<div class="IPBDescription">The best round of NS I've ever played...</div> I got done tonight playing the best round of NS ever, and would like to congratulate all who were there, even if I can't remember their names. It was on Cold Storage server, 206.159.124.14:27016. Map was nancy, I was playing <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> .
After an initial opening game of skulk rushes and a lot of marines dying, we managed to get base stabilized and take the no-name hive. From there, it was a constant seesaw battle, back and forth.
For two whole frickin' hours. That's right, TWO HOURS!
Marines would advance a little, but the aliens would always come back. Both sides were shifting tactics, organizing well, and fighting hard. We went through 3 commanders (heh, officer burnout). Did the game last so long because the marines sucked? Nope. The aliens were the best fighters I'd ever seen because they
never,
ever
gave
up.
Period.
We would kill a 2nd hive - at this point, most alien teams would cut and run, game over. But not this alien team. They would storm back and just shift over to another hive, and we'd have to go kill that one. In the mean time, they'd be charging back and take back the hive they lost. The pressure was so intense, marines never had a chance to properly secure a hive before aliens swarmed. Even when marines were in hvy armor with hmg's they never gave up. Even at the final end, when we managed to kill the third hive and the alien death started counting down and aliens started dying for good, they had one gorge running around setting up more defenses, getting ready to try to build the damn hive once again!
A lot of you can criticize, saying that we sucked, and should have won faster, but that's not the case. Both teams were so evenly matched, it was scary. I have never in all my years of online gaming see teams fight so hard, esp. on a public server.
I would like to give my deepest respect to both teams - that was the highest level of play I've ever seen. Ugly_Joe <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> and all the others, you were the best opponents anyone could ask for.
Has anyone else experienced a game like this? Has anyone had opponents who never gave up despite the odds against them? Players like these guys are what make this game so incredible. NS is awesome - where else could you get two full hours of nail-biting, adrenaline-pumping intensity in ONE ROUND of an online game?
