Usually getting stunned by something.

Sometimes getting gang banged by a few hunters.

The #1 way xenos get me is by dragging squadmates away

I always follow the SL if I know who they are, because marines usually stop following at first contact. As soon as the SL goes down 9/10 times there wont be another good squad leader. Ive got to admit, its gotten me 5/10 times trying to protect them because some of them are ballsy as hell.

Then 3/10 times queen.
1/10 some other marine fucks up and gets me killed.
1/10 or (6/10 if you consider me following the SL as my fault) I fuck up majorly and get killed.
I play as Artemis Borovetski.

Leading a charge as the SL comes with a guaranteed risk of getting focused down by the aliens, solo screeched or dragged off after a screech. Which is usually how I die in my SL rounds. But it's worth it-- with enough recognition some marines will even die to get you back.

Most of the time I die to Queen screeches, really. Or I get shot in the back by my spec (who is usually scout or pyro) and gets me killed.

I tend to play carefully as a marine. I play loads of beno, so I know at literally any moment something could come flying out of the dark to rip me a new one in some wild, crazy fashion.

The only real time xeno behavior has caught me off guard was the time a Hivelord surrounded Tfort without us knowing it. When we started to run with our shit in tow, we were greeted by a two layer thick resin wall...

Ancient runner is a meme until it gets hit. But that is pretty hard to do with some players.

You can give a smartgun to every marine, and they would still find a way to FF with it.

RNG tackle. I hate that every single opening you may have against benos can be shut down by one click, from any benos with disarm intent on. Worse is when they get stupidly lucky and manage 4 RNG tackle in a row, completely stopping you from doing anything.

With time you might acquire enough wisdom to understand that the STRONGEST marine player cannot do anything against DECENT xeno player. Game mechanic wants it

I rarely go down by T3's, but those screeches and hunter/runner flanks get me everytime. I guess also overconfidence seeing the xenos pull back, I charge.

I play Beno more then I play marine (Though I still play a lot of each), and I know that this is 1. True and 2. That a flamer with a mag harness can wreck a runner trying to drag you off.

1. excessively long tackle time from a t3, giving enough time for random t2 or t1 benos to come finish me off

2. neurotoxined/pounced near friendly marines, still get dragged off

3. trying to save marines, just to get killed on the retreat or by the person I saved's incompetence

4. other marines

5. my own mistakes (overextending, slow reaction time, etc)

One one round I got shot in the frontlines, so I had to walk back to get healed. I got shot again on my way back and had to be dragged to a medic. I was OD'ed on QC and had to be defib'ed and evac'ed. I reached medbay, in where I was OD'ed again on QC by a doctor and died again on his operation table, until the CMO finally came to fix me.

Xenos getting you? Hah! They are dangerous as kittens when compared to the marines.
