Alien Misconceptions

I've been playing for awhile, and have come to the conclusion that some players don't appreciate the finer points of 2.0.

They don't realise that they can gorge and cap an rt as soon as the round starts. They don't realise that to compete with marines with electric rts, they have to get as many rts as possible in the start. in all my games so far, it is only in rare occasions that more than 3 people actually go gorge.

They don't realise that their "OMG RES FOR KILLS LETS GO" syndrome is affecting their team's performance. It's not as though gorges can't fight, and the fact that they don't even want to waste 25 res to cap a res node makes those HAs appear faster than their precious onos, which ensures a very dead alien team.

They don't realise that sensories, when placed in strategic locations, make for some very dead marines. They don't realise that scent of fear is not for an agressive "HELL IM GONNA CHARGE THEM MARINES" skulk, in which case they would probably end up the eventual losers anyway.

I would just like to point this out, loud and clear, to the community as a whole. Thank you for your attention.

    be patient. The point with the sens is already known by many players, i see them used more and more and better and better. The movements could be used more in offensive places. specialy for the fades that the can shot faster

    Don't go killing for res as a skulk. You're just as likely to end up giving them res if you're too agressive. Ambush them (with the new sensory trend that should be easy). Pick your battles, if you don't stand a chance just run.

    yeah everyone is quite quickly learning how good sensory is, the only time I had a problem was on a server (dont remember which) where they told me to place DMS (the old 1.0 version) and wouldn't let anyone else go gorge <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->.
