<div class="IPBDescription">Story of the greatest game ever.</div> The greatest game I ever played was probably the most hillarious as well.
It was an excellent back and fourth game. Both teams were evenly matched, neither seemed to get the upper hand on one another. The aliens had gained control of two hives, the marines another. As the game went on, the marines constantly harrased both hive locations while the aliens did a great job of taking over resource chambers. However, time had given the marines a great force of HA and HMG powerhouses that proceeded to storm and destroy both Kharra hives. Unfortunatly for me, I was on the Kharra team. In desperation, I rallied another member of the team to storm the marine base since, their whole team was busy attacking our hives. While the marines were distracted, my team of 2 skulks managed to storm the command console and infantry portals, completely obliterating them. After we destroyed the marine base, our hives were completely destroyed and the two raiding skulks assassinated. However, we did not lose the game. ONE gorge was left hiding in our 2nd hive location, relying on 1 lvl of cloak in the corner. Our whole team watched the gorge as the raiding party of HA marines trudged on, trying to hunt him out. They had run out of ammo trying to destroy our original hive and were having a tough time cleaning up our outposts of offensive chambers that surrounded the resources. All the while, this one lone gorge was building up his resources... He managed to start a hive back up. The marines however, had found this out and tried desperatly to knife the hive to death.. .but to no success: It was too high and they had no jetpacks! The marines had one hope: Run back to the 3rd hive location they secured in the beginning of the game and use the armory to regen their lost ammunition (the other skulk and I destroyed their spawn armory). By the time the marines made it to the other end of the map, the hive was completed and the entire Kharra team began respawning. The gorge fortified the base with TONS of offensive towers and defensive towers until the entire team of skulks were reborn. One by one the marines went down to the most corrdinated alien attack i've ever seen. 7 Skulks rushing the 3rd hive location, biting, and chuckling the whole way.
Never give up. When marines are attacking a hive, it only takes one sneaky skulk to ruin all hopes of victory.

Once marines get HA and HMGS the players just scream at spawn for HA/jetpacks/hmg and hte commander usually get **obscenity** as hell....you caught them at a good time.
Nice thinking sir!

Hehe, that sounds like a game I'd have loved to be in on! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I've seen numerous posts of people saying how underpowered the aliens are when they've only got one hive. That was an awesome story of stealing victory away from the marines with NONE!!! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
These 2 stories happen to me:
story1:
It was on ns_hera, we, aliens, went for quick 3 hives strategy - we managed to get all 3 hives growing very quickly, sacrificing almost all defenses and leaving resource tower and hive protection on skulks. Just few moments after 3rd hive grown up I was killed (as skulk) near ventilation C hive - I run into group of 6 HA+HMG and HA+GL marines... I just though .. I cannot believe, so fast? we are lost.. Just few times after I respawned hive ventilation-C was lost .. I evolved into Lerk when I heard friend screaming .. "Help me, I'm attacking command station, they have only few turrets here" .. I didn't wasted time and flown there to help him.. we were holding it against fresh respawning marines and killed 6-8 of them coming up with elevator (it were actually 2-3 same marines respawning) .. thank god for umbra, my friend fade did his job and killed command station just seconds before I died and he too loosing my umbra cover. I was relaxed thinking we just won the game .. but whoops, I forgot that group of HA marines.. they were just killing our second hive! We went after them and managed to protect our last hive.. But marines were no giving up! They just stick together and went to attack us - now just ordinary skulks (with just 1 hive on). The game lasted for one more hour! We started 2nd hive two times but rushing marines killed it. I tried 2 times as gorge starting some more resource towers and offense chambers around, but marines finished me quickly and I had to help defending our hive with skulk. One moment I though we lost .. we had just 1 resource tower .. forgotten in ventilation-C and 1 hive in archiving everything other including all OC and DC were destroyed by attacking marines.. But finnaly and very slowly we managed to restore our power and with 2 hives up we destroyed their portals .. finnally, after looong skulk-marine battle :-)
Story2:
This is story of marine comeback on bast .. I joined game later as marine .. these moments aliens had 2 hives, we had base, middle resource (behind spinning doors) and 1 their hive with resource. Aliens were pushing hard with fades and we had no HA yet .. we soon lost all external buildings and I though this is our death.. But we somehow managed to slow down alien rushes .. turrets were on, sieges were pushing defrense chamber far from our base and marines learned to help each other with welder.. some times it was hard, when 3 onoses and 1-2 fades rushed our base and killed turret factory we barely held up (with 2 jetpack marines and comm beeing only survivals), but finnaly after hour of endless pressure from aliens, we learned how to conserve resources, repairing just everything, placing mines and GL spamming elevator and we started to extremply slowly push aliens back. I was using jetpack with HMG and was going into vent in efford to clear middle resource behind spinning doors and protect it from fades who loved to go into it and spam our base with bile bombs.. We gave our comm enough time so he got resources for 3-4 HA+HMG and 1 HA+GL guys .. and we decided to make push towards feedwater. We cleared area around 2 res points and quickly established some turrets there and continued to feedwater. Feedwater hive just died when commander written "UR BASE". We survived there just 2 and my friend went back to base so I decided to hold feedwater. I had motion sensor so it was easy to waste 3 skulks and then 2 fades coming up from shaft. I was calling comm for ammo and he didn't respond so I decided to go back to area where 2 res points were, because I knew armory is there too. Everything was silent, there were no "xxx killed yyy" messages on my HUD. As I get near 2 res points I saw fade and skulk attacking turret factory from behind, there was also backup command station and I just though it's so cool we have so many spare resources even for backup CS ... I quickly wasted apparently damaged fade and skulk before they noticed me, got some ammo when onos rushed in, with help of turrets I killed him too and accidentally pressed TAB button and made sound like "eeeek" when I saw that I'm only living marine now and perhaps for 5 last minutes too :-) I quickly jumped into command station placed one portal, jumped out, built it, jumped back to command station, placed 2 more and jumped out again to build them when fade rushed in and killed me... guys were respawning but they didn't hold it against coming aliens and I didn't respawn again.. game was over, but it was great battle :-)
