Supergoku, Yet Another Great Come Back.

DBZ_SuperGoku · February 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">All hail to a traitor!!!</div> Hello everyone, I was amazed at the number of replies I've got from the last post. Well, this one will amaze you.

The map was ns_nothing, one of the map where who ever get cargo first is the winner, well it happened to be an alien's hive at that game. A guy was commin' and he secure power silo. Because I've played him before and sorta know that he wouldn't be able to take The great viaduct even though we have power silo phase gate up. So I asked him if I can command. He said yes, and then I sent out some troop to go to Cargo. And I have a few of them build up a phase gate near the right side of the cargo RT, or south of cargo if you look it through comm's minimap. I then build up a res nozzle, drop some mines so I can place it myself. One of the reason is why I dont like wasting mines on noobie. (Dont you just hate it when they put a bunch of them on walls where alien have to jump a meter to at least have it ignited?) So I mines our phase gate. Then when I came back to base the old comm was on it. "Get off comm", so I yelled at him cause I just wanna secure Cargo with some TF and Turrets so I can siege it. But because it was a 12 on 12, the alien respawns really slow and marines just own it everytime an alien or 2 pop up. Results, the cargo hive went down, end of story......NOT!!!

One gorge survived, so I hit f4 cause I just dont wanna waste times looking for him. A min went by and the gorge was still alive so I went on spectator and found out he was building in The great viaduct. He's constantly being heal by one def chamber and a hive was building. So I said to myself, "ahh what ta heck I will just reconnect and tell the marine his position". The problem was I can't go back to marines cause it's full. So I took my chance as alien. And by some odd maricle the hive went up, I respawn first and I bit down 2 marines, who were messing with our gorge (step away from the gorge!) and the rest of the team respawn back. We all said OMG, and one of them said if we win this, this will be the greatest come back ever. But the problem is they have two hives, one at cargo and one at power silo. So I tell them that they have cargo and power silo is not yet secure ( me a traitor? ), but we should all take down cargo cause of the res nozzles. One of the reason why I want cargo back is that it has 3 res nozzle there, and marines are getting 2x more res than usual cause of the number of players. So we all gather up in vent, I went gorge and promise to heal them. ANd then we all rushed in. You wouldn't believe how fast phase gate and TF went down when 6 skulks are biting it, because I was there I was able to heal them. And all of the sudden 7 turrets just became lifeless.

But we haven't win that yet, right when we got that turrets a guy then got killed by a HMG. So another guy went gorge with me to help secure, I was a bit **** but res was running fast. I then secured 2 res nozzle while he take one and then I went back to skulk to get some kills. He then build up def while the other gorge make his way to cargo to get a hive up. The great viaduct was being attack by flying marines armed with HMG. But they coudln't get a good aim at it because OCs were firing at marines and one of them actually ran out of fuels 20 feet in the air. *blaat*.

Second hive up, I then go silence *hackcapace* skulk and managed to kill a few HA HMG from behind, I got around 4 that game

Is not all my work. I sorta steal some from fades and I was behind a few def chambers <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>. I then went lerk to cover fades with umbra but got killed by lag, so I went back to silence hackcapace skulk again. From that point on forward we were in business, to make long story short we got power silo back from the help from gorge fade lerkish umbra comboes. After that a few went onos to take down their base. And so was I <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> I was the cloak hackcapace silence ONOS, but the base was comepletely demolish before I got there, one Marine got away so the whole team went looking for him. I then thought that it would be funny to go upside down ONOS so I typed the following into console; m_yaw -.022 (default .022, reverse horrizontal mouse), cl_pitchup 360 (default 89, makes you go over 360 degress, like the exocist) But sadly no one thought it funny, nor can I see my self being upside down and it was getting me dizzy so I switch back. We joke a bit that one remaining marine was gonna make a come back. I was switching back to a skulk when I saw a lerk went through marine vent and tore that marine to peices, I was kinna sad that I didn't get him.

Anyway, that's the rest of it. Sorry about the useless details but the point is that you shouldn't give up hope when you get mad res comming <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> Even the odds are against your team.

Peace, Traitor.

I hope you enjoy this story that just happened two hours ago.

i liek caek

Urza · February 2003

Played the gorge in a similar game on whats it called, nancy?

Link · February 2003

Ironically, I just played a rather similar game on eclipse. We started with Comp core. I was guarding the gorg whilst everyone rushed. The marines relocated (Unknown to me at the time) to eclipse command. Me and Yoz (My gorg) were in maint, having built a res.* Anyway, CC comes under attack, so we all resh in. In the melle that followed, me, yoz and most of the rest of the team are killed, and the hive destroyed. However, one guy who had gorged for a res figured what was happening and got to maint and started building. So, whilst they secure CC to the hilt, we get the hive up and come back to life. Cue 3 defs etc.
Now, the problem we had was that they had killed CC by Phase/TF/Seige combo just outside, and then had gone in and secured inside CC with another phase and a pile of turrets, so if we took out one phase, they came and rebuilt.
Eventually, we killed off the outside phase and TF, then started building our way in, eventually taking CC back. After that, it was pretty much a walk in the park, but by rights they should of had us.
Dosen't sound like much, but a win like that is worth a hundred games that are crap.

*This is a cunning tactic that Yoz uses. He gorgs, and gets a res then starts saving for a hive. As soon as anyone else has 33, they find themselves an empty res point and go gorg, build it, go skulk. It is an excellent way to build up res fast.

One problem with your "story".
You said that you could not re-join marines, so you went alien instead. NOT POSSIBLE. Once you spectate, you can join NEITHER team, and if you go to the ready room after being on a team, you can only rejoin the team that you quit. All of this is true unless you rejoin the server.

I was in this game also under the name Monstret and at first i was marine but latter changed to alien when i got disconnected and marines were full. I really didnt find the aliens winning so much spectacular since...

1. COMMANDER SUCKED SO BAD. possibly the worst commadner i have seen.

2.we already knew the gorg was at great via but only 2 of us attacked and the rest of the "not so smart team" just hanged around at base asking for guns

This combined, a sucky team (except someone people) and a sucky commander = marine loss, alien victory
It doesn't matter that u got 2 hives, if the team sucks u still lose.

DBZ_SuperGoku · February 2003

Yeah well, but the marines had HMGs and were very wealthy. If they only eject him out.

Urza · February 2003

not too sure about Yoz's tactic.
1) all skulks go gorge about the same time. A quick hmg rush will kill you. Or even just a rush, pg, tf, siege. Too vulnerable
2) Is it resource-effective? No. cost are about 6 x 13 = 78 res for gorging, and even then it costs a lot of time for the gorge to get 80.

I've never seen this tactic however actually in a game.

DBZ_SuperGoku · February 2003

Where did you get that from? I was the only one who went gorge to heal skulks so we can take down cargo.

Johny_Cage · February 2003

SuperGoku it seems marine was full of noobs including you.
you had silo and you just killed cargo and aliens had 1 player (gorge) left
Hmmm where do you first look for him ?!
AT THE 3rd HIVE DUH - VIA

i cant believe you "couldnt find him" and you had to go to spectate to see that the gorge was in Via BUILDING THE HIVE !!!!
geez
get a life

You must be one of Canadianmonk3y's friends.

not only did you hit f4 before the game end, but you used spectator mode to find a "hidden" alien. not exactly sportsmanship is it?

Wheezer · February 2003

Heh, SuperGoku, leave out some details next time. They are upsetting some eager flamethrowers out there =)

Anyways, I was in a similar game in the same map. I joined after the game started as an alien. Somehow the marines had secured both cargo and powersilo.
Well, secured might be an overstatement. Powersilo had turrets, but cargo only had a phasegate, but a lot of mines. We were attacking both hives ferociously and managed to take cargo back before they got a tf up.
So, we started building like little badgers and we got the second hive going. Unfortunately this had taken some time and when we saw ha/hmg I thought we were screwed.

Anyways, the hive finished and stayed up for a couple of minutes to allow at least 3 or 4 fades. They inflicted some damage to the marines, but they still got cargo turreted up. Again we were stuck with just one hive, only this time the marines were stronger.
Fortunately we had a cunning gorge and maybe a not so cunning commander =)

Don't take this the wrong way, the marines were organized. But somehow they let the gorge siege their home base, which was the winning move.
Unfortunately for us a heavy attack squad of marines were taking out Great Viaduct. We didn't have much defenses due to their previous attack where they got a siege up before we destroyed the base. Somehow the gorge managed to build up a considerable amount outside the marine home base. I didn't see the actual siege of the marine base, but it sure got their attention.

Taking advantage of the turmoil I managed to get above powersilo and fix up some dcs. As a lerk I kept spiking some heavies defending the hive, but they couldn't shoot and weld at the same time, and they had to leave to defend their base.
That's when I swooped down to eat the phasegate, up for some healing, then down again for some turrets.
It went down pretty quickly and I immediately went gorge to build the hive.

At that time the Great Viaduct went down due to heavy marine pounding.
We were down to zero finished hives!!!
I sat in the corner, just waiting for the heavies to come storming in.

But for some reason they never came. I looked up to the marine base and they were still struggling with the chambers =)

It bought us enough time to finish the hive, get some defenses up and start assaulting Viaduct. Somehow we got the second hive going and fades swarmed cargo bay. Before I could build the hive, the game was over.

It was a pretty cool game, but also pretty weird. From a hopeless situation to a glorious victory.

Pika-Cthulhu · February 2003

FYI guys, dont flame him cause he dindt find the last gorge, he could have been anywhere hiding it out. I AM surprised that they didnt make a move for Viaduct right off the bat, but hey, noob teams suck, and only 2 guys seemed to care. If the gorge had been hidden elsewhere just simply drawing out the game or saving enough res to run in and start a hive up, I doubt that he would have been found by any other means. Heck, he could have had an offensive heal base in Red Vent and sat there waiting for res to run out and build up the hive, and you probably wouldnt have found him.

Anyway, Comebacks are fantastic, but usually involve a below average Marine team, or Commander. Otherwise, its Borderline Impossible.

Question · February 2003

LMFAO only 2 people went viaduct?

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

HoMIciDaL_PuPPy · February 2003
