Marines: Men of valor, or tiny baby cowards?

[TopHatPenguin]

Banter and Sanctum weren't custom whitelisted squads. It was just people, who were in whitelists in, for example, my head. People, who I can trust and who are worth risking my ass to save them.

I just stated they were 'custom squads' not that they required a whitelist, although they did have a similar effect to what a whitelisted squad would have, for example new chaps not really being able to join said squads as it would be full of regulars and then they get stuck in a squad full of fellow new chaps figuring out the game.

My point being yes, it could work as a whitelist squad but it will be hated by the new players as regulars will be in their own 'snowflake' squad where as the new players are stuck with the normal squads and as such resentment would probably build up against the fellows who get into said whitelist squad.

Those are a few of my views atleast and what I believe would/will happen if it gets implemented.

Once i chased a drone with a knife since it tackled me and i lost my gun...a warrior and a praetorian said hi after i gave up...is that brave or stupid?

I only do melee, there is no room for cowardice.

I've seen mixes or sheer stupidity and cowardice constantly, sometimes it's so bad I think: "Yea, maybe cloning needs to be removed because these guys keep setting off landmines."

And other times it's more like:"We have cloning pods, so you can stop hiding under the table and SHOOT!"

Well marines are mostly spooked by unbalanced aliums with their hugger combat and ton of other stuns. At least i am. And i dont really see this on planet, mostly on sulaco. And on sulaco aliens just meta fuck with coms and then marines are lost.. plus even if we kill TON of aliens they comeback with even more numbers.

[Heckenshutze]

It depends on the morale. Sometimes marines just afix bayonets and charge into a certain death and don't give a fuck about it.

And sometimes, they retreat from the planet because 10 xenos and turtle up there with +30 marines

You also need to account for the only way Muhreenz score victories is during lowpop, off-peak hours because when Feweh comes online he spawns infinite Iron Bears at the first sight of a Marine Victory. This is most demoralising to the men when they press that Staff Who button.

[Tranquill]

Most of the time, the Marines are tiny baby cowards or overzealous John Rambos, there is no in-between.

[Kargaroth]

I mostly break and run as a marine because with my slow reaction time I'm ineffective in combat. Occasionally I try to go back for wounded comrades.

[Karmac]

Can confirm, lowpop is when I really go to work as a marine, usuallt as a medic, meaning that even if we dont have Medical, you can rely on me turning you into Splint Man, the man of many splints, instead of just dying because a Runner broke your arm.

If you need to be brave but you're not sure how, here's a simple solution.

I'm legitimately not sure if it's possible to be a pussy when listening to this.

That's one of the lobby music.

Solution: Play the lobby music as ambiance during a fight such as what other stations do in space.
