<div class="IPBDescription">Bigger guns = smaller brains</div> Havent you always noticed that more HA/HMG die late game around 2 or even 3rd hive assault?
At the start of the game everyone is very careful, once the upgs come they become more stupid

Nope, once the armoury is dropped the humping begins. I've nailed more than enough LA to realise smacktards are there from the beginning - giving them guns just makes it more obvious.
that should be the most worthless players Ive ever heard of...Not even super-ultra players do that...

a smart marine is a marine that has ammo, whats more stupid ? almost dying from having lots of ammo, or dying on the reload?

I say that what is more stupid is the fact that spending time getting ammo instead of phasing to say a hive is dumb, you lose time and waste res on the base...

100 LMG bullets + 20 pistol bullets is A LOT, unless you want to take down buildings with it or you plan to kill 5+ skullks... I hate those people who will, no matter what, hump up to 150+ lmg bullets in reserve. They probably will dy without reloading anyway and they have just wasted 3 seconds. This gets especially annoying when a phasegate is under attack and several people keep humping the armory: "MUST HAVE AMMO!!!!111"
Whenever i get very low on ammo and am in an unimportant position i just type "kill" in console and teleport right back to main base with ammo... If it's some important location a good commander will answer the "no ammo" call.

Depends on your team. Overconfidence can be a deadly thing to have.

I got to admit though some marines think they are invincible with a HA/HMG and will get into situations they can't deal with, whereas a LA would be aware they are a stupid mistake away from being skulk bait.
Edit: This turned into a flame-post, so I changed it to be more friendly.
other than that. ammo is good but only take half at the beginning.. but when they have carapace or if u encouter a lerk.. then get full or close to it.. so u waste 2 clips on the lerk.. and then u can kill more things.
for the ha/hmg thing... ppl are stupid and dont stick together.. thats how they die.. if there was 2 together i highly doubt they would die to a skulk unless they are really nubcaekzor!
For some reason, even if I have more kills then anyone, im the last to get armor or a weapon while everyone else has something. So normally i'll sit there and watch each HA get their ammo, and one will go out to the left, then the next one will go to the right, and the next will wait about 10 seconds then move out like they are all invulnerable.
A little off topic, but something that pisses me off as marines is clan members who think just because they have a tag, they are the best. I was playing on Bio last night, and no one wanted to be the commander, so I jumped in. Dropped down my normal stuff, had two marines guarding, and sent everyone else to go cap some res and kill aliens, as they did. Well this one guy, who I've never seen before, keeps yelling in the mic "Oh he sucks lets kick him everyone kick him now" since the very beginning. Finally I just say "go ahead, you do it if your so great" and he jumps in, and continues yelling for everyone to go to the waypoint. To get him to shut up, I grabbed some ammo and started heading towards the other marines way ahead of me. On the walk, I get jumped by two skulks and die, who continue to the base and take it out, two minutes after the new commander took over. Suddenly, its all my fault and " You suck at defending base, you were on the TF the whole time" while I was half way between marine start and Bio. The whole point of this? nothing, Im just sick of people who are "the best and will bring the marines to a victory" just because they have a clan tag.
Edit: P.S. There are some people out there who will add nonsense tags to their names so that others notice them.
Sometimes people do blame you for something completely insignificant, like sitting there getting ammo, or not phasing immidiately, well its just a game, so if you lose a phase gate, big deal, just phase faster next game...
This thread changed into one about stupidity of marines....
I think that once the commander drops any weapons, people will scramble to them, a sign of a true vet would be to ask once they have a two hive lockdown and nice res flow, not when there are onos'es outside of base, and one rt....

Personally I always try to make it so I can see the entrances... Though I find that getting on top of the armory normally works really well for this. Get on top, crouch, look at entrances, and angle down a little, and hit e...
One interesting this is that with the armory heal mod servers, you can hit and hold E next to an armory, and it will heal you. You don't need to actualyl be looking at it. (good for lerks)
