    Besides F4 nothing has been found out and communicated yet. At least to me.

    Seriously? Haven't you been around long enough to remember <span style='color:#000000;background:#000000'>"Well, they've got an Onos, let's all just F4"</span>

    F4 did send you the Readyroom, an isolated Area where you could watch the Action in certain Areas, depending on the Map.
    Usualy it's the staging Area for a Map, where you decide which Team you want to join. To date, NS is the only Game that had this Mechanic.

    Also, the whole Team F4ing (yes, it reads like wh...ing) leads to a Victory by default for the opposing Side.

    Yes! This man gets +1 internet for knowing that F4 is just as much of a noun and a verb at the same time as google is!

    That is not entirely correct. As far as I remember one team has to have less than 50% players than the other team.

    I believe it depended on the server configs and the admin could set it auto win to whatever % he wanted.

    I can tell only by Experience, and it required the whole Team to fhore or ragequit to end the Round where I played.
    Back then I hadnt that much interest in the Commands and Vars, much less experience with Servers. I just played.

    I remember back from when I played that F4 was indeed a thing the whole team had to do to forfeit the round. Noone remembers these scenarios?

    last remaining marine that placed a CC somewhere to relocate the base
    last remaining Gorge that is hiding in an inaccessible part of the map for marines by normal travel with lots of DC+OC's?

    Both resulting in angry people who did ragequit back to the RR, which in itself resulted in whining of those same players after a while or votekick for the last remaining playah

    Theres two alien in the video, not just the Onos.


    Where the gas appears out of the floor (or steam) look in the grid, you will see the little fellow crawling through the vent. He then hangs next to the onos on the left side of the screen when the door is blown off.

    Its the skulk. I think ?

    Usualy led to a Ping'n'Boom Party (scanning out that sucker and sieging his bunker).

    I wonder if Ping of Death is still in? That was annoying to be honest.
    If the Marines can not kill some supportless Zerolevel Aliens they don't deserve that Victory.

    Not sure what Ping of Death means, but I think you're refering to siege cannons being able to kill units (hence, kill the last gorge).
    And no, they got rid of that a while back, dunno when exactly though.

    If you can tear your eyes off the onos long enough, you'll see a skulk run up the wall on the left.

    He's referring to the "you don't have any hives, loser!" noise.

    edit: Stop bumping me! Haven't you seen that C<sup>3</sup> brutally pwned this thread?
