For All You Newbie Aliens.....

ElvenThief

<div class="IPBDescription">and your accusations of WallHacks</div> The marines have an upgrade called Motion Tracking.

Sadly, a lot of marine commanders I've had didn't know this existed. And happily, I've been alien against them too.
However, I'm sick of every Tom **obscenity** and Harry dropping mad accusations.

"OMFG. How did you know I was there?"
"I didn't even make any noise and you can't see in these shadows"

I laugh pretty hard every time I hear this.
For those of you who have know idea what Motion Tracking is, it's just like your hivesite, except the marines can see every alien when they move. The aliens lose their most important ability- the element of suprise.

Just my 2 cents cause I hear this too often.

JooJooFlop

How do you get it to work?

PseudoKnight

It's an upgrade at the Observatory.

The only way to surprise marines after it's upgraded is to sit in one spot for a long while.

I love this as a marine. No mure skulk and slash.

Killbert

Also it's not that hard to say alien is near by listening. Also level 1 cloak is not that good, if marines almost know where you are. I was once called a cheater, when I shot lvl 1 cloaked lerk.

Gelantious

Yup, I have been acused of cheating because I killed som Lvl 1 cloaked Aliens, They dont understand that they are not entirelly invisible.

Then later that game when we got motion trackers, I saw a alien in a went that was moving. When he heard me coming into the went he stand still n cloaked and this time he had lvl 3. But since I knew that he was there I started shooting. And oohhh boy did he get **obscenity** when I killed him.

"How the f*** did you know that I was there!?! F****** cheater! I had lvl 3 cloak this time as*****!"

rtfm ffs.
I know that the manual is outdated but the motion tracker and cloak is explained there.

coil

How is the manual outdated?!

Gelantious

for example

it says that Blink will teleport you to other side of walls etc

It's very easy to just hear people coming. Also...I KNOW for a fact, that there are wallhacks that exist and work on NS. (yeah, I tried it just to see, im going to ignore and PMs asking me where to get them)

RazorClaw

Motion tracking NEVER works for me!! Exactly what is it suppoused to do? The only thing it has ever done when I play is show circles where enemy structures are that are visible to some player and enemy hives.

I have never EVER seen it show aliens moving around the map NEVER, what's wrong? And yes they have researched it.

Thansal

not sure what is wrong with motion tracking, however I KNOW that it is a client side issue (probably hardware)

I know this b/c it NEVER works on ANY of the lab machines the CS department has (yes we have it installed on all of em ;D)



however there is something wied b/c it seem to work before but now it dosn't


best one also has to be watching a fade run down a hall (as I shoot him) and then 'dissapear', I sat there and laughed for 1/2 a sec then blew him away lol


also walking into cloaked aliens and they DONT kill you lol ;D (I walked into a fade once, acted as if I hadn't knowticed, walked around, waited till my squad had passed then turned around and unloaded my pistol into it, I died (shoulda use a diff wep ;D) but my squad mates promptly turned it into goo ;D

MeDiuMRaRe

alien motion sensing is the first upgrade we do, it definately leads to some "alien-like" moments when there are little blue circles all around, getting larger......yeah sucks as a alien tho

Infinitum

All motion tracking does is give you a quick eta of how far away that Onos is from coming to chow down on your base >=D

Shockeh

Heh, I agree on that.

MT currently doesn't work on mine, I can say that for sure. I get to see some structures, and that's about it.

/me facepalms.

Motion Tracking is the greatest invention since edible underwear. I always take time to look around when reloading, but lately it doesn't seem to be working.. I wonder why.

ViPr

is the motion tracking supposed to work in a certain radius of observatories or for the whole map?

Blink does, you can blink through certain doors/etc, like the blast doors in hera's reception.

Inexorable

Motion tracking covers the whole map, it's the de-cloaking that only works close to the observatory.

Wow! I learn something new every day... I've got to try that...

Well, i find it funny when u hear the skulk runnin along the ceiling and thinks you dont know hes there.

I killed a guy hanging in the ceiling and immedietly he accused me of cheating and demanded i tell him how i knew he was there if i wasnt cheating.

A word of advice to you newbie skulks : you make noise , don't run around and expect to go undetected. People like me will hear you and kill you ;p
