What Are The Best Games You've Had?

Talnoy · April 2003

i was just wondering about all the "close calls" and stuff that has happened out there and the good games and stuff like that, now post <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'>

cilden · April 2003

Once, as marines, we were having a good game. We had port, and were moving to engine, since aliens kept trying to get it. Out of the blue a lone skulk kills the entire outpost near sub (res) all the people there, and then proceeds to destroy all the infantry portals, I could've sworn he was an invisible cheater. But, doesn't fit the "close call" senario until the admin comes in, then comm gets an infantry portal up, and then we crush them <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Jojoshua · April 2003

There was this one game...I was marine and we had taken out 2 hives and were about to get the last one when our base was taken out by a well coordinated skulk/gorge rush. So I was gone while this happened and I was the only one left. So I hide somewhere until I see on my motion its clear. This is probably 10 mins later. They have 3 hives up now. So I wait till its clear then I unload into the hive im near. I run out of ammo and use the knife to finish it. So then when they all come to their dead hive, im already at the next one. Knifing it. I kill it. Then I go to the next one and kill it to and win. Most were onos so they couldnt do anything and they didnt want to gestate back because they lost a hive.

HA HAHA HAHAHAHA OMG u knifed 3 hives!!!!! holy crap!

wow that means u r either the most insane player OR that alien team REALLY sucked

James_H4xwell · April 2003

I cant decide, i dont know if it was the game I brought my team back from a 3 hive situation to a 1 hive situation with my leet jetpack + hmg skills or the game where i killed 7 hives and had a whole alien team afraid of me. (It was funny they were going SNIPERS COMING TO ENGINE GET THERE [name in game is Ultimate-Snip3r!!!11one] )

Talnoy · April 2003

my best close call was on bast

we had refinery all tureted up and engine and we were rallying to attack the hive (feedwater) then a bunch of skulks (like 10) rushed into refinery and took it got the second hive and started attackin our main(i never relocate on bast) anyhoo, ichucked down a spare cc on the cockpit zone plus an armory arms lab and proto then told 5 guys to go there and hold

our base got demolished but in the end we teched to ha and jp and killed them all <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'>

Scuddy · April 2003

so my game was...

we were playing a nice match against sed.... (so dust versus sed)

they relocated to feedwater and had a out post at double res. our start hive was engine...
at skull i died a lot, maybe about 40 times...but after one hour we got refinery....under fire....
they came with jp and hmg, tried to rush us....i killed 2 rines with para headshot <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
and then the hive was ready...we got 2 minutes to envolve to fade then they killed our hive....but the time was enough to get feedwater....with 5 fades....!!!!
then they tried to get it back at all costs, cause of d res....
but at least we won....after 3 hours....
this was the best game i ever played... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'>

Speed_2_Dave · April 2003

1.0, almost all of those games, mostly as alien. Nothing more satisfying than a cloaked&silenced skulk/fade.

Good times, good times.

I guess carapace skulks are alright, but celerity and silence were to be feared back then.

Apotheosis · April 2003

Map: hera, a couple of weeks ago.

I joined aliens part way through the game, when marines had relocated and set up a siege up in processing, aliens were down to 1 hive but held several res points. I gathered that we’d lost our starting hive earlier, and the game had been going for some time. The marines only held 2 res nodes and their comm. really wanted to take holoroom, so while the rest of the alien team kept all the marines busy there, myself and another skulk crept into ventilation and the other hive covered by the processing siege (data core?) and evolved to gorge. 2 new hives went up simultaneously, but the aliens avoided using their new attacks until we all had enough res to evolve.

The first the marines knew about it was when onos and fades were knocking down their base <img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Sycophant · April 2003

I was in a game on Bast not long after the mod was released. It was a 6v6, and I was on marines.

We had one of their hives locked down, and we were trying to strike both active hives at once. I was waiting in the vent near the engine hive for the order to move in, and the commander drops a TF near me. I don't question, I just start building it. I know there's an alien in the next room, so I'll most likely die soon whether I build it or not.

Surprisingly enough, nothing came screaming through the vent to kill me. I figured the player was just AFK or something. Next came the TF upgrade, then the siege cannon. Still no resistance. Even when the siege started firing on the hive, still nothing.

I checked the scores (something I rarely even do as marine), and most of the players had a ping of 5. Yes, that's right - we were playing against bots!!! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

There was one human player on the alien side, and four humans on the marine side. The rest were bots.

This obviously isn't a "best game I've had", but it was certainly funny at the time. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Talnoy · April 2003

i had one the other day on (the hives were fusion waste and sat comms i cant remember the name of the dam map)

ok our gorge had JUST built like 5 oc's in the entrance to waste (the ramp one) when 3 heaves come up and shoot our gorge and try to kill his WoL

me and 2 other skulks lined up in the entrance (they cudnt see us) and then we all LEAPED out, and each of us took a heavy to tango with, we ran circles around them until they all had to reload, then we chomped em down!!! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'>

Zeroshin · April 2003

2 days ago, i got into the chair in the middle of the game, i found out that they had all hives with the 3rd one just finished, yet mess hall was empty, so i took that chance to take over mess hall, took over mother interface, sieged the crap outta subspace, took down subspace, they had 3 onos and i have zip upgrades (the team had a n00b comm before), we held on till i got lv.2 weapons and lv.1 armor, then got hmg, ha, only had enough res for 2. then moved towards port sieged port, then the hvys (by now every single one of them was a hvy and full upgrades (i took every other res node on the map before i started moving forward) then i let my hvys do some work for a change and let them take down the last hive themselves, in all, that was a great game, i thought that we didn't have a chance

Speed_2_Dave · April 2003

just played (and lost) quite a few good games tonight. I was playing on Drunken.. bozo?'s server (which can have up to 24 people!).

At first the size was relatively small (9v9 at the highest), and we got flattened by a marine who was so good it made you cry and scream h4x! (even I did, till I realized that the lmg wasn't shooting twice as fast, it was just the buggy first 10 shots of the lmg causing problems as he reloaded frequently). Lost a few won a few.

Then the miracle comeback game. Both the ueber-marine (legato) and myself were aliens, and we were getting killed by the 11 marines who were raping us everywhere. And you can really tell that the resource model is broken when you control more Resource nodes than the marines (they had one outside of their base, but still got HMG/JP, 5 of them, before we even got our second hive up!). So in the next game we start losing again, but no HMG/JP's going in for the kill. The marines are still scattered about WASTING the aliens. Then the marines blew it. They set up a Phase Gate in Data Core. Legato and I snuck into the main base and proceeded to destroy everything. We killed at least 8 marines during our frenzy. Eventually the marines finally gun us down, but not before we killed a few of their structures (Obs, PG@base). The marines start their destructive reign over us again, but they foolishly rebuild that phase gate into their base, which I used again, and won the game for the aliens. The only thing the marines shoud have done was dropped a lot of mines, but, their loss <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Fun games, even the ones where 11v11 proved how broken NS is at such a high count.

Also fun to see a "classic" pub. 3 marines, 2 aliens already in the game, the marine side has SIX people crammed into the entrance hoping to be the next in. Good times.

Young_Trotsky · April 2003

The best game I've ever had was last Saturday, we were marine and we completely funted our rush and the aliens soon had 3 hives and wiped out our base. I dropped a comm chair in stability monitoring (ns_caged BTW) and the last 3 marines built it in time for me to drop the res node and an IP before my comm chair was destroyed. We still had the hidden res point near freight and we already had full upgrades, we soon had a proto and an advanced armoury and quickly took down generator hive which wasnt defended very well at all. After aboiut 30 minutes of fighting off fades with JP HMG we finally fought through to sewer and took it out. Thats right, we'd gonna from being 30 seconds away from losing to putting the aliens back down to 1 hive. Anyway, at this point 3 alien players left the server and the teams were 9v6. After about 5 minutes of whining the aliens finally decided to hit F4. It was a bit of a lame end to a really amazing game.

CplDavis · April 2003

As the Kahraa were invading the base with skulks and fades all my marine team mates decided to F4, Leaving me and the comm. We still had lots of resources so I dont know why they left. He dropped me a mine pack real quick then a HMG, and HA. In came the aliens. As I blased away, he health spammed me, when i ran out of ammo , dropped a nade Launcher, I shot off the four nades and he dropped a shotgun, After health spamming me some more, and I was out of the 10 shot gun shells I emptied my pistol, and he used the last resources to drop me a welder. I welded one skulk then I died. In total I killed 7 out of the 11 aliens.

After that there was a lot of WTH?!! I laughed really hard, and the marines that F4ed were mad they left.

Firewater · April 2003

Closest game i had was on ns_bast in a pub server (cannot remember which) is when i just came in and my team was getting spawned killed, and I took out all 3 spawn campers by myself. Then I went gorge and built a lot of offensive chambers to help nutralize further rushes, and I capped about 3 RTs while i directed the skulks to attack their main base (they actually listened!). I took engine hive seeing as they already took feedwater, i built the movement chambers and I went fade to finish them off.

The most rewarding part was when the people who gave up when the spawn killing started, suddenly got some confidence back after I cleared the way for them to spawn in, I guess out of respect for that, they decided to listen to me. It also put a smile on my face to see some of the aliens cry "OMG SPAWN CAMPING IS LAME" cry cry cry wahhaahaha, while they were crying, i was figuring out a way to win. Never give up, never go down without a fight.

Locke · April 2003

My best game ever: Cant remember mapname but it was the 1 with noname,port and engin hive

They managed get 2 hives up because we had an incompitant n00b commander, after the fades started spamming acid and he was doing F all(buying mines!) we ejected his ****, the next second this guy gets in the comm chair, gives ppl orders waypoints etc, we push back the fades, he equips me and my mate with HA+HMG+Welder, we headed to the only hive we knew they didnt have, no-name.
stood there for about 5 minutes welding each other and killing skulks while the rest of the team went to kick the **** out of engin/port.
our commander finaly got the res, and we built a siege outside noname, just as the hive inflated giving them 3 hives, the siege's deliver'd the final 2 blows in quick sucsession, we cleard up the skulks and fades still at no-name, as the rest of the team delever'd the final shots on there other hive. so in the space of 1 minute they had gone from 3 hives to 1.
built up the hives with TF and turrets, phased back to base where the command issued EVERYONE with HMG+HA and we just went in and oblitirated there last hive like cutting butter with a hot knife <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

That was the best game i have ever been in, lasted around 1 hr, but it was still fun!
p.s. sorry 'bout the spelling, im dislexic

REVSplatter · April 2003

Heh, well the most fun personal game I had was when I was personally tearing up the alien team. I had over 4 times the kills of the guy in 2nd place.

The biggest comeback was definately as aliens. It was around 15 minutes into the beginning of the game. We had 3+ d's up but only 1 hive. Out of nowhere, the entire marine team rushes refinery with LMG's and takes out our hive very quickly. (the skulks were in the process of getting engine).

Unfortunately, by the time the hive went down, all the skulks tried to rush back to refinery and were totally mowed down. All that we had were 2 gorges left and no hives going up. But that's not the end.

One of the gorges was basically being a complete idiot, and since the start of the game built a bunch of O's and D's in that vent area by refinery. He was camping in there holding off the marines from coming in the entire time after the hive went down. The marines were sure that he was the last player left, and so throughout the whole time not a single one of them scouted out engine to see if a gorge was there. Eventually, the entire marine team had to put up sieges to kill the gorge by refinery since they just couldn't get in the vent.

Fortunately, none of the marines must of known what that end-game ping was, so the gorge in engine was able to sit there without a single marine coming into engine, and he managed to put and get the hive up, staying alive the whole time.

Long story short, we went from 2 gorges and 0 hives to all 3 hives and an Onos win. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

The_Mad_Knifer · April 2003

This was a while ago, 1.3 on ns_bast. I was aliens, we had 2 hives (Engine+Refinery) and they had feedwater and all of the res nodes there. So, as you can imagine, they had HA HMG with Motion Tracking. But, for some strange reason, they weren't smart enough to attack in a team. In the end their comm had quit and joined aliens, saying that they sucked and wouldn't follow his orders. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> The game had lasted around 5 hours, then I had to leave. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'> I don't know the outcome, but I think we won, even if they had HA HMG with lvl.3 weaps and armor. It was always 1 HMG HA attacking at a time, sometimes 2, but we still took them out easily with acid rockets. Man that was a fun game. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Talnoy · April 2003

omg i just had a really close call today

We were aliens and we were just about to get ventilation up when (i was gorge) the 'rines INVADED with hmg's! (teched up real quik) killed our hive THEN my team started calling me a noob gorge so i plodded my into vent (i had 3 dc's there and L3 regen) and shuved up the hive, the marines thought they had won and didnt bother to look for me (LOL BIG BIG mistake) after the hive was done the WHOLE team shut up and i laughed at them for like 5 mins. then we took out generator and mowed down the sewer and charged in for a onos finish

all cuz of ME <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Zendu · April 2003

Now that i think of it, ive had 2 just this week.

One where I came in to 1 hive vrs HA/HMG game and we won that through persaverince ( and the fact that i could run by turrets, which dumbfounded thier comm)

best one whould have to be as marine on ( the one with reactor room and fusion?) we had been doing pretty well so far and had a big resource pile stocked up. And we had started a base at sat com... when fades start attacking, we try holding those off best we can with lvl 1 lmgs ( comm liked armor.......) we finnaly succumbed to the wave of cource. Then the comm, right as the CC is dieng droped a cc in FUSION... where we had nothing exept like 2 guys... 5 feet from a active hive..... somehow they got the ips up and nothing but spray and pray for like 20 spawns.... we somehow killed the hive from the 2 hmgs on the ground ( which had been passed around like crazy) and to make a already long story a hair shorter... moved back into sat comm ( becuase it was unoccupied even though they had killed everything AND had all the rts on the map but 2 ??!?!!?!?!one) and managed to get back up to hmgs against a 5 gorg rushing team.... well it wasnt pretty but we won, definitly a shocker to me.

Sinter · April 2003

It was about 8 vs 8 on ns_hera, and I was playing Marines. We had failed to relocate, failed to secure a hive, in fact, we had failed in just about everything. Most of our team was in base when a skulk rush wiped them all out. I rush back to base, just in time to see the comm jump out of the chair and go down in a frenzy of teeth. I start unloading on the skulks, who thought they had gotten everyone. In one clip, I manage to drop all 3 skulks who had just chomped our last IP.

Then I heard over the voice chat something about a CC in Holo. so I start heading out of base towards there when the whole team starts yelling at me. There was one last marine left alive besides me, and he was hiding in Holo and wanted me to drop him a CC. I turn back in to our spawn, and look up at the CC room. I see a skulk sitting behind the window, staring hungerly at me. Just then, I see my teammate get killed, and I know its all up to me. I rush up the elevator, knowing my death awaits me. I dont know what the skulk was thinking, but somehow I managed to kill him and jumped into the almost dead CC.

I drop an IP (down in the main room, stupidly), and drop down the elevator to build it. After killing another skulk while building the IP, I finally manage to get it up, only to see a skulk rush up and finish off the CC.

Well, we were stuck in our spawn, with just an IP and an almost-dead armory, but at least we were alive.

We managed to hold them off for at least 10 minutes, and even though we lost, the kill count was still greatly in our favor:

Mairines - 57
Aliens - 31
