<div class="IPBDescription">do a 1-hive rush!</div> Have not seen this little tip in this forum and its hard to search for a specific strat since it can be described in so many ways, so sorry if its been brought up before.
This is mainly for pub play i suppose.
You have one hive secured allright only to start hearing the skulks leap, troops getting stuck in web and see those yellow clouds of crap. You know youre in for worse times.
Playing Alien regularly we all know that often gorges leave the first hive pretty much defencless. Textbook right? Now instead of trying the old PG-> TF-> Upgrade-> Seige routine which is kind of hard to pull of on a pub. Get at least 4 guys with full ammo, rush in there and just blast the hive dead on. Reload repeat. Takes about 30 or 40 seconds with 1 weapon upgrades (not dead sure on the time but pretty fast) Maby have one guy cover, but on larger maps like Bast or Tanith skulks will have a difficult time getting there in time.
It'll slow them creeps down plenty. Give it a whirl if you havnt allready.

Also, it's a really obvious thing to do.
