I Really Hate Pub Servers..

Sly_Fox · December 2002

[rant] I try to use a approach apart from "<b><i>"fortify spawn" then goto a res and turret the begebbus out of it..</i></b>

Like say even as simple as take over a hive and use that as base..

KICK THE COMMANDER..

It really sh!ts me to tears..

If U dont built up spawn with EVERYTHING straight away, U get kicked..
If are in Australia I am refering to the Game Arena servers..

What a bunch of lame newbie maggots on there..

Grrrrrrrr

[/rant]

Edit:Typo's

Not sure if I've ever played on the servers at teh same time as you Sly Fox but I've never seen that problem...

I would have thought that the problem was getting the marines to follow your orders properly. Hard to get a functional marines team on teh GA servers but it can be done

I've seen commanders do the base evac. strat a few times without getting booted. Hell, I haven't seen a commander get the boot for a few weeks now!

Meh, I've done it on GA as comm. Eclipse, run to eclipse command from start, rebuild base there, move em all to attack core (their hive), we win.

It's not possible with every bunch of rag-tags you get each game, just build a bridge or change server, theres 6 up atm.

i have this prob to, i have only played 4 games with marines that knew WTF was up...

i have been on these forums before, and all these people must be playing on super secret leet servers, while im stuck with the noobs explaining to the commander how to upgrade stuff with the arms lab :/

Bluee · December 2002

I find it quite funny when me and a couple of marine buddies are already at an empty hive (this is less than one minute in to a game), and we're all typing and screaming "commander commander please make the base at this hive please don't build at base please don't build at base".

Resources begin to drop. No buildings have appeared at this hive.

Oh **obscenity**.

Hmm. I guess that's part of the reason I go alien more often than Marine, because I don't have to worry about crappy commanders <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Pub servers aren't always bad, I just had a wonderful two rounds on eclipse where my team were all really on the ball when it came to skulking. Parasite circles were everywhere, a marine would walk down a hallway and get bitten from front and rear...

The marines hardly left their base the first map, it was eerie. In the second, they tried moving up with turret factories... they never got anything truly built.

Pubs aren't bad, it just depends on the time of day and the particular place. I've known some extremely good players in various games who were all pubbers.

If you're an Australian, play on the OzForces servers, or the Optusnet servers

that's all you need, they're both GREAT.

Zhang · December 2002

there are two ez options

1: join a clan

2: play on smaller clan servers, usually around the 14 player range. They can be bigger, but make sure that the server is populated with clan members of that clan. Believe me, playing marines with over half the team consisting of a single clan leads to great games where marines actually don't lose.

This is what I say going into commander with a team of idiots:

"We can win VERY easily, just do NOT think for yourselves. Do NOT assume you have a good idea. I am here to think for you. Do what I say, and we will win."

suprisingly, it works most of the time, too. You just gotta show them whos the commander around here <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

other than that, I give out health packs when they ask. Even if they aren't getting what they want, they don't feel ignored or get too **obscenity**. its crowd control at 2 rs a pop.

Trevelyan_006 · December 2002

when can we start hunting down the crappy commanders and kill them?

"Some one good take command"

"I got it"

guy hops into CC

lol

Zevensoft · December 2002

I'd agree with the OptusNet servers, about 75% of the people who play on them are regulars, and I'm starting to remember some of their names, which is good, because then I now who to trust. Strange thing is, server #2 seems to always be the most busy, and I've never seen a single player on #4...

It's just a question of finding a decent server. Once you do, keep goin there. You'll get known and eventually(shock, horror) make friends.

It really improves the games when you know the marine who's head you've just bitten off <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

The server I usually go on has a fair range of skills on it, decent people and has good admins (I don't know if your even on the forums but you've got a good server JoeSoap <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>). I had to go through a couple of 'average' or rubbish servers to find it though.
