Strengths: My reputation for extreme ownage often causes most of the alien team to F4, I can kill an onos with a single pistol clip, and knife a hive from the opposite side of the map. Marines always win when I am on their side. I can win any game with my eyes closed.
Weaknesses: Prone to lying and exuberant exaggeration, often known to take a joke too far, is likely to get banned for this.
Loadout: Shotgun, Welder, JPs always fun, HA good too.
Strengths: Helps commander get what he needs done done, defends commander from annoying nubs who yell at him for stuff when he doesn't have the resources, defends outposts and base with uber "elite" shotgun skills. Doesn't waste commander's resources.
Weaknesses: Sucks at killing skulks, gorges, onos, fades, and lerks unless he has the upper hand (shotgun, turrets to be my friend).
Weapon Loadout: LMG is my preferred weapon for the majority of the game. I'm not great with the shottie, and i'd prefer to not have the comm spend res on me. I'm aweful with a gl. I only like HMGs when i'm in a big squad and have lots of support, cause I simply HATE to lose expensive equipment.
Strengths: Can d0nce circles around skulks, fades, and onos. I am great at getting up in the aliens face and circlestrafing around them to dodge all their attacks while me and my team pour lead into them. Because my lifespan is extremely variable due to my pointman duty, I prefer to not be given any equipment, so i'm inexpensive for the comm. If I notice any equipment on the ground, or remember where someone died with equipment, i will rush out to grab it before it decays and bring it back to base for someone to use. I will charge headlong through 5 aliens just to try to kill one of them thats fleeing. I usually manage to kill more than my fair share of fades and onos with just my trusty LMG.
Weaknesses: Tendancy to rambo if I think I can take down an alien thats fleeing. Tendancy to charge headlong into a large group of aliens and focus on one guy (emptying lmg + pistol) on the slim chance that I might kill him. I also get a little overzealous (with a corresponding drop in typing ability) when we start losing a location and I can be easily recognized by seeing "GETT HROUGH PHSAE NOW NOWN OW" or "EXLPISE NOW NOW NOW" over teamchat. Not good at dealing with multiple targets, I just pick one guy in a group and focus only on killing him.
Strengths: First man in, will take one for the team, hell, will take it all for the team and keep on smiling. Need a man to distract the OCs? I'm there. Pointman against the rampaging onos? Hell yea. In short, anything and everything dealing with the dieing immediatley, is what I do. If I have a shotty I can typically bag the weaker aliens before my infallible courage leads me to a bloody and unappreciated death.
Weaknesses: None, every team needs one. Except if I have a shotgun, in which case theres a good chance that 10 res will go down the drain in the blink of an eye.
i tend to operate away from the main team, building forward bases, getting the jump on the phatty, ramboing the RTs. I do not join the main front unless it requires the whole team or is otherwise serious.
in groups i prefer to take point or stay in back,
in the endgame I tend to guard or scout rather than assault - unless there is a high chance the assault will fail without me
- I do not trust my teammates <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> I think that, in order to get the job done right, I have to do it. Not that I am the only who can, but that I am probably the only one who will think to (for instance, patrolling the phase bases, or checking around a base for enemy buildup, or going out to hit their RTs)
Basically I go everywhere I think needs checking and do everything I think will not get done. I am trying to maximize our chances of winning.
Summary: Tendency to scout out areas early on, crouch/walking into places where I expect aliens. Does not like to be a loner, in fact, prefers to be the bait while his teammates litter the aliens with bullet holes. When being attacked by anything without a ranged attack, tends to fly up ladders, jump off ledges, anything to confuse the alien and buy me some survival time.
Strengths: Makes good bait, specially with turrets around, am competent in aiming just in case I'm NOT the bait. Also, knows the best hiding places from Onii and can avoid their jaws of death by hiding out of reach. I'm very good at defense. Fond of suiciding of ledges when I'm about to be killed, preventing aliens from getting res.
Weaknesses: Gets ambushed early when scouting quite often. Unable to use pistol while moving because of its supreme accuracy (Yah, I think I rely on the lmg's range of fire to hit things). Likes to knife gorges, still too used to their old vulnerability, and not realising that two spits almost equal a bite. Fond of suiciding when I'm about to be killed, because I might be needed in that split moment.
Strengths: Commanders, if you tell me to go somewhere, I will go there without fail, though it may take me several lives. I will always follow orders, as seemingly silly as they sometimes are. No matter if you clicked my waypoint in the middle of their base, I will still go. However, I prefer company on such ventures. I'm the best one to use as the builder-skulkbait. If you're worried about giving the aliens more resources, than I'm probably not the best choice. As such, I rarely go rambo.
Weaknesses: If I could figure out how to display each player's death record I'm sure I would be at the top of the list. I'm always the first to die in a game, in a group, and in the most heavily fortified locations. I often find myself serving as squad pointman/self-appointed sacrifice. My aim is so horrid I think I've killed more oni than lerks. I'm a strategy geek who enjoys NS but sucks at commanding. Don't waste you're res on me.
Ideal load-out: Lvl 1 armor/LMG and Welder Favored targets:Onos.
Strengths:Rather good aim, Follows orders, Doesnt rambo (Unless ordered), In and out I do my job and get to the way point doesnt do anything out of mission paramiters.
Weaknesses:Assault, I am not that good moveing into a new area or attacking hive. (I need to be farmiliarized with the area look around see whats were and then I can do good)

<i>UsualLoadout: </i> N00b to MiddleClass Teamates
<i>Favored Targets: </i> Whatever,unless it's on my team or it's funny (well, I may still shoot to death a funny gorge, but it would be done with a tear in the corner of my eye)
<i>Summary: </i> I enjoy teaming with people, and will rarely move out of my base without at least one guy going with me. I'm here for the fun, not to deseperatly win at all cost, always, by any means. Still, I try to put myself into the game alot and its ambiance, and as such, always try my best to help my team achieve victory.
<i>Known Strengths:</i> <b>Helpful.</b> Always trying my best to help others in all ways possibles, giving advices to newbie teamates, answering questions, following orders, stating what's going on around me in order for everyone (and particularly the com) to get an idea of what's going on and assume what needs to be done, and how, and so on. Even open to the idea of bait or sacrifice (if for a good reason). <b>Communicative.</b> Communication is golden. Better tell someone what he's doing wrong or tell him you recieved his message than ignoring him and letting him go to his doom, because you may fall with him. <b>Stubborn:</b> "DONT F4! NEVER SURRENDER!"
<i>Admited Weaknesses:</i> <b>Average Aim.</b> Still, I must say that I improved alot, since I was able to kill 2-3 straight coming skulks lately, before dying from the 3-4th one's bite. Before I could not even emagine that to be possible <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> <b>Pressure Sensitive.</b> I'm a good com, from what I've seen of my games, but still, so much pressure form the fact that the fun of many other people is in your hands... Don't get me wrong: When I go com, I com well (providing assistance, listening to my men, giving orders and explanations, telling people what's going on all around, what upgrades are running, etc), staying cool, and doing it very seriously and as efficiently as possible but it's a bit more stressful than just taking your lmg and unloading your clips at the place you were ordered to go you know... And I usualy prefer to play to release pressure and enjoy myself <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <b>Stubborn:</b> "DONT F4!

Hard to say. Like many of you I favour sniping, but ns seems to lack this (well, this is more deliberate. How could you snipe at a skulk? Fade would be the only target big enough to hit with low enough health to actually be killed.) So how can you call yourselves assasins? The LMG is a great all-round gun, but over distances of 5m it really starts to spray. And as for shotgun, no way. Pistol has great accuracy, but suffers from a low clip (which is sensible, for balance.)
Anyway. I agree with WarpZone. The LMG is typically good enough to take down 2-3 skulks, 2/3 to maybe 1 fade, infinite gorges, and forget the onos. But in groups, you can trebble those figures. I find that a crippled marine team on mineshaft (still in marine start,) will always be able to take down a lone onos with or without onos before it does much damage. Such a big target and so many marines mean you can't go by yourself.
So to conclude, I am a groups member. I have years of Quake and Doom behind me so I am an ace shot. However I lack confidence to shout out commands, so usually just watch as a noob marine stumbles into a hive before we are ready.
Ideal Equip: Welder. IT IS SO UNDER-ESTIMATED! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Summary: <Insert alien player name here>- WTH!??!?!?! HAX!!!!! Marksman of high quality.
Known strengths: Dodging: From playing and studying alien players in Natural Selection, Clanner knows what target alien will most likely do and dodge it. Insane Accuracy: From countless hours of playing First person shooters, user has 96% accuracy with most guns. Insane Accuracy gives 6+ res per minute to squad Clanner is assigned to. <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> + <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> = <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'><!--endemo--> Extreme Loyalty: Clanner will almost ALWAYS follow orders, unless clanner knows that the commander is inexperienced. Known weaknesses: No Commanding Ability: Clanner has almost no commanding experience, as he has relied on others for leadership. Idiots: From the Clanner's ability to aim well, aliens automatically assume Clanner has aimhack. Bad Commanders: 85% of Clanner's defeats have been due to commanders recycling the infantry portals. Devour: Clanner still has large weakness, as it is incredibly hard to dodge devour without getting killed by another alien lifeform. <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo--> = <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
Role: LMG Guy/Nub who gets para killed in HA Im ONLY good with LMG, HA/HMG/GL/SG is a waste for me. And yes ive been para killed in HA...Several times in a row. I always try to follow orders unless the order are like "Kill those 3 onos outside base with LMG Plz" IM deadly accurate with LMG, but i suffer immense lag when there are 2-3 players on screen.
Strengths Real Teamplayer Follows Orders (well most) Deadly accurate with lmg
Weaknesses FPS (Even with a gf4ti i get 10-30 fps with 5-10 turrets on screen) lag (56k, very crappy isp) Crappy with anything other than vanilla outfit (SG/HA/HMG/GL) No accuracy when it comes to pistoling
I like to think of my self as a all rounder, I'm a good com(i think so i win more then half the time i com). I am not selfish i wont ask for stuff i know we don't need/offord right now. If i'm given i gun i try to make the best of it, and if i die and theres even a small chance i can save it, you will see me jump off ladders and doge ono's to try and save it. One of the things i know how to do best is hide and sneak(i HATE SOF so MUCH!). I can't count how many times i'd be right next to 3-4 onos and they'd walk right be me and never know then wounder how a TF PG and 40 senterys got set up in there hive and not know about it. My best weapons are shotgun, GL. I can't hit stuff dead on with the GL like some people can (it looks like i'm hitting them but it just gose right by them) but set me up with some marines with guns i will hurt/kill alot. What most people do wronge with the GL is aim right there foe and not where they WILL be. I make a "box" of nades so no matter what way you go you'll be hit by a nade. This works best when skulks/fades are daceing in the middle of marines and they are too busy trying to claw the marine to notice there right on top of a gernade, my goal is to hurt the alien bad enuf that the LMG/HMG/SG marines can take them out easy or to finish a alien thats running away that happens to be in my "box". I'm also the guy who spends 80 hours in a lan game finding all the wierd places you can build without stuff falling. If you play with me and i'm com youwill find senterys in the damest places.

Fond of suiciding of ledges when I'm about to be killed, preventing aliens from getting res.
Weaknesses: Gets ambushed early when scouting quite often. Unable to use pistol while moving because of its supreme accuracy (Yah, I think I rely on the lmg's range of fire to hit things). Likes to knife gorges, still too used to their old vulnerability, and not realising that two spits almost equal a bite. Fond of suiciding when I'm about to be killed, because I might be needed in that split moment.
Favored Targets: Skulks at 10% health
Strengths: Commanders, if you tell me to go somewhere, I will go there without fail, though it may take me several lives. I will always follow orders, as seemingly silly as they sometimes are. No matter if you clicked my waypoint in the middle of their base, I will still go. However, I prefer company on such ventures. I'm the best one to use as the builder-skulkbait. If you're worried about giving the aliens more resources, than I'm probably not the best choice. As such, I rarely go rambo.
Weaknesses: If I could figure out how to display each player's death record I'm sure I would be at the top of the list. I'm always the first to die in a game, in a group, and in the most heavily fortified locations. I often find myself serving as squad pointman/self-appointed sacrifice. My aim is so horrid I think I've killed more oni than lerks. I'm a strategy geek who enjoys NS but sucks at commanding. Don't waste you're res on me.
Ideal load-out: Lvl 1 armor/LMG and Welder
Favored targets:Onos.
Strengths:Rather good aim, Follows orders, Doesnt rambo (Unless ordered), In and out I do my job and get to the way point doesnt do anything out of mission paramiters.
Weaknesses:Assault, I am not that good moveing into a new area or attacking hive. (I need to be farmiliarized with the area look around see whats were and then I can do good)

Hmg: See it, spray it, hope it dies.
GL: Wheee, this entails to sitting behind the armory, firing 3-4 grens, then reloading your clip without the looooong reload animation. Aliens <i>hate</i> that, especially the <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> sitting outside your base.

<i>Favorite Loadout: </i>
N00b to Veteran Level Teamates (a pack of 6 to infinitum is my favorite) <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
<i>UsualLoadout: </i>
N00b to MiddleClass Teamates
<i>Favored Targets: </i>
Whatever,unless it's on my team or it's funny (well, I may still shoot to death a funny gorge, but it would be done with a tear in the corner of my eye)
<i>Summary: </i>
I enjoy teaming with people, and will rarely move out of my base without at least one guy going with me. I'm here for the fun, not to deseperatly win at all cost, always, by any means. Still, I try to put myself into the game alot and its ambiance, and as such, always try my best to help my team achieve victory.
<i>Known Strengths:</i>
<b>Helpful.</b>
Always trying my best to help others in all ways possibles, giving advices to newbie teamates, answering questions, following orders, stating what's going on around me in order for everyone (and particularly the com) to get an idea of what's going on and assume what needs to be done, and how, and so on. Even open to the idea of bait or sacrifice (if for a good reason).
<b>Communicative.</b>
Communication is golden. Better tell someone what he's doing wrong or tell him you recieved his message than ignoring him and letting him go to his doom, because you may fall with him.
<b>Stubborn:</b>
"DONT F4! NEVER SURRENDER!"
<i>Admited Weaknesses:</i>
<b>Average Aim.</b>
Still, I must say that I improved alot, since I was able to kill 2-3 straight coming skulks lately, before dying from the 3-4th one's bite. Before I could not even emagine that to be possible <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
<b>Pressure Sensitive.</b>
I'm a good com, from what I've seen of my games, but still, so much pressure form the fact that the fun of many other people is in your hands... Don't get me wrong: When I go com, I com well (providing assistance, listening to my men, giving orders and explanations, telling people what's going on all around, what upgrades are running, etc), staying cool, and doing it very seriously and as efficiently as possible but it's a bit more stressful than just taking your lmg and unloading your clips at the place you were ordered to go you know... And I usualy prefer to play to release pressure and enjoy myself <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
<b>Stubborn:</b>
"DONT F4! NEVER SURRENDER!"
Hard to say. Like many of you I favour sniping, but ns seems to lack this (well, this is more deliberate. How could you snipe at a skulk? Fade would be the only target big enough to hit with low enough health to actually be killed.) So how can you call yourselves assasins? The LMG is a great all-round gun, but over distances of 5m it really starts to spray. And as for shotgun, no way. Pistol has great accuracy, but suffers from a low clip (which is sensible, for balance.)
Anyway. I agree with WarpZone. The LMG is typically good enough to take down 2-3 skulks, 2/3 to maybe 1 fade, infinite gorges, and forget the onos. But in groups, you can trebble those figures. I find that a crippled marine team on mineshaft (still in marine start,) will always be able to take down a lone onos with or without onos before it does much damage. Such a big target and so many marines mean you can't go by yourself.
So to conclude, I am a groups member. I have years of Quake and Doom behind me so I am an ace shot. However I lack confidence to shout out commands, so usually just watch as a noob marine stumbles into a hive before we are ready.
Ideal Equip:
Welder. IT IS SO UNDER-ESTIMATED! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Summary: <Insert alien player name here>- WTH!??!?!?! HAX!!!!!
Marksman of high quality.
Known strengths:
Dodging: From playing and studying alien players in Natural Selection, Clanner knows what target alien will most likely do and dodge it.
Insane Accuracy: From countless hours of playing First person shooters, user has 96% accuracy with most guns. Insane Accuracy gives 6+ res per minute to squad Clanner is assigned to.

Extreme Loyalty: Clanner will almost ALWAYS follow orders, unless clanner knows that the commander is inexperienced.
Known weaknesses:
No Commanding Ability: Clanner has almost no commanding experience, as he has relied on others for leadership.
Idiots: From the Clanner's ability to aim well, aliens automatically assume Clanner has aimhack.
Bad Commanders: 85% of Clanner's defeats have been due to commanders recycling the infantry portals.
Devour: Clanner still has large weakness, as it is incredibly hard to dodge devour without getting killed by another alien lifeform.

Im ONLY good with LMG, HA/HMG/GL/SG is a waste for me.
And yes ive been para killed in HA...Several times in a row.
I always try to follow orders unless the order are like "Kill those 3 onos outside base with LMG Plz"
IM deadly accurate with LMG, but i suffer immense lag when there are 2-3 players on screen.
Strengths
Real Teamplayer
Follows Orders (well most)
Deadly accurate with lmg
Weaknesses
FPS (Even with a gf4ti i get 10-30 fps with 5-10 turrets on screen)
lag (56k, very crappy isp)
Crappy with anything other than vanilla outfit (SG/HA/HMG/GL)
No accuracy when it comes to pistoling
Hmm. About three ppl above you?
I personally luv the LMG, but still it has no advantage over HMG and Jetpack. "Slow to reload" I hear you say. "That's what the Jet is for..." I reply.
