This is not about a last jetpacker marine hiding somewere in the map without a chance to win.
This is about ingame hiding spots for Marines, Turret facories and Gesturing.
As first map I choose Caged because it has the most surprising hide-spots.
Just mentioning the really good spots that get almost any rushing/n00b enemy.
No Vents.
Bottom = Easy to get there even as HA marine
Jetpack = for jetpackers and Fliing aliens only
Top = For wallclinbing Skulks only
Before flaming one hiding spot look at the matching .jpg in this zip file.

My Favs:
B13 (green).
Marines had generator and aliens rushed it like crazy. I counted 13+ Aliens of all classes walking 4 feet above without noticing or damaging me.
So I could write whats incoming everytime or kill some Gorge:)
B5:
At game Start (wen aliens dont haave Generator) you kill up to 3 skulks from behind that rush the left corner.
You never get any damage there for the first 15 game minutes.
B14:
Same as B5, just the other hive and less successfull, but still confusing most rushers for a long time. And it protects the vent to CC.

Should be in marine tactics.
And caged is uber easy to hide in.. mostly cuz it's the biggest friggin map in NS!
Can't tell you how many lone marines i've chewed up when hiding above a hallway entrance or in between pipes (Like near the sewer entrance <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
