Just some quick advice if you want to know the game (mostly speaking about regulat ns_games, not co_games): 1) Read the manual <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/view?action=manual' target='_blank'>here</a>, the community manual is the most up-to-date (last version of the game, which is version 3.0). 2) Read the forums and use the search function before you got any more questions. 3) co_games in my opinion can help you to find out about the weapons but not (in pubs) about teamplay, which in my opnion is what you should find in a <u>good</u> ns-game (teamplay). (Thats all about co_games, move on to ns_games and play co_games when you don't have the time to play long games). 4) Play as a rine first, not as an alien as it is the most difficult part. As a rine you are given orders by your commander, do what he asks. If there are no orders, just follow other players. As a rine you will see the different alien lifeforms and their abilities and hopefully you will learn how to counter them, if not go back to 1) and/or 2) 5) Then create your own server with sv_cheats set to 1 (sv_cheats 1) so you can practice as a commander (so you have an idea of what he is actually doing in his chair) and as an alien to learn about the alien abilities. After having read the manual you should know all the rine and alien abilities. 6) Now that you know what the rines are capable of, play as an alien. When you are new just go gorge and drop a resource tower or a chamber that your team wants to be build (either defence chamber, movement chamber or sensory chamber), then go skulk again and try to stop/ambush the rines with the rest of your team.

I don't see the reason for a derogatory response. If you want you can do that, I have no problems with that, I'm allways willing to learn if you have something to teach.
damn you, Xtof, when you start off announcing an inside joke, the least you could do is expect some kind of British humor-sytle reply, especially from me!
