your best marine and xeno roles?

Post by CubeJackal » 09 Jan 2016, 20:17

post which job you excel at most for both sides and give us a little insight as to why. personally, i'd say that i'm a pretty efficient requisitions officer and a pretty effective hivelard, since i'm into logistics and constructions more than i'm into direct combat.

SL, can lead a great counter attack and fuck the xenos hard in the race situation that people stick together and follow my orders
Carrier/ravager, quick moving and can do lots of damage in a short period, kind of squishy but i can generally avoid getting shot

Marine job: Corporate Liason being a shady motherfucker, or Maintenance Tech.

Xeno job: Carrier, because there is usually 100+ eggs laid in a round, or Queen which 95% of the time ends in a Xeno Major Victory.

Definitely a doc/medic since they're the only roles I ever play. I just really enjoy keeping people in the round for some reason. Also, all the peridaxon pills to the medics.

Most combat roles.

The medic is rare for me as I don't see myself as a dedicated medic.

And the odd time is being a doctor or command staff.

Squad Engy because it gives me delusions of grandeur and far more bombs than I should have.

For xenos I've been playing a lot of sentinel but I think Hunter is probably still my favorite. The rush of ambushing and dragging off a marine never gets old.

Marines: Specialist because you're special and nobody gets the same weapon as you.
Xenos: Crusher. Mhm. As a Crusher I destroy walls in order to flank marines where they won't expect us.

Marine: Honestly, it fluctuates. Once as SL, I managed to lead Alpha to a sound victory with only two injuries to the squad with enough time to spare to build a second FOB and have a tea party. Other times I'm so incomprehensibly shit that I'm the first to die.

Xeno: I'd like to think I'm good at the hunter caste, but I have a lot more fun playing as a boiler, even if it is a bugged caste.

Marines: A good BO. Overwatch is my love and joy. Smartgunner and regular marine too I suppose.

Xenos: Sitting around the hive watching poor infested marines as a Sentinel or spitter is nice and relaxing. Might aswell put the entire sentinel line here, as praetorians with pheromones are kickass, and rotational boiler fire ruins all the FOBs.

Marine: Doctor. I love the advanced medical system, even though it's getting really repetitive. Alien: I can't pick between hunter or ravager, I love setting up ambushes and getting quick thrills out of subduing Marines, but as a ravager I get to perform quick hit and run attacks, and doing as much damage as I can in a small time frame is fun. I test myself.

As a Marine I tend to play as a Specialist, I can't resist the allure of a SADAR. Otherwise I enjoy being either a Combat Medic or a Medical Doctor.

As Alien, well...

Im a dedicated medic, if theres no spots for that i usually just go standard or doctor.

Crushers for xenos, you dont die from a few shots which appeals to me.

I like being a combat engi and spitter.
Combat Engi because I like being in a support role and able to be selective about engaging the ayys, while not being as precious as a medic.
Spitter because, again, it's a support role and I just enjoy the feeling of spitting at someone to see him be systematically facehugged and dragged off by a runner.
