<div class="IPBDescription">marine Lift >_<</div> Well Im bored, id thought Id share,

I was playing Siege007 today. As i was logging into the server I noticed the server message said that it was using some new version of lerk lift. Different in that you could lift not only gorgies but marines as well. In fact if you had adrenaline you could lift HAs too.

Well Ive been playing NS since Day 1 and Ive only seen lerk lift used maybe 2 times in all that time. Since most people dont ever pay any attention to the server messages i figured no one would use lerk lift or even notice it was on. I was wrong.

For what ever reasons the aliens owned (sorry I mean"pwned us") The aliens were rushing all the way into our base.

The comm droped tons of goodies. He gave me HA, HMG, welder. I started to blast away at an Onos and killed him. Suddenly The rest of the team came in. 5 Lerks carrying 5 bile base bombing gorges. Then they released the gorges like some type of drop ship.

We were all like, OMG whats going on. I started shooting again when suddenly the world started to fly by. I thought I had been a victim of Xenocide blow back. But no. Suddenly I found myself flying off into the air.

I was like, wth, Comm I thought I had HA not JP!. Thats when I looked up and saw the flapping wings of a lerk.

He had grabbed onto me. He was lerk Lifting me!

Someone shouted "Haha look at davis go bye bye!"

The lerk flew me out of the base to the infamous "Jetpack Room" (the room thats like 30 stories high with a ledge 500 feet up going around the walls)

I got higher and higher and try as I might I couldnt shoot him!

I watched helplessly as I got higher and higher ad the ground got farther and farther away.

Then suddenly it got really close.

Needless to say it was a new expirience for me.

    Yeah, it must have been a cool game :]

    I think this plugin is great for fun maps, but unbalancing for "real" maps... But I'd have to play on a server with it to say more.

    That happened to me once, as a gorge. Some asshat on the team was picking gorges up, flying them to the top of Refinery (in ns_bast) and splatting them.

    When I was picked up the first time I thought he was just being helpful and was going to take me somewhere I was needed, but he dropped me from a great height instead. After he did it a few more times to other gorges he was kicked. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Is lerk lifting a glitch or against the rules or meant to be in the game? to be honest its only happened to me once.........against my will. So what exactly is it?

    ya its awesum!!! if u r aliens that is... i personally wasted around 15 ha/hmgs by lifting them and dropping them off the wierd rt platform in hera. they never could get me cuase i was always flying (that and they kept shooting the ha in my grasp <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> ). definetly get this if u r lerk 24/7. and ive seen the lerk dropship method 2. its also very "effective". all u have to do is 1. grab gorge 2. fly to rine base 3. drop gorge. ez victory in 3 easy steps. if u have super-lerk grab and drop the has 2.

    I dont drop the gorge, all you have to do is get the gorge to spam ocs, then when he/shes out of res, bile bomb

    Marine Lift is basically Devour for Lerks, only not with the digestion business.

    and even more frustrating, because if the lerk is high enough and you kill it, the marine dies too.

    That's why I would employ it against the Marines only when the Kharaa have 3 hives. Then the gorge could web up an area and you could slam your marine right into the web and <b>then</b> take him wherever you want. Provided you do it <i>fast</i>. Otherwise it is risky and you need to surprise a marine close to a cliff.

    Of course it is not just offensive. Droplifting a Gorge is always useful.

    I played with the superlerk lift last night, alot of fun for a fun night. I would not recomend it for regular use (though normal lerklift is another story). What would be really fun was adding in the seige pistols. The lerks that would have to face some major anti-aircraft fire to drop the gorges and grap the marines. World War 3, right in the marine start or a hive
