<div class="IPBDescription">FUN FUN FUN</div> I just got out of a game. Granted it was small, 4v4 but man was it fun. I only bring this up because I went gorge and built sensory first. Yeah yeah, shockwave already posted something like this, but I'm in a happy mood. Me and my teammates ended up r**ing the marines because I sat cloaked as a skulk outside one side of their spawn (ns_eclipe btw) and killed anything that came out. On the other side was a giant wall of O's and D's.

After I died a couple times I went Fade and sat in the same spot. They had 1 res tower because they were afraid of what might be sitting outside the doors. We got 3 hives in short order...we ripped them apart, despite the fact that we went sensory first.

Also, earlier today, I was on aliens (ns_tanith). Movement first. We didn't even get a chance to finish building the second hive before the marines lost...and that was against 4 pubbies and 2 clanners.

So, anyone wanna keep the good idea's flowing and suggest "let's mix up the chambers, let's go sens or mvmt first"

God I wish this would happen in a game where I play, I hardly ever play Gorge and if I was I would be to scared to build anything but Defense Chamber first <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

i was thinking about getting movement first a lot of times, and some times some newbie goes gorge and gets defense before i get a mvmnt. but other times i need the defense more than the movemement earlier. but i think it would work. now sensory im not too sure. i think it only worked for you becuase you were against 4 marines.

this only adds to my idea that smaller games are better! a good small team vs. another good small team to me = a better game !, of course we do run a small server 9 person because of machine limitation * but feels more personal when you have a smaller team to play with

fool

normally if im in small games its on maps like dank or europa or saratoga. and then the marines mass mines and see how long they can hold out. it may not sound like a good game but it is fun.

Ugh mass mines... they always crash my server <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

I had a great one today. I joined a small game.. 2 marines, 1 alien player, making it 2 on 2. I went gorge while the other fellow roamed about and tried to keep the marines (er, marine) busy. I capped a ton of resource points and built a second hive, but soon after my teammate bailed and left me alone to go against the marine team. They had Cargo Bay hive locked down, and also had HA/HMG and other assorted goodies.

Let me tell you, nothing is more strangely satisfying than taking down a marine structure with a bunch of OC's. I had a great time killing their res and also laying traps with OC's and web throughout the map. I was only a lone gorge, however, and ultimately stood no chance against two HA/Gren or HA/HMG marines. Or did I? I held out long enough for a bunch of people to join the server and even out the teams (8 on 8 or so) and while my teammates kept the newly arrived marines out of power silo, I rushed cargo bay and used all the turrets I could to retake the hive. We got the hive but wound up losing power silo, pulled together and fought to retake silo, and finally won the game. It was great <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Hmm. Unfortunately its VERY hard to win, if you don't have Defense second or first. I bet I would have won against those marines had I told the gorge to get defense instead of movement.....(long ago in a 1.03 server)

6 vs 6 matches in CW:s and in publics are best.

Nothing beats have 3 marines vs 3 lurks having an airborn battle w/ jetpacks at the viaduct hive lol

Shockeh

Weird, I played such a hard fought game last night, as Gorge I got to build (Count 'em!) EIGHT hives! EIGHT! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

played a few 1v2's (i was alone) and won some. They are great fun, especially as a gorge (mass res)

LaserApa

Yupp... finnaly convinced enough aliens to give sensory a first try, and man oh man did we see some paranoid marines. Brilliant. At first i was i little annoyed by the fact that cloaking wasnt full, but then it started to grow very fond of the suspense.. will he see me.. please no... thats right, move along.. no aliens here... clunk clunk clunk, chuckle, bite bite...

A lot of people had never even heard of cloaking before. That Def/Mov thing is really glued into peoples minds.... oh well, i had a great time.

sensory first is an awsome strat if you are trying to have fun. You have such an advantage over marines its not even funny. But if you're trying to win a game, defense just makes things much easier. You can regen towers, hives, yourself, etc. Cloaking is fun, Defense is for winning

moultano

Ive been vote kicked for <i>suggesting</i> that we build sensory first. I wasnt even gorge . . .

Unipac

lol I've played in a game where our gorge built sensory first, everyone started telling him how he lost the game for the Alien team...

I upgraded cloak and went to their base, I ran around a corner and saw a marine, he shot a couple times at me and because the room was big, I didn't want to charge in. I backed off at the corner and cloaked there. The marine turned the corner and stood there looking directly at me, as if he was trying to see if something was there. I was like "no please, I'm not here, turn your back!!"... lol he did and started running the opposite way... that's when I came around and bite him in the back.

I actually did this a number of times, it's really good when the Marines don't have motion tracking up yet! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
