Marine IP spam. new tacktic.

i want to warn, my alien buddies about a evil new tactic i saw the marines using near viaduct.

The set up a new CC to the left of the hive, then they started to drop marine spawn points at least 8 of them. we all rushed the buggers but mariens were poring out soon as we killed them they re-spawned, we couldnt keep up. they just poured into our hive and we didnt stand a chance...

Be aware

    If they had time to build a CC and 8 IPs next to your hive, they could've built anything and you were in trouble anyway.

    Yes, this is really more of showboating than a viable strategy. The marines must have dominating skills to pull it off (at least dominating with the help of early marine tech advantages), and they can get away with whatever they want at that point no matter what you do. If it made them feel happy, they could build a TF inside your hive and let the turrets spawn-camp you. That would be a good laugh, come to think of it...

    Note to self: Do that when the admins are not on the aliens side, or else risk getting banned.

    banned for building near a hive... if the aliens let you build that close to a hive and not get you then you've the right to kill the buggers.

    Y'know... people really underestimate the IP rush. But, not as much as they underestimate Russian IP roullete as a base defense. Fill the entire base with IPs and any alien that wanders in risks getting telefragged.

    those are some bitter server admins you play with.

    that's a valid tactic, if you can pull it off, kudos.

    It bloody surprised me. we jsut started, i went to cargo thru red vent to make sure htat there was no re-loaction, i scouted teh res near cargo then went strait back to viaduct . checked the hive then was going to go to powersilo when i noticed the CC with 1 IP, i shouted like a bas, even managed to parasite the ip b4 i died. when i spwand back in i was again the only one attacking and they started to get 1 or 2 more ips. by the time i had spwaned again the marines were pouring out of them and no amount of attacks from me or my team could get rid of em, every time we killed one ip there were t2 more replacing it....

    The best one was in 1.03, when phase just teleported anyting that touched them. Place a ring around your base. Then, put a few leading into nasty things like ceilings, pipes, walls, hive etc. Let the onos come and laugh. Did that once and server crashed.

    You'd be surprised. I've seen a skilled clan do this two games in a row on a pub server. The clanners were all marines, the rest of us were aliens. We just didn't see it coming and got reamed (and these guys aren't your garden variety marines, either - they're good.)

    Never experienced this, on either side. Sounds fun though. I can see where this could be done if you had two decent shot marines and a nice long hallway. (ie. generator)

    It's about as fun as spawn camping ever is. The game's not all that fun unless the other team at least puts up a good fight.

    also if you reeeeally wanna know, on ns_bast you dont need to buld the additional cc (if they have engine room hive) meaning you can just place them in the corridor outside their hive and bomb. Whilst this is going off the marines dominate the map and aliens cry.
