<div class="IPBDescription">Best battle, lots of fun.</div> Map: Hera
We start off (Aliens) and, contrary to my pleas for Resource Towers, only 2 people dropped one. One of them was me. All the rest wanted to 'Saev for teh Pwnos!' So we're screwed on resources right away. After about 30 minutes of constant rushing into the marine base, i have enough res to throw up another hive. Up it goes.
Except, because no one could be bothered to drop a res tower, we're FLAT ASSED BROKE, and have only ONE sensory chamber.
Meanwhile, some gorge is running around spamming O chambers in random locations. I keep telling him to build towers, but he ignores me.
So the battle wages. We trade ground back and forth. Eventually SOMEONE had enough brains to go fade and blew some marines away.
Then some JP/HMGs wasted our second hive and the defense chambers someone had thrown in there.
So we're as good as dead at this point. 1 hive, a couple sensory chambers, and a scattering of res nodes.
Somehow I find myself back in the little 'underground' part, where it's raw rock. They had a little outpost in there. I take a breath and rush it. I accidently wedge myself in this crack behind the phase gate and begin munching. None of the turrets can hit me. It goes down, and I start on the TF. Two more skulks rally and join me. We take it out. The outpost falls.
Now if you know Hera, the little rocky part I'm talking about opens into a room... a HIVE room!
Stupidly, the commander dropped a TR right near the little entrance into the hive room (Data core delta). We destroy it and by now, everyone is helping. We scatter everyone out of the room and I throw up the hive.. again.
It goes up, and several JPers are approaching, those spammy O chambers that were put up? Wasted them <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
We take the hive and by now have enough res towers and build lots of upgrades. We go onto the 3rd hive, which is in the vent system. I'm in the pipe as a gorge and drop a sens tower and a d chamber. I start bilebombing and suddenly, remember those **** wou wouldn't drop res towers? One of them runs out in an Onos and decimates the place. I drop the last hive and we commenced absolute destruction <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
<b>What's the point of this?</b>
In 1.04, 1 hive meant death. 2 hives meant balance. 3 hives meant victory.
In 2.0, 1, 2, and 3 hives are all just a part of the game. They're not 'Game enders' like they used to be. Luck, karma, whatever, I'm suprised we dominated the high-tech marines from 1 hive, but we did.
I love 2.0.
