Sick Of Combat?

<div class="IPBDescription">And love the kharra</div> Here's a novel idea although it'll take some effort.

Get all your alien team mates to fade instead of wasting so many points upgrading their skulk. It's dead simple. Get to level 4 and then the rest of the levels come much more easily.

8 fades with cara, regen > 8 HAs with HMG. Throw in a lerk if you can actually persuade people to use tactics on your server and your unstopable. You don't even have to worry about dieing because you'll respawn.

Soon enough all aliens will be doing it and combat will be pointless. Then all the new players will learn to play NS instead and we'll have loads more fun.

    actually if you're sick of combat, I'd say go for classic

    This is an old idea really. The counter to it...is to not let the aliens have a chance to get to fade. Move together and push the hive. You normally only see this on 10min default servers. Then the marines need to spawn camp and its over. Very easy to do.

    simple before level 5 marines are better, after level 5 aliens are better.

    If you dont understand that your a nub.

    gg, thankyou and goodnight.

    Actually its completely impossible to do unless the marines are stuck together with sellotape <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    I know what you mean though, if you get one single good rush into the hive room early on gg. If you can't stop your team mates spreading to all corners of the map then you may as well give up after having fun for a few mins until fades arrive. This is ssuming aliens are not being equally or more retarded, eg no one gorges, saves the hive, goes fade or even uses teamwork.
    About the only fun in combat is ramboing, though i have been know to enjoy ha welder gangs.

    I never quite understood the obsession with super skulks.
    Skulks are kool and I like em, but cmon, even with all upgrades you have to be stealthy because 1 shottie and your most likely dead. 2 if not.
    And Lerks and fades, you respawn as them again. No need to rebuy them.
    It just seems logical to me there should be flocks of fades and lerks.
    I always see half or more of the team stay skulk.
    the few times I saw 80%+ go fade, ALWAYS ended in aliens winning in under 2 mins.

    Marines either win in 2 minutes, or aliens win in 8 minutes.

    Pretty simple.

    But that doesn't make combat boring. It can be fun to lose (as long as it's not omgawd spawn camp).

    I actually posted this because I've never seen it done. Even when I've been on teams desperate to win they've never entertained this idea.

    What about gorge rush.. level 1 upgrade -> straight to gorge

    Then sit in the hive and healspray them as they come in? It might work <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Another prob I have.
    I dont use focus. I dont like it much being I have a slower
    ROF and I find 2 points better used elsewhere.
    But I hate when marines cry about aliens using focus.
    But its perfectly fine for a marine to use a shotgun, and spawn camp.
    Shotgun is something 99% of people will get. Whether they stick with it or move on, theyre getting it. Thats 1 hit kills in most cases.
    Focus makes aliens attack slower, damage CC slower, etc. and 2 points again.

    Im sick of the "OMG h4xxx foocuxx.sz"

    god i hear that, i hate when people complain about a part of the game, just like most everyone does in CS with the AWP. "get over it, learn to counter it, stop sucking you stupid noob" is what i want to scream every time

    I skulk most of the time in combat, it's the best way to practice for classic.

    The main reason for Superskulking is that in the late game, it's hilarious when you actually kill anything.

    Hows it hilarious killing something with a superskulk? Its fairly simple taking out any JP or LA, and even a lone mediocre HA. Skulking is just frustrating and/or stupid on more than 10 minute round servers - GLs and even stray HMG hits spell instant death half the time, and not because of any fault of yours other than having lifeforms on your team likely to detonate those grenades prematurely, toasting you.

    Exactly. Hence I tend to prefer smaller games of 8-14 people in almost all net games.
    Higher than that, most of the time im dying from stray rounds and grens.
    When its smaller, it seems to me to be more skill vs skill.
