<div class="IPBDescription">One way to get them away from you</div> I was playing a game last night, and found this little trick to work charms. As marines, we needed to cap a hive the aliens already had, and they were beating us up bad. We decided to take eclipse hive *ns_eclipse* but we couldn't get the aliens away. So, my commander handed me a JP and told me to try and distract them. So, i figured one way to distract aliens for the time being was to fire apon there hive, and making them try and save it.So I jumped in the vent to CC, and shot ONE bullet at the hive. This one shot will sound off the alarm for aliens there hives under attack, and usually all of the aliens *cept maybe for the gorge* will come running to save it. Now, i let them walk around a while looking for me, and when they run away, i fire apon it again. Seems they kept coming back to the hive, and I gave my team enough time to Build a PG in eclipse, a tf, 2 turrets, a seige and a RT, and take down eclipse, all because of a few bullets fired apon there hive. So what im trying to say is, if worse comes to worse, send in a suicidal marine to shoot the hive, and usually all aliens will come to save it, giving your team enough time to do whatever. I know most of you know this, but i figured why not post it for those who dont. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Good job sacraficing for the team, remember, if all else fails...go suicidal.
Because when the first skulk see's you, he will tell to others that there are only one jp/lmg marine in the hive room, so dont worry.
Hmm, but no-one of the alien team didn't searched you from that vent near cc?
Usually when i do something like that, at least one skulk will look around the hive and he only leaves after he has founded me.
I once made my way onto a hive and shot it to death underneath me. Then fell to my doom and splattered - triggerhurt, you see.
And Duhflyinlerk - great tactics! But not all aliens rush to save their hive for some bizarre reason. I especially notice it when playing as a solitary skulk trying to save my hive: "Hold on baby - I'm coming!" only to find one other kharaa there with me.
Will have to try that next time. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I was very close to the hive, or it was HEAVILY under attack. That means that most of their team is there.
I use a similar destraction as aliens, but you'll have to find out the hard way.
but.. im guessing in this EG they would have 2 hives hence why you needed one... or even not... i find within the first 10 mins of a game 90% of my team is Parasited... so surely your hiding wont work very well.. :s <!--emo&::siege::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/siege.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='siege.gif'><!--endemo-->
