<div class="IPBDescription">maybe obvious, maybe not</div> .Ok I would just like to say that when you attack a marine in a group try not to let him move away from you so all of you are lined up, but attack from all directions. Not only will it be harder for him to kill both of you but it will confuse him and make him focus more on avoiding both your attacks(if youre a pair)instead of shooting at you. I know this might seem obvious, but I see far too many skulks just running straight towards marines in a line, taking unnecessary casualties, or first attacking from two directions but then letting him move away into such a position that he gets all the skulks lined up.
One thing that I like to do if you have many skulks attacking together and they are many marines, is that I rush in headon, not actually attacking anyone but just dodging bullets and running straight through the crowd in the middle. What happens? All marines turn towards me , fire and start jumping around like crazy, losing all control and effective firepower, while my buddies move in right after me and kill the marines in the confusion while I am either dead, has escaped or I have turned and is joining in on the meat. Sadly this doesnt work too often, because for some reason people seem to prefer to attack marines on their own. I dont know maybe its some kind of macho thing <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

It deals 10 damage and shows you and your team where they are.
Parasite all enemies you see at a range, eat all that you don't.
Now that he is baited, you are free to hunt them down at your leasure.
Then he slowly walked away further down(it was at the horseshoe)and just as he was at the corner i parasited him, and JUST before he turned around I luckily turned invisible again. So he started walking up towards me again, finally stopping just in front of me with his back turned. Guess how the story ends? Yes, we fell in love and lived happily ever after <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
No. People would use it to peek around corners.
Which is worse?
"Ok, they have a turret factory, with a blind east side, 2 marines on the west wall, and they are both building a seige..."
OR:
"Hey, I just parasited a bunch of n00bs, there's 7 blobs on the hivesight now..."
Used effectively, it's a HUGE exploit. My clan used this in tribes sometimes, one guy would go heavy and when a guy came ski-ing in, he'd strafe out and make him swallow a mortar shell. The effect was devistating, to say the least.
