<div class="IPBDescription">3 players , 2 Marines HA+HMG Vs 1 Skulk</div> does anyone know how to beat 2 HA+HMG mariens with a 1 hive skulk i keep getting hammered on a lan.
Um.... Wait. Well, perhaps you could.. no thats not it. I got it!! You could.. um.. no.
Actually. Your best bet would be to lure them away from their base and then double back and eat their IPs. And eat the commander too if he jumps out (And he is not wearing a HA). Finish it off by eating the CC and well, just hope you can gnaw down those tough HA guys before they kill your hive.
But really, GOOD LUCK. I don´t see how you could ever pull that off without some divine amounts of sheer dumb luck.
Oh, and remember to go gorge from time to time and build as much OCs and RCs and DCs and just about everything else you can build all over the place. That would help alot.
And to end it all. If they are only 3 guys, how come you don´t build some hives. Why try to kill them as a 1-hive skulk. Rush them a few times. Go gorge. Get some RCs up. Skulk them again for a while. Get some DCs up. More skulking. And get a hive up. They cant be everywhere at once and they move slower than you can as a skulk.
Another thing. You said LAN game? I remember something about NS 1.0 having some major issues with Marines getting way to much res. Make sure that you have the latest patch installed v1.04(at the moment)
I know <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Lot's of funnyguys here
funnyguys are everywhere... back on topic if ur a skulk fighting 2 HMG/HA marines you will have a very difficult time killing them because most likely they will have welders and will continuly weld each other so the only way of winning is if they forgot their welder... or they aren't that great of rines <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

your only chance in hell would be to try to exhaust all their ammo with cara lerk hit n run high alt dives over their head, but would only work if either: they didnt cover each other on reload/had no comm to drop ammo.
thanks for the tips guys i'll get the patch. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

You're not supposed to be able to beat two HA\HMG with a one-hive skulk. You're not supposed to beat two HA\HMG with ANY level skulk. Only demigods can do that. What you CAN do, however, is parasite them (so that you and your teammates know exactly where they are at all times) and just keep trying over and over, preferably with as many skulks at once as possible. The problem is that they will likely weld each other (welding restores armour).
About the patch business, only the game's host needs the new patch. If you aren't the one hosting the game, you installing the patch will make no difference. This may change in the 1.1 patch, I'm not sure.
What do you mean "this MAY change in 1.1" ? hehe It's a client patch The whole point of that is that everyone upgrades And how come your talking about teammates, lerks and the like ? He said specificly a one-hive skulk

I don't know about a 1 hive skulk, but I have taken down multiple HAs in a row as an unupgraded Skulk using the leap exploit. All you have to do is become a super gerbil that acts like it is on crack; you'll move faster then they can move their cross hair.
Heck, if you are playing any version other then 1.04 you could just skin exploit and empty an LMG magazine into one of their backs. It won't finish them off, but a few pistol shots after the whole clip will drop them.

Just consider the act to be fairly impossible if the rine players have basic JP skills, man one jp+hmg is hard enough to kill with only defense and no 2nd hive or something... then again I've seen a guy take out three hives in a row this afternoon without breaking a sweat...

hmmm..... i would say... your only chance is to run around and around the marines until they get dizzy and fall over. then eat their faces. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> seriously though, theres not really any way you could hope to kill a ha/hmg marine unless you were truly great/he was terrible/afk/asleep/trying to smush you by jumping on you. i have to say that i personally despise hmgs, and resent being given them (hwguy in tfc anyone?) i much prefer a good old fashioned shotty. and if its 2v1, get a friend. or six. then rush them. heheheheheh.... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

A jumpy and possibly leapy skulk kan easily kill an HA + HMG if you leap and jump alot...
Evolve to gorge, put up 3 hives with 3 Defense chambers, 3 movements, and 3 sensory then go back to skulk, get carapce(defense upgrade), get celerity(movement upgrade), get cloaking(sensory upgrade) and then xenocide them to itsy bitsy little steaming giibits of the marines they once were.
Or stay gorge and babbler them to death which is kind of like using a skulk...sorta
srry to bust ur bubble but i wouldnt suggest start learning to babble like a l337 player spending hours workin on it when it will be removed in the next CLIENT SIDE (yes u heard me skorpion <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->) patch which happens to be named 1.1. and we need some new ideas. no more dc, mc, sc in that order... how bout dc last <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
