<div class="IPBDescription">and I'm sick of marines camping</div> NS is a fun game... execpt that it revovles entirely around camping... a marine sits down at one of the many great camping points to choose from.. and just has fun...
I'd like to see some darker maps and less long hallways... I'm sick of NS being so rine favored. its no wonder Aliens get dominated in Comp play

Aliens do not get stomped all the time in competative play. If they ambush and parasite well, use some good teamwork. A chance they have they will says me.
Natural Selection involves teamwork and strategy. Teamwork meaning collaborating with your fellow members on goals such as flushing out that camping marine; instead of futilely trying to singlehandledly accomplish the goal. And strategy meaning using reasoning to figure out when to deploy certain tactics that work in certain situations. And if that includes camping, in a long hallway where aliens consistently appear, then develop a strategy to counter it.
Complain is not a strategy.
just because you cant skulk and on pubs nobody uses teamwork except the marine team doesnt mean it doesnt work.
once teamwork is used aliens can be damn good.
you mean cs dont you?
seriously, ONE marine is no match even for one skilled skulk. two= better. three= no chance. maybe you should start to play WITH your team when joining aliens instead of headless rushing and "rambo" action. deal with it, both teams are completely different in gameplay.
either you never played in a competative way or you are a member of the worst clan in the ns community when you get "bashed" by marines <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
and there are a lot of maps featuring narrow passages, darker areas, pro alien architecture. and if you arent satisfied with the mod... either start creating pro alien maps or make your own mod.
what disturbs me the most is the "ns rocks" in your sig unless its meant ironically...
generally:
pubbing == bad for teamwork
clan practices/scrims/games == good for teamwork
pubs+nubs == heartache
clanners berating nubs == headache
welcome to ns and every other HL mod. people camp--there's always a secondary route to avoid them, especially on non-linear maps like NS provides. people who do camp either do it effectively and rack up kills or do so ineffectively and die to mobile people who use thought to overcome disadvantage. in either case, one side is not doing its job well--eliminating the other team--and needs to think outside the box.
in NS mode atleast camping marines wont achive nohting, they will come to you sooner or later.
IMO skulks are ambush units only.

1) Natural Selection does <b>not</b> "revovle entirely around camping..."
Like mentioned in an above post, NS is a very dynamic game that involves alot more than just "camping"
2) "I'd like to see some darker maps and less long hallways... "
Why dont you start mapping? Or better yet, just turn the brightness/contrast down on your monitor, it will make everything more <i>atmospheric</i>
3) "I'm sick of NS being so rine favored."
NS is still in the beta stages. The NS team is still working on putting together a build that is first of all <b>fun</b> for both the sides, but at the same time <b>balanced</b> Maybe beta6 will be right up your alley.
4) "its no wonder Aliens get dominated in Comp play"
Do you play competitively? It dosen't seem so. Otherwise, you wouldn't have made that comment, or maybe you would have, seeing as how most of your posts make little to no sence.
Excuse me if i have offended you in anyway, sir.

Then don't attack the marine camping in the hallway. Parasite him, and run and chomp on a node or something. If it's necessary to kill him, rush him from several directions with your teammates.
Marines are projectile based and aliens are melee based. It's the basics of NS.
yeah it is... look at ghandi he complained a lot, and he liberated south africa from english oppresion... <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> what?
And gandhi's work was nothing compared to Mandela's struggle in India.
>_>
Another joke?
Ghandi also organized hunger strikes and nonviolent strikes.
Are you prepared to stop playing NS until you get your way? Are you prepared to get others to do the same?
No and No.
Your complaints will solve nothing, especially when they just take your OWN experiences, and not anythings else into consideration
Thanks!
Oh yeah and Ghandi liberated India, not South Africa. Someone needs a little more schooling, and a little less complaining <!--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-->
Avenger... this is your second thread (argueably) related to (spawn) camping. Honestly dude, just find a new server if your having this much trouble... it really isn't that hard.
Another joke?[QUOTE]
Nope keep dreaming...
Seriously though, in any game, you should have a strategy build around your advantages as a character. Taking Dawn Of War as a example. Space Marines just crush people at a higher tech level, and have heavy infantry as their standard. Chaos are just a slightly different variation of the marines, but don't rely too much on tech. Orks are just plain numbers, but the Eldar are different. They're almost like the Khaara, in which they are all about teamwork, and different specialised units. If you charge in with the Eldar, you are going to get licked. If you charge in as an alien, you will get licked. All games, and in real life, you need to work your advantages to your benefit. If you use etamwork, and hit and run tactics as an alien, you will have a much higher chance of surviving than if you do the Rambo thing, and charge headlong into the HMG wall...
Do you <i>really</i> have to ask?
P.s.: how can it can be "another" joke if the first one - funny though it may have been - was in earnest?

parasite him and go take down res nodes and lock down the whole map
cause although he might camp there for 10 mins, when you come back with a fade, his deadliness will be slightly diminished
