    I'm trying to make it a thing. I might make backgrounds for marines and the other 4 lifeforms.

    When you go on a sole mission to destroy alien harvesters and a team mate comes with you only to knife / weld said harvester...

    Because we have all the time in the world to be doing that... :/

    23 seconds to kill a harvester with an axe. 23 seconds to kill a harvester with level 0 lmg. 23 seconds to kill a harvester with level 1 lmg. 21 seconds to kill a harvester with level 2 lmg. 18 seconds to kill a harvester with level 3 lmg. Unless you already have weapons 2 or 3, might as well axe so you have the ammo to defend yourself... unless you need to kill it at a distance of course.

    Think of them as bait. Skulk comes in to stop the marine chopping at the harvester, then you kill it. Hopefully you kill the skulk before it kills your buddy.

    Sometimes not. ;) I've been sad a few times that I've had to put the poor skulkie down after it did me such a huge favor.

    Most of the time I would rather use them as bait. Unless they are one of those guys that kills every cyst. One of those guys who say "SSSHHH Don't attack anything" and empties a clip in the hive kinda guys. Then he is just a hindrance.

    I wonder how much more complex this topic would be if we put it in a pub perspective? I am not a bad player, but usually on the low to mid end of pugs when I do play pugs. I have seen other marines try to make me bait in higher level games.

    im not so much bait as an active decoy. I know my place in the pecking order, and it's typically the decoy.

    @beigealert To the defence of stealing SG's in my experience other people get better SG then me. I seem to get the one that doesn't fire strait and had a big glow stick attached to it... I'll get destroyed within 30 seconds of buying my own crappy SG. But when I pick up you shinny nice one I'll go for a 20+ streak!!



    -when ninja GT/PG is finished and the first thing they do is attack the nearest cyct or power node....

    When you say "stay in the GT you make noise when you get out". And when the "accidently" come out they go back in...

    When your shift walking and joe shmo comes running up to you... And waits for you to go in first...

    I don't make myself bait, I know better. I do know the pecking order too. I was just trying to keep the terminology the same from low level pubber to pugs.

    if it's a pub, I'll usually just yolo it, and I rarely travel with company. they can't bite shit anyway.

    Nothing irritates me more than when you're sat round the corner waiting to trap a fade and your marine buddy is like "OH HEY. YEAH THEM FADES EH? HATE 'EM. SAY UHH, I'LL JUST STAND HERE NEXT TO YOU AND WE CAN TRAP HIM TOGETHER HAH HAH HEH"

    I hate it more on the alien side. Another skulk biting an rt, you hide to ambush a marine and as soon as the marine comes the skulk stops biting and jumps right into the corner you're hiding in.

    You know your teammates bad, when 3 of you are on the other side of the wall the skulks are on, you look at your team and they got shottys, so you run in with LMG, and try to pull all the skulks towards you, by the time you look back your teammates are gone. And your dead.

    I just had that work for my on tactical gamers. I was in gravity with three marines. We each had shotguns. A fade was moving by the door now and again trying to, I don't know, intimidate us. The third time he tried this, which was in seconds, we rushed him and nearly killed him. The commander places an armory, two guys go build and I hid in the little corner next to the stairs for the fade to come by. The one of the marines comes stands next to me. I tell him to move, but it is too late. The fade was going after him. We each got a shot in, the fade fleed up the stairs. I ran up one more shot, dead fade.

    When nobody on your team has an icon. Not one. The other team? They have 30 icons over 8 players.

    I know a lot of good players without icons. I play without any icons most of the time although i got some...
    Also it doesn't show your teammate is bad, it just shows that players on the other team spent money and/or time by playtesting, maptesting or squat5ing.
