<div class="IPBDescription">parasite... works wonders</div> i played yesterday and was a skulk hiding in a dark spot on the ceiling in (cant remember map, its the one with 2 big lockdown doors right outside the marine base).
There was a resource point below me, and some marines came out to get it. I waited a sec, and all but 1 marine left. The last marine started building a resource tower, and i tagged him with parasite from my hiding spot.
He spun around, and looked all over, but didnt see me, and went back to building. I let him have another parasite, and he looked around again, this time going all over the room. He went back to building, and i shot him again.
This time i could tell he was getting paranoid. He ran around the room, shooting everywhere. After about 10 sec, he went back to building. I shot him again, and he just freaked out, firing everywhere and jumping and using the radio comm.
A sec later he went back to building, but looked around occasionally. I tagged him again and just dropped on his head, biting it off. He died, and i took out the resource tower.
That was one classic moment. I suggest other skulks do this too.

I play on a LAN with my roommate and he's almost impossible to kill with a heavy mg and a jetpack. So I was guarding this resource tower because I knew he was nearby. As soon as he started shooting, I'd bite a couple times in my little hidden spot. As soon as he heard it, he'd scramble around for about 30 seconds, even though I was nowhere near him. Then he'd return to the tower. I did this to him for about 2 minutes and he was getting really paranoid and I could hear his Commander talking to him using voice chat. He kept doing sensor sweeps and saying "I don't see him! I don't see him!" because I was in an elevated position. Eventually, my roommate just started spraying the whole room. He got lucky and got me after a while. But I pinned him down for about 4-5 minutes and that's a good thing, considering that he kept single-handedly taking out one of our hives (thus the reason for me distracting him while it was built).

LOL
my FIRST day playing some one pulled the cloaked onos bit on me it was fn great lol
I gota try the parasite one though ;D
me: "Morpho"
morpho: "what"
---little pause for effect---
me: "we are watching"
then watch as he spins around the room, and calls 'xenoform spotted' on radio. Then i ate him.
Plus, if you do this enough, you can even freak out people that you CANT see. just randomly pick a name and ask if they feel safe, or say they should be checking the ceilings more.
Mind games are wonderful.

Ihave seen ppl who will start flamming you for that (blech tools)
lol I love this aspect of the game (chukle and taunt are 2 of my fav things)
as a side note, when you kill some one you can spam out a taunt b/c they are still 'there' its great ;D
