Full Version: Good Comm

| Trust me. Leadership in the chair needs to come first. |
I won't go ahead and just 'trust you'. Because I disagree. And I've played enough to think I know about it. I've played under comms who couldn't lead worth horse dung, and who still were very, very good comms. How did they do it? They had help from the marines. A game isn't three teams, the comm, the marines, and the aliens. The comm doesn't have to fight the marines. The comm and the marines work together, which means that the marines make up for the comm's faults. If he doesn't lead, the marines find a way to follow those orders despite. Sometimes a field comm will crop up to handle the load. It doesn't matter. Good comms aren't just one thing, in any case.

It's pointless even arguing this subject.

Yes, that makes sense, so your marines can never hear incoming skulks because in-game voice communication is so crappy.

Given a choice between a comm with great leadership and average strats and a comm with average leadership and great strats, I think, in a pub, I'd have to go with the great leadership.
Leadership means getting the rines to do what you want, and wanting you and the team to do well. That can make up for many shortcomings in the less than perfect plan. Leadership is also key for morale, which plays more of a role than we'd like to admit.

a good comm knows how to control his marines, and doesnt let them or the aliens control himself
he also has a strategy and is capable of changing it on spot
last but not least, meds & ammo MUST come fast. if they dont, marines die, and you lose time. and time is everything in this fine game
if i comm (i only comm pubs) i use text, and i only use the following lines:
get rt's
take mines through pg
go to vent/cargo/cc/double
stay with the sieges

A good comm will know what the aliens are doing, (chamber order) and he can adapt. (IE they go sensory first, rushing armor 1 and two obs's)
For me only thing that matters is that he/she tries he's/her best, thats a good comm for me.

a good comm before would drop me a shotgun now a good comm drops me a hmg?
Yeah, something like that. And I would say good comm has pretty good grasp of the new maps already, e.g. knows where to set up siege and is currently searching for the optimal siege-spots etcetc

In pubs it leadership, in competetive play its experience and strats.
i hear peach is a pretty good comm
Basically if the comm isnt peach he is bad, sad but true 
you get so picky after a while.
