<div class="IPBDescription">nuff sed.</div> Well the topic summed it up....
My longest game had to be 2+ hours. It was the map with the big revolving door near the marine spawn and engine room hive. I joined this game not even in the beginning. They had one hive still, with the first upgrade being sensory... <i>sensory</i>. I was just meh about it, so I played the game normally with cloak.
Eventually we pressed into engine room, and built a hive there. After that, the marines started exploiting bugs. They were attacking one of our hives from the vents and etc. using the hitbox bug like a mofo, and they had an invincible marine running around shielding all the other marines. We told them to stop, and what the bugs were and how to fix them, but they kept doing it anyways. So I said "Two can play at that game." and I binded my strafe modifier key, and began to use cloak the "cheap" way. =) We eventually got the second hive up, and got every resource node on the map. They rebuilt base in the engine room, and fortified it like crazy.
They had HMGS and grenade launchers, and eventually pressed back into the revolving door room area. But before they could fortify the place, I snuk in there cloaked with Lerk and umbrad right in the middle of the turrets. Boy that base went down fast when the 5 Fades popped out of the elevator shaft to help me. =)
They stayed in the engine room bombing the place with grenades. I used the cloak bug to sneak as close as I could and just paraited everything. When they finally caught on, I wasn't able to do it anymore. The gorge wasn't building D chambers, so I evolved to gorge and built a row of 8 Defense chambers outside the Engine room.
The battle raged on, for what seemed like forever. We had Sensory and Defense upgrades, but no movement. Finally we were pressing in, because they only had one resource node (technically 2 because of a bug), and after toying with them a bit we finally killed them. Game over.

But this is what i like MOST about the mod, the time it takes to play a single round.
I was on ns_nothing, we were aliens. It was 10 on 10, we had two hives, they held one. We kept putting constant pressure on them, but they kept pushing back. The battle raged on for a long time, we would lose a key location and win it back, then they'd come back and push us out again. The biggest battle probably waged in the Cargo Bay Foyer, we spent the entire game trying to secure it, so we devised a plan...
The top five on the scoreboard(I was one of them) would attack the main base, since marines typically value this more than anything. The other five would attack the Cargo Bay Foyer, and with lessened resistance, it would crumble.
Surely enough, our plan worked. We kept them busy at home, while our friends destroyed their phase gate at Cargo and basically demoralized them. 20 minutes later, we charged in their base as Onos, Lerks and Fades and completely obliterated them.
It was by far the closest match I ever came by, we had a lot of trouble in the beginning, and if it wasn't for some dilligent guerilla tactics by our skulks, we would have easily lost.
EDIT: This was the 1.03 patch. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
This was on NS_Tanith.. The marines holed up in one of our hives, so all we had were fades and lower. There was only one entrance at the end of a long hallway, and they had an endless supply of grenades and seige cannons preventing us from building Walls of Lame close to their base. Eventually they foolishly welded open a second entrance to their base and aliens won. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
The other version is that the marines approach quickly to one hive. secure it with some turrets and then move over to the next hive. As soon as its taken alien only have skulks and lerks and its relax time for marines. One more siege for the last hive, finish. No last stand needed. Can be made in 15-20 minutes.
Its long time ago when i last experienced a good long round with some u-turns and chances on both sides. And i play about 5-10 rounds per day.
BTW mwells that was a damn good game, the pressure on the marine base almost always causes them to go chaotic as they don't want to lose it, and at the same time they can't afford to lose that one hive they had...
They lost it all, it was great team work too.,.

I think it was on gridlock a while ago <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

Ha, yeah. I remember that it was your plan, sorry for not mentioning that. You were brilliant for coming up with it, I must say. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Yeah, that was probably the best game I ever played though, thanks for the fun and I hope to play with you again soon.
Was a 10 Vs 10 game, Bast. Aliens spawn in Refinery, Head directly to Engine room to secure it, MArines head almost right to double resource and eventually Feedwater Control Hive. They managed tos ecure it all during our Skulks rushes (I was gorge for main part, and was trying to get resource towers up Asap, while defending thier revolving door) Got sieged, then went Fade. Decided to try and liberate Feedwater control. Swimming through the underwater tunnel, starting to lose health when i popup the other side to be greeted by 4 sentries, i go back under, and find out that they dont shoot things in water, I grin then start letting of Acid rockets at them, Another fade sees my tactic and helps, then antoehr tries to rally us to retake Feedwater, he ends up trying to fight off gren launcher marines through the tram corridor, while me n the other fade start to butcher the base. Marines pop through the Phase gate and we duck back to the water, they obviously didnt see the water as we then continued to rain rockets on them, a jetpack marine saw us , jumped in and died fast, but not before landing many grenades about, killing us off. We managed to fight back for that hive, take it, secure it, only to have it overrun in about 20 minutes and resecured (so they thought) again the long swim to try and free up a hive. We managed to free it up then push forward while a Gorge secured it. 30 mins later we were pushing into the marine spawn, all sieges destroyed, most buildings hurting when the server crashes and we are robbed of victory.
Still the best game ive had.
I had just joined aliens and they had 2 hives, so i dont know how long they had been going at it before that.
The map was bast. Right as i got feedwater up i went onos. Right as i went Onos we lost our 3rd hive. ME and one other person on aliens even knew how to play. For some reason the marines kept trying to take the double res nodes by feedwater. I kept killing them as onos with cloak.
Eventualy i had killed about 45 heavy armor HMG marines as Onos. I never died, was onos for over 3 hours. Itwas awesome. They could never find my fat cloaked **obscenity**. Eventualy the aliens won. The marines were quite angry at me.
