<div class="IPBDescription">regarding MT</div> Commanders may not realize but when you have MT you can see aliens on the mini-map as little red dots.
If you pay attention to this and use your head you've got the best intel you can imagine.
Learn to recognize the gorge by his distinctive movement pattern, as he passes near an outpost/squad assasinate him.
Learn to recognize when the aliens are distracted, strike where they are not.
Learn to pre-empt their attacks, phases are hard to defend when the skulks are upon them, get the intire team deployed befor the skulks arrive.
Learn to spot the tactics they are using, if they're building defs in a vent it'll really mess up their day if you get some acrobatic marines to boost someone up there and knife em down.
Motion Tracking is a nice upgrade for your marines.
But its an invaluable upgrade for your chair.

Without MT the comm is pratically blind.With MT is like they have a radar station.Ala Command and Conquer.
well said, blueGhost
It's some 200% better. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
The intel you get is *INSANE.* Nearly nerf-worthy I should say, probaby'll be limited to a certain radius in the future. But then again, it's not that hard to hide an obs somewhere on the map...
IS THIS POSSIBLE IN THIS GAME?<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> I MEAN WE HAVE MT FOR GODS SAKE!!!!!!!!
even with this reasoning, he continued calling me a wall hacker <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
Hmm, good point never saw it that way.
Usually when i com, i help my team by "marking" aliens with waypoints, before i upgrade MT. It is not very easy, if they are moving, but several times i have seen an alien in dark corner or in to a roof, when marines enters a room. Probably that skulk hold's still and waits that marines gets close, so putting wp on them isn't very hard.
And that wp stays on top of that alien, until someone kills it or if i put another wp somewhere else.
And marking a gorge in early game is great idea. For example:
Map is eclipse. Aliens starting hive is in main and probably gorge moves in to a compurer core. So one scan in comp core and wp on top of a gorge <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
from my perspective it looks like the tag dissappears and then re-appears when a marine can see it (the computer decides if he can see it so it's good for people who overlook skulks)
is that what the marines see as well? or can they continiously track it with the tag?
