What do you like to do as a commander that would fall under the category of "guilty pleasures"?

I like it when the PG's getting munched by four skulks and then I beacon and tell everybody to phase and then 4 of them die instantly while the rest slaughter the skulks. There's nothing like unquestioning obedience, especially knowing that they're going to die.

This all being in a GAME, of course.

Sending lone marines to RT's under attack by (an) onos knowing what will ensue.
Closing doors on marines (instakill)

unless the marines decide to start loading up ammo because they dont know what a beacon is and even if they do they dont know what a pg is.



i like to watch an unimportant lone marine dancing with a skulk/gorge/lerk and watching his hp go down. <1 second after he dies, drop a med exactly to the spot where he died.

lowering elevators on your soldiers is also hilarious. (must be one of the reasons i dont win much as comm )

oh, and zooming around the map and hearing a lone gorge build an rt, and clicking the door/elevator/whatever near him and listening the sounds of rushed panic always makes me chuckle.

Back in the day, I'd enjoy dropping a turret on a gorge, having a rine crouch build the turret makeing spit way too innefective vs the borked hitbox, and watching the turret to the work




And I'm sorry but unquestioning obediance is always a nice thing for *one person*

Mash stuff between nancy doors. Anything.

Any door or elevator kills, the higher the lifeform the better.

Anytime I cc block an alien to death.

When I drop myself a HMG, hop out the chair, and solo the fade that's killing the obs.

Beaconing multiple times and switching from hive to hive until the aliens get totally confused and don't know which hive is going to actually be attacked.

I told everyone that if they jumped off the cliff that I would give them a shotgun and a jet pack.

After they all jumped to their death I recycled the IP's and relocated into a vent and hid there for twelve minutes laughing at the dead marines.

idiot


... so immature ...

My guilty pleasure would have to be setting up siege on FF on servers, and tell my marines to rush in and site it, try to get under it, and die to th siege.

That or after a relocate, wait until a gorge drops MS node, and possibly a few OC's, beacon and kill all the wasted res...

muting the whiners on my team, muting the non admin clan members on their clan server and justifying it to the admin members, happily ignoring the whining and ejection attempts of people because "omg no heavy guns" as I tech rush, spamming 50 res in meds to two noob 'rines so they can lmg a fade.

lol the guilty plesures of a commander eh? Well to me is just sending my team on a suicide mission (and at rare times it works!). I guess another one is send in as much and into the area XD of course the aliens wont like it. Also giving all my pawns nade launchers and send them to nade spam the whole area!

At the beginning of a game I will say, First one to the hive gets a shotgun. then I place an armory there wait for the the fastest of them to get there to build it so happy he gets the shotgun, As soon as hes finished building I recycle the armory and drop the RT.

(Note I've only done this twice

That's not very guilty. >_>

Guilty is doing somthing like re-locating under a bunch of vents then going alien once the base is all set up to mass spore.

Whenever I play 1vs1, I find the hive and wait until I hear the pitter patter of gorge feet, and then I drop every single res node on the map cause there's pretty much nothing the gorge can do about it that isn't a complete waste of vital res.

1vs1¡?

Yes, one versus one. As in me against one other person.

ok

just wondering how can a single command chair could fight the Khaara

It could have wheels and robotic arms with boxing gloves !

i just recycle base and drop everyone shotties when my mates are whining about this and that even though we're wining.

interesting thread! ummm..when a sieging attempt gets overrun by kharaa and so i recycle everything to save res....including the pg, letting the marines get humiliated by parasiting skulks.

Congratulating your marines when you've lead them hand in hand through what they need to do

On ns_nancy, I had my entire team suited up with heavies, and told them to walk to mess. I then proceeded to block the vent with a CC and kill about 3/4 of them with the door.

sieging aliens!!! i don't know why they're taking out. sieging aliens is like ++ fun for comm

Completely dominating veil, beacon dropping HAs on the whiners, while the rest gets JPs and SGs. Sometimes there are suicides only 5 seconds later and even more whining aka :"I want a JP and a GL*whine*"

I like to get in and do nothing and when someone tries to vote me out i just get out then back in...it is quite fun.
