What is the Longest Round you've seen

[Vispain]

So, this topic came up during a game and there are varying numbers of the longest round so I figured it would be interesting to know the longest round people have seen. Personally the longest, intense, round I've seen was almost six hours.
What is the longest round you've ever seen? Was it just delaying or was it actually intense (mostly) the whole time?

Thank you

8 fucking hours
and 21 minutes.
marine major

edit1: intense

[Skysoldier]

5 hours and 40 ish minutes.

ICE COLONY BABY

it was also a surprise marine major because it was low pop and like, it was that time of the day where people started logging in.

There was a god awful few days on Ice Colony where we were routinely seeing 5+ hour rounds. Deadchat was frequently muted due to salt.

I think the longest of that stretch was probably close to 6 hours.

[Gerald888]

the longest round i had was almost 6 hours

[Nicboone]

i believe just past 6 hours, maybe about a year and a half ago.

9-ish? Sulaco rounds could be LONG.

EDIT- Back when cloning was in, on lowpop, like, ACTUAL lowpop, you'd have pushes where the sole reason for the push was to retrieve viable bodies so we could build up the man-power to attack.

Someone gets hugged and dies, and then is cloned. BOTH sides would get a new life.

Repeat until abomb of one side or another.

The longest I ever saw, was 6 hours. We started at 10PM and went till like 4AM.

It was on big red, in the end it was so bad we got special permission from ares ((No admins to do admin stuff just mods)) to deploy all ship side crew. So MPs, CTs and MTs and doctors all geared up and formed this rag tag band of POGS and killed the last two ayys.

Almost hitting a 6 hour round on big red.

Someone came in and told the Queen about the flank by T-COMMS. The round ended shortly after that.

8+ hours, back on LV. Near Constant combat, I was alpha SL, defending LZ1. We had one of the better BO's that round, who figured out how to communicate with us, when comms went out, despite every other BO running around like a headless chicken. We eventually got pushed back to retreat, then we waited in the hangar for the xenos to come up, and blasted them away. Marine Major.

[Bojangles]

Prison Station, big Delayyliens. Marines had won by a longshot, but the 3 remaining non-queen xenos decided to extend the round to 5-odd hours.

Edit: from the 4-odd-hour mark when we had them beat

Haven't been around an incredibly long time. Longest round I've seen so far was the other day at a length of 5:34 on LV-624. Wasn't there for the round as I'd only just got home from work and logged on to witness the final xeno push and victory

[Bigchilly]

You see cloning was really cool mechanic back in the day, because insted of fighting for actual ground lategame, marines would make daring pushes to recover a SL or spec, mind you back then xenos could remove your shit
and hugger combat was toxic and if there was nobody smart on the team nobody would get cloned.

edit: there was a extended round that went for around 9 hours im preatty sure

[manezinho]

Six hours on old LV-624. It got real laggy.

[Kwin_Original]

I remember a round that lasted like six and a half hours. I wanted "just one round" before being productive, but spend all the day in the end. 11/10 would do again!

[Simo94]

I remember a 6 hours round, it went something like this: it started in low to dead pop, marines almost win but fail to finish off xenos, this happened a couple times as xenos slowly and painfully revive the hive, then almost winning but the round shifted to high pop times which means a good stream of late joins.


morale of the story, like a wise man told me once ''real men dont pull out.'' (he had 12 kids)

[conthegodoffire]

6 hours for me.
There is nothing like playing as a doctor when the fucking medbay is full for a good 5 out of 6 hours
