<div class="IPBDescription">oh man it was madness!</div> 1) i started as commander on ns_tanith.
hive rush (1): after building up an ok base to defend against skulk rushes, i ordered both my troops up to the fusion reactor to take it over after scanning all the hives with the observatory to see which ones were clear, fusion being in the middle i thought it would be easier to get that then head over to waste handling. i had gotten a turret factory and 2 turrets up when some skulks came in and killed the marines, unfortunately the turret behind the factory wasnt finished yet, almost done but not quite, they took the factory out, then the 2 turrets that were still active (1.02 you know).
reactor room (2): i then had them go back up but by that time a gorge had built a few offense chambers, i decided to get waste handling, yet again offense chambers. so i had them go to reactor room to get the double-node, which they did, too bad i only had about 3 turrets when fades came in and took them all out.
the 1st of many (3): by the time i had HA/HMGs ready a few fades were heading to our base, they were no trouble at all, however, once the 1st onos came the 2 marines werent so lucky, at which point more people joined the game, 2 more marines, 2 more aliens, 5 turrets, fully upgraded weapons/armor was all that we had besides some hmgs/harmors.
near the end (4): Onos rushing (1 at a time) came periodically, most werent a problem, taking out 1-2 and a marine in HA at best, the worst however has got to be the time 2 came in, we lost 3/5 turrets and all the marines before they died. i then decided it would be better if someone with more experience as commander took over. of course, he was better than i was, and as a result got more stuff done quicker. eventually we were ready for a rush right after the last onos rush. i had a jetpack/shotgun/welder to repair the HAs, and 2 HAs with hmgs, the rush went right as planned, we went up to waste handling with minimal resistance, at which point most of the aliens left.
taking down a hive (5): we finally made it to waste handling, we all thought that this would be hard, but there was little defense, a few offense chambers here and there, 1 of 2 aliens coming every now and then, i used my jetpack to get up on the rafters in the ceiling, at which point i started shooting away with my shotgun at the hive, almost running out of ammo it finally died.
the big victory (6): well, not much to add except about 5 mins after we took the 1st hive and secured it, we headed for fusion reactor, at which point the aliens went to the ready room.
the morale: don't give up, no matter what, we all thought we had no chance but did we give up? no.
<end of 1st story>
i can't remember exactly what happened... but what i do know is near the end the aliens had 3 hives up, and they took out our main (start area) base, and put up a few offense chambers and a resource tower there...
ok, on to the story:
ns_tanith was the map.
near the end of the game, we were down to our cc, 2 spawn portals, 6 turrets, a factory of course, an armory, a resource tower and an arms lab. constant onos rushing didnt help us rebuild our base to win (we lost of course) finally, something happened... they came down the elevator on the path to waste handling, the one out the left of the marine base and keep going left etc. until you reach an elevator, thats the area we were at, down the elevator.
a marine jumped under the elevator to keep it up, it didnt go back up to the top either though, it stayed where it was, we wasted all our ammo on the 3 onos in the elevator (i did anyway) at which point a fade and a lerk came to the top to see what was going on... i can't imagine what they were thinking watching those 3 onos on the elevator, 1 onos died. somehow 1 of them fit through the hole barely big enough for a fade and killed the marine then went back up and it came down, 1 died from the 3 turrets shooting at it, the other one made it to a spawn portal and took it out. all the marines and turrets at that point were firing at it, me, being out of ammo, decided to run up to it with my knife... a few hits later i killed it with my knife.
pretty much the end there, except for the fact that they decided to all go lerk and make it so theres nowhere to run from the spores, at which point a few fades came in and finished most of our base, by the time they were dead we had 4 onos charging around the corner and well... you know what happened next
then theres the parasite kill on ns_nothing... thats another story and it doesnt really need to be said except that it was early on and i opened a door to see a marine and i hit him 3 times and got the kill... i took a pic of it, dont know why

Naaaa.
i'll try to make it somewhat shorter as well... just some things might be missing from what happened
