<div class="IPBDescription">5 hours strait</div>I Kharaa hive mind com'ed on a aussie server.
tram, took alien expanse, went double while was doing this took server then went for observation. we ended up pinning the marine in there base and three time we had them down too just the CC, no res nodes no power core, no ip. yet they still came back.
as we chased bots around trying to stop them.
yet they still came back.
they broke out yet we put them right back in there place. they built a IP on the ceiling. and we ad a hard time cracking them from there. they escaped pushed to double and took out a hive while some elite bugger decided to solo tram hub and observation and server.
from there they really started to hit us hard across the board but i managed to keep the res up burnt through 800 carbon to get a steady stream going again. by this point all my originally hydra spam at all choke points had been crushed. they took down our two hives and i rebuilt them again now the DI is in every vent and drifters hidden in every location i took marine expanse and had 5 hives for a brief window when they hit tram hub area and then alien expanse. eventually they got cluie to my res cycling and upgrading and sync too out 4 nodes all at the same time off the back end of them deploying sentry's in double.
from re couping the 4 nodes being hit synced we lost another while i got the 4 back up. we then lost marine expanse as tram hub was coming back up they hit spawn. and we kept on top of there res they took out spawn but by this point i had the nodes back up re built spawn only to lose the nodes again and the res gain hadn't really paid for its self.
with all khara guarding one node as we climbed our way back up from the bacterium sess pool my virus scanner kicks in kicking me out of game DCing me from 3 DCs today when the game started going down hill. this time how ever i asked some one else to com in my leave. i got back on and with two coms things rapidly picked up the second com went back to fade and we started to get right back on top of them again we had hyrdas in most room each node with a upgraded crag upgraded nodes and upgraded whip. they pushed through double while we held them back hitting marine expanse on the side.
i was currently re connecting all the infestation tracks again as there last push to observation getting out previously one protected node was hit with flamers with upgraded spawn and alien expanse and just about to rebuild after observation was taken out and DI in every vent reconnected every DI track / link the server op decides to restart the server ARGHHHH.
at this point we had a stable lerk 2 fades a skulk and a gorge on the ground all working on voice coms as a team which we hadnt had nearly all game. i swear we would of won.

And I think you mean 4 hives. It's impossible to have 5 hives on tram, because the marines wouldn't have a CC and the game would have ended.
I had such games in NS1 and this is the best thing in general, to have such long, action-filled, strategic, tactical, astonishing game_rounds, that you wouldn't forget for a loooong time :)
I still remember the first night NS1 released and it felt like we've played one round for hours :)
nice report!
What you describe sounds really awesome.. I which I were there...
Sorry marines, i was kinda spamming infestation but you guys where burning it off rather well.
EDIT: BTW, last i counted there where between 30-35 hydras down and it didn't seem to slow anything down but they did seem to have trouble hitting there targets.....or....marines are just that fast.....
I've seen this happen while I was commanding and it's usually because no one is willing to make a push. as marines a few gls can take out a massive amount of buildings, provided they're protected from fades, and as aliens: hit and run the powernodes can take out anything, provided the marines don't do a macstack. macstacks pretty much decide the game. need to be fixed.
I even spawn killed "JESUS" and he thanked me with a grenade to the chops....lol. I will most defiantly despite ping and all return to play on that server and hope to have another experience like that soon.

You know, defiantly almost works here.

He will defy playing on low ping servers, or will defy the common conception that you need to play on a low ping server. Just saying.

If he actually wrote in good English? Sure, it'd be fun to read about games like that from time to time :P
Sounds like an awesome game, but it's too bad they're so few and far between right now.
I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not in your reply. Although it did make me laugh.
How to put it... I don't want the OP to feel bad, or anything, but at the same time, I would NOT read articles written that way.
It's cool if an excited guy's posting about a good time he had, and not worrying about his spelling/grammar/whatever. A regular blog or something, though? Way too unprofessional to come back to regularly.
My spelling aint to great and all this leads to a lose in grammar.
Those that know me on these forms, realize there isn't much I can do about it. Although I have been busy with uni and not around much. I still pop in for a read or two or to voice my opinion. At which point it should show how truly epic this game was.
Thanks for reading and a look forward to another game just as good as this.
Do you have a website for the word "straight", as well? Sorry, I like to tease people who misspell -- I do it to my SO, too. Sorry about your dyslexia...sometimes I feel that way, but I'm kind of obsessive compulsive which makes me edit and correct constantly.
I didn't read the entire block of text but from what I caught it sounded like you guys almost purposely let the game go that long rather than finishing off one side. I don't know what happened though, so I shouldn't judge.
I totally agree with the grenade launcher comment and the MAC stack issue. Two GLs and a flamethrower can clear rooms easily. MACs stacking or flying into or out of map geometry was the only reason that game was probably extended past destroying the IP the first time or so.
I want games to be somewhat like this...not aggravating, but you know..."EPIC", I guess.

Haha, maybe it was whatever you stepped in, huh?
And women's boy shorts.
Yeah.
Dyslexia, what?
