Almost As Good As Trying To Knife Lerks...

<div class="IPBDescription">Yes, I'm talking about enhanced sight</div> For every other upgrade, there is an obvious purpose. Some upgrades are used more often, which makes them more useful. Carapace is used every time you fight a marine, so is considered to be one of the most useful upgrades, while silence is only useful when you're trying to sneak up on a marine that doesn't have motion tracking, so it's not used as often. But is there ANY situation in which enhanced hive sight would be useful? If the aliens had sniper rifles, and they were supposed to fight each other, maybe... but really, what's the point?

    I don't know about you, but every once in a while I find it useful to see marines trying to hide in very dark spots.

    And I've knifed lerks.

    yeah i find it useful cuz my card won't let me overclock gamma, and i was using a 3rd party prog for a while but it gave me problems...

    and plus it decreases your reaction time <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I use it primarily to see grenades and mines.

    It makes grenades all nice and glowy. That might happen in the normal flashlight mode too though.

    Actually, I've knifed more lerks then any other alien type simply because the slightly stupider lerks hide in umbra and let me walk right up and stab them to death. Seriously.

    I suspect he meant knifing lerks out of the air, not umbra-campers.

    Enhanced hive sight is quite useful. Especially for the last marine hiding somewhere or any dark maps. I use it regularly.

    Now... scent of fear on the other hand...

    Scent of Fear? useless?

    You've obviously never had a Marine hide on you at the end of the game.

    Scent of fear rocks, especially if you've got any sort of area effect weapon, like acid rockets or spores. Makes it childs play to pick off marines hiding around corners or objects.

    Or know which of the four tin cans advancing on your defenseless hive to focus your lerk spike fire on... or skulk leap.

    I used to use it when everyone was building sense chambers when ns first released. Marines used to use MT so i would use enhanced sight till i got used to the game and it became useless almost.

    I like umbra camping and gimp marine runs in with knife straight into snappy jaws... haha cocky mongrels
