<div class="IPBDescription">RTFM ( ya know what Im talking about )</div> Hi all I play a lot on the H2O servers ( high level server ). I have been seeing MANY newbies get on jump around die too many times then leave. I know we need newbies to like the game. I see some joining an H2O server but its not the best if they have no clue how to play. So, I will give you a clue or a hint about how the game works and how to play. In other words Im giving you infinite credit at the clue store and if you cant find a clue here you should look again.
Things newbies need to know about NS 2.0
Marines are a newbies best learning tool
1. JOIN <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> MARINES!
2. NEVER GO COM ( this is just a newbes manual )
3. do what the com says ( if he says to go die you do it )
4. Dont ask for things because that shows you are a newbie and you wont get anything. And just build the stuff the com drops with the USE key not the welder.
5. You will hear people say get to "holo room" or something like that. They are referring to a room on the map with that name. If you look in the lower left corner of your screen above your health it will say what room your in.
6. Look at your full screen map ( not the one in the upper right ) that map will have locations of your teams stuff. where your team is. And last where enemies are that your team can see.
7. Save any building under attack at all cost unless the com said otherwise.
8. When doing a clean and sweep go with a group. Rambo looks good in a movie but he would die if he was in the game. So dont go solo you will die before you can see what killed you.
9. Remeber everytime you die the alien that kills you gets more res to become an <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo--> even faster. Everytime you kill an alien you get the com more rez to build better things.
9. Now you know the map so go <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> alien ONLY IF YOU KNOW THE MAP.
Now Aliens. This is the hardest part for any newbie.
1. Yes you can climb walls because you are a skulk. When coming up on a marine learn to jump on a wall near him while moving forward then jump onto him still moving forward. You can get a bit in on the jump if you do it right and then get behind the marine to finish the job. Try to stay behind the marine when biting him to keep him turning so other teammates can take him down if you cant. And last dont go off to die that just gives the marine team more rez to build even more stuff.
2. When you see an open rez node go gorge and put a rez tower up on it. Ask the team for back up if you hear any marines. Use the USE key to build. and then go back to skulk after your done building. ( let the exp players put down offense chambers and upgrade chambers )
3. Dont change into anything else but gorge and skulk untill your team has at least 2 or more <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo--> ( I say that so that you dont ask so many questions like whats this and that and why cant I climb walls and so on. Also its ez to get stuck with many of the other aliens )
4. You now know how to play an alien so now learn to talk to your team. Yes thats right go spend $5 on a mic if you dont have one and talk to the team. Say "Hi" "what up" or " what are we attacking and where do you want help at " and if you dont know what the team is talking about ASK!!!.
5. Dont mic spam. I dont want to hear your badly recorded music or that crappy saying that you repeat all the time. And just because the server is full does not mean everyone else wants to hear it too. They did not come to the server to hear your mic spam.
Tell me what you think and so on. I will be writing a new one about mid level gaming talking about how to com and gorge better.

you know, this is probably the reason why Aliens seem to win all the time. All the nubs are 'rine <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
Causing NS to be 'tweaked' so things are easier for marines -> nubs learn how to play -> rines always pwn aliens (1.04-style)
-If you accidentaly pick a weapon up that your not susposed to have, it's easy to drop it. Just use your command menu(secondary fire) and root around for the drop weapon option(I know where it is, I just can't remember what to click on until I see the command menu <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->).
-If you see a dropped weapon in the field, someone probably died while using it. Make sure you grab it so it doesn't go to waste.
-You are so likely to die, that you shouldn't bother getting too much ammo from the armory. When you can survive ok, then get more, but rarely will you need 250.
-Your LMG slaughters skulks, only 10 rounds(I THINK) with no upgrades and no carapace on skulks. That's pretty good killing power eh? So don't go whining to the comm until he's rich, even then he may be saving up for a very expensive plan. Even if you can't kill worth ****, your still cannon fodder, your still putting rounds in the air, and you can still build structures!
No seriously. Unless there's a good reason, <i>everyone</i> should pick random team.
