Back in 1.04, on siege_005, I was the king with JP
So, were on top of the bunker reloading our ammo and such. When suddenly some onos comes out of the gate followed by another onos. Me and 2 others fly away to kill em'. We managed to kill one onos. The other onos paralized my teammates and gored them to death. I was flying around, dodging its attacks, while he suddenly paralizes me. I fall down, still shooting that onos. BANG, -40 health. As I was there, paralized, I kept shooting that onos. It charged, and come closer rappidly. I kept shooting untill I had 0 ammo left. The onos was almost near me by then, so I popped out my welder and started welding. This onos walks into me and I welded it to it's death <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->. Guess it had very low hp.
Also, an other time on siege_005, some onos pops out of the gate and I fly of to battle it. So there I was, flying around the onos and shooting it. When I was right above it, it paralized me, I fell down, on the onos. I aimed down, and started shooting it. And killed it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
my favorite moment, two marines were jetpacking down the hallway from marine start to messhall. From messhall, i leaped at the one on the right, and went right through him killing him (thanks to 1.04 leap ! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->) and then turned around and did it perfectly to the other guy, and they both had HMG. WOOOO
Oh yeah, forgot this one. 1 time on ns_fenris. Marines were cornered in. So I flew out with my jp to check out, while suddenly 5 (!) oni pop out. I scream over mic "OMG, get the fook away, 5 onos inc". And then I died.
Hrm, probably the best game ive ever played in was last night on voogru hive1. The map was ns_tanith and I was a rine and I spawned in at what appeared to be the end of the game. We had our base in the Satilite com hive, and this gave us a huge advantage. But we were constantly being rushed by onis and skulks. We had one reznode, the aliens 9, and were constantly throwing onos at us. We had been saving up for motion and amazingly the team was half HA. One of the LAs discovred that they were sending 7 oni at us, and so we all got up far away from the doors and pumped HMG and GL rounds into them, one guy actually managed to kill 3, after that rush they were desprate and tried skulk rushes, and when that failed we moved out and sieged chemical transport, and after that we took reactor, and they were finished. 1 rez node vs 9 and we manage to get out of there alive. There was great teamwork in this game, no one wanted to see anyone else die, and I managed to save (and was saved) from rampaging oni on multiple ocasions. Good teamwork (and good comming) makes for really great games.
My favorite moment in NS had to be when I learned that the lerk was getting bite back. I was very depressed to see it go in 2.0, and anyone who knows me would know why, but now that its back I actually want to play NS again...
No insult intended, im not a very diverse player, in 1.04 I almost exclusivly went lerk. Those were the good old days.
I have a nifty quote that I'll post when I get home. ;D
2 oni came into meh base (MEH base literally. I was only marine vs 2 aiens)
I got my jetpack, got behind em and WELDED them to death. Oh joy <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
My best moments were when sYn, my team back in 1.04 would crush opponents so bad, that we had to make up another clan tag just to get some scrims, because nobody wanted to play us. Also when we whooped **** internationally, was a satisfying feeling. Our general domiance over the game was the best time I've had playing online in a LONG time.
First day of 2.0, on bast. The game was winding to a close, and the aliens had pushed us back into our spawn. An onos has just started to try to attack our spawn, and inflicted minor damage before retreating down the lift to heal. I noticed him again about a minute later down the bottom of the lift, trying to gore a lone LA to death. Naturally, I dropped down straight onto his back and welded his butt to the ground.
But aside from that, my fondest memories are of just after the 1.0 release. 5hr games, back and forth. No one knew what they were doing, but we loved it.
Mineshaft - about 30 minutes underway, we had a few onos (including myself) and whoops here came teh HA train to Generator res. so, one onos penned them at the way to double res (he had loads of support though), and i was just looking hungrily defending the ladder going to tram tunnel hive. i think we kept them there for about 20 minutes, until....they suddenly came fookin up the ladder!!! 8 of them!!! and well even with stomp it aint all that easy to keep off 8 lvl3 hmg ha blokes, so i retreated just outside tram tunnel (where you can go either left or right into hive) and called for the other onos and his lerk/skulk groupies to help the fook out..anyways, me and the other onos died but had 100 res, silly rined didnt actually go into tram though, they just waited for sieges to be done. when our eggs hatched it was pwnos time and we destroyed all their HA/pg/tf etc, but whoops here they come again <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> repeat -> mash HA/pg/tf after that, they were all outta res and it was gg.
n then theres another few classics at mineshaft, where we rebuilt like 6 hives in total, crazy and everyone was like gg vgg omg gg <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
also one on Bast...about 6 HA trampling at feedwater, they built sieges but we bile bombed teh TF in time until onos came...they came again and again but they got whacked again and again. too bad they managed to take out/lock down engine from a siege from the vent, also they got a siege in the vents at feedwater taking our hive down to 300hp or so, and gorges were healing like mad while skulks kept on rushing the 4 HA in vent, and took em out just in time <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> too damn bad they got another team into refinery while we were busy at feed...down to one hive and it was gg <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> they used vents to avoid our onoses, clever rine **** that

i cant remember one special game , today i played a good one, we had two hives with no def and the rines had ha and hmgs, i somehow managed to kill 4 has as skulk and go onos to get the third hive up, then we did a three onos-train and pwned their base <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
The best moment must have been when I saved an outpost from a horde of víle skulks (or 4 of them) with nothing but a knife, what do you do if you are out of ammo?
I was a marine in Cargo Bay, on ns-origin. I had jumped out onto the hanging green crate to get a good position to cover the area. I began exchanging fire with a Lerk down at the bottom of the open shaft. I kept reloading, then trying to pop him when I saw him come out at the bottom of the shaft. I was very confident that I was going to get the guy on my next burst.
Until I leaned over the edge too far, and fell about 100 feet down into the shaft, splatting in front of the (victorious) lerk.
I know this is my third post here but I just had another memorable game.
One game, 5 onos.
2 of them from full health with an LMG (well the turret farm did most of the work but you know what i mean) 1 from full health, one-on-one with a HMG 1 with a shotgun, he was probably hurt already 1 unremarkable kill where he went down through mass HMG fire and I got the lucky shot
The two which died by lmg were within the space of 30 seconds, and had some of the alien team crying "HAX!", which made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I had also single handedly saved Fusion hive with that act of heroism/luck.
*edit* Actually now that I think about it they started accusing me of hax when I took down 14 skulks in a row with a HMG. They weren't un-coordinated or anything, i'm amazed I fended off so many myself. I was in that coridoor just outside of waste handling. That also gave me a warm fuzzy feeling <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> *edit*
The other occasion which I remember was also on Tanith.
The aliens were defending fusion. We had HA trained through satcom leaving the hive dead, but a few chambers left. I was dead when fusion hive went down and the game of hunt-the-alien began.
I immediatly headed to satcom, knowing that there were some DCs there. I was a LA marine. I entered through the right-hand door and sure enough saw the last alien enter from the left-hand door.... an onos. He must have been pretty beat up from the fight at fusion, as well as the effects of the ping-of-death, but this did not ditract from my glory.
He stood by the DCs and I opened fire from the doorway. The fell beast charged. I hadn't bothered to get extra ammo so I soon found myself empty... I drew my trusty knife.... STAB! He dies! The entire alien team was watching this onos charge at an LMG marine and dying in one stab (yes i emptied 2 clips into him and he was weakened but I DONT CARE!).

It's a bad one! I'm sad now - I expected an uplifting story. ~whimper~
One of my favourite moments was a last stand for the marines in viaduct hive. we had motion tracking and a few left over res. From the motion circles, we can tell that the aliens were massing up for a large assault just around the corner(east access, i believe)...very very movie-like <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> As soon as we knew that was happening, we made our own preparations. That meant making a small minefield leading up to us, and having two rows of marines (first row crouching, second standing) standing roughly in the middle of the walkway above the hive. Soon after, with everyone tense as heck, the aliens charged in! Two rows of about 4-5 marines emptied their lmgs into the incoming aliens, the first few skulks died almost instantaneous.
...soon after we were pwned by the lerks and fades behind them <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
My first game on the 31st happened to be a terrible Marine loss on bast (I of course was a marine <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->). I stareted in my spawn, amidst dozens of turrets. There were bilebombs exploding everywhere around me (the other team was basically all made of fades, and they were bilebombing from the vents like proper **** <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->). Basically, I was confused out of my mind.
My <i>best</i> game would have to be my first full game ever, on Nancy (on the next day). IT was everything that I've always wished a game could be - i was marines again. I and about a half dozen others were all walking around over the entire map as heavies, killing whatever we saw. This game lasted about 3 hours, going back and forth forever.
The next day, people figured out what a 'skulk rush' was. GG 1.0 <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
haha..... well heres the link to the demo... just watch it...
Mind you we had been totally getting our **** kicked before this.. they had us walled in the entire game, and we had almost died like 3 times.. but had lmg rushed waste twice....... this happened 45 minutes into the game ( i was comm) but its a MUST SEE DEMO.... <a href='http://www.chi-wire.com/~ccnncc99/reckoning.zip' target='_blank'>http://www.chi-wire.com/~ccnncc99/reckoning.zip</a>
The only way we survived that long was with 5 ip's until i finally got us lvl 3 weap lvl 0 armor.. and i started gettin HA.....
We actually came back to win
And it was turtling.... but heres why.. immediately on game start we rushed SATCOMM, and were almost killed there, 3 guys from our team went to west, and after we recovered we tried to get chem.. however 5(yes 5 ) gorges were outthere healspraying 2 o chambers and our whole team died... we tried again only there was 6 o chambers up now (about 2 min into game) from there we got quick phase to waste, took it down... got kiled.. one guy hid in vent until they left and put hive back up.... and did it again.. lost it again...
From there we were locked into satcomm with 2 of the best lerks ive ever seen in the vent... really the 5 ip's were the only thing that kept us alive...until this...
Watch it.. it is the defining moment... the climax..... OMG.. it gives you chills.....
My first game in NS was on Nancy (This story is true for LB as well)
Not knowing what I was doing, I managed to fall into the vent under the busted-up grating. I was down there for like 6 minutes before I figured out I was stuck.
one game, no idea what map, 2 HMG HA's were coming toward our hive and I just ran in as a skulk and killed both of them (given they were damaged, average of 5 bites each) never expected to kill 2 HA's as a skulk in any situation, but I just kept jumping around and biting them, and they didn't hit me enough that regen didn't keep me alive. After they both died, I ran back to the hive and healed up, then messaged my team "2 HA's down". No one really cared but it still was a bit of a confidence boost for a while <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
My favorate had to be the first game I played with 2.0. I went gorge and dropped a sensory right next to the marine base. It was loads of fun for 2 reasons. Half my team had not gotten out of the mindset of 1.04. "OMG, we loose, kick him, ban him!" , and the other was because we were all new. The commander didn't know how to counter sensory. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Skulks ran rampant and just ate everthing. Very fun.
Now that I think about it, the next game I really enjoyed as well. The first time I saw a skulk actually align itself with a wall I was so awestruck that he ran up and ate me. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
What first saw as a avarage public server game turned out to be my best game. Map: Mineshaft There pos: Only Marine Start Our pos:Only sewer Teams:consisted of lots of newbies and some experienced players. *All marine team went to assault our last hive(5HAs 4lights). *At the same time we(aliens) gathered behind marine start and managed to actually take down there base. *So did the marines,we lost the hive.They had 3 HA left. *All of our team died of the forzt attack. *but...1 onos and a gorge managed to defense chamber there selfes in. *HAs were moving to them,they all had little ammo left. *Gorge ran to a nearby hive(drill,was it drill?the down left hive:P) and started building it(aliens still owned lots of rcts so res flow was good) *Then we suddenly realized that the onos guy was having his first ns game and didnt know the map,he didnt even know what a HA,hmg was. *The gorge heard the sound of a HA train...quickly found the darkest corner and waited until the HAs passed. *At the meantime when the hive was still going up gorge made a run for it...1 HA saw him.Gorge started to panicly and madly jump and ran to the next hive(he had 40res by then) HA came back to his squad wasting half of his last ammo clip on the gorge. *The hive was half done but HAs managed to knife it. *meantime onos was camping in marine start figuring why the game wasnt over. *We joiced again when our gorge found a new hive(sewer again=)) and started building it. *HAs found it 2:(.This time our gorge didnt escape,he got knifed and HAs(who where all out of ammo) started knifing the hive. *Finally our noob onos found a way to get to hive. *Next was a epic battle of onos vs 3 HAs with knifes Onos managed to kill one HA offguard.The other HAs started to run madly away from the onos.Sometimes they had a 5sec time where onos was stuck on the ladder and they could knife the hive a bit.This things went on for 5min until the HAs knifed the hive.We where losing again. Finally onos caught one HA and killed it.Now it was 1vs1.but oh no...ONOS DIED of the frozt!;Noooo....we lost!;WTH happened.;damn noob onos ;Good game.(PS.i know there are lots of grammar mistakes)
NS_Tanith. My team (marines) was experiencing a bug where the game would start with no cc. Out of about 5 rounds we managed to take down the hive twice. We got it the first time when they tried to gorge rush us but when they ended up in our start we had managed to avoid them and kill the hive. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

My favorite game illustrated the grandiose scale on which ns owns.
In a massive 12v12 game, we were aliens, had 2 hives on ns_nothing, rts were evenly split between the teams, but we had no dcs...(sens first, rines were owning us), they had big ha trains, jps etc, constant epic battles around every turn. The marines had relocated to room with things, (next to cargo) and had turreted up most of the place and were gl spamming the entire area, no way for much to get past. Nearly 2 and a half hours of fighting lead to this epic climax.
In the greatest feat of alien team work, a skulk with silence/cloaking got past their defenses, dropped another sensory chamber and the hive. The rest of the team evolved to the higher evolutions and waited next to a movement chamber for the hive to finish. Well...our gorge in cargo got a little greedy, and decided to try and drop a few ocs all around; this got the attention of the marines. As soon as they took him and the ocs down, they started shooting at the hive...and at that very moment, all 11 of the waiting instruments of destruction instantly warped to the hive and attacked them from the inside out. Absolute carnage ensued as the lerks let loose umbra, the might explosions from the grenades rock the very ground everyone stood on. The pudgy gorges were letting loose the bile bombs and heal sprays, a rain of spent hmg and shotgun shells fell to the floor, fades were flying attracting fire, while the skulks and the one behemoth onos went around destroying the standing marines.
When the dust and blood settled, everything was dead, save a lone skulk, munching on the comm chair to finish the end a three hour battle.

Until I leaned over the edge too far, and fell about 100 feet down into the shaft, splatting in front of the (victorious) lerk. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That's not a good NS moment! It's a bad one! I'm sad now - I expected an uplifting story.
~whimper~
...soon after we were pwned by the lerks and fades behind them <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Best loss ever!
My <i>best</i> game would have to be my first full game ever, on Nancy (on the next day). IT was everything that I've always wished a game could be - i was marines again. I and about a half dozen others were all walking around over the entire map as heavies, killing whatever we saw. This game lasted about 3 hours, going back and forth forever.
The next day, people figured out what a 'skulk rush' was. GG 1.0 <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Mind you we had been totally getting our **** kicked before this.. they had us walled in the entire game, and we had almost died like 3 times.. but had lmg rushed waste twice....... this happened 45 minutes into the game ( i was comm) but its a MUST SEE DEMO....
<a href='http://www.chi-wire.com/~ccnncc99/reckoning.zip' target='_blank'>http://www.chi-wire.com/~ccnncc99/reckoning.zip</a>
The only way we survived that long was with 5 ip's until i finally got us lvl 3 weap lvl 0 armor.. and i started gettin HA.....
We actually came back to win
And it was turtling.... but heres why.. immediately on game start we rushed SATCOMM, and were almost killed there, 3 guys from our team went to west, and after we recovered we tried to get chem.. however 5(yes 5 ) gorges were outthere healspraying 2 o chambers and our whole team died... we tried again only there was 6 o chambers up now (about 2 min into game) from there we got quick phase to waste, took it down... got kiled.. one guy hid in vent until they left and put hive back up.... and did it again.. lost it again...
From there we were locked into satcomm with 2 of the best lerks ive ever seen in the vent... really the 5 ip's were the only thing that kept us alive...until this...
Watch it.. it is the defining moment... the climax..... OMG.. it gives you chills.....

tell me what u think...(its thru SOUNDFX's view)
Not knowing what I was doing, I managed to fall into the vent under the busted-up grating. I was down there for like 6 minutes before I figured out I was stuck.
Marines won! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Now that I think about it, the next game I really enjoyed as well. The first time I saw a skulk actually align itself with a wall I was so awestruck that he ran up and ate me. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Map: Mineshaft
There pos: Only Marine Start
Our pos:Only sewer
Teams:consisted of lots of newbies and some experienced players.
*All marine team went to assault our last hive(5HAs 4lights).
*At the same time we(aliens) gathered behind marine start and managed to actually take down there base.
*So did the marines,we lost the hive.They had 3 HA left.
*All of our team died of the forzt attack.
*but...1 onos and a gorge managed to defense chamber there selfes in.
*HAs were moving to them,they all had little ammo left.
*Gorge ran to a nearby hive(drill,was it drill?the down left hive:P) and started building it(aliens still owned lots of rcts so res flow was good)
*Then we suddenly realized that the onos guy was having his first ns game and didnt know the map,he didnt even know what a HA,hmg was.
*The gorge heard the sound of a HA train...quickly found the darkest corner and waited until the HAs passed.
*At the meantime when the hive was still going up gorge made a run for it...1 HA saw him.Gorge started to panicly and madly jump and ran to the next hive(he had 40res by then) HA came back to his squad wasting half of his last ammo clip on the gorge.
*The hive was half done but HAs managed to knife it.
*meantime onos was camping in marine start figuring why the game wasnt over.
*We joiced again when our gorge found a new hive(sewer again=)) and started building it.
*HAs found it 2:(.This time our gorge didnt escape,he got knifed and HAs(who where all out of ammo) started knifing the hive.
*Finally our noob onos found a way to get to hive.
*Next was a epic battle of onos vs 3 HAs with knifes
Onos managed to kill one HA offguard.The other HAs started to run madly away from the onos.Sometimes they had a 5sec time where onos was stuck on the ladder and they could knife the hive a bit.This things went on for 5min until the HAs knifed the hive.We where losing again.
Finally onos caught one HA and killed it.Now it was 1vs1.but oh no...ONOS DIED of the frozt!;Noooo....we lost!;WTH happened.;damn noob onos ;Good game.(PS.i know there are lots of grammar mistakes)

Props to Xeero and Yumosis
downloaded NS the day it came out, found a server and joined the marines.
For some reason the comm gave me a shottie and let me be... I followed a couple of other till I noticed they all died by something with a horn (only saw the kill message) so I ran on...
What the point of the story is?

In a massive 12v12 game, we were aliens, had 2 hives on ns_nothing, rts were evenly split between the teams, but we had no dcs...(sens first, rines were owning us), they had big ha trains, jps etc, constant epic battles around every turn. The marines had relocated to room with things, (next to cargo) and had turreted up most of the place and were gl spamming the entire area, no way for much to get past. Nearly 2 and a half hours of fighting lead to this epic climax.
In the greatest feat of alien team work, a skulk with silence/cloaking got past their defenses, dropped another sensory chamber and the hive. The rest of the team evolved to the higher evolutions and waited next to a movement chamber for the hive to finish. Well...our gorge in cargo got a little greedy, and decided to try and drop a few ocs all around; this got the attention of the marines. As soon as they took him and the ocs down, they started shooting at the hive...and at that very moment, all 11 of the waiting instruments of destruction instantly warped to the hive and attacked them from the inside out. Absolute carnage ensued as the lerks let loose umbra, the might explosions from the grenades rock the very ground everyone stood on. The pudgy gorges were letting loose the bile bombs and heal sprays, a rain of spent hmg and shotgun shells fell to the floor, fades were flying attracting fire, while the skulks and the one behemoth onos went around destroying the standing marines.
When the dust and blood settled, everything was dead, save a lone skulk, munching on the comm chair to finish the end a three hour battle.
Owning 8 skulks in a row on ns_tanith...
4 lmg, 2 pistol, 2 knife.
