...so the Kharaa wait for them to move it. Test the patience of the marines. It really doesn't take long for marines to get annoyed enough with being parasited before they start moving to get their kills. Also, there is always a way to get behind the marines, even good ones. If you take down 2-3 marines in a camping group, your team now has a chance to get in there and take out the rest. It really isn't that difficult to break a camp, as long as at least 3 skulks know what you're doing.
Understand also that marines play better, until they get shotty, if they use defensive offense. That means moving slower, in groups, covering all sides and always looking to be attacked, all the while advancing towards the hive. Camping is part of this strategy. If you're going to play Kharaa, understand the strategy and then learn how to overcome it. You'll find that your kill/death ratio and point amount skyrocket if you play smart.
I love co_...it proves that strategy can be integral to deathmatch style gaming.

In response to <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=89696' target='_blank'>this thread</a>, I'm looking at the current stickied threads. So far, I only see two staff posts in here, neither of which says exactly why this topic is webbed. In addition, the non-beta 3.0 "final" release is already out, so this discussion isn't as applicable anymore. Unpinned.

Anyway, 15 is a decent time.. it isnt too short and it isnt too long.
