Sick and tired of this protag shit. You ain’t him, bitch. You’re meant to just die on LV-624 unceremoniously due to a guy PBing you from behind, causing you to fall into TF2 MvM Manhattan Cog Liveleak Deathtrap (I am sure there is a term that could be used to make this sentence more concise, to describe people being shot in the back). You’re not “UAC-IIC”, whatever the fuck that means. Get the fuck outta here.
Here’s the drill. Marines are the bottom of the barrel, with subpar ammo that doesn’t even plab xenos in one shot! Since it’s a penal batallion, every Marine is ontologically evil at best and an antagonist in Law&Order at worst. You’re literally people Dirty Harry guns down en masse with his Magnum, no offense.
The Officers aren’t better. SOs, XOs, COs are all here, stuck at an irrelevant vessel manned by barely sentient marines of a second-rate power. UA is literally the USSR, even though the actual USSR exists. I suppose UPP is the Super-USSR, meaning Super-fucked. Sweet Liberty!
Ultimately, CM players on both sides would be better off being constantly controlled by a Director AI that dictates the terms, time and direction of engagements on the maps. Since CIC is definetly never interested in actually commanding, they can deploy to be unceremoniously fucked up in a jungle somewhere.
Ultimate reason and control over AI prompts as to why Marines fight on planet A will be given to a schizo writer from Finland, or something. Not my problem
