Let me be the first person to welcome you to the community. Welcome...
Tips? Remember that motion tracking lets the marines see you across the map with their minimap (default button bind: "c"). Use the minimap it is pretty helpful.
Listen to your commander, build what he drops. Don't plead for a shotgun as that only makes you look like a newb. Request things as needed. If you manage to ninja (Ninja-ing is to get to a place undetected) beside a hive ask for a phase gate or if you get to a resource tower ask that your commander drop it or If you need a medpack, ask.
Remember to use the armoury when you spawn. I find that when you have 150 extra bullets it is enough. Any more and you are armoury humping, which is basically wasting time by getting full ammo loadouts. Usually you die before you can use all that ammo.
If the commander yells "PHASE PHASE PHASE!!!!11", drop what you are doing and use the phase gate.
If the commander yells "Get to X", drop what you are doing and get to X on the double.
Certain maps have an area with two res nodes, these are called "dbl" (dbl being a shortened version of double resourse nodes). They are valuable. You commander may ask you to "GET TO DBL< NOW", get to dbl.
Against skulks trying strafe-jumping in no patterns, while spraying them with the lmg. Remember they can climb walls and no room is safe, they could be right above the door.
Against the gorge, just unload on them, they go down easy. Remember they are the builder aliens, and might have an oc (alien stationry offense chamber)
Against the lerk, becarful they have ranged attacks. Their spores deal damage over time. They can shoot out spore clouds from vents making them an ideal support class to weaken the marines before contact with other lifeforms.
Against the fade, unless you are traveling in a group of 4+ marines with shotguns and armour 1 and weapon 1 expect to get owned by any decent fade. They will blink (special leap) in, proceed to slash everyone to death and blink back out. THey will then use Metabolize to heal themselves and proceed to do it again and again. Fades are major investments, 50 res. The cost of a gorge+hive.
Against the onos, <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif' /><!--endemo--> , well. ph34r... They are living tanks. I'll let you find out on your own. I call it the pwnos. Because it pwns everything except Heavy Armour + Hmg marines.
F3Ar the reaper unless you got jetpack
W?lc?m!
Mirrodin gives some fairly accurate advice.
My only advice is do NOT give up. NS may seem fairly complex and over the top at first, but don't just throw it in the recycle bin. Or maybe you don't even recycle.
The New Player forums is always a good place to ask questions if you are unsure about any aspect of NS.
good sig is
as i lurk in the shadows.
i spy upon my prey...
YOUR INTERWEEB NAME HERE
depends what player you are, which reminds me...
oh, and if you want a good sigpic, i could make you one, but its only gonna be something easy, dont expect something all freaking crazy and awsome looking, like seph's avatar
Become good at this and you can easily bring down a <!--emo&::fade::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/fade.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='fade.gif' /><!--endemo--> or <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif' /><!--endemo--> by yourself with an HMG or shotgun.
or at least hurt him really bad. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
If your alone and you see this <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif' /><!--endemo--> and all you have is a light machine gun (LMG), run like hell.
Try here for a sig, <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80986' target='_blank'>[Sig Request Thread]</a> usually you get an answer. And the word usually is abit too genorous <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Welcome new player or begineer as it is most polite way of saying it.
The only advice i would suggest do not use **** on some servers they are pit nicky about it.
(Robert) give my regards to the man next door/commander
PLEASE ENJOY YOUR STAY AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING ANYTHING DON'T HESITATE TO PM ME.
CUTTER
anyways, here is tips from Celiz, nub of tipping... (also go to artwork forum, or that guys link for a sig)
DO NOT GET IN THE COMMAND CHAIR!!!
i say this because, you will either be ejected....made fun of, yelled at, banned, hunted down and shot, and your spirit will be crushed making you leave NS, and we dont want that do we...NO
2) DONT FADE
i say THIS because, you'll be called a rse **** and everything above
3) try to "gorge" and drop res nodes, or save for 35 res and drop 3 "dc's"(defense chamber)" or which ever chamber your team agrees on, if no1 says anything ALWAYS drop dc's , as your team will hate you if you drop a SC( sensory chamber) or MC (movement chamber)
4) learn to bhop, <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->, some ppl say its not needed...and i do agree its not needed for a beginner since he'll die alot anyways, but learn how to do it and once you become a decent NS player, this will help you out alot
5) dont beg commanders for rt's (resource towers) , tf's (turret factories / turret farms) , pg (phase gates, unless in a good position, I.E. near hive) and do NOT ask for stuff to be electrified
6) if you see some1 hideing on a wall or behidn a door, do not run up near him and start chomping on him thinking its funny...bc its not, hes trying to set up an ambush and you need to be QUIET. so walk away and dont come back!
this is all i can tell you really, hope it helps...but just stick to listenin to what your commander says, anything he says..no matter how silly or stupid it sounds
also i dont know if your against hte use of scripts or not, but i wont post any just the two chat binds that might be useful for you, you put these into your "USERCONFIG.CFG (you'll have to make a text file and name it userconfig.cfg if you dont know how)
these are chat binds, or "scripts" that radio comm a medpack or ammo as well as type the message out
bind "mwheelup" "impulse 11; say_team Need medpacks"
bind "mwheeldown" "impulse 10; say_team Need Ammo"
also, you can change what they are bound too, thats just what i use , and you can change what you say to anything goofy like, OMG DROP ME TEH AMMOZ or, I FELL OFF TEH CLIFF, MEDPACK
if any1 else would like to give him some help, that would be nice <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I think you pretty much covered it, especially with #6 lol.
