  It respawns ALL dead marines.... does not spawn marines from infantry portals.

  I rarely see people use it, but it can be a powerful tool when your base is being raided. I was commander once, and our base was being bombarded. The only reason we were able to fight off the aliens successfully was because I used distress beacon like mad, so the aliens had to contend with swarms of marines.

  It's the way a good commander saves his team from the big skulk rush. Start, make infantry portal, make observatory, fightfightfight, bring back all troops immediately, fightfightfight. Skulks all get the idea that rushing == all Marines waiting, and leave you alone long enough to get stabilized.

  Well it's all very clear to me. Maybe you shouldn't read every other word <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
