<div class="IPBDescription">when all the good rines leave at once</div> Alright, so heres what happened... we were playing Hera 7 VS 7 and I had an amazing marine team... really great group of guys that went out got me all the Res I could possibly want and locked down a hive, then.... my best 3 players leave (one had dinner and the other one's computer crashed.. I'm not sure about the third) and suddenly the table's have turned agaisnt me as my locked down hive is retaken and the rest of the rine team can't hold onto any res.... I had about 300 res in the pool because we were fully upgraded and my heavy train hadn't died yet... so I thought... "hmmm lets relocate to land pand!!!!" and so we did!
this was the base set up for my land pad last stand
1 elected RT on the pad
8 elected TFs surronding the RT
2 IPs built on boxes
1 armory Built next to boxes used as stepping stoll to get onto boxes
1 CC on boxes
1 armslab on boxes
10 or so Turrets surronding Elected TFs
and so the stage was set for me to hold off the alien scum till a rescue ship came to the land pad to save my men...... the first wave of onos was taken by surprised, with 3 hives they all used charge only to ram themselves getting caught in the mess of my Electric Fence of Death! I had 5 or so HMGers that tagged the rest of them as they ran back up the ramp... the taste of victory was in our mouth and another wave or two of onoses hit us hard but we held firm! oh yes we did. after the aliens decided that oni weren't working they went for AR fades, this is where things started to get ugly. I had plenty of R4k res to drop a handfull of GLs that held them at bay while my nilla rines welded the TFs and RT. finally after 45 minutes of holding off the 3 hive aliens with onyl one RT income we surcomed when 3 gorge/lerk combos (lerk list was on this server) bombed my TFs down and we fell apart to the next wave of onos...
even tho I lost this game... it was the funnest time of my life, all my marines were laughing on mics and having a blast, and the aliens thought it was pretty fun to. so I just wanted to share that expierence with you

heres a few tips on placing your marines
if you have jet packs get soem on the glass hallway and on the two support structs that hold the land pad up. there great vantage points to unload a clip or two of HMG into a fleshy fat onos. they allso are pretty sheltered from spores and AR from lerks and fades
although it was kinda funny to watch a guy with a GL try to pick a flying gorge out fo the air with it.....I mean for reals... who does that?
I mean were not talking close quarters where you have a chance of hitting them... were talking about celerity lerks flying around out in the open of land pand.... you have like... no chances of hitting them... but if your a really skilled/lucky GLer ... then I guess more power to you
Some of the best lan parties I've been to (just me and friends, no more than like 12 ppl) were the games where we would stage a story, and have a marine "hold off" period, where we would play just like you did, aliens outnumbering rines... and we had to hold off for 30 mins to win <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
That was good times
Then get half ur team up there, and have them wait... recycle everything and watch how long it takes em to find you, assuming no sensory (dont shoot them) its the last place they will look.....
Though ive done that exact relocation before only mine involved 200 res worth of mines on the ramp as well to **** off those intiial onos's rushing

I hate plugins. Play on a nonplugin server and win the correct way.

i had a tonne of res but the aliens had 3 hives. when the three onoses, two fades charged into my base, i knew it was over. So i recycled everything except my 2 OBS. then i kept on distressing and distressing and distressing and distressing. must've distressed like 20 times.
Actually, I am sure the rine team also had fun. Kharaa I do not know.
35 min ingame and never even see a 2nd hive can be quite anoying. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
So why would they include the lerklift plugin in the first place?
The most abusive use of the lerklift plugin that I've ever seen is this (Combat map; you may need more than 10 levels to get all this stuff):
JP/SG or GL/W3/Welder/Resupply marine
carrying
HA/HMG/A3/Welder/Resupply marine
This is pretty insane. They keep each other alive with the welders, the JP guy takes out the hive and the HA takes out aliens.
I like your style <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Also punting them off as onos is a great laugh <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Right outside, where the res node is.
Build the cc/ips on the glass walkway ftw! Then just have the pad as a giant turret/elec farm. Hide your lab/proto somewhere else, on the glass if theres room, other ledges if not. Make sure you have res for jps tho...
All in all an awesome endgame which had everybody smiling!
Actaully ya do when all the marines have HMG and JPs, and if a marine didn't have a JP he could climb up the armory onto the boxes and then from the armslab onto the comm chair for a pretty good vantage point of gorges and fades BBling.
and I don't mind if they used lerk lift to win... it was fun as heck and I personally like that plug-in.... that and spikes of course... but yeah it was one great game
IMO church, thats whats wrong with a lot of people who play ns. Some server installs some inane plugin and then gets huffy when people use it the way its meant to be used.
I've gotten banned from servers for spawn camping on servers with spawn protection, and banned for scripts on mp_bs1 servers. I've gotten banned for going fade at 0:30 into the game with a res sharing plugin.
Thats not to mention when people get mad at you for webbing marine start... the list goes on and on.
