Got To Tell You About This Game I Just Had

Awesome game. Possibly the best pub game I ever had on Freaks Unleashed server.

Map was ns_caged. I was marine. Aliens went sensory first. Game starts out as usual and they start in Sewer hive. We are doing pretty good but then start losing rt's. When we lost double com decided to phase gate/jp/shotgun rush sewer hive. It worked but they had vent hive. We had not seen a fade yet but a few lerks were giving us trouble and with sensory, our first jp/shotty rush on vent failed. Then we snuck a phase gate in vent hive and shotty rushed it down. By this time they had generator up and a couple of onos with all three chamber upgrades (but no stomp). We manage to get another phase up outside gen and rush it, killing two onos in the process. While taking down gen another onos rushed base and killed everything but ms res and cc. We had nothing, and FoX came to gen hive and decimated what was left of the marines except for Garland. So here we are, four aliens left alive (one onos) and just our commander still in the chair and garland in gen hive with an onos working the cc and we had like 20 something res. Hinter (the comm) drops obs in gen, we have to wait for the res for beacon, get our beacon and kill the onos. Not even enough res for an ip, everyone rushes building hive (sewer I think) and manages to kill three remaining aliens trying to defend it.
This entire game came down to a duel between garland and fox, winner of that duel would decide the game. Doesnt happen like that every day. GG.

    I had a game that was almost that cool today.

    I think it was also Caged.

    Anyway, it was mostly about an amazing come-back. Another Skulk and I ran into MS when everyone was away, and managed to kill everything but the Obs and CC.

    Unfortunately, the Commander managed to beacon, and waste us. We got our second hive, et cetera, et cetera, and, suddenly the marines start to own us.

    Our second hive goes down, and the marines proceed to our first. Luckily, before this I managed to put up Cargo, so we still had our hive.

    Now, I am a big fan of Sensory chambers, but not when we have one hive, and its 20 minutes into the game. Needless to say, some idiot dropped that (the marines had killed all of our Defense chambers), severly harming us.

    Anyway, they're coming to our last hive. Being a Gorge, I run as soon as I hear them coming, hoping I can build elsewhere. I had thirty-something res.

    I make it down to a hive room that miracolously has no marines in it. My team is getting their **** handed to them, but theres nothing I can do.

    And this is where I get angry. We had plenty of RTs, and everyone is dead but me. At that point I had 36 res. I could almost feel the satisfaction of putting a hive up right under the marine's noses.

    Then, the last hive went down, and the "Ping-of-Death" killed me...

    Four more resources and we could have re-taken everything. If only I had had Level 3 Regeneration...

    I had many good games with MCs as first chamber. Heres a small story of mc as first hive chamber.
    So its 14v14 and we are playing in ns_cage and our starting hive was sewer and we quickly rushed for vent (Not really it was like 4 mins later and only 2 people were there) We then got double and started to drop rts and so. Then the marines are attacking vent like their whole team and a few skulks (Celerity , silence) Quickly (Also the hive in vent was going up) used the mc to go to vent and then me killed 3 people some other guy killed 2 and some other guy just died. Also a gorge just got to vent and now it was saved. Then after the hive went up its just like a regular DC > MC > SC game and we got gen and we won but just some reasons why each chamber has its stuff. MC I think is the best possible first chamber but it requires some team rushing and oraganization (Whos building the hive? Whos dropping rts?). For me its MC then DC and last (Bad losing experiances) SC. Also SC was really good in begin of 2.0 but after a while It came back to the average DC > MC > SC. It's hard to get your team to go somewhere or do something if your on aliens now today...

    Yes sensory first games are always good and more unique and more "loosing aliens" on publics.
    old story.

    i hate to play ns for five hours, losing 8 games out of 10, with almost perfectly balanced teams, just because the marines owned so badly... even after 2 hives. then i get to read these stories... *sigh* i think i'll go eat something

    In matches, it isn't that rare for marines to destroy the last hives while having a couple skulks getting the base down, and basically finishing with a couple aliens against a couple marines

    When a few people got in the com chair they capped and electrified alot of res and had 1 hive location but what the commander did was drop an observatory in every place (Like double like hive locations and turret factorys). Then I did it and rines complained I dropped to many observatorys saying that I drop one every 5 feet (Which of course I didn't). One of the hated moments to be aliens and having sc...
