<div class="IPBDescription">destroying offense chambers? defense?</div> It seems half the time when I am marine that the commander wont upgrade weapons or armor so I end up with low armor and low damaging weapons... , beside's yelling at the commander what can I do in this situation? I can on load 30 nades with the grenade launcher and it wont die.... espicially when there is offense chambers around it? hwta can I do to destroy these? it seems by the time I reload they structures are already healed again.. I even tried unloading 250 bullets from a HMG and it didnt help... 30 bullets wont do it for me and the reload is too slow, any tips?

Oh yeah I forgot to add : I like to play small games to prevent major lag so it's hard to have teamates stay with me when there is only one other guy and the commander or just a commander.
stay with your team.
stay with your team.
and.
stay with your team.
what are you talking about here. which structures? if its a hive it will take quite a while to destroy. however an offense chamber will take around 150 lmg bullets, (depending on how many miss and hit etc). unloading 30 grenades into a structure i imagine would own anything. it wasnt a marine resource tower you mistook for an alien structure?
yer also if there is alot of defensive chambers surrounding it the structures will heal. just stick with your team against multiple alien structures to take them down alot quicker
The pistol can carry 800 points of damage with all its clips.
I really hate haviung a bunch of offense chambers with a DC behing it.. , If I try and get the DC I am shot by the OC's, If I try to get the OC's they regenerate.
<i>Offensive chamber health increased from 1100 to 1200</i>
Of course, once you finish off the last DC, the OCs will almost certianly kill you unless the Commander has nothing better to do than micromanage your **obscenity**. This is called <i>taking one for the team,</i> and it's something every new NS player needs to learn how to do. Self-sacrifice can be very important in this game, <i>when it pays off.</i>
Another good idea is to build a frikking seige turret. There are some gooey alien walls you simply CANNOT LMG through. You need either 2 guys with power armor and welders or a seige or two. Marines need to learn to assess the situation and stop throwing their lives away trying to chisel away at an enormous wall by strafing, and start bravely sacrifing themselves with ballsy daredevil moves, but ONLY when they stand a realistic chance of actually pulling them off.
Also, when the commander is upgrading for the seige, face the turret factory and hold down your use key. Faster research = good.
Of course, sometimes, strafing around the wall with an LMG works great, especially if you got a bunch of buddies training your fire on the same chamber, and there's only 2 or 3 defs.
Consider the suggestions in this post as <i>alternative tactics</i> to use when strafing just doesn't seem to be cutting it.
