<div class="IPBDescription">...the marines are kicking your ass.</div>This is NOT COUNTERSTRIKE OR ANY OTHER DM GAME. TEAMWORK TEAMWORK TEAMWORK. PATIENCE PATIENCE PATIENCE. CAMPING IS OKAY! I just played another game as alien. Me and two other guys just kicked 5 marines #####. Took an hour, but we had'em trapped. We owned the map. This is how we started.

Trouble at a Hive? Everyone rushed over and pwned them. Then we'd wait, cuz sure enough they'd try to attack the supposedly "weakened" turrets and stuff we had. We camped in a vent right behind where they'd show up to shoot our buildings. 3 upgraded skulks on 4 heavy/gl toting marines was a helluva a fight. We all attacked and killed the nearest one, then one fool paniced and naded himself along with me, the other two realized they couldn't be using grenades in such close quarters. Well, by the time they whipped their pistols or knives out they both a bite away from death. Two bites later, we had were tearing off toward their base to start an assault.
I harrassed them from one side while the other two evolved to one onos and one gorge. The gorge sat back and kept healing the onos while onos owned 'em.
Meanwhile, I was dodging in and out of vents. Hiding, wait, wait, attack and distract then camp again. I had a couple of routes and kept moving all the time so as to not get caught by grenades. When I was killed, I'd rush back and do it some more. Meanwhile the onos had cleared out an entire room of turrets. They had now caught on that I hadn't been their only problem the whole time and sent gl carrying goons to deal with the onos. So now I become the onos. The gorge had died but now came over to help me. You can see where I'm going with this!
When we did get killed off, we'd assault another section entirely. Coordinated and constant. Gorge would load any new found areas with off chambers and such. We slowly kept at it until we had their base pretty much surrounded. One lerk, 2 onos, it was an awesome ### whupping.

Well, anyway, as soon as people stop just coming on, "ooh this is harder and more complicated than counterstrike," they will do better. Anyway, ya, my $.02. (Well, maybe $.10)

Then theres the marines tactics of filling each hive location with 6+ sentry guns. Do that and the aliens cannot win
Hardcode resources arghh! (yes I know you're doing it)
Also the problem its with resources, marines earn them too fast, so they can spam all the map with a million turrets in no time, leading to a extra looooooooooooong game (5 hours) or an alien loss.
I´ve played a 5 hour game, i saw how ppl joined and left the game while we were fighting trough hera, it was hard, but we finally won, and when i looked at the clock i noticed that the game lasted almost five hours.
situation 1 or 2 hives manny more mariens that aliens... (###### stupid newbs who only know how to play marines)
and a bad commander...........................................
lv 1-4 sucks lv 3s ok but 4lv is ###. 5 is better. Its no super weapon run into 3 turrets your dead dun into 7 turrets 4 guys and some other stuff and no way and any good commander will have 6-7 base with 7 turrets each a gate, ammo and.............. each alien sould be at least 2x more powerful then....... becouse they go off by them selfs more
