Thanks. :D

I originally suggested we bring four sentries. One of them jokingly replied "Perhaps you mean FIVE sentries?"

Upon realizing you could bring two sentries, awesomeness ensued. It's pretty damn difficult fighting your way to the cargo elevator with only melee and one set of hornets (3 of us had just promoted). But it was worth it. So worth it. But alas, I am tired.

A reminder, you can add me by the tag Pandarsenic if you want to play.

For now, though, sleepings.

It isn't very fun to be medic when half the team uses either the marksman's rifle or the rail sniper, and gets infested because their gun fires three times a minute.
The firing rate of the Rail Rifle goes up considerably if you can time repeated fast reloads. If you can't, you probably shouldn't be using it at all.

Plus, combined with a damage amplifier on the cargo elevator, it's really efficient in shooting aliens off the walls.

Though they arn't bad and I am tired of people who pick weapons that run out of ammo FAST!


Guess why I always carry an ammo-eating gun and an ammo pack? :P

Goodness... I've dropped beacons right infront of infected people before and they didn't walk the two steps it would have taken to go into it.

To be fair, when you first become infected your controls are somewhat erratic.

I've been playing a lot of Medic over the past little while (as evidenced by how my favorite class went from Crash Techie to Faith Medic incredibly quickly on the stats screen), and I have to say that the beacons aren't really for uninfecting people. They're for healing damage, while the medgun is for emergencies (like the parasites).

When I play, I don't take a firearm. I take the medgun, the heal beacons, and a power fist. On Insane Mode, the 'Peace Medic' (named after the Steam Achievement you will undoubtedly get after playing with this loadout) seems to be the only way to go.

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?

I can't always hear people screaming medic, I heal them based on what their health level is on the bottom of the screen.
