    Whats a good way for arbiter to get hooks in teams?

    I played on memorial basin as arbiter and did my standard build of temple first and 3 sgs.

    it was arbiter forge vs prophet forge

    my partner went baraks first to get his hook but somehow, I have no idea what was happening with him but somehow, he can't keep his own hooks from the forge on the other team.

    I went to the prophets base and got there and he went temple shield ehg not building warehouses but claming the supply hook with the ehg.

    I went to the forge and killed a hsp and then 2 buildings coming up while I put up my hall, which was a bit late but I thought my teammate would be fine dealing with a forge on the hooks when the forge is now 30 secs behind on building time and a hsp short.

    well how wrong I was, the prophet actually was able to get his eco up well and I could not stall him fast enough, I had enough to kill his army when he attacked but my teammate did nothing and blamed it on me for not going to the hooks early game and raging ehgs.

    Anyone have good arbiter team builds?

    here is the link, the guys seem good. my teammate seemed like a *** and could not even get his own eco going as forge.


    And burn, you will burn. You will burn in hell, yeah you will burn in hell. You will burn in hell, yeah you will burn in hell for your sins.

    those guys are really good, beat me and my buddy on the same map doing the same thing, although i managed to get my resource hook while my bud couldnt for a while (prophet had jackals my bud went for double banshee spam which we didnt realize isnt that effective on that map), luckily my hogs killed most of his jackals + his prophet and we mangaed to get both supply hooks for a while

    anyway the only thing the arbiter could have done is got more jackals while the arbiter goes hog hunting, while your unsc teammate needs to go hogs, the hogs should prevent the prophet from getting the hook for a while and killing stray jackals, while the arbiter kills/ finds all of forges hogs 

    tomanator got owned cause he didnt go hogs, and not going hogs on hook maps means flammers/hogs will prevent you from getting them easily.

    me and my bud managed to get map map control but their forge got tanks/wolves out and i didnt have enough tanks/gremlins of my own cause i was too focused on producing hogs (for the banshees/vampires) and we lost

    In my limited experience with Memorial I can say this for sure

    Those hooks are the most important thing on that map.

    Whoever gets them first/can hold them will win.The best thing I have found to do is steal the hooks. A lot of people base their entire build on getting those hooks asap,(like barracks first, shield second) I used to be one of them. Deny them the hook and they are screwed. Instead of going strait for the elevator, build as normal and rage the free build pad rebels down as soon as you have the cash. They give you like 6 piles of crates, plenty to pay back the rage and get a hall on the free build slot. Unsc teammate does the same with early hogs on his side, and gets a barracks there. harass with hogs and Arby and then just pump flamers/jackals at the elevators to take it from them. If they come to retrieve it you have instant anti infantry just outside the fog literally right there when you need it, instead of trotting slowly over from your main. 

    I wouldn't be suprised if this is what the other forge did
