What is the best thing to do in CM?

Post by TehSpoderman » 28 Aug 2017, 01:28

For me, it will have to be cuckshotting a xeno. Feels so good...

Stunning five people in a few seconds as an ancient spitter while you watch the hunters and ravagers rip them apart.

Crush the Xenos, see them driven before you, hear the lamentation of their Queen.

Watching a xeno go crit, then die. Warms my heart.

Field executions and Executions, Marine's deaths (Fucken hilarious some ways marines die by Antag roles or xenos sometimes), whenever a xeno dies.
"Young Carrier (920) (follow) hisses, "Shut up both of you or we aren't going to invade disneyland."

Long time ago, I, Ka'Torag-na Halkrath, Skilled Master Hunter Of Prey, Unleashed an unspeakable evil upon Xenos and Humans! But a foolish Xeno Hunter wielder of robustness stepped forth and opposed me. Before the final blow was struck, I tore a gate of Salt of Solitude and flung em into the world of CM, and took out their Facehugger Capabilities! Now, this Xeno Fool seeks to return the favour, and undo my evil reign and of many other predator predecessors!

Saving someone's round with defib timer resets on the way back to the ship and medbay.

That, or pulling off difficult saves in general. Dragging someone with three broken limbs and fractured ribs out of a boiler cloud to get them up and fighting again never gets old.

The second best thing for me is healing a dead person/extremely fucked up person back to full health.

Watching a runner sit at a window taht I can corner shoot at and cuckshot them to death. Its always so funny and appealing to watch. Their salt must boil when they get killed by the Pinko of Shotguns

Setting xenos on fire with incen bullets and watching them panic and run away. Sometimes Ill shoot a runner or hunter with my 9mm and they'll just book it instead of killing me when they reallly could just tank the DOT from the fire and kill me.

Another good thing is defibbing someone, getting them into stable condition, doing surgery on them and seeing them back at full health.

Then seeing two possible outcomes-

Seeing them murder the crap out of that hunter that's been trying to snipe you during the past 3 patients

Or the more likely scenario

Dead just outside your screen after rushing back in

Watching the ling I'm hunting down die over and over again to my plasma fi- wrong server.

When xenos accept my offer to duel them with my machete.
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

When you pull a paincritted dude out of the way of a crusher at the last second and throw them on the DS just as it takes off and you sacrifice yourself holding the LZ.

Haha, no, just joking, the best thing in C.M. is when someone gets blown up by an entire G.L. magazine's worth of grenades because a specialist wanted to kill a hunter on top of them.
