my favorite moment was on ns_eclipse, i joined marines, another guy joined aliens, now the RR was full of guys wanting to be rine, but the server had this auto join script, so put everyone on a team after like 1 minuit, i ran of to the keyhole near maint, then all the aliens spawned, and ran out at me, i nailed 4 of them with my lmg, 1 with pistol and knifed the last one.
Focusing on the wrong areas here, this is a team game yanno. My favorite game was on the map with, yes I still haven't learned all the names yet, Ventilation and Power Silo. We aliens spawned in Power Silo, so we were destined to lose from the start. The commander was nice enough to kill us the old fashioned way, bullets. Instead of making a tf and siege in the hallway to our base, we asked him not to very politely. The sent in jetpackers and ha. But before that, being how both hives were locked down and we couldn't get out without being shot to hell, I told my team "Everyone go Lerk and pick a high spot." They actually listened, two of them stayed skulk though.
Anyway, one jetpacker came in, flew immediately up to the top thinking he'd be bombarded by skulks, but being how four of us were up top he was needled to death in less than 15 seconds. Then another lone jp/hmg came in, he was needled to death in 20 seconds, resililiant little bugger. To my suprise a third one came, only he went straight for the hive. Regardless for his boldness he was needled to death even quicker because he couldn't get behind the hive.
After their failed attempt at lone jp/hmg rushes, I don't know why they didn't all go at once. They sent in a team of three heavies, only one had a welder. We all aimed at him, he croaked really quick too. After he was down the skulks got ballsy enough to rush the other two, they died almost immediately. While, we needled a second HA/hmg to death. This my friends is the closest thing to teamwork I've experienced outside of COFR. The third retreated in fear he wouldn't get HA again.
You don't need to know anymore, that was the fun part of it all ^.^ Three Jp/hmgs dead, two HA/hmgs dead, by way of needles, Hall-Mark moment.
My personal favorite was when I was commanding on ns_tanith, and I had relocated my marines into cargo. 4 skulks run into base, munch down the RT before it can be recycled and for some reason they decide to hang around and finish off the comm chair. I decided to hop out of the chair just moments before it went down, and took out 2 of the skulks with my lmg, 1 with my pistol and 1 more with, you guessed it, my knife.
Playing ns_europa, and my team (alien) were getting hammered. It looked like we were doomed. HAs were coming with HMG, pushing us back to our last hive. I managed to get to the marine start and found it deserted, and there was a blind spot behind the comm chair. So I started chomping. Because the marines were all heavies, and the comm was busy supporting them, nobody noticed the CC going down until it was too late. No commander = no more armour, weapons or health. That was the turning point in the game and after a further struggle we slaughtered them. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Another cool moment was on Tanith. I was a fade heading to marine base. I could hear the sound of mines being placed. Many, many mines. So I fired one acid rocket and killed about 5-6 marines at once in the resulting mine explosion chain-reaction. Lovely.
I always seem to remember those moments that seem to come out perfectly... like once I was a marine fighting a skulk at horseshoe, I depleted my LMG and pistol on him, and he had bit me twice(had armor 1). We were both nearly dead, and the skulk backed off towards the top of one of the ramps. I had my knife out, preparing for my final desperate strike and he jumped at me from the top of the ramp. With a single slash of my knife, the the beast fell from face level to my feet, and then proceeded to congratulate me on a good kill <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> .
Teamplay wise, the most impressive moment was when the cruel aliens had all decided to go lerk at three hives on Bast, and subject us all to a horrible death by spores. We still had atmospheric, so there was still a considerable income for the marines. We had about half the team equipped and had level 3 upgrades when we killed about half the alien team at one instance. Never despairing, the greater majority of the team moved out towards feedwater. The gorge was negligent in his care of the hive, so we were able to take down the few defenses, and then the hive quickly. The aliens, having not a single onos when they had three hives, became demoralized and F4ed when they still had two hives <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> .
Best split-second move i had involed me leaping at a marine while he was shooting me... My leap killed him, but his lmg killed me...Was hilarious at the time <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
The most fun/exciting thing I've never done was on ns_lost. The aliens had Alpha and Cargo hive and the comm droped me a JP and a GL as a "last hope" type thing. I jetted off into Los Paranosis and went into the vents that led to Alpha. From the vent I was unable to see the hive, but if I got out on the ledge and arched the nades right, they hit. The aliens that were in the hive were a few lerks and a few skulks. After I damanged the hive very badly I jetted back into the vents with the lerks chasing me. I fired two nades on the side of the vent, and two up ahead of me. The two I fired at the side took too long to blow, and didnt kill the lerks chasing me - however the ones that I fired infront of me killed both of them. I got to the end of the vent and was able to make it into that big open area with a node, and there only skulks left, but they still had leap. I busted out my pistol and after a flew close calls, and a few "mid air refuelings" (jetting in the same spot to get meds/ammo) I was able to kill the sklulks, went back into the vent - and killed the hive.
The map was eclipse. We had a comm before, and didnt do much ( a few upgrades, no hives). He had to go a few minutes after we knew aliens had two hives. I jumped in, got upgrades for jp/hmg and supplied 2-3 marines with them. They went to kill cc and it went down. 2 marines remained and they jetted to maint. ( One stayed behind for a bit). The first marine heavily damaged the hive, but then died. Then the second flew towards it. At this point, our fade was completely gone, and besides me he was the last person alive. A skulk was munching on the comm chair. The marine flied around, got my health and eventualy killed the hive and a few people there. While he was flying back, I jumped out off the cc, killed one skulk and got the ip up. Then it was just a matter of time for the aliens to die.

I'm guessing everyone knows the med armories where they heal 4 hp in its radius if advanced and it glows blue. We were playing bast and about 3 fades were hitting the base with bile bomb from the rotating door, and since the vent was welded and no gorge was around, I leapt into the vent from marine start and waited for the right moment with cloaking and silence. At some point 1 fade ran in with celirity and started slashing marines and buildings, and got 1 or 2 as he died. The rest of the team (this was a 12 vs 12 game) was huddled behind the armory, welding it and healing from the bile bomb. I hit xenocide from the vent, ran to the armory and exploded right as I landed on it. Funny enough I got 8 of them <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Sadly I lost the screenie, but it owned. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
In a 9 on 9 game I came into very late on ns_hera. the marines had turret/siege farmed processing with four tfs and maybe 15 turrets. I say, "We should gorge rush marine start." Everyone goes gorge and gets about 50 res. We rush in start building o chambers. The turrets take out two of us very early, but the rest of us are building and healing each other. After about two minutes, everyone but me had died, but their o chambers were killing the turrets. All of a sudden the tf is down and 6 marines show up from processing. The o chambers start blasting them, and I just keep healspraying. And as I'm hearing my team yell "holy ****" I look up and I see that I have just pwned like 5 marines with healspray. Eventually the IPs were dead, with a commander and one marine left alive. They tried to get a CC up in processing, but the lone marine there with his turrets was no match for the skulk army.
In the ready room after the marines were all "OMG" "Worst team ever" blah blah blah.
I don't remember the map, but the map was the one with Fusion and Waste Handling hives.
I joined aliens, as I always do, the aliens then proceeded to lose around 3 times in a row due to terrible gorges. I got tired of it and gorged the third fourth time. I went around dropping res nodes till the rest of the team had full res. I went to fusion and put up the hive then three defense chambers. Next I proceeded on over to Waste Handling hive and put it up shortly after Fusion went up. Next I placed three movment chambers. The marine base was falling by the time Waste was up. And by now every res node on the map was taken by the aliens excluding the res node in marine start. Obviously the aliens won, and everyone on the team complimented me on my gorging skills.

Anyway, my best moment was going 69/4 as a fade.

Due to my fading I managed to kill nearly 6 turret farms single handedly and .. of course, 69 marines. Then the third hive was up and the game ended very quickly indeed. (I also owe much to my faithful gorge who came to the front lines to heal and fend them off with webs)

meh if you really wanted to know my best time it was 'killing while upside down'
Rushed into marine base,started jumping and biting like mad,and suprisingly I took out the whole marine team.I proceed to take out IP,then a marine spawned and I had to run back to heal.But I killed them upside down....so they started saying I have a model h4x :/
