Parasite

Vash · January 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">IT IS SUCH OWNAGE</div> Man, I just finished the most comedy game ever. We killed everything but one spawn portal, and just let it sit. Our entire team was 5 skulks, just sitting there waiting. As they spawned everyone shot the hell out of them with parasite, it's so hilarious to hear like 20 parasites hitting all at the same time. You guys should try this....It'll work even better if you web up the portal, but we only had 1 hive so we couldnt..

Thats just cruel, but funny <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
I hope you didn't let it drag on for too long though.
When i know we've won as aliens i try to get everyone to gorge rush them, its always very humiliating to see you base destroyed by a herd of rampaging tubbys <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='pudgy.gif'><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='pudgy.gif'><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='pudgy.gif'>
We also did a gas spam the other day, everyone went Lerk and farted big green and orange clouds all over their base, lotsa fun <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

=D Parasite is so much fun. I love doing it to marines when i have a good hiding spot, It disracts them so much! It's a good tactic to send in a skulk to parasite.

We're there a whole bunch of <X/0>'s in that game? I think I was there, that was some good stuff... I jumpped on the server to grab my guys because it was time for practice, and I could only join marines. I had to type my messages before I spawned, then quickly send them for the second or so I was alive. It sure was funny hearing all those parasites hit me then death...

Parsite is brilliant, nearly all marine spawns have a nice place for parasiting being in it, or just out of it. Marines leave and they are easily know about, gives the team such an advantage. That and it makes them run around like crazy looking for you.

I've done sit at a spawn point thing before. As a fade, with regen, they spawn i kill them, they spawn i kill them, killed about 5 then got bored.

Quick somewhat related question - can parasites stop marine resource towers from working? I heard about that feature a while ago from another user, but so far, it doesn't seem to work. The resource tower jerks upright when I parasite it, but I still see the +1 resources text float up from the tower at the normal time. I have tried parasiting the tower at the start of the game, but the marines don't have trouble building any additional buildings beyond their normal 100 starter resources.

Any help?

Any attack on a marine res chamber resets the animation but doesn't stop it acctually workin, according to the boards.

Parasite is cool, BUT the most humilating thing to kill marines on spawn with is web and paralize a gorge and an onos the gorge keeps webs accross the spawn point so they spawn webbed and the onos paralizes them so they get tele fragged. Quite bad as the marine will end up just sitting there unable to move or fire untill he dies.

You know what would make the parasite even more awsome!! Is since a parasite actually feeds on the host organism, it should do damage slowly to the marine with the parasite, maybe 1 hp every sec. It woud be funny to see marines scramble for help because they are parasited. However a marine can be cured if a medpack is picked up.

May be a little alien can pop out of their chests too if they die of it...(aliens... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'> )

uhm in the idea's/suggestions faq is stated that there will be no weapons that keep on damaging (like your parasite) players.

It didn't drag on too long...We parasite killed about 6 marines before someone finally killed the portal -_- I was having so much fun too!

I usally let these kind of posts go by but...

Doing this is just as lame as cheating. You are prolonging a game and frustrating other people.

Even tho they can just f4, man don't and just become incredibly agitated at your "fun".

If this ever happens to me in a game, i think i would jot down every players info that was involved and report it.

You take out the other team so badly that they can't come back, its just obligatory to finish the game and play another one.

Don't be jack@sses.

They're marines. They deserve it, for being able to hide behind siege cannons and do nothing and still win, so easy, yet they can't even do that. They can bounce 2398372 nades around the corner and kill a hive without going near it, but they still can't win. They deserve torture, they suck.

OMG, okay... I better stop playing NS for a while just to keep my sanity.

I also noticed that when you parasite an unbuilt observatory, the "functional" animations are used. It usually takes the marines a while to figure out they aren't getting spawns because the observatory isn't active yet!
