<div class="IPBDescription">Oh yeah, and Mines are awesome</div> Just got back from a really great game in NS, running 1.04h, on the Fists of Ra server. It lasted probably 1 hour and 30 minutes to probably 2 hours, not really sure, because We played another game before it.
Alright, it was on CAGED. A lot of my clanmates (NS4Life) were there, and our commander was OAZE (who is in NS4Life)... We know how useful mines are, so he'd drop mines, and I'd place them around the IPs, Armory, Obs, CC, etc. While we did drop an OBs, and Arms lab, the arms lab kept getting killed before I could build it (It was just me guarding the base, the others were securing generator hive), the same few guys kept rushing our base as aliens, through the vents.
I never really killed anyone with the lmg/pistol at that time, because i was busy laying mines, and getting the things built. Everytime I'd get killed, the skulks would run into one of the mines i put on the floor. They managed to destroy our base, and we built a new base in Generator hive. From there, we had pretty much everything, arms lab, proto lab, armory, turrets, TF, 2 IPs, etc. At that time, I checked my score, and there were 19 mine kills of the mines I put down myself! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Some other guys got some kills from mines, but they weren't really placed in effective places .. :/
We were getting a lot of resources, thanks to the mines around the Resource towers, and our whole team had jetpacks, shotguns, HMGs, and GLs. Some of us went to the sewer hive to try and take it down, while others were going to the ventiliation hive. I stayed alive in the sewer vestibule sublevel for quite awhile, and I took down many skulks and fades who came at me. I had some backup come multiple times, but we didn't get a lot of health because of the resources going a bit slow at this point. Soon, we all died there, and focused on one hive, ventiliation. But.. they had a wall of OC's protecting around the entrance from shipping tunnel.
So we got a phase at the end of shipping tunnel, we lowered the door, and we built a TF and Turret or two (resources were low at this point) behind one of the boxes, to try and siege the OC's. Of course they sent in fades, and a gorge, and some skulks, and we put up a really good fight, but slowly, they took us down. They were coming at our generator hive (our main base, at that point) and the gorge was building, so we put up two sieges. We held them off a long time, but they were slowing getting the advantage. I hopped in the commander chair a few times to drop medpacks to people, and to plan for the future, I scanned the old marine base.. I noticed they had offensive chambers blocking off all of the doorways, except the main doorway.. So, I told the team to DISTRESS beacon if we all died... We stockpiled some resources, and we did just that.
We all spawned at the original base, and I just ran right out (because I knew where everything was).. Me and one other guy made it, some guys were trapped, though, but they died soon enough (Muwhaha).
I went left, and came to the double doors. I closed both doors, and told the commander (Scarface, at this point) to drop a commander chair. And me and the other guy started building. When our old base was completely gone, I dropped 2 IPs, and a TF, and a turret or two. The team kept the doors closed. We had fades, and skulks coming at us from both sides, so I told them to 'break' the doors. This is where, when you hit the button, one of the 'double doors' closes, while the other opens. So the opening is always pretty much sealed closed. We did this for both sets of doors <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->... They soon over powered us, of course, but the ONOS never got into our base until the very end <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Muwhaha. I also made another IP at one point, and I trapped a skulk under it. We lost quickly at this point, though, and it was a REALLY great game.
I even got mine kills probably 10+ minutes AFTER I put the mines down. Such as around resource nodes, I think a gorge died because he stepped on a mine or two at our original base's resource node. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Got plenty of mine kills through the game, killed a BUNCH of fades with HMG (and even LMG), and it was a really great game.
I took some screenshots, and I'll upload them, even both team's scores were REALLY high, and pretty equal (130-140) I believe, until the very end. The best part, really was because nobody complained, and there was a lot of teamwork.
I did a status before the game ended, and under TIME for me, it listed 2:05:57, but that's probably the server time, and not round time. So atleast 1 hour and 30 minutes seems about right for the game. I really wish the people to were in the game from the start (Oaze, and some others) stayed for the whole thing.
