Just played a 1v1, gathered as many crates as possible, went to his base and saw that he was going to be rushing. Got the turrets upgraded, locked my base, got 30 infantry and 3 spartans in there, as well as my Marines having Medic. Once he came he got absolutely smashed, as well as me stealing 2 of his tanks. Launched the counter attack and when his base was nearly dead, he risgned.Good stuff.

 So, for me, the most satisfying thing is beating a rush, then straight after going to their base and winning.

 What's the most satisfying thing for you?

The most satifying thing to me! is when you mount a perfect attack and that sweet halo wars BAMF guitar riff comes on I LOVE THAT RIFF. It makes me feel like im doing someting unstopable, and when it ends i put ma thinking cap back on and get back in the game lol

I eat wheaties for BREAKFAST!

I will agree with you on that...

It is satisfying to destroy a noobs rush...

"During the Pendulum Wars, the COG had a vast army... Now, it's made up of a few battalions..."

The most satisfying thing is to stop a rush ofc. First because, if its a Covie rush, I think its a cheap tactic (leaders are way too powerful for getting it free with just one building up). Second because if I reject a rush with my standard strategy, which is not exactly designed for that, I know I have already won the match.

However, if you managed to build up 30 marines and 3 spartans you werent facing a rush. There is noway in hell you can build that army under 5 minutes (less as you scouted him before), which is the very very maximum definition of a rush (standard rush happens in 3 minutes...).

Get it clear.

< 5 minutes: start of the game => you can be rushed by small sized / almost not teched armies.

5-10 minutes: mid-game => you can be attacked by medium-sized / low to medium teched armies (or a big low teched army or a small high teched army...)

 > 10 minutes to eternity: end game => battles occur between medium-big sized / medium-high teched armies.

 

The mere fact that you turtled like a scaredy-cat is laughable.  A good player would have seen you doing so, and expanded all over the map and had an exonomic advantage, while you're still holed up in your base wihtout a way to take down his expos.

"Seanyboy: L0dex is the cancer of these forums ='( "

Well I guess mine is when i was just bored, friends were makeing me play 3v3 in MM, so i just started spamming unupgraded cryclopes (sp i know) and 3 spartens, when i fanily attacked his base he had 4 tanks up. I jacked 3 of them, Ran them away to my base. Held them for the rest of the game. And used them in the assault to kill his last base 20 mins later.

Most satisfying was against a noob that thought that his strategy would work as long as he kept using it. He just kept using the same unit over and over, after the first time I had a good counter but he didn't want to believe that his lame spam wasn't going to work this time.

(The strategy was hunter spam, I just used air units).

To me the most satisfying thing is facing someone who is your match in every way.  I love games where I rush, just to get countered, but I beat the counter attack and the game goes on for a long time.  I love when at no time do I feel confident of the win because my enemy has proven himself worthy.  I like to win those games, but I don't care if I do because I can't deny the fun I just had facing this person.

 Kids like to throw the term noob around just because they lose to rushing, but the truth is that strategy isn't about brute force tactics.  I'd say noobs skip rushing, thinking they are saving money for the real game enders, mid level players rush, upper mid players develop a long strategy that includes early, mid, and late game strategies so they are never unprepared... but the masters use smoke and mirrors to distract, control, and contain their enemy.

For the record I don't consider myself a master, but I would say most kids fall under the mid level rusher catagory.

My best "master" moment was when I was being leader rushed (which I saw because of early recon) and I hid my warthog behind their base.  when I saw their leader (arbiter) get to my base I used a pelican to drop several cyclops next to my warthog.  Sure my base was barely defended, but I was able to keep him distracted enough while my cyclops took out his base (much faster than he took out mine).

oh and I also agree with the above... kids that think "maybe THIS time my warthogs won't die against his amassed hunters!" or "sure my last wave of marines died to his jackels, but this time I will have MORE of them!!!"

So you call an attack, where you have enough time to build an army and tech up to tech lvl 3, a rush? ;)

Most satisfying: winning a 2on1 or 3on1 (where your teammate(s) left right at the start of the game)

"Abiter,the humans makig cobras,they knew all along that we're making Wraiths"
"Excellent,make the bath hot my rage is not fully upgraded yet"

most satisfying for me is to meet an equal opponent!! happens rarely cuz ppl seem to be oblivious to the other bases on the map and i always seem to have a huge army guarding my base not even a hundred feet from thers starting base !!.....i will concede tho, last night after rapin the usual riff raff my friend and i were in a game on labrinyth and i only had the intial base and my friend had 2 had a couple jackals in the sniper towers, as i slowly teching my locust for an attack, sent the ghost to recon and was annihalated by a huge brute army......slowly churned out about 3 locust, arbiter and a couple hunter......next thing i no there at my front door ......didnt look good nor did it end good, sent my resources to TM as i went out.....they were next on him with a scarab......long story short WASNT expecting to meet an army of = caliber thus my unusually slow building, had i known they werent the usual terribles ida been better prepared!

For me a well placed leader power is the most satisfying thing. Seeing a Carpet Bomb, MAC Blast, or Cryo Bomb annihilating an enemy army when used correctly is very satisfying (and funny sometimes).
