good strategy, but here it goes:

Right at the start, build an IP, and then tell EVERYONE to go to a hive location. Luckily, there won't be a hive there so early in the game. Then, drop another IP, a CC and an aromory at the hive location. Recycle the one at the base (not sure if that is still available at 2.0, since I only downlaoaded it like, 3 days ago). Now you have a new base! And you lockdowned a hive! From now on, I like to build a few turrets at strategic locations and get some RTs. The rest, like HMG/HA rush, and so on, I decide depending on the scenario of the game.


What does everyone think about this? I'm not sure if there was a post like this before. If there was, sorry about that.

    It's called a relocation. It's been a strat for a VERY long time, long before 2.0

    And it can work, so don't be afraid to use it. Just you need your marines to listen ;-)

    It is??

    Oh well, didn't know that. I mean, I never played as a commander before. Always was a marine or a gorge. Never had the guts to play as a comm, until like, yesterday.

    This is an ANCIENT strat my friend <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    By any means, it can work really well on maps where rts are close to hives, but I wouldn't do it on a map where the rt is in an inconvient place in your hive or there aren't many close rts.

    actually, i don't see the ip being built at base that often. definately worth the res and effort to have one or two stay back with the ip in case the reloc gets ambushed, or you have a n00b comm who can't tell which one is their hive.

    P-Khan don't feel bad that this is an old strat. You worked it out yourself which is good and there haven't been posts on the general strat for a while.

    BTW you can still listen for hives (they make a sloshing noise) doing that before increases success by alot.

    Yeah by no means worry about the fact that it's old. You thought of it yourself so that's good anyways.

    I've had trouble listening for hives myself, I usually can hear folks running around IN the hive alot easier than the hive itself. I play with the volume pretty low though, since I played after midnight usually.
