<div class="IPBDescription">With a twist.</div> Now wait a second... I don't want to hear about your 'And tehn we liek seeged! olololl!' games. I want to hear about a particular moment in NS that made you laugh, cry, or lose all faith in the human race.
Here's a few of mine for an example:
- With only 43 bullets in my LMG, one full pistol clip, and my trusty knife, and behind enemy lines. I hear gunfire and this fade comes blinking up to me. I empty my LMG clip into him and kill him. I immediately draw my pistol and turn and blow a skulk behind me away. Then I draw my knife, pivot again, and knife a fleeing skulk to death. 3 little kills right in a row, LMG, Pistol, Knife. I was happy, that is, until a gorge found me and my absence of ammo.
- While playing ns_nothing, I was experimenting with bunnyhopping. I ran into generator, hopped my onos at some marines, and managed to plunge down the pit in the middle. In a similar situation I stood my marine on the edge of the pit. Skulks would leap at me, hit me, and fall down. I've since given up my hopping endeavours. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
- ns_lost, in a similar situation, I found the marines had built a PG right next to the node that's way out on the catwalk above the bottomless pit. So I bit the node a few times, and marines started to spawn through. Every single one managed to fall to their deaths... needless to say the PG got recycled.
- 'Spawncamping' an IP on hera as an onos. Except I had a couple buildings in my way. I got the angles right and managed to use the 'pushback' "bug through buildings" to launch marines out the door and off the clorf <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

On Hera 2.0 again the marines had relocated to the pad just out side there base. The aliens got 3 hives and we were xenociding them off the pad. I xeno'd and pushed like 7 marines off the pit into the bottomless pit.
On Origin, me and my good friend Illegal Alien noticed that we weren't going to win the game so we had created a bunker. Defense chambers on bottom and Offense chamber on top of the Defense chambers. They were built in a circular motion thus creating little peep holes for us to spit through. We left the top open to act as a hole we could jump out of to do something and to jump into when danger was near. We negotiated with the idiot marines to come and take us with lmgs, pistols, and knifes. You'd be surprised how many kills we got.
Reminds me:
ns_bast. I'm running for my life from a fade, towards the elevator that goes up to marine spawn. So on my mad dash I smack the button to close the blast doors. Then I notice the elevator is up. So I draw my pistol, turn, and get ready to go down fighting. The door is almost there... just a crack left... the fade attempts to reach me by crouch-blinking through the opening... and gets smashed by the door.
And that's how I tell people I took down a fade without firing a shot <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Haha Nice. I remember being fade with this one dude and he tryed to blink through one of the windows in the tunnel at Stability Monitoring in ns_caged I think. He got stuck and it looked like he was doing that one kick Trinity did in the Matrix, except he was turning around stuck in that position. I told him to /stuck out but I guess it didn't work, so I left him there. I don't know what happened to him but oh well I got my kicks, they probably knifed him to death. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
My favourite is having the MS on bast ripped apart by skulks, lerks, onos and fades I jumped off the IP ran for the rotating door. As it was turning i made a leap for the gap as got smaller i died and as i got smooshed again simultaneously i had two leaping skulks get squashed at the same time as they chased me. The 3 onos that were chasing me thought i had made it through and went through the rotating door to chase me. And we ended up getting two men to feed then they built a CC and died.
Good stuff. So many good laughs in NS.
- RD
so i saved for a couple of mins re-equipped everyone and gave them a waypoint below Cargo(dres) and asked them to move on to vent hive, this time 4 of them followed the WP the other 6 HA/Hvy Weapons dedided to stay in double to shoot the one lurk who was sporing and coulnt even hurt them. i asked them to move they didnt follow order.
cut to 10 mins later 20 sets of HA/Weapons later the same 6 guys were still stood in double trying to kill the same lurk. i had enough and was bored and said to the entire server "move to the waypoint or i sell everything" the 6 of them then cried out saying ur a bad comm and ejected me out.
luckily the new comm was one of the ones following orders, he jumped in chair saw what was going on and sold everything <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

1. Back in the good old days of 1.0, the map was on ns_caged. I was on aliens and was the gorge. I was chilling in generater about to put up the hive, when I notice the marines are attacking our hive in Vent. Eventually, the hive gets shot down, but never fear! I was able to drop generator.
As a side note to those of you who didn't play 1.x, you should know that aliens recieved resources in a much better way. All of the alien resources was placed into a pool located within each hive. Then, the resources were distributed amongst the aliens, but the gorges got 3x the amount everyone else got. If a player had maxed out res (not necessarily 100 res), his amount was shared amoung the rest of the team, with gorges getting 3x as much. If all but 1 player had maxed out res, that 1 player recieved 100% of the resources for that tick. If all players had maxed out res, the res would be stored in the pool, and when a player used up a small amount of res, they would recieve res from the normal tick and the pool. Lastly, if an alien is dead, it does not recieve any resources until it respawns in. Thus...
After about 1 minute, I had enough res to drop another hive. However, I waited a little bit because I didn't want to prolong the game (I was gonna allow the marines to come kill me in generator). However, they never came. Then, I decided to try to drop Vent. Little did I know that the marines relocated to vent. I decided I would try to drop the hive anyways... maybe they wouldn't notice. Lo and behold, the hive is able to go up, and eventually, my team is able to clear them out of vent and destroy their make-shift base located in some random hall.
Another side note, sensory chambers did not cloak anything. It only gave access to the cloaking upgrade. Also, observators didn't detect nearby structures. They just gave access to motion tracking, beacon, and scanning. I don't think it uncloaked aliens as aliens could not move with cloaking.
2. Back in the not so good days of 2.01 (not really back, but whatever), the map was ns_eclipse. I was on marines, and almost as usual, we were losing. Everything in our main base was destroyed except for the comm chair. We decided to relocate to Maintanence, one of the aliens occupied hives. We built the CC and a few IPs and began shooting the hive. Not long after, the aliens swarm us with 2 onos, and everyone except 1 marine is killed. He was boosted in the vent under the hive- where the onos can't get him. One of the onos decides to go skulk and try to kill him from behind. Unfortunately, the marine has no ammo, so when he sees the alien, he attempts to knife it. To his and everyone's amazement, he kills the former onos.

The first one was just great, it was veil, on marines, doing so-so, I get to sub-sector hive without backup somehow, I don't remember if I got the RT up, but comm dropped one and a TF. Okay so I'm building my heart away, all the sudden I hear the pit-pat of skulk claws coming, I stop and pray he moves along, he pops by the railings and I figured I'm done for, only chance is to kill him when he comes in. So he moves to the pillar, but I don't see it, then 2 skulks get to the railing, I figured it was the first one with his buddy, and that I was most likely screwed. All at once I see skulks start pouring into sub, 2-3 come over the railings, it's now that I realise they were more, first one was behind the pillar. No biting, no parasite, just 4-5 skulks slowly but steadily crawling from cover to cover right at me... I just lower my gun, grab the camera (screenshots) and just before I'm torn to peices, blaze my LMG for glory. It was just such a great build up, and a great end.
Second one was pretty pathetic, but humerous. It was origin, (bio, vent & furnace if it's not) on aliens, we were taking it pretty hard, they had double so Vent was blocked to Onos, I finnaly get 100 res and figure I can give us an advantage. I'm at the top of the elevator for double, I pop down, take fire, eat a HA+GL, try to escape towards vent... get very messed up by the ladder shaft, barely make it on the thing, and get HMGed down faster than anything... But the great thing, when I died, I was completly over the ladder shaft, so the freed heavy armor which took some digestion damage, falls ALL the way down and bites the big one on the floor below... made it all worth while.
The last one is another origin, I forget the situation, small game I think, but we were doing well, I was commanding. We were making a lot of progress, had a hive and were fighting for double and winning. But just as I watched my HA tear up the place, I got a warning my base was under attack. A fade had come in and was taking down my arms lab and proto, the mines wern't close enough (which I love to experiment with, hard without a workable mic tho), and we only had a few turrets, electricity wasn't even taking him, my HA were all fighting for double, no time to drop a phase... I'm thinking "Hell if one damn sneaky fade is going to take this game!" I toss down a JP+HMG at my chair, jump out and just kick off full throttle never letting off the trigger, flying full speed down the length of my base. Fade takes it directly and blinks off down towards comp core, I'm still flying, still shooting, and just as he gets to the corner, one tracer just happens to land right on him finishing him JUST at the very last second. If I could have flipped off his corpse in game, I would have. Soooo pissa flying out of the CC like a bat outa hell unloading everything mad as could be.
SIEGE005: I was the comm (after another comm got out off cc after he scr*wed it up...), we had been losing almost the whole game and one guy made it to the alien resource location...we got a cc...a tf...some turrets...our main base wxas down so we took all of the alien rts (like 15) and sieges 1 hive so byebye xeno...then we upgraded etc...we got ha and jp and rushed hive room...DIE KHARAA DIEEEE!!!!!!
We won...lol...

I got SG blasted as a Fade in Furnace Hive and fell into the Lava steams.
I was fade with adren, i went into MS and started blinking around , i was there like 5 minutes , going round and round , killing some rines. Until the comm drops a GL and a guy picks it, he fires, the explosion scared the **** out of me and made me fall into the pit of doom. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Rather an emotional moment, as two of the marines just made it onto the lift, and the third didnt. He franticly hopped about, trying to jump on, but just couldnt quite get there lol. We all crouched and shot the through the decreasing gap at the aliens; one of the others killed a skulk or somethin. Then the fairly disturbing bit. As the lift continued up, the onos reached our fellow below the lift, and gored him to death. A blood splash came up through the floor, which made me think of his rather gruesome fate. The other two marines actually THANKED me for saving their backsides.
Moments like that make me wanna play NS again and again and again... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Whew. Might not seem that cool, but it was really fun. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
ns_origin, we were rines and trying to seige double from above the mini elevator, not the tall one. i looked down and saw an onos run onto the elevator and start coming up. thinking quick i jumped out and landed ontop of the onos, crushing him with worldspawn.

Ahh the good ol' days. I like trapping the HA's in the elevator by generator then just chuckling at them. It's funny when your onos because they're just sitting there then you stomp to let them know your there and they get all scared and hide in corners. When they aren't entertaining I just call in the team to slaughter em. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
then 14 HA where coming our way(I know it's sick) our 4 onos goes into and scream over the voice com "DIE DIE DIE" then silence aprntly tey didn't get a single one....
when they were building TF outside hive my 2 friends and I thought we should die as knights. We then rushed the Heavy armor guys and we were yelling "For honor and glory" on the voice com. 8 seconds later they were all dead. Later we knew that the com haden't drop welders and the marines haden't discovered this becuse they were to full of adreline (14 HA with low health and no armor <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->).

Team had 5 Lerks and a gorge. There were 5 Marines, plus commander. We won by bringing the gorge to their base, then just lifting the marines and dropping them down the bottomless pit.
Also, someone mentioned playing in a game that last 2 hours on mineshaft. A long time ago in one of early versions of NS, I was in a game, from start to finish, that lasted 7 and a half hours. No matter what happened, the game just wouldn't end. If one side gained the advantage, then teams would become uneven and it would sway the other way. I was on marines the entire team, and we survived 3 last stands in which aliens had all three hives and we were restricted to our base. The same happened to the aliens countless times as well. The server was filled at its start, dwindled to around 6 in total, then filled up again. I stayed after the third hour just to see how long it would last. Finally, FINALLY, we got a Commander who knew exactly what the hell he was doing. Afterwards, we systematically destroyed all the alien outposts and torched their hives. A truly earned victory.
The thing is.. this had happened BEFORE i joined...~1-2 min into game and most ppl were dead and just kept rushing into the lmg trap of death..
When i spawned i went around through los paronias and in behind them...
They had a base up back there with 4 ip's, a cc and an armory right at the weldable...
I jumped past it and began to ninja bunnyhop bite all the marines in the ankles..
I swear upon everything that is holy that i got 8 kills from it, i single handedly killed every marine that was in that hallway in alpha... then i began munching the cc in the rear... and two other skulks came in the front (noticing there were no more marines) and helped me
Also I swear this.. comm hopped out, and my 8 kills in 2-3 seconds ended pitifully when he lmged me to death....<!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
And no one accused me of hacking (i wasnt)
But it was teh PWN!!!!
we ended up losing (who can compete with 4 ip's)
but...

In last night of 1.04, i was trapping skulkz under the lift in hera and i'd trapped their entire team except for 3 people during the course of the game (several people fell for it twice) then this lerk comes along and starts spiking me while i'm pretending to be stuck with only a knife and he moves closer under the lift and kills me and gets trapped.
Being a gorg in 1.04 and being chased by a rine who shoots me then pulls out his knife and i run around corner just as 3rd hive comes up and turn around and babbler him to death. It looked so funny cos they were crawling all over him while he's just spraying everywhere with a lmg.
While being dead at a lan game watching a n00b ha/hmg fighting a csplayer fade. The fades just running around him swiping with celerity while the hmg is turning with a low sensitivity firing always just behind him unable to catch up. Looked so funny, cos the fade was missing him aswell until he just stopped running and swiped him to death.
Spawning inside at onos and knifing him was a more recent one, dunno why he wasn't telefragged.
Well I res ****d, and got 100 and went onos and got redempt (there was a reason I did, because I usually don't). Well I ran into about the whole marine team, got 1 or 2, then redempted. However, you always manage to be holding down a key like move forward (which I was) and I had the great pleasure of being redempted to the ledge in Powersilo. Needless to say I redempted, and almost immediately fell into the acid to my death, with my team standing around laughing at me... I'll never get redempt on that map ever again.
Same map
I was marine, and the aliens were finishing us off (you know the 236246 onoses in your base, taking forever to kill our ips. Well I spawned right before the last ip was destroyed, was instantly hit by an onos, and flung up over another onos, and I preceded to leap into the bottomless pit, with the onos chasing me, and lerk gassing me, and gorge throwing up ocs and webbing. Made it with 10 hp to spare <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->.
Oh yea, and one time I was devoured while jumping into a bottomless pit.
