Best Marine Ending Ever

<div class="IPBDescription">Didn't require HA!</div> It was pretty refreshing... we were dominating the aliens with 9 of the nodes to their one hive and one tower. However, we had a bug... we couldn't upgrade armor or weapons, or even get heavy armor.

So, we rushed in with nonstop med/ammo spam and everyone had shotguns. The aliens' res **** came out of the woodwork as onii and fades at the last minute and died before they could do anything. We had to do like three rushes, but it was a hell of a lot more fun to actually run in and blast the swarms of skulks attacking us than to have everyone suit up in HA and whine for the weapon of choice and crying to get welded while we slowly built up a siege farm to finish off without resistence.

    Some of the post counts have been showing up wrong lately. If you look at the person's profile, the total number of posts still shows up incorrectly. However, the number of posts in the section where they are most active will be correct, and from the percentage of total posts that this makes, you can figure out how many total posts they have. Of course, this is more work than most people would be willing to do.

    They aren't showing up wrong, they've been reset on request. It's a statement that large postcounts don't mean anything.

    Gadzuko is right. When I hit 500 posts, I'm gonna ask for it to be reset again.

    If large post counts mean nothing, why go to the trouble of getting it reset?

    Well, I'm proud of my high postcount. I don't care much, but I like having it. If it was suddenly removed I wouldn't mind, but whatever. Though, I would like it permanently set to "1337"...heheh.

    Naw, best marine ending ever was on ns_lost, when we were getting owned in every conceivable way. While they were busy taking down what was left of our outside RTs and stuffs, we just rushed the hell out of MS with mostly LMGs, set a phase up at equil and LMGed the damn hive down (took about 3 beacons to do, but it worked). They lost most of their lifeforms, and their 2nd hive wasn't active yet - so we rushed cargo with our LMGs of dewm as well, and despite their being a whole bloody OC farm over there it worked.

    We didn't have a base, an arms lab or even an IP at that point anymore - just an obs stowed away, a commchair in the red, 8 res spare, no RTs and 3 guys alive. But we won.

    This kinda reminds me and makes me nostalgic of 1.0 IP rushes. Find the hive, build base and 5 or so IPs there, take the hive with LMG might. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I guess it's too bad then that you actually have 2041 posts.

    I think they wan't to get a reaction out of those who think post counts matter, e.g. "omg what happened to your post count", or see if newbies treat them differently or something.

    Personally I think they might as well remove the post counts and "level" from being displayed in the sidebar at the left. Worked for the steam forums, the people who spammed for the sake of a high post count appear to have migrated to other boards.

    Removing post count does keep away spammers, I look at join date to assess who's new and who's not etc.
