<div class="IPBDescription">annoying for marines, not aliens</div> I think that the most annoying thing is ns for marines is that they rely to much on the commander, whether its getting a new weapon, or asking for a bag of popcorn for the movies, the commander has to do it, which is very annoying if there are many players.
Comments
People not listening to the commander.
No one taking the Comm, then everyone telling the com what to do once someone has taken it.
People making demands on the Comm.
If the Commnader is good , everythings going to sweet.
If not it is very frustrating . Mainly because u know u could be doing better.
I bite my tongue , and wait for the slwow death mostly from acid spray.
Damn acid rockets.

im not a very good commander, and since i really cant do anything except sit, shoot, and die, cant choose weapons, cant get health, cant get anything except ammo and a "Man Down!"
#2 people that whine for hmgs/shotguns/whatever
#3 people that have to have 250 bullets before stepping into the phase gate
#4 people that whine for hmgs/shotguns/whatever
#5 people that whine for hmgs/shotguns/whatever
if im need through a phase gate, ill go even if i just spawned...
Another irritation: not being able to select (and therefore upgrade) certain structures due to them being placed oddly. "What do you MEAN i can't upgrade my TF and siege out the hive?"
Besides often at the beginning of the game I do not rambo, but scout on solo to find out which hive is active.
I´ll inform the comm what I found out and maybe this can be useful to him. I normally try to stay out of fights so they won´t get alarmed if a marine is in alien territory, but sometimes I fail.
Well, it should be allowed to give the comm info or even an advise, but the comm is the boss. He does the last coice.
i also hate it when you get stuck in ns_something, (i think its cages or hera, dont remember), but i spent half the game in the vents because i couldnt jump out, the only reason why i got out was because a fade killed me.
comms who want you to beat down alien forces with lmgs are a pain in the @$$!!! especially when the aliens have fades
Soldiers that when I give them a waypoint the 1st thing is do is not go....
Soldiers that tell me what to do while I'm the comm even though they didn't volunteer to command...
Soldiers that ask for med pack in base because the skulk rush hurt them...(Type kill in console idiot)...
5 soldiers that die from one skulk...
Why I no longer command....damn soldiers... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Commander shortcut keys not working =/
Taking almost a full clip to kill a stationary skulk at close range (as opposed to dying in half a second as a skulk - which is it supposed to be?)
People mining a doorway to hell, meaning they're all gonna explode simultaneously when a lone skulk runs in
I use lerks too much, so I can't fly the damn jetpacks level <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Yes..., that's why I'm a bad commander. Yes, that's it..... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
wtf -> console kill you fool!
"Put a res node here, commander." "Put some turrets here commander." "Put the phase gate in this corner, commander." "No, the corner. C'mon." "No, not ON TOP OF ME."
<!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> He had it coming.
2) Idiots who spend half the game in the respawn begging for a gun, rushes out and dies with it in a few seconds (i believe someone said this though <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )
3) Fades
4) All the nerfing that we're getting :\
5) People that when a hive location is under attack is getting full ammo and/or begging for a gun in the respawn instead of walking through the phase
6) Fades
7) Idiots who think once they get the second hive up that the only way to victory is pressing the "F4" key
8) People who don't follow waypoints, don't try to secure a hive, but try to get kills (even though it doesn't show up)
9) Fades
10) Commanders that use that build outside of the map on Hera and stuff and prolong the game even though they've already lost
11) Did i already mention the people that F4 at the second they start to lose? oh yea...
12) FADES
Thank you and good day.

a) never give any orders
b) never give health/ammo when you're in dire need of it
Sieging the last hive when marines have both heavy armour and heavy machine gun. Where is the glory, honour and thrill of victory in that?
"Oh my, I really got a cramp from building that siege. Any one wants some tea and dunked skulk?"
Aliens can most likely not win anymore when the heavies come marching in, but lets at least keep some excitment in the game.
Looking forward to 1.04 even though does skulks seems awfully hard to kill <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
"OMG", "WTF", "S T F U", "U NOOB".
2. Marines who, after being given a waypoint, insist on standing next to a res node and spamming "RES HERE COMM" and refusing to move unless you drop a resource tower.
3. Marines who have never been comm in their life, insisting you are a bad commander just because you wont give them a Jetpack and an HMG/GL and a Welder with 5 minutes of the match starting.
4. Marines who whine about upgrades 5 minutes into the match.
5. Marines who only use voice comm to ask/demand for health/ammo/welder/weapon etc and refuse point blank to use their right click menu.
6. Marines who play music down their mic.
7. Marines who think that the best way to get what they want from the commander is to get voice comms and swear at everyone constantly.
Hell, <i>anybody</i> who goes "OMG BS!" or "OMG LAG!" after getting killed. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
I think the most annoying thing about playing commander is having to rely on your marines having even a shred of skill in order to carry a win.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
true, most true, but a commander would be much easier if the team didnt rely on him to much, (and if there werent rambos)

Heh, yeah people say that alot...especially when the crouching exploit doesn't work. I run up on the right side and bite at the air behind them, they die in 2 hits. "OMFG BS" "Admin, ban him, he's a cheater!" *vote to kick player AU-Scorpion starts* ......gotta love it! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Or the classic, "I have motion tracking and I didn't see you coming and didn't hear you either! U h4x0r!!" I was behind you and have taken silence as an upgrade, twit...
But this is about marines! Okay, mine would be:
1. Commanders that tell you "S-T-F-U" if you are using voice com...and not abusing it. Just saying things like "Need backup at Eclipse, turret factory down, and several skulks incoming" and such useful warnings to fellow marines.
If you don't want marines to use voice com... disable it and ask them nicely to type...though some things just can't be typed quickly enough.
Example: "Behind us!!"
2. Commanders who have obviously never played an RTS. ("Real Time Strategy" for those less educated in the gaming world)
These commanders normally depend on one tactic they have observed that has worked (Phase rush), and never develop a style of their own or even play around with it. Just because it wins games does not mean it's a good tactic. Alot of statisfaction comes from the idea you actually fought to win it. When people team stack, use lame tried and true methods that guarantee 95% victory odds, fight against people who have no clue what they are doing....they are just sacrificing a good bit of fun for a win.
Secondly they usually don't have a tactical mindset. Leading to building misplacements...skip it...just general loss of resources. Spending money on the turret factory and 4 turrets by a rarely frequented res node that is by no means a critical position....could have instead gotten us an armory and nearly upgraded our weapons and armor a level...helping alot against those pesky skulks of doom.
3. Marines who aren't willing to charge a group of fades and a lerk with only a knife if neccesary. Now, the fades are going to laugh, but that lerk is NOT going to sit around protecting the fades when he has 6 desperate marines charging in wanting to carve him like a thanksgiving turkey.
Hopefully when the umbra clears the marines left over will realise they can now shoot the fades and force a brief retreat.
4. Marines that think they are something because they kill a couple skulks, and when they don't immediately kill a fade they think the fades are overpowered.
In starcraft the marine's worst nightmare was a hydralisk. Alone it could not kill one, and even when fully upgraded it could not kill a single non-upgraded hydralisk. I believe it took 2 stim-packed marines (one dead, one nearly) or 3 regular marines per hydralisk. Why? Because Marines were a 1rst tier unit. They are meant to be cannon fodder and take out the odd zergling that runs rampant. Now Starcraft similarities aside...I think the majority get the picture.
5. People who use awkward weapons just to make themselves look l33t.
If you were in the middle of a fire fight in an urban area, didn't know where the enemy was firing from, but knew that they were using weapons that can take you out in a hit or two. Would your commander think you were l33t for drawing your knife or a combat torch and running through the empty streets? No...he'd think you were an imbecile...
Next time ya think yer gonna save the day and look cool by taking on 3 skulks with a knife while yer buddies are defending themselves and you....think again....that IS beyond stupid. When those skulks finish you and your mates because you couldn't kill one and blocked your friends' fire on them...you will feel really good about that blunder.
6. Whiners. In any unreasonable fashion. And before someone who thinks they have something to prove tries to mouth off and make me sound like I'm saying I've never whined...
7. Marines waiting for you to screw up so they can laugh in your face and act like they are sooooo much better than you. In grammar school those were the guys that left me alone after recieving a bloody nose or a bruised ego. Watch it guys, you give people reasons to hate you and you will suddenly start to look bad. Maybe even that newb this game will knock your socks off tommorrow...and then get in your face about it.
"Stinks and stones can break some bones, but a few choice words can ruin a life." - Spin-doctors' Motto.
8. People who can't shoot a skulk with the lmg. Well I don't hate them...but I do hate it when they insist on using the pistol. Here's a hint: "If you can't hit something with a constant spray of 50 bullets down a narrow hallway...you are probably not going to do it with 10. Learn to aim in a general direction first, then how to pin-point....not the other way around."
9. Bunny hoppers. For me, it ruins the atmosphere of the game.
Walking down a barely lit hallway, a chuckle is heard I creep cautiously to the doorway keeping an "eye to the sky"...and then some idiot comes zooming by, bouncing like a jack-rabbit and the 2 skulks I was being careful not to alert to our presence kill him almost immediately, followed by one of the guys in my group. I'm sorry, but the mood from then on is ruined...it just doesn't work for me.
I say bunny hoppers should be forced to jump everywhere they would normally walk in a day. Just because an exploitation is possible does not mean you should do it....
10. The tenth is expectedly general since there are so many things that really get my goat... I guess I'm hyper-sensitive?
I hate S-T-U-P-I-D people. Not the guys who are just learning the game and maybe haven't read the manual and admit it, and ask for help. I mean the people that are absolutely hopeless. They have no problem solving ability, no sense of humor, no visible personality, no skill, and barely enough brain power to shove pre-chewed food in their mouths, and even then the might have a mashed potato covered eye due to a "memory lapse." (probably why they can't aim the heavy machine gun...as if it requires much.)
Edit: No offense intended to the physically or mentally handicapped. Some of my best friends and gaming buddies have disabilities, but can easily decimate these people that have no excuse, but don't use what they are born with.
I guess the only thing I hate more than that is looking back on an event and thinking about what an idiot I was.

Gah! I hate anybody who crouches like that (vents are another matter, you have no choice), or uses any exploit. I'd much rather lose honestly than win dishonestly in a game.
EDIT: People fresh from 'realism' mods are excused, as often, crouching increases accuracy. Hell, I did it when I came over from DoD. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
