The red blips are enemies
The Green blips are your friends and structures
The red flashing blips are your friends/structures under attack.

If you have sharp teeth bite everything that has a gun.

If you have a gun shoot everything that has sharp teeth.

NS2 in a nutshell. ;)

Recycle button is your friend.
Turrets always go first, not infantry portals.
Commander mode is a good place to go AFK.
Mines are your friends.
Follow the buy then sell tactic; if it works it real life, it works in-game.
Block your teammates; your protecting them from danger.
Are you a tool? No, so stop building it.
The drifter is a parasite, block it from entering the resource node.
Ignore the chat box.

<b>But most of all:</b>
Have fun :D

Keep alert, you never know which direction an alien would come from, could be from behind, could be from above, even right in your face in a split second (FADE!!). The Mini-map is your friend, and so are your fellow teammates, so stick close and move in squads of two or more~

You can crawl silently (but slowly) by holding shift as Skulk! Use it when you hear Marine footsteps nearby, and set them up for an ambush! You should get at least 1 bite into fresh meat! If you need to heal quickly, look for a chubby Gorge or infestation on the Mini-map, both will get you back to health fast!

So never shoot gorges :-D.

Parasite everything you can as skulk. Never run face to face to a marine.
