<div class="IPBDescription">the coolest looking thing in the game.</div> I had a minor revelation the other day playing on Hera. Our third undefended hive was going up pretty late in the game. It had been very quiet for a few minutes, then the marine comm types "see you in hell." Five seconds later, fully loaded marines with jet packs and heavy machineguns speed into our hives. Two per hive. All at exactly the same time. Hive alerts blazed all around and frantic teammates clogged voicecomm with a cacophony of fultile warnings. It was an awe inspiring display of incredible force. Our hives flashed and went out one by one. As I watched the jetpackers zooming around the top of ventilation raining fire and death down from their machineguns, as skulks desperately scrambled up the walls, I realized that jp hmg has got to be the coolest looking and most awe inspiring thing in the game. Of course it gets old when you lose every game to it, but for a few moments, it was glorious. Its the type of feeling I get seeing Neo laying down the proverbial smack with a lamp post.

with it requiring skill and organization to pull off, jp/hmg is allowed to whoop **** in my book.

i liked that neo reference in there too <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Whoever that comm was, I want to shake their hand, brilliance, both to organise his marines to each hive, perfectly co-ordinate his attack, and start it off with words as cool as "see you in hell" <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> GG commader

So the alien team did neither of the following: Oc spamming entrances, webbing vents and hive, OCing hive, DCs under each hive, lerk-fade-skulk killing rines etc.

In that case the marines clearly deserve an easy and nice victory. I have to add one more thing: Nice organization, to attack 3 hives at the same time.

I am suddenly reminded of a game where we (rines) were getting pretty dominated by the aliens, yet they weren't putting up a second hive for some reason. So the comm outfits four of us with hmg and sends us to the hive. We walk the entire way and for some reason encounter no aliens at all (frolicking somewhere and eating marines judging by the frequent kill messages). Anyway, we reach the hive, and luckily we all have the sense to hold our fire. Then, on the count of three, we all open fire on the hive, and it goes down in something like 10 seconds with the aliens having no time to react. Talk about luck.

After that rush lvl 2 weps and jp, with armory upgraded then fly in with jp's and hmg's or 1 or 2 gl's i mean i h8 that i prefer doing it the combat way by using the kool heavy armor rush with say 4-5 men.  </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> 
Considering it takes at least 2 packs of mines to sufficiently prevent a clean attack on a nozzle, and that carapaced skulks can absorb one blast, you should be able to find a weakness. I used to mine nozzles till I realized this.

Comeon guys, this post was specifically and deliberately not supposed to have anything to do with balance. It was our fault. We lost fair and square. And (the important part) we lost in the coolest possible way.

SoBe_Dragon · May 2003

ummm ok, your gorge sucked cause he didnt web and o chamber the hives...gg

JoeBlow · May 2003

Yeah... since the marine have *no* way to get rid of webs we can easily assume that there never were any and flame him like little children... Hmm, maybe flayra should think of giving marines a cheap, portable way to dispatch of webs... that'd be the best!

Ahnteis · May 2003

awesome story. I'd have loved to be one of those marines (but if I were in the game, I probably would have been alien cus that's the way random team is).

Frosty · May 2003

lol that does sound damn cool.

cid1 · May 2003

If the marines have jps/hmgs, and u have 3 hives, and all of you guys are skulks.. something, somewhere has gone terribly wrong.

Gadzuko · May 2003

Way to make fun of the guy for saying HE THOUGHT IT LOOKED COOL, not whining about how HMG JP is overpowered. I think I'll just go weep for the future of humanity again.

Very good story, that reminds me of alot of comeback stories I've been a part of. Although that commander would have never heard the end of it if the plan back-fired. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
