<div class="IPBDescription">Requesting OMG moments...</div>There was a time of during the first infestation encounters between the Khaara and the TSA, where people wanted more weapons and had to type out the words due to lack of voice communication apparatus. A time when Natural-Selection was still the new kid on the block, new kids require guidance, but in a videogame attempts at something so rightness usually result in rage quits or flame wars, even before we had a flamethrower... I shall start with a few epic moments in time, which since then have become inside jokes or memes even. If urbandictionary is to be believed, such as for example:

The Lork on Clorf was a Lerk on the Cliff outside ns_hera, which was spiking the RT
Heh, how could I foget the torrents (it was torrents wasn't it?)
Also the Walls of Lame tm of course!
also, this:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04wOQKYEgoY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04wOQKYEgoY</a>
-Fights for processing (hera)
-the rotating thing (revolving door?) behind the marine spawn in ns_bast and the WOLs behind it :D
-saving your alien ass in a bunch of DCs and OCs somewhere in a vent, not moving the mouse (so MT doesn't track you). After the last hive was killed! Hearing the marines go away, quickly build another hive
-the little red room next to viaduct hive in ns_nothing (siege spot, last resort for marines)
am i doing this thread right?
haaaaaaaaaated that. unless i was playing rines.
There isn't :P
Also this one:

Think there's plenty to come with NS2!
Yeah he helped me become admin on the IAM servers, thanks to him and doglicker.
hahahaha that's epic.
Edit: double post I know, I'm sorry :(
/me warm and fuzzy

I have a video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFCRVNSkWqc" target="_blank">but the quality is poor, there's no sound, and unless you played heavily during that testing phase... you won't know what's going on.</a>
Hardly "epic", but my collection of backup discs is:

QUICK EDIT: Why has no-one mentioned smart_bomb and his "skorpions that hovars without flapping their wings"?
For shame NS community, for SHAAAAME!

It is on the list man! I'll add smart_bomb so people know who to "thank" :P
To me it's still the best NS2 trailer it's AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME.
I don't know why but other trailer aren't as good as this one, it's AWESOME.

-recreating ns_nancy and adding the rave room :)
-bunnyhopping (especially as marine!)
-clanning (cX) and puging
p.s My comment makes no sense.
this made for some fun games where you could relo to the top portions of a hive room (once you had jetpacks) and the aliens even with 12 onos' couldn't bring your base down.
even lerk gas was useless, since the turrets would shread them quickly, and most people had HA at the top of the hive.
great fun :)
ALSO :- MINE LADDERS and hiding just above the hurt field of a chasm
