Plague Bringer
I agree with kozak6, this is, for the most part, incorrect. if you take [pro]hummie and newbie#1 and put them on human team, against [pro]alien and newbie#2 on the alien team, the humans will win, so long as they have communication. As I said in a post regarding this topic (might've been a different thread though...) humans lack the coordination
and communication necesary to win most games. Humans are much, much more powerful then aliens, in S2, humans can easily fight off S3 aliens, so long as they know what's coming to attack them and which way it's coming from. A chainsuit relies on a human with a helmet to survive to kill more then one tyrant, they have the protection of a battlesuit and the radar of a helmet. Working together, humans will win nearly all games.
Take an different example. Feed a beginner credits for a BS/Luci combo and take him with you to the alien base in S3. Then take the same beginner and feed him 5 evos for a Tyrant and take him to the human base. Which team will the beginner be more helpful for? On humans, I doubt the beginner would even make it past the base door, if to the base at all.
I was playing in FunZone, and an {mDc} clan member missed his first three barbs in sniping a turret, this proves that not everyone can snipe. Also, although the tyrant has an amazing forward range, a battlesuit can easily strafe around the tyrant with a chaingun and take him out, and this is even easier to do with an advanced goon. Regarding your statement about dregoons and tyrants "obviously" being better then marauders or basilisks, I have taken out more battlesuits with an advanced marauder then with a tyrant or goon, so no, the tyrant or goon is not better then a marauder. I do, however, agree that newbies will be confused for a moment about which weapon to choose when playing S3 humans, but that confusion quickly dissapears after they see a tyrant chaingunned by a chainsuit, or an army of dretches lucified by a luci+batt+larmor+helmet. Newbies quickly learn that "Incoming!" binds followed by a description of what aliens and from which directions they are coming from can save a base. That being said, humans do greatly rely on communication to win games. and humans don't feed? The only saving grace of the human team are turrets (which I pointed out earlier) when it comes to having begineers.
I miss shots with advanced goon all the time. No cross hair and heavy gravity influence on shots. But give me or anyone enough time to compensate and you snipe anything in the base. Most of the time, people miss because they are trying to snipe less than obvious stuff, like an armory behind turrets, rather taking the easy shot at turrets.
A battle suit can not easily strafing around a tyrant. The only human player that can out spin me is Yahoo and that's not even 100%. Its lag, son.
You are complete lying asshole if you tell me that a marauder is better than a tyrant or an advanced goon.
The only reason to use a marauder is to stall humans (exploit any weakness in aim or weapon selection, i.e. they don't' have accurate weapons). After trying to crack a lot of bases, I see that goon are way more effective at it than marauders. Marauders are just good cause they are 2 evos.
Camping is a legitimate tactic when humans can take out the alien base, but need to get rid of the defenders. A camping human team can quikly run the aliens dry of evos and then launch a lucifer/flamer strike against the alien base only having to worry about dretches, so you see, camping humans can, indeed take out a base, they camp until there is no alien defence to worry about.
Its not that easy. If it was, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Please keep on spouting myths because it just keeps people doing the same stupid shit. The only camping works is if the alien suicide every time (which isn't even necessary with advanced goons).
Humans need to coordinate but its harder to coordinate when the team has a very specific weapons that have to be used in specific ways and across different skill levels. I've done the coordination thing and its works only because the good people are the ones working together. In any game, if the good people work together, they win.
