Interesting And Funny Gorge Experience

I was playing on i think ns_nancy (the map where the three alien hives are sewer, reactor room, and satcomm) and it was one of the best (and longest, took over an hour and a half) games i had ever played.

We started with Reactor room and put up satcomm next. By then the rines had rine start, reactor room, and the res at sewers. We needed to get sewers (and was unable to get it, hence the long stalemate.) but i took out the res on sewers but it kept getting put back up by both sides.

The funny part was one time i had res so i went up to the res node in Sewers and went gorge. Right when i was about to lay the res down i heard jp sounds coming this way. I froze on the spot (it was right behind and to the right of the res facing the wall.) cause of motion tracking. I had not cloaking and around 7 of them flew right past me, some at eye level and one even flew in front of me on the res. I could not beleive that none of them saw me. I proceeded to set up the res and many o and d chambers. Then some more came back and took it all down though <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

It was very interesting.

    I think you mean Tanith, which has Waste, Fusion, and SatComm.

    Why did both teams keep putting up the res node if it was just going to be killed? It seems like defenses would have been better, since the res tower probably didn't pay for itself each time it was put up.

    I'm not sure what part of the map you are talking about (if it is tanith and not caged).

    Anyway, believe it or not, if the JP don't know where you are, they suck at finding stuff compared to marines cos they zoom around so fast (except at 30fps) and even if they look at you, it's easy to blend in.

    Also, the Jetpack noise drowns out your grunting noise. Just don't try your strategy early on, against HA (who have all the time in the world to look in every corner) or any walking marine. You snort like every few seconds and that is like a becon to me if I'm a marine.

    I'm not sure what this has to do with strategy, unless you're saying we should freeze up when jetpackers fly by. But yeah, since they have to navigate, they're looking straight ahead and not to the sides.

    The map was Tanith, i played it again later the same day. (I don't know WHY i always get some of the map names mixed up <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> )

    Sorry i just wasn't sure where to put it. It seemed funnier when you were there. Especially since one Rine sat there in crouch right in front of me.

    my best is the exploit of the res tower, if i know theres a marine commin my way i hide in the res tower put down a d chamber, purposly start building it so the rine tries to poach me, then i start heal spraying once hes in range, if u do it good enough the res tower takes most of the dmg u take 1 bullet or none and ur heal spray heals the chamber while hitting the marine if ehs close, then the d chamber does the rest of the ehaling, if the marines dont die they usually get bored like an animal and move on or act like they moved on and try to ambush me later on, this strat works id say 98% of the time, not only is it funny but it gets the marines P I S S E D <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
