The best map for this is nothing. There are so many great vent placements in that map that you get a perfect view and complete protection from all sorts of pesky alien scum. (but fade.. god, hate fades)

So many funny things with marines that I've only started to discover =)

Well, I like to be a skulk sometimes, to sneak behind the marines. Once on a game, we we already destroyed the marine base, but there was still one walking somewhere on the map ( at the other end ). All my alien compagnions were at base, but I was not. I was walking in a hall when suddenly I hear footsteps. I climbed up the wall in a corner and cloaked. When he past, I uncloaked and followed him ( I had silence lvl 3 ). I did this for about 2 min.! Everybody were typing messages like '' LOL!''. The poor marine was asking himself what was going on. Then I got bored and I decided to finish this with a blast ( litteraly ). I chucled, the marine turned himself, and i activated suicide... You know the rest <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> .
Talking about torturing. I was playing as a Fade. I had cloak level 3 and all 3 hives were up. Then I enter in a room, with a marine resource thing and 3 marines guarding it. Well I just attacked ( didn't have much health). What surprised me, is that they didn't even noticed! Then I destroyed it and the marines turned around, but still didn't see me! '' What a'' were they typing. And then I understood. I was cloaked for the entire time! It's surely a bug, because i was invisible! then I killed a marine, the two others shooting everywhere. And I killed them two. I don't know wich map it was but I had a favorite spot where the marines came often. They were all Heavy amrors with big guns. And I killed them, one by one. Sometime they hit me, but I just health back. I was known as the invisible guy! I killed everybody I saw, but never really attacked there base. On this server I my nickname was '' Sergeant McMorrow''. I want to apologise to the marine players because this is not really fair, but I swear I didn't use any cheat! I felt a bit guilty and just threw 2-3 bilebomb on the base that's all. But I was almost always defending my base. Sorry, I didn't wanted it that way...
Final point: My torture tactic is sneaking... <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo-->

Some ppl are just plain stupid **obscenity** when it comes to cloaking. 2 guys are chasing him, he runs behind a corner and i see him PERFECTLY and he cloaks, he also has a guy from my team with his back to him on the left side of the Onos. Needless to say, I started opening fire w/ my LMG, my team was like wtf and started shooting at the wall and they realised something big was there and then I started knifing it..when the guy almost died..he moved, became uncloaked and fell to his deat..buhahaha...Motion detecting + not being a newb = cloakers not knowing what hit 'em
One time on the same map and same game I saw a red dot (i use custom blips) getting bigger and bigger then it disappears and i hear the cloaking sound..so i carefully turn the corner.. i see nothing.. i take a guess and start opening fire and this fade starts panicing..moves, shoots at me..then comes 2 HA guys to back me up and we take it down, buhahaha..perfect game for backup heheh
Cloak right outside the marine base with a skulk and 3 hives...the door opens, you chuckle, and xenocide!!! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Even if I move i'm cloaked! Making me thus invisible! I saw my fade in a transparent color ( just like when the cloak ) and I told myself '' What a ...''. Well, I couldn't play till the end, cause then I got some connection problems.

If you evolve cloaking, it activates if you stand still. There is no time limit. It's not the perfect cover, though... I once came out of a vent, high on a 2-story ceiling, and parasited a marine. He stopped and turned around, looking for the skulk - I didn't move, since it would probably uncloak me and *definitely* create footstep sounds (it's possible to move VERY slowly without uncloaking).
So he looks around for a bit, and all of a sudden starts firing - DIRECTLY AT ME!!!! He killed me pretty fast, and my "OMG HOW?!?!?!" was met with "There was only one vent - I guessed." GG, my friend.
But i KNOW what is cloak and that if you move you uncloak! I even tried to be running backwards in front of a marine with full armor and HMG, and he didn't even spot me! But I have to admit that i've got a good time having this bug or problem or whatever. Like I slashed on a HA marine+HMG. He turn around and fire randomly. Then he go backwards, behind a crate in a corner and try to spot the attacker. I followed him, I crouched next to him and waited. Men he was asking himself what a hell happened, and I slashed him.
There is a perma cloak bug, im sure the dev's are aware of it and are sorting it out. Its very rare, and unfair except for the fact that turrets can see you, extremely unfair.

Maybe that my cloak bugged or something.
