And usually by the 3rd time I call out that I'm hit I've just decided "Fuck it", cause obviously my team doesn't like me enough and wants me to die lol.

I usually will call it once and see what happens... if I have to call it twice then you know I have been hit for a very long time and am a bit agitated.

Wait- When said, tends to mean someone has a plan and you should wait. I only add this cause I don't know how many times I've seen people die(or take shit tons of unnecessary damage) for any various cause after I've said to wait a second.

Don't- When said tends to mean I want you to stop what your doing. Read above, adding in to do something other than what you're currently doing.

Those two are the hardest things to get people to do.

It's situational for me. If you call hunted when someone is three feet in front of you, not boomed, shooting at common, and they don't immediately rescue, then it's time to get mad. But if you got 3 capped and your 4th man is boomed and horded you might as well just call it once and then let him focus on the rescue, because he's got his hands full rescuing your sorry asses.

Yeah, those 3-caps can do an awful lot of damage if SOMEthing can be done to stall the 4th person for a minute. Even if the boomer gets popped, if the 4th person can be caught as a second charged-person or something, it delays the rescues just enough for some pretty significant damage to be done.

What I really hate though is when I'm the only one hit by anything other than boom, and it still takes forever to get rescued. 2 people should be able to handle that horde while the other person gets the hunter, or smoker or whatever off of me.

I've always said that an SI's FIRST responsibility is to getting SI off of teammates. Nothing else loses a game faster than letting a teammate get hunted for 50+ points every hit. If I'm attempting a rescue and I get smoked I'm STILL firing at that hunter/charger/jock as I'm being dragged for those first couple seconds. Getting THEM up will eventually get ME saved as well.

Just think of the best teams we have out there... now think about how fast you are killed if you are on the other side as SI. It's near immediate. SI kills are PRIORITY ONE.

Lies! Killing Common gets you points! Teammates just drag you down! Let them fend for themselves, and push on to the safe room! Muaw hahahahahaha!
