<div class="IPBDescription">how to ambush a marine the right way.</div> The situation: Your running down a long hall twords a lone marine who doesnt hear you. You come at him from behind. What should you do?

First of all you bite him ONCE! After the first bite is were many many poeple make the mistake of staying on the gorund.

After the first bite IMMEDIENTLY climb up the wall he is nearest to. The marine will ALWAYS turn around guns blazing. Make shure once your up the wall you position your self right above his head and begin to bite from the wall. The marine will franticly look back and forth while jumping, he will be killed.

This strategy has been tested numorous times and WILL work on any lone marine, HA or LA.

the reason: the marine will always jump and look twards the sound of the first bite, and the second he sees that you are not behind him he will jump and turn around again. In these few seconds you have:

1) Not allowed the marine to know were you are

2) Kept the Bite push from separateing you and your target

3) remained entirely unharmed during the whole process.

    Nice Idea ! Thanks
    It's better than biting once, pseudo dodging(and getting hit) and biting twice.
    I wonder what that does with silence.

    Listen to this man. He's pwnzored me and many other marines using this little tactic. It's hard as hell to stop unless you know they are going to try it.

    OR you carry on biting them and in 1 or 2 more bites they'll be dead (about 2 secs), instead of spending another 20 secs running around giving a chance to the marine to let him/her shoot and/or kill you?

    Running on walls will most likely kill you. If the marine can aim, you will die.

    Im just giving out much more advaced way of ambushing a marine. If you happen to play on a noob server or happen to not have the skill to use this tactic then dont, not like i care. More kills for me.

    I'll try that... this ones probably better for soloing lone heavies. For me, it's bite bite (or bite bite bite with lvl 1 armor <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> ) and the marines dead.

    How bout some tactics for ambushing a small group?

    With lone vanilla marines it'd probably just be easier to bite the crap out of his **** and unless you get unlucky and send teh marine flying with the first bite there fore giving him more time to turn and kill your butt you can get a way with it. However with HA this could be seriously useful. I just find the best thing with an HA is just to jump and spin like a looney and hope you get the marine in a panic where he just holds the trigger and sprays randomly but even then it takes very little of a shotgun/hmg to kill a skulk.

    Funny, I thought NS was a TEAM game.

    All that isn't really necessary. Running on the walls and such, like people before stated if they are a good shooter that doesn't really help. Running around in a circle is sufficient enough for me to kill an HA.

    Since NS uses the HL Engine wallclimbing isnt that usefull of a combat tool. The best you can do in combat with wallcrawl (after the fight has started) is jump onto a wall and use it to jump higher up. It isnt like AvP, AvP:Gold, or AvP2 where your perspective changes and where you dont fall of the ceiling or wall for moving forward while looking up or away from the wall.

    Just remember that for the first 2 or 3 minutes of the game to just be relentless and get 2 bites in, takes like 2 seconds, and kill them. Wow a whole other bite at lvl 1 armor! You dont need to do all he has said unless your playin with the marine or there are multiple marines in the fight with you (ie your alone vs 2+ marines).
