<div class="IPBDescription">I meen.. it is insane</div> As long as your marines are semi-competent this strat is so strong.. And no aliens know how to defend it very well (set up ambush in hive + get fast Defense tower in hive).


The alien respawn time is so **obscenity**. On every pub server the aliens just die and then respawn 1 by 1 as thier hive gets toasted

    Its true its stong if enough the marines work together in a pub.I wouldn't go off from pub servers because I think of only few times when both sides were equally match and the marines went for a rush. The way to stop them is to ambush them before they take key points and build phasegates. It’s true the aliens spawn slower then the marines at the start but they are also faster and cover ground more easily.

    Really? And here I was thinking that marines using phasegate was faster than skulks running.

    Well, kidding aside, skulks are only marginally faster than marines. The only time they cover ground better is if they can use vent shortcuts.

    Its the best start when used with distress beacon. Whats that skulk? kill the whole team and thing your safe? Save your chuckle, here comes 7 more marines all at one time 3 secs later.
