I had a fun game on biotics last night.
I started the game as sharpie. Finished wave 1, switched to support, finished wave 2. Then a lvl 6 sharpie named topherrrrrrrr joined. I gave him all of my money and he bought a m14.
Wave 3 started. If a new player joins, I usually just provide cover so the new players can get their kills and cash. I've generally got my loadout by then so there isn't any reason to kill everything then give money away. Toperrrrrrrr was HS slow. USe the m14 laser, line up every single shot, apparently take a breath, then shoot. Every time. I was burning through a ton of ammo by "clear the corridor" shooting. After barely making it through 3, and having a tough time in 4, I typed "dude, you have to shoot faster."
"I've been playing this game longer than you."
I reply "I don't think so"
"I've beaten this map 50 times"
I reply "A whole 5 times. wow"
He was also doing a lot of rookie mistakes. Wave 3 he played next to the elevator. and I mean at the very end of the corridor. Wave 4 he played up by the door on the left. No clue about visually spawn blocking.
After barely making it through 4 and him doing the same thing in 5, I asked "First time playing biotics?" He replied "no, i've been playing this a lot longer than you have. About this point, I would let a player die. Hey, if a player wants to play next to a spawn point, or at some spot where mobs come around a corner solely because that player wants to maximize his kills (and hold the rest of the team hostage to keeping him alive) I'll let him die. Usually all it takes is not kill the 2 gorefasts that walk up behind him. But a new player, or two, had joined and I'm not going to teach a lessons when other players are present.
Wave 6 went by fine, as far as I can remember, and here comes 7. At that point we had 2 sharpies, 2 medics (?), 1 support, and some other perk. The first 5 perks are lvl 6.
We get rushed by a couple scrakes and a few other mobs. One player drops, and I back up into the corridor on the left. A scrake is following me. I backup behind the two medics and they back up as well. I type "medic pull the scrake" Remember both medics are next to me. Scrake rushes and I unload with the aa12. It isn't enough and I drop.
One guy types "don't we have a sharpie?" I reply "2."
Then something or other rushes and the team drops. One guy says "We need to do that again."
Then topherrrrrr goes "I confess that. That was me. I tanked it on purpose to screw with the team."
Lovely. Yeah, everyone left the server after that.
Now, check this death out.
I was playing biotics today as well and it was wave 2 or 3. I think the team had 3 or 4 players. A few specimens were left and the trader was the very bottom one. The team took off and I ran into the door down the hall on the left. I had the hunty out and was thinking "The only think that I have to worry about is a bloat around the door." I turn the corner and sure enough, a bloat is right there.
I back up a little and do the double hunty shot. He explodes and I instantly die from full health no armor. WTF just happened? The only thing I can figure is I double shot him, but didn't kill him and the bloat spit on me. Then a split second later a guy behind me shot him and I got another attack of bile. Then green death.
