It was a small game, 2 marines vs 4 aliens. I was a marine and my only ally was commander. I must say this was more fun than it sounded, it was hell scary, kept checking every corner, had to build everything myself and cover my own **obscenity**. Although my commander was like a god with only me to look after, health/ammo you name it and it was at my feet.

Funny thing is we actually won! It was very fun and rewarding, hard to organise a game like this but i'd say its worth it.

Then, u must have:

1)good aim
2)an agile commander
3)aliens that dont know how to play aliens
4)all the damn luck in the galaxy.

its not that i dont believe you but i would like to know how 3 alien players -minus 1 for say...a gorge- cant take out a lone marine at the very start?'

edit: oh yeah i have no doubt that u must have been living life on the edge..scary working alone and jumping at the mere hints of the clackling feet of incoming <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='skulk.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='skulk.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='skulk.gif'> ? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Lol it happened to me too, my commander had me build outposts dangerously close to the hives...

I'v said this many times but hell i'm, proud so i'll say it again, my frist commanding i lead 4 marines vs 11 bugs and kicked there **obscenity**, lol all those hours of Starcaft and command and conquer payed off.

hehe

i had this scrim with these 2 guys

just me vs them

they were marine first round so i rushed and killed them both before they got spawns up so i won that one
then the second i was marine and before they even got there i had 1 spawn portal 1 tf and 2 turrets

being a 1 man army takes a lot of walking :x
i diddnt win tho, i pretty much got too bored and said "im leavin"

There are actually advantages to having less players. It's way easier for a commander to manage the team, plus you can respond WAY quicker with health and ammo.

For a Comm it's usually much easier in small games. I can imagine 2 on 4 being a workout, my FPS are to low - I'd die to a skulk even with a comm raingin health on me. I wouldn't say the aliens would have to be bad though, if the comm keeps and eye on him carefully the aliens couldn't touch him. And with only 4 aliens it would be hard as hell for them to destroy any turret farms.

I dont think the aliens were stupid, i just think they were too spred out, i mean they can either travel together and prob kill me if they find me, or go commando as aliens usually do and get cut up by me. I mean if i was one of the aliens i wouldnt be expecting much trouble from one marine. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

You're just lucky it didn't end up as four Onoses vs. one marine....
