<div class="IPBDescription">the tale of the hungry skulks</div> I usually play as an alien, partially because everyone else want to be marines, but mostly because they are fun to play. Anyway, sometimes It's refreshing to play as a down-to-earth honest human with a gun, and that game it seemed everything were fallling into place. We had a decent commander, people seemed to act like a team, and the main base were up in no time. It was time to bring the fight to the alien scum, and we advanced towards the sewer vestibule with the goal of taking the sewer hive in mind.
We were 4-5 marines moving in team, covering each other and moving fast towards the objective, with me as point man. Suddenly something moved in the darkness before us, and I thought "Ahh, target practice!", since when did mere skulks pose a threat to an organised marine team? So I opened fire, I and my felow marines saturated the area with a hail of bullets, and expected the familiar icon of "x killed y with an lmg" to show immediatly. But nothing showed, and I realised that neither I or my buddies were hitting anything even as 3-4 little monsters raced towards me inside the tunnel. I panickly started walking backwards and adjusting my aim, but it was too late, and the screen went black with a *chomping* sound. At least, I thought, my fellow marines will avenge me? But then I saw the kill icons, and they showed that my squad were being slaughtered to the last man.
"What happened?" We asked ourselves? It was just skulks, right? So we went out again, intent of slaughtering the **obscenity**. Five marines, covering each other a little more careful this time. I placed myself in the middle of the squad this time, just in case there were some sneaky freaks out there. There were. Suddenly they gushed forth through the pipe in front of us (about the same spot as last time), and we fired like madmen, to no avail. Most of my bullets were wasted on the backs of my fellow marines as they obstructed my aim dodging back and fourth, and they slaughtered us again. This time it was even more humiliating, as one skulk called "Silverback" ate 4 of us all by himself!
This went on and on, we tried getting the generator hive instead, but they already had that bagged. then at last they got fades and mopped us up. They didn't even bother waiting to get the third hive, but went directly for the snack pack.
The morale of this story? Remove the skulk. It's too powerful! replace it with a fluffy bunny or something a little less dangerous than a hamster.
Fear the skulk!
