<div class="IPBDescription">Now you too can be annoying!</div> This thread is about tatics the average team can use to annoy the hell out of the oppostition.
Tactic #1: Electrified Camping
A neat little trick I noticed awhile ago while playing as an alien. What you do is you find a nice closed in resource tower as a marine, take a position behind it, then have the comm electrify it. If your in the right spot you should be able to hold out for an extremely long time while the aliens get fried/blasted.
Pros: It gaurantees your prolonged survival, a few kills, and generally making your name well known
Cons: Your vulnerable to acid rockets and Onos and your not helping your team out too much
Tactic #2: JP Bombing
This is a way to spread a little fear in your enemies hearts. First grab a jetpack and a grenade launcher. Then make your way to the nearest hive or concentration of structures and baddies. make sure your launcher is fully loaded, then fly straight into the room and empty your launcher, then fly out.
Pros:You'll create plenty of confusion, damage some structures, and possibly splatter a few aliens
Cons: Requires a high amount of skill with the Jetpack, You are vulnerable to multiple OCs, Lerks, and Fades.
Thats all the tactic I have now. Feel free to add more for either team, be sure to include Pros and Cons for each tactic

doesnt marines having jps put fear over aliens anyways <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
This is a mid game tactic used to distract and divert marine attention - basically you go gorge drop a OC near a marine res and partially build it (say 50 %), then waddle off to another marine res and drop an OC there and nearly complete building that OC, then go hide somewhere.
With a bit of luck and some timing both OC's start firing on the res points at the same time, the marine comm gets the rt under attack msg at two rts at the same time...probably diverts some marines to sort out what seems a massed alien attack.

Any good comm would jump to the alert, hear the OC firing (You DO have headphones on, .. right? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->), and recycle/send one guy/react accordingly. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
What's annoying is to make the most GIANT cozy you have ever seen. 8 DCs, 8 OCs, and as many other chambers (And people!) as you can fit.
One of the siege maps where you need to weld the siege room open is easy as pie to win if you place 8 OCs in line, four on top of another, then a line of DCs, MCs and SCs. It's freaking impossible to kill, save for 10 marines with GLs firing at it. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> ..

ooh also, ANY exploits will annoy comm, like killing electrified res towers without taking damage as a skulk ( i wont tell u how <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->), building phase gates thru thin walls, devouring people out of vents due to defours crazy range, etc etc. Sure to get a few bans there <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
anyway till then, ciao
- The rines LOVE it when they just can't hit you as a Lerk with Adrenaline, flying around like a drunken wasp, dodging the impossible, dropping gas and constantly puncturing them with spikes.
- Parasiting: NOTHING is more irritating than hearing TAK! TAK! TAK! while getting ammo, turning around and seeing nothing. (while YOU have just become visible like a sunflower against a black wall for every single alien of the map).
- Devour one guy who just managed to get the comm's attention for the first time in the game and has been given a HA and a GL: you'll probably be able to hear screams in the far distance.
- Kill an alien using Welder: it's a humiliation greater than being knifed.
The knife is a weapon at least: the welder is a damn TOOL! being killed by a TOOL!!: what a smiting for one's pride!
- Kill rines using cloaking: let one walk past you, kill it, recloak.
One just can't accept being owned so bad.
- Become lerk early on (unless ur asked to RT) and immediately go spray the rines with acid. You'll be gratified when they all start whining for a medpack.
bind mouse1 "+attack; impulse 7"
Although, when i switched to marines, it got annoying, i may make a toggle for it. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I'm guessing thats attack then chuckle ?
If people ask what you are doing, say you are searching for sensory chambers.
Gets you kicked quite fast.
As onos, devour one HA or any marine. Then carry them around the map, s topping at a few scenic restpoints. Then coddle them on a ledge and jump in lava.
"OMG I GAVE YOU HA AND YOU KILLED YOURSELF?"
Then they catch on.
Repeat as necessary (last night I did so four times).

I hope you left out "Be sure to get redemtion" cause that sure is a waste of res. But that would be funny to do. Run straight to the lava and then redeem and come back quickly to watch the marine desperately try to get out. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
good times=) Thats a classic right there.
On any map where the marines relocate, build a single OC outside the original CC. Laugh.

Well, that's the original, and best, annoying tactic. The best thing being, it's a very personal attack, between you & the comm. And unless he tells someone, no-one will <b>ever realise quite why he's so annoyed...</b> <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

I like this man ^^.
Oh, and another tip: Change your name to NSPIayer (the I is required to maintain your ego), and go around pwning like some elite veteran dude. During this time, constantly ask questions about how to play the game. After each kill, make sure to say something along the lines of "omg i cant believe i got a kill/wow im good at this game/haha killed by a newbie!"
Change your name back/turn on your vet icon after the next game, have a real laugh.
Even though most of these posts are funny as hell, these tactics are to annoy the OTHER team. So lets stay on topic so we get locked.
-electrify a hive to death
-mine a hive to death
-spawn camp and knife the skulks as they come out <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'><!--endemo--> [knife] <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo-->
-if you find marines attacking an oc, cloak and sneak behind them. the oc probably has softened them up, and they'll have no idea what hit em

I have single handedly welded quite a few onoses in my time too , annoys the hell out of the comm as well as the other team when some marine chases them with a welder and yet refuses to die!!!!! Two birds with one stone <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
