By the way, speaking of knifing ONOS'es, I just knifed Grendel today when he was a lvl 5. w00t. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->
The game started out small, a 2v2 with more people supposedly on the way. I quickly wne buoilder and secured 2 nozzles. During this time, a few more players had joined: I kindly asked my teammates to pster the marines and try and keep them in base. They did their job very well and after checking with my team, we decided a hive was needed before upgrades. I sat at a hive, with Storm watching over my shoulder keeping me alive. "Resouce tower is under attack" Crap, a squad of marines had moved out and were heading towards this hive! I felt unsafe with just a skulk as defence and hoofed it out of there and meandered over to the other side of the map, Storm watching my back the whole way.
We reached the other hive, and found it thankfully empty. I had saved up lots of RP on the trek over, and started the hive immediately. I slowly threw up a few turrets and defensive chambers and one RP tower. During this time, the aliens had begun to attack the 3rd hive room, which was now secured by marines. I threw down a movement chamber when the 2nd hive came online and zipped over to our other hive. dropping one more movement chamber allowed us to hop between our 2 hives quickly for defence now.
Next I hupped it over to outside our 3rd hive room and healed the level 4's in a stalemate attack against the marines. I dropped down a defensive chamber near the battle zone, and *BPAM* a siege turret ripped it apart before I could build it. Very hurt, I backed off to s asafe distance and layed down 3 hambers to heal the aliens attacking. The marines uickly caught on, and came around the back route, killing me, but my pals came and saved the chambers.
When I respawned, I went to a level 3 and zoomed back to the battle zone. The aliens were getting pummled into the ground, with a few quick shotgun blasts, I was wasted. Grumbling after I respawned, I hurried back and had just enough resources for a lerk again when I arrived. Being more careful with my lerk this time, I swooped into the base, and dropped an umbra cloud as I landed in front of a turret. I shewed threw it, and zoomed back out just as my cloud of saftey melted away. I zipeed around the corner, thinking I was safe. Suddenly, redemption kicked in as I was very hurtm but I died immeditately as I arrived back at the hive! Damn lag, he had shot me just before I redeemed and the server said I had died!
Cursing a little, I went back into the battle, when our 2nd hive came under attack. I rushed back to our 1st hive, and used the movement chamber. Much to the marine suprise, I appeard behind him, and bite his ### right off. I did a quick scout around, and found no more marines. Satisfied, I hopped back to the first hive, and evovled back to a lerk. By now, the aliens were starting to wear the marines down. I speed under the door into our 3rd hive and dropped in front of another turret, deploying another umbra cloud. As I chewed threw it, I heard something else, claws slashing. I peek around the turret, and saw a level 4 had blinked in and was helping! We zipped around, me deploying umbra clouds and us ripping apart their now weak defense. By now the game had swelled to about 6v6 and the rest of our team caught on to what was going on. A squadrent of level 4's charge in, and started tearing apart their base. a few marines spawned, futile, as they died before they even got off the infantry portal...
The commander hopped out, suicidal with his LMG. He hopped around, with 4 sets of claws and a pair of jaws flying around him. Dunnn-dunnn..the end of game music played and it was all over.
marines were locked down in the reception in NS_hera, and I was helping secure the Warehouse with a builder (I was a flier). We had 2 hives and I heard a large squad of marines coming. I dropped down into the pit where the door to the room was and selected the umbra attack. I sat there silently, hearing them approach slowly. I tensed up more and more as they came nice and close, and they stopped. I sat there, in agony wondering what was going on? Did they see me drop down here a few moments ago with motion tracking? Did they have Heavy Armour and were waiting for them to catch up? *Beep* the door opened, and I surrounded myself in a cloud, CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP, 1 CHOMP CHOMP, 2 CHOMP CHOMP, 3 CHOMP CHOMP 4 marines dead. by now my cloud was gone but the backup had arrived in the form of 2 more lerks. We chased them down the hall spiking and biting away. But, seeing this squad come through that door, and meet their demise so quick was quite fun <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->
Not much of a story, but I still enjoyed it. I was an alien on NS_Hera (could have been the same game as Comprox's story above, not sure). I went builder and moved down the glass-encased Entrance Hallway near the marine base, with the intention of spamming babblers to attack their buildings. Not much of an attack to be honest, more of an annoyance. Anyway, a few babblers enter the base and some nearby marines are tipped off to my presence. MonsE comes out to take me out, and we fought for a little bit. He eventually frags me with his pistol, and then stops to type out one of his trademark taunts over say_text...
...and as he does so, he is absolutely flattened from behind by a rather ticked-off level 5. Would you like a side order of irony with your death, MonsE? <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

From a protected (read, elevated) position, I managed to finish off three Onos that were attacking the marine spawn on NS_Bast. They'd been wounded by my team and turrets, but had killed all other players, turrets, and the Infantry portal when I logged out of the console. I got into a little nook where they couldn't reach me and emptied 50 shotgun shells into them. I killed the last one with no shells left, and 4 rounds left in my pistol. Then someone came and killed me while I was trying to build a new infantry portal. ):
This PT happened about a week ago, but I thought I'd just recite part of it because I found it so funny.
NS_Eclipse. I was on alien team, and we had 2 hives, but were being agressively attacked by marines with HA and HMGs. One of our Gorges went around capping nodes and trying to gain rsp sufficient enough to get our 3rd hive building, because we were pretty poor on rsp at that point. I had gone fade, and Citixen was playing the role of an offensive gorge. We were basically trying to keep the marines cooped up in their base while we struggled to get the third hive up. They also had the third hive fortified with turrets.
So me and citixen trudged up to one of the two marine base entrances on NS_Nancy. I opened the door, fired in several acid rockets, and then retreated when the door closed. Citixen healed me up after taking light wounds to some random LMG fire, and I proceded to open the door again. *splosh splosh splosh* I fired more acid rockets into a small group of marines who were about to open the doors and attack me and cit. Completely desecrated. The marines continued a common unorganised attack, and ran out of the doors one at a time into me and citixen. Eventually, citixen built up 3 def chambers a short distance from the entrance. I proceded to kill the marines as citixen built more. The marines had heard the building noises, and put of a seige. The booming fire of the seige echoed as it completely desecrated the chambers, me, and Citixen. We backed off to the end of the hallway that lead to the marine base, and citixen eventually got up 8 defensive chmabers, and 5 offensive chambers out of seige distance. The marines continued to pour out of the base, we continued to hold off their attacks. About 20 minutes, and 50 kills later, the third hive was starting up. Marines started pouring out of the base 7 at a time, and they were hurting us VERY badly. We retreated around the corner as we healed, and prepared for the HA'd marines that were slowly trudging towards us. Grenades tinked off the sides of the walls in attempts to destroy our "forest" of chambers. Just as we were backing off farther, another lvl 4 came and helped us hold off the marines. Just then, our third hive had completed. I sat infront of our offensive chambers and proceded to gestate into a lvl 5. After half a minute, my cocoon split and ripped open as I let an intimidating roar rip from my throat. I tried to move...
And again, I tried to move..
And again...
"Well sheet. I'm stuck"
It turned out that the low walls that hung over the narrow passages in nancy weren't big enough to allow an Onos to walk. And at that exact moment, the marines started making a comeback. The poured out of their base, and made quick work of the other lvl 4 who was far away from the def chambers. So there I sat, completely defenseless, since the Onos has no ranged attacks. They fired hmgs and lmgs at me. Grenades tinked off the walls and exploded just inches from me. But thanks to the massive forrest of def chambers behind me, by the time the marines had finished reloading to fire again, I was back at full health. After a minute of this, they realised they were doing no good, and they rushed me. With knives, pistols, and LMGS. hehe. They were sitting on my head, standing behind me, underneath me. Unknown to them, just because I was immobile, didn't mean I couldn't attack <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> I lashed out at them with my claws and teeth, prying the marines off me. And the whole time, citixen stood beind, healing me and the def chambers. After taking a beating down to around 20 health, the marines had realised what was going on. So they COMPLETELY ignored me, and walked right by me. I was like a statue to them. I was laughing so hard. They headed into the forest of chambers, where citixen was. I didn't see anything over the tops of the alien buildings, but I heard lots of gunfire and slashing of knives, and a hissing of healing spray and spit as the marines tried to take out citixen. I was able to take out 2 or so marines that got to close to me during the battle, and the offensive turrets and citixen's offensive gorg abilities took out the other ones. While they marines were respawning, I tried to gestate back into a fade, hoping it would un-stuck me (for lack of better word). When I was half way done gestating, the marine squad turned the corner. This time I was -totally- defenseless, and in the end, I got schooled by MonsE (curses). By the time I had respawned, a group of lvl 5s had already devestated the marine base, and aliens reigned the victor. In the end, it was a very tough game, and I had a LOT of close calls.
And what's the moral of this story? If you must pick but one teammate to accompany you for the whole game, make it an offensive gorge <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

Storm, another level4 (Citixen?), and I (as a Gorge) had a brilliant run attacking the marine-fortified Maintenance hive on NS_Eclipse. We approached from the high entrance, about 30 feet above the floor of the hive room, and inched forward - healing and rocketing our way past the defenses and marine defenders. Finally we were in the antechamber to the hive room, where I set up 3 Defensive Chambers and 3 Offensive Chambers. I was healing the buildings and Fades as quickly as I regained the energy to do so, and they must have racked up quite an amazing number of kills! Sadly, the marines eventually got smart and started lobbing grenades into the room; we couldn't stand up to it, and had to fall back and regroup. But we held them off for a *long* time... PHRR the offensive Gorge!!!!
