Marines meta huggers, eggs, xeno abilities, xeno tiers (eg. rush a drone, but not a sentinel), tunnels and immediately shoot xenos on first contact. Xenos meta the laser, OB, mines.
I can attest to that points:
Huggers and eggs: actually no, if we go by percentages, more marines get hugged by egg/carrier than actually destroying then. Legit, marines 85% of time get hugged first before we get a general comms saying the eggs are filled with parasites. and even then, it needs to be a general hugging, like 6-8 marines for this to happen.
xeno abilities: the acid glob is...well, acidic. one marine hit by it get paincrit and fall on the ground so fast that it's about reflexes. like, you are hit by acid, you mvoe as fast as you can from this place, and EVEN THEN there are marines that fall for it.
Even the queen screech is something marines fall for before being reported (and even then, praes and queens are so equal in sprites they just shoot both of then equally)
Xeno tiers: bro, between a drone and a sentinel that, if you don't have any medium-long range weapon you can't barely see and shoot, I will pick the drone. Since I CAN ACTUALLY see the bastard coming towards me. Also, what even a drone is doing in the battlefield?
tunnels: yeah. I hate tunnels. My IC reason is that I want blow up rabbits. I am that dick as XO.
shooting xenos at first contact is done only by dumb baldies. also, upon landing, there are always a young runner (420) rushing marines and slashing then for gods know's why.
