in this topic i would like to get some general tips for playing Natural selection, so just post yours here:
- when building as a grunt, try to keep a corner on the screen on the entrance to the room you are in - just to avoid a sudden bite in the **obscenity** from a skulk or worse.
- as commander, remember to secure your TF with Turrets on ALL sides.
- instead of taking the time to reload your primary weapon in a fight, its a good idea to pull out your pistol.

-YOU ARE NOT RAMBO!
-A single turret will NOT defend a hive. (Sadly, i've seen too many comms thinking dropping a spendy TF and one cheap Turret defends a hive perfectly <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> )
-LOOK UP! A marines quickest death always cometh from above.
-Don't Panic when fades come into the game, they are easily taken out if you work together
-Be sure to weld all vents so aliens don't have it so easy
- as a commandor don't focus too much on your base defenses in the beginning(just put a tower or 2 then GO!), this can be suicide, since the Marine team is too scared to come out, and then the aliens take all the nodes.
- in the late game when marines is about to lose, then try to get a siege turret up and running, the aliens often build OC and Dc, so they can come quickly in shoot a little, then out heal and then in again.
- when playing Aliens(i know this is the worng section) remember to attack in one force instead of just attack as soon as you spawn(many times the only reason we didn't have a LONG and borgin game was because i got the Aliens orrganized in one strikeforce, so we could end it quickly.
- when attacking(again aliens topic) a lerk with umbra is good for keeping the assualting aliens alive(as the lerk fly onto the turrets/marines and umbra them.
- Listen, you can always hear the enemy when you are near them, you can even hear, what race they are, their equiptment(mostly jetpack - and weapons if they are attacking), and also a locationen.
