<div class="IPBDescription">and Why it's Good</div> I'm a big fan of Scent of Fear. Maybe it's just my play style, but SoF can be even more effective than cloaking at times. What makes it so wonderful is that it basically means that EVERY weapon works like parasite. Very useful for seeing prey approaching (you can set up ambushes just as well as cloaking <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->) and great for spotting those bloody jetpack marines. Well... having said that it's like every weapon is parasite I don't really need to say much more, since (hopefully) everyone knows how incredibly useful parasited targets are <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I find cloaking more useful on most occasions though.
Hehehehe, hell yeah... a lerk can just sit right outside of marine spawn and keep the entire team occupied by spamming spore clouds into the base.
My favorite alien class would have to be lerk with adren, scent of fear, and regen.... w0000 you can last for a long time.
On lerks: that is SO HILARIOUS. If you've ever played ns_11th_hr, you know that there's a little room near the marine spawn, where the CC is. Often when the marine base is under seige from the aliens, all the marines retreat to that little room. Sporing that room is HILARIOUS. You fire one spore cloud, and bing! up come the circles <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Not that I'm complaining - Scent of Fear is an incredibly powerful upgrade - but, based on the game manual's description of Scent of Fear, you'd think that it'd be possible to tell the difference between a slightly injured enemy and a nearly-dead marine. Unfortunately this doesnt seem to be the case. =/
Yes, it would be nice if they had different chades of color show about how wounded an enemy was so that you could pounce on the weakest member. As it is, as a Fade, I listen for "Need a medpack", then spam the hell out of the marine that just asked for one. Mwahaha!
*splash*
me on public chat: cancel that medkit, commander.
SoF is nice. Adren, regen, cloak for the breaking of the defenses, adren, regen, SoF for the mop up. So useful for finding that hiding marine in the vents.
