In all seriousness though, I fully intend to exploit the hell out of this with a friend today. I think that instant death for any alien caught in the comm chairs grasp should be brought back.

    That shouldn't be possible. As a skulk I've been inside in a closing chair several times (after eating the marine that had been trying to get in), and every single time the chair just opened back up again.

    Heck, even as a marine: If you hit the welcome button and hope out through doors as they're closing, the chair just reopens.

    It is highly unlikely that it would ever occur in open, normal gameplay. However, it can happen, and if you have someone on the other team who wants to make it happen, it becomes a whole lot easier.

    Oh, and there does have to be a marine commander. If there isn't one the chair will just open up again.

    A friend of mine got stuck in the chair like that as a skulk on Veil. The comm was too afraid to get out while my friend was eating the comm chair from the inside. A couple marines were welding it from the outside, and this went on for about 4 minutes. Then one of the marines moved a little and actually began welding my friend from the outside. Of course he died to the welder.

    It was odd, but quite entertaining. The situation had everyone that noticed it laughing over it.

    I got stuck inside the command station as an onos. Could still receive damage (probably a fairly reduced hitbox though) and still attack. The command station didn't open up (until somebody exited it I think?).

    Playing as a skulk, I've ended up in a closed comm chair as well, after chasing a marine in it. I just killed the marine, and the comm chair opened up again.

    This occurs when the marine entering the CC isn't killed by the "visiting" alien. One the CC is fully closed, the marine poofs. The alien remains trapped.

    Kinda wish they brought back CC kills. had a few funny moments when I would get out of CC during an attack. If an onos started to charge for me, I'd hit the CC and jump away. With a little luck and timing the onos ends up in the CC as it closes.

    One.
    Dead.
    Onos.

    :D
