What grinds your gears besides dying?

[Crab_Spider]

The title says it all. What makes you salty? What makes someones popcorn taste better at your espense? What ruins the health and overall enjoyment of life for both you and the person who has you on the receiving end of their doings?

[CookedPenguin]

When a runner I was fighting hand to hand immediately retreats to grab a hugger and then proceed to hug me.

[NoahKirchner]

When MT's are bad at their jobs.

I meant whenever I'm not a CE/MT

[YungCuz]

When spitters use neruo all the time despite the nerfs and Combat Sentinels.

[Aracino]

When aliens don't know when to kill hugged marines. You'd think after they killed about 6 xenos they'd just kill them. But nope.

[ZDashe]

When the SM blows up before the 1 hour mark

[Dirty Old Harry]

God damned boots that use AP rounds with the M4A1 on burst or the Marines that use buckshot and stand behind you and fire into your ass. Friendly Fire. Just Friendly Fire.

[ZDashe]

When boots drag corpses over the mines which you have placed as an engineer in plain sight, even after warning them on comms.

[crono23]

When I see someone drag a wounded instead of grab.

Whenever I'm the only doctor.

Whenever I'm the only competent doctor.

When somebody manages to get themselves killed or injured before the marines even deploy.

When marines complaining of a broken leg hound me while I'm trying to save the life of the guy with no lungs.

[TheMusician321]

when i make RnD mines and warn everyone of them over comms but they still die to them and yell at me in LOOC

[Boltersam]

SADAR specs wasting AP on FECKING RUNNERS.

Stop that, you eejits! At least Boris can use (abuse) it properly.

AP is trash when you aren't hunting boilers (which obviously dont do much dodging) everything else except the queen is incredibly likely to dodge the AT rocket.
I AT runners just to clear the tube for a real rocket.


Also, Medics who hide in the FOB so that marines get splashed with acid once, fall paincrit and then get dragged off and infected while the medic cuddles up with the engineers and wonders why their squad is dying 'Just come to tcomms and ill heal you'

Y'know i usually grab a body bag whenever i can even before deployment since i fully expect to come across a casualty and it got called out as meta. I mean it kinda maybe was a tiny bit meta so that i could shove an incapacitated boot in it to quickly evac them cause it pisses me the fuck off when i see someone drag a crit marine around and ends up killing that marine as they're being evaced.

[TheMusician321]

when I claim an OR, set all the tools in 1 spot so I can alt click it easier and some snotty doctor comes in, yells at me for doing it, puts everything back, then uses all the energy from the chem dispenser to make bicardine and kelotane, but not clonex or peridaxon, turns off the freezer and spends 30 minutes on 1 surgery until the marine just straight up quit the game.

sadly this isn't uncommon.

[Aracino]

Atmost, a marine who got straight fucked takes me maybe eight minutes from hanger to end of the surgery. You know, if there isn't a cloning pile up, or 50 marines and their brothers in arms BLOCKING EVERY GOD DAMN PATH

[TeknoKot]

Playing as squad leader, saving your own squad, then watching them back the fuck out and leave you to your death or whatever.

I had so many moments and I still get PTSD's from Ice Colony's elevators, killing 7+ xenos and pushing back T3's and Queen just to get my squad to board. Everyone boarded, except me, except fucking me, I was going back and they ALL left me by myself in the underground.

[Jeser]

"We need 4 marines to guard perimeter of the FoB." - no ones guarding whole round.

"Do not spread up, do not chase, do not wonder off" - half of squad is already gone somewhere.

[Jroinc1]

Incompetence.
As MD, MT, or CE, seeing someone who doesn't grasp the BASICS of his job, and won't ask for help.

[Simo94]

when xenos rush B on high pop rounds, we land and theres 5 xenos attacking rasp and hydro is a hive already
when hive status includes dead sisters aswell
when the game ignores my click
when you cant evolve from t1 because the mother fucking hunters and spitters are going ancient instead of evolving to t3s which blocks T3 and T2 slots
when marines know they are shit at killing xenos and try to kill humans instead by trying to start a riot for no reason
when mercenaries are a better help than PMCs somehow
when a marine gets pounced by a hunter and you shoot the hunter but the marine gets shot instead and you are aiming for the chest area aka above the fucking ground, tell me how that logic works please
when theres a boiler on the front lines
when xenos go praetorian in general, god fucking damn it praes are so shit even at defending the queen crushers do that better, please go boiler instead
when theres two FOBs like what the fuck nexus alone needs 3 squads to be secured from all 4 sides
when ppl ignore weeds
when specs go sniper but boiler kills half of us
when no one picked SADAR
when no one picked crusher
when xenos rush so hard they are camping both LZs 25min after marine landing and wonder why theres 70 marines left on the sulaco when they attack
when theres 5 ppl fighting in hangar and the rest chilling in briefing and then theres 5 diffrent marines (the previous 5 all died and hugged horribly) fighting in briefing and the rest is chilling in evac pods
when ppl think guarding 4 diffrent ladders is better than guarding 1 hangar
when theres no eggs
when boiler goes for the kill instead of providing a smoke for us to advance
when baldy crusher doesnt know they have to face the bullets
when flames are good for area denial and providing light but the flamer weapon is pathetic, pls add proper flamer spec
when marines take a belt and backpack full of AP mags and get hugged and dragged away 5mins in
when M.O.T.H.E.R is meme'ish and unprofessional as fuck on marine side and queen mother is serious for xenos
when OB is random as fuck and hits screens away killing 23948 marines AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SAOJHFKAJSFHAKSJF'

in my defense, ancient spitters are fucking gods, i'm shit at boiler anyway so it's either have a shit boiler or a prae or ancient spitter god.

[Renomaki]

A select few choices of my own opinion:

When I am shooting at something, but the action cancels because the sprite is moving.

Squads that lack squad leaders.

Being a commander that has no bridge staff.

Being rushed by aliens upon landing.

Cowardly marines that leave sentries behind.

To name a few...

[Martzin]

when I get cuffed while im nested.

FFing.

stupid SLs. seriously learn your fucking job

when there's no specialist in a squad.

when the UI fucks you over whilst in combat. ie. try to two-hand your M41A but have opposite hand selected so you unload a full fucking mag and get pounced

lag. this is one of my biggest sources of salt and pretty much the main reason I die. lag can fuck off.

[Eenkogneeto]

Still 90% medics who are hiding instead of keeping us alive (And yes im aware you are tasked with keeping no less than 15 marines alive on average)
10% supermatter blowing up.
