    I would just start playing and follow other people around. Gorgs in ns are used to build rts and chambers. Chambers allow you to get upgrades and rts give you res to spend on upgrades and higher life forms. The way co plays in the first 2min is what ns will be most of the way through a game(no jps/HA or onos until end and few upgrades 1 upgrade per chamber 1 chamber per hive).

    make sure you learn the tech trees before you try comming

    nothing more frustrating than having a comm do something like research armor to level 3 and yell "WHY DONT WE HAVE HEAVY ARMOR YET?"

    also i suggest watching other people comm for a bit to get an idea of their "build orders" and strategies.

    also, please tell your team you're new at comming.

    So they can eject you at any opportunity and ignore your waypoitns due to lack of confidence?

    There are two sides to the arguement. (Stupid phrase, why would there be an arguement if it was one-sided?) I still think it is best to tell people that you are new; that way they can decide themselves if they dont mind letting you comm, and will also tend to be a lot more helpful.

    Still bear in mind that some servers are not very new-comm friendly. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> Still, I wish you luck in your endeavours.

    well i dont mean for you to rush the cc and go "IM NEW WHAT DO I DROP?"
    at least get the basics down and have an idea of what to do first




    if nobody is comming, tell your team "im kinda new at comming but i'll give it a shot" or "i'll comm but im not that great". at least give them a hint; that way (hopefully) some people will give you pointers and strategies. that generally is your best shot without getting immediately kicked out.

    Dont die, in ns classic your life is really important, parasite as alien and wait your opportunity, matbe kill som resource towers, but wait cmping somwhere and try to get the marines from behind, and as marin, your life is even more important than the alien one, just dont die, build rts and try to kill the hive. Try to go through big hallways as marine and through small ones as aliens, and i think thats it more than less xD <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
