<div class="IPBDescription">Pressing F4</div> Looking through the f4 thread, somebody mentioned if the aliens killed all the structures in the marine base and left an ip up(or one marine alive to rebuild the ip) as lame. Usually, when I'm playing alien and I notice or hear that we are taking down their base I tell them to keep one ip up or not to kill the last marine.
Now, it depends on the status of the game. If we have fades/2 hives/3rd hive going up, then yeah, I have no qualms about seeing the game end. But if we're in the early stages of the game still(i.e. first ten minutes or so with 2nd hive in the process of going up) then this is when i say don't end it. I think good marines still have the chance to come back and make an interesting round.
So, do you guys think this could be considered lame or no?

"Leave the IP, lets have fun with them" crops up, thats lame.
Means that you get to play the same map - due to time limits on servers
Another issue of kill **** -- getting score up against an undefended team.
So in short, yeah, not finishing is pretty lame.

Not worth doing that sort of thing :/
My worst experience of this was two days ago in a game on ns_Nothing. Us aliens had all 3 hives and everyone was Onos and as we killed off their entire team and bashed up most of the structures apart from the comm chair and the last remaining IP, two of the Onos' blocked anyone from getting to the IP so that they could just stand there and bite anyone spawning back. After about 5 mins all the marines F4'd, and i can't blame them. The game was basically won before we even touched any structures in their base so i think it's very sad that some people find it fun to rack up spawn kills rather than begin a new game.
they don't
this meens that they have lost all advantages and you have claimed em.
they have no external RTs (or internal if you killed their start RT)
thay have already spent crucial rez, and time, on buildings that you have already destroyed
and while this is happening your tubby has already been claiming more RTs unmollested, and probably is almost at hive 2
so think about this
marines srat with less rez and aliens start with more as well as 2 hives, sound fair? I tihnk now <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
end the game, don't EVER prolong it.
corection, I have prolonged 1 game, but that was on a fun map where the marine COULD have dominated by simply jp/gl/hmg rush, but we decided to have fun (and nearly lost b/c of it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
Otherwise the marines are in for a really rough and not so fun game.
Best to start on even footing.
2nd hive going up?
"omg Leave the ip, give rines a chance" -LAME!!!!
the whole freaking base down, and 2nd hive going up! not a chance!
unless rines got weapon lvl3 and 200 res <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
this way theres still a game to be had.
but if you've got dcs already, and second hive close, its silly to let them live <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
A lion would not bite every antelope on the leg just so that it wouldn't have to hunt as hard later...
The exceptions :
- If your team is doing something that you do not approve of or want to waste time on for the sheer purpose of lengthening the game(e.g. sitting by the armor and grenade spamming), then its fine to leave.
- If you enter into a game late-game and get stuck in a situation you do not like, its fine to leave.
If you are just plain losing then you should stick it out the extra 5 minutes and wait till game over to leave.

My word of advice, find a server your comfortable with and stick to it. There are more than enough servers that go either way, so make a choice.
Thank you and good night.

Give the man a cookie! Didn't we just have this bitter arguement last week. The second it finally gets to page two someone has the gaul to make a whole new topic about it. Let it die. If you want to F4 from fades feel free, it leaves more for the rest of us. If you want to sit there insisting "WE CAN COME BACK" while the aliens sit next to your IP's ready to eat your face with onos... have fun waiting.
But please... go do that and stop posting about how people who don't do it your way "have no honor" or "waste your fun/time." The rest of us are sick of these threads.
