Stressful: When you are running the same direction an MP is going and they pull out their tazer.

Frustrated: When you watch marines do the help shuffle in Boiler gas, only to then watch as the first one and then the second one vanish towards the hive.

Stressful: Playing a medic that is cut off with 3 dead marines and the alien hive outside as you try to get your meatshi...friends back up and into the fight, while the hive is right outside.

Sometimes I wish there was a rule where you had to follow your superior's orders. That way, playing commander is fun because you can do what you want for once instead of bending down to what the marines want. If feel like a competency rule should go along with it just to scare off baldies, at least until they play other roles more and get a better understanding of the game
The downside to that is that it would make marines hate command more than they already do.

Being a CO is an underappreciated job, even back in the ol' days.
Sometimes, bravery comes from the most unlikely sources.

Sometimes, the Commander isn't the hero they wanted, but the one they deserved.

That being said, it's a little stressful trying to slam out a final announcement over the Command Terminal before the dropship rams right into the CIC, leading to the immediate butchering of every person above Ensign.

Frustrated: When you tell the SO the OB cords 5 times to make sure he gets them right and he somehow screws them so bad that the HE OB hits the tank 30 meters behind the battle, destroying it and the medical center the medics have set up.

Was that when someone dropped artillery on LZ-1? Or did this happen -Twice- yesterday?

Frustrated: When you are in a mass of marines making a push, yet someone behind you quite in a middle of the mass still somehow panic-shoots his slug shotgun...straight into your back.

Stressful: When attrition works so hard against you on the marine side that you are quite literally one of the few left standing while there is a giant mass of wounded retreating, leaving you and a few others to cover thy asses.

Frustrating:

Getting FFed by point blank buckshot that basically fucks you for the rest of the round. Shoot the baldie with a pistol once.

Stressful:

Bwoink.

Frustrating:

Medics coming to "help" you with your patient, causing huge OD's.

Stressful:

Stealing a Security Headset and sabotaging the Brig power... while Jack Knight is CMP.

Even how good medic you are but when someone was trying to help or steal your patient and got OD you are really fucked so bad because other players will call you a damn "baldie or insult" and what is the effect? They won't trust you anymore. I have OD someone yesterday cause alphatards trying to help meh even though I don't need it all.

Super frustrating when you are healing someone behind the front lines, then a Runner runs up, you get help intent shuffles by a PFC, and FFed in the back.

I just want to revive the squad leader man...

Frustrating: Being permanently locked at a five to eleven second ping-pong the entire round.

Stressful: Being the Commander during this round, suffering from the God-awful puns and sex jokes of my CMO.

Relief: CMO has her arm magically fly off in arc because of this.

Frustrating: When you're an SG and people keep pushing while reloading or in the perfect suppressing fire position.

Stressful: When you're dumping your mag covering a retreat, counting the bullets because you know if you hear a clicking sound you're dead in the water.

Relief: When you and other marines/the tank actually coordinate so downed/stunned xenos can actually be killed instead of dragged off.
Usually playing as Darwin 'D.J.' Jefferson, PFC (Private: Flare Carrier), or Smartgunner almost always out of ammo. Occasionally an RO who yearns for death, dealing with rampant jackassery of his coworkers.

Frustrating: Getting FF'ed by a baldie.

Stressful: Successfully returning the burst after saying, "Woops sorry mate."

Relief: Living in peace and without any bwoink in your ears.

Yes, but only when it’s Heinz on ice. You know it’s about to be a quick win, just which side get’s beaned is the question.
