onas is beastmode, fuckin shit up as aliens

aliens feel almost like you are playing a scout in tf2

while looking through a toilet paper tube

i find the alien special sight makes things 100x better

agreed, onas is fucking awesome though

im a terrible alien though

33 minutes into game
commander: ok, getting armor 1

learned about the value of upgrades yesterday when playing with dan and getting killed in 1 alien bite

yea, its p dramatic

just played a game where 20 min we were confined to our base, aliens throwing ones at us. commander rage quits, new guy gets in, we systematical start taking rooms back, aliens are fucking horrible at attacking at once apparently, we eventually win in a 50 min game

good times

how do you tell how well your team is doing during the match

expanding, holding ground, no losing and retaking the same point only 2 points away, getting second command spot locked down. im far more familiar with the marines though, and its just a feeling. did they get ones before you even have jet packs? are skulks killing you in one hit?

i mean from a tactical standpoint

realizing you are behind because youre getting killed in 1 bite doesnt exactly help you decide what to do strategically

you skipped everything else i said. stop that.
look at the map. how much do you have, are you effectively holding it? for marines phase gates are huge, are people using them to get to points to defend? is your commander building things that help you keep important points? are the aliens being effective at hit and run, making you run back and forth?

looking at the map, its hard enough to find where you are and how to get to another place

do buildings even show up on the map other than main command centers?

and is there a resources/minute ticker or something so you can tell if you are gaining or losing ground?

yes

no, if aliens were attacking your spaceship would there be a meter showing their progress?
!

huh

im certain you just dont comprehend my reply to your comment

and resources are not an "us or them" event. sometimes no one gets them.
also resources explained

right, i want to know how many of the resource generating buildings are up for each team, which is the resources/minute rate

yes, your map shows this. no, there is no meter. pew pew.

it angers me when we dont lock down the second comm chair, then spend the rest of the game running back to the same spot to repair it
