I lost an arm, but we survived, so I suppose I didn't do -too- poorly, considering command gave me aSL back when I got back from medbay, we organized a push and then won. But that was probably because of other marines being more competent than I.
That's something I'd first have to learn, I'm pretty sure I'd cause a loooot of deaths by poor coords. Maybe I could dip into a PFC engineer kit and put down cades sometime. I know a lot of times when we're pushing, I'm thinking that a barricade or two would be helpful.
A good plan, yeah. Especially if there's unsecured side routes we could get flanked by.
Yeah, I do that. Especially now that I learned that clicking on a tile (not mob) next to you doesn't fire a weapon. That's a huge QoL thing for slicing weeds with a bayonet. Still gotta be careful when slicing weeds and not click in the center, in case a marine decides to walk right in front of me and into an accidental PB.
Hell yeah, I've been in Bravo a lot in the earlier rounds, having tons of fun on guard duty. My best one was guarding East of LZ1 on LV, mostly alone there, mostly quiet, but occasionaly I got a spitter harassing me. Every few minutes I was calling out my status and how everything is okay (mostly just for myself cause I was bored not having anyone to talk to, but also cause I thought it'd be useful) and when an attempt at a push happened at my guard post, all it took was one yell for help and six marines arrived within 10 seconds.
