<div class="IPBDescription">chomp chomp chomp</div> Playing as a skulk on ns_eclipse last night, I managed a huge kill. Early game, and I was just heading into the marine base to harass them a bit when a squad of about six marine came through the door in a big bunch.
I'm dead, I thought, but maybe I can take one with me. So I started jumping round like a mad thing, biting everywhere. They weren't expecting this and as they were so close together and in such a confined space that they got in each other's way and couldn't take aim easily. I killed them all in about seven seconds, and then someone got me.

this also can apply to buildings, if they're close to each other stay low and run around them eating everything as you go, the marines wont hit ya because the buildings are in the way. normally i scream "thank you silly comm!" when that happens
Even if you dont kill anyone, you should have hurt them badly untill your cara gives up <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Then you got 10 Marine res wasted for medpacks or some easy kills for the next Skulk maniac ;D
I believe we only had movements upgrades and I was upgraded with celerity. The HAs blocked eachother and the welder HA stood in the way of others (hehe) We lost that game, but it was still a small victory for a guy that never takes down HAs <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
