Let xenos use environment to perma marines & Let xenos camp corpses for five minutes

From what I remember that rule about ds gibbing is old and a leftover from the times where gibbing a lot of corpses at once was a tall order for server and when xenos could drag corpses.

Pretty recent PR, just to prove the rule is still there.

@Cabal

If they know that much, why they don’t just decap every single marine corpse when relatively safe to do so? Why would you put your enemy on the pad, why would you fling your enemy in a big pit when you won’t slash him just about anywhere else?

Because usually when you can decap you can also cap, which is just better. But I remember a round when warrior and two burrowers sneaked in on Almayer and warrior decaped like a few dozens marines there, and it wasn’t against the rules.

@Cabal

Capping takes much more effort that fighting near DS pad and using ability that throws marine on it, just as hiding marines in a corner.

Capping takes more effort, but flinging people under DS requires you to be inside the FOB and have a DS landing. So again, you need stars to align.

@Cabal

If you can drag somebody to a corner of a map, why can’t you cap it?

Because capping is better. But when hive is destroyed and xenos are out of eggs, it’s not uncommon for xenos to drag people as far as possible just to kill them. Not against the rules.
