When Command said on Briefing that one squad is making FoB in Tcomms and after deploying most common question in general channel is "Where is the FoB?"

When Command said on Briefing that one squad is making FoB in Tcomms and after deploying some idiots from other squad begin fortifying Nexus.

When Command said on Briefing that one squad is making FoB in Tcomms and after deploying SL of said squad orders to make FoB in Nexus instead.

When Command said on Briefing that one squad is making FoB in Tcomms and after deploying said squad goes "on patrol" — goes to river and starts chasing aliens across the river.

It's code for "you'll fuck up"
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

When someone ices the only CT or Doctor

Marines rioting because they didn't get the miniscule stat boosts for the guns they'll lose within a half hour of deployment

Lining up the perfect sniper or SADAR shot, then having a baldie wander in your LoF at the last second so you end up murdering the fuck out of them

That one or two second period after you free yourself from a nest where you cant use items or move, which xenos use to pop in and tackle you down again

Suicide bombing the ayys when you're about to die, only to have the explosion do virtually no damage

Crushers that stand in one spot, plinking off all your shots and you cant do dick about it

Crushers can be damaged even when they're standing in one spot. It is a matter of deflection chance. Crushers are like chains, if one is inconsistent with the others then keep shooting until they bleed, because to quote Arnold Schwarzenegger;
If it bleeds we can kill it. - Predator

you can do something about it.unless they're in a position where both sides are covered(if they are its highly likely its by resin walls) move to the side and get some shots at an angle. These shots hit the side where the deflection shots are a lot worse(if there's resin walls shoot them first of course)

When people who are dying run from you while you're a medic. When people drag injured away from you. When people PULL INSTEAD OF FUCKING GRABBING. (Just a note, I understand pulling if there is real immediate danger.)

Ancient spitters, holy shit.

Some of these projectile angles, also holy shit.

Fellow xenos who, while you're in critical with no marines around, leave you to die.

People who don't talk at all, or ignore in-game chat because they're busy memeing in LOOC.

Standards who touch my mines when I'm engineer.

Standards who run into my e-grilles and complain about it.

Runners who try to kill hugged marines. Like, damn, I just want a 60-xeno round.

EDIT: Actually, the worst has to be when a hunter/runner pounces me. Fellow marines shoot at it, which is nice, but keep shooting after I get back up. Tempted to macro "rest", to be honest.

But what really gets me, is when people get mad at Bill Carson being CO, when in reality he's not half bad, and I'm generally one of two SL's that will actually ever willingly listen to him.

People who do not know what they are doing but also refusing to accept any help or admit that they need it.
Troublesome, as usual.

When half PFC's run off to the fighting.

When "Fortifying" equals two flipped tables then fucking off.

When Marines outnumber Xenos 5 to 1, Xenos have over 30 braindead larva, and then they all high five eachother about how good and badass they are.

When the SL does no leading and acts like a PFC.

When medics don't know what they are doing and completely ignore the bleeding out marine screaming for help as they pace back and forth then drag you to a corner and leave you there to die.

When no one RPs.

When people try to shoot SADAR rockets OVER obstacles.

When someone drops a grenade in the middle of a group, for whatever reason.

When the CO goes to the planet just to rambo and gets metagrudged and dragged off to some obscure xeno dungeon.

That one old man that USED to run around as Engineer building retarded table forts and developing relationships on a questionable level with sentry turrets. Now I run around as someone equally stupid, doing equally stupid shit as a Medic. Oh and Pookie, that's also me.

http://prntscr.com/grdigl I totally succeeded in that btw, it was a badass kick-flip.

To be fair that is literally the one job of a caste of sentinels and the worst thing they can let hosts do is go on a rampage behind lines.
