<div class="IPBDescription">needs to be used more</div> In a typical game as a skulk, I'll start off rushing the marine base and getting off 1 or 2 parasites then attacking. Then when i go back a second time I'll sit outside and wait for them to come out and parasite them, or tag them while they are getting ammo. Now as a gorge I don't have this option and I ask my teammates to tag as many marines as possible. It usually doesn't happen though because most aliens are frag happy.
So in this post I'm asking all you skulks to try and use your parasite more often. If the marine doesn't kill himself you will know exactly where the marines are heading (unless hes smart and goes off in a different direction).
Here are some tips for parasiting:
- Like i said above, hit them while they are loading up a full clip of ammo that they will never use. It's great when there are 3-4 marines hudled around it and you tag em all. Even if they see you you have a second or 2 before their guns are functional.
- Sit outside thier base (easy on marines starts like ns_nancy's and WAIT! Don't attack, dont move, don't breathe, just wait. Then as 4 of them walk out, wait some more until they are as far away from you as possible while still being able to hit them. Then unload. They might not realize that it came from behind them. If they see you try an attack but if they keep going wait a few more seconds til they are out of hearing range and attack the lightly defended base. Or you can wait for more parasite fodder.
- When you are running down a hallway at a marine you can't do crap with your bite gun until you get there so parasite him!! If you die your alien pals are sure to get him.
- Keep parasite on your "last used" weapon for quick switching
It really sucks being a gorge and not hearing the marine coming around the corner until its too late. If he sees the little yellow circle coming his way he can atleast hide and alert his teammates. Parasiting is just too useful to ignore. Feel free to add your parasiting tips <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
edit: don't forget that parasite operates any button. So you can open doors with it! This helps you open delayed doors in advance, keep marines spooked from afar, even cutting a marine team in half by locking them out from across the room. I love doing this in mess hall. If you wait till the first guy is 5-10ft from the door and you hit the buttonthe first 1 or 2 will walk in and your skulk team will slaughter them. Then the other 2 will walk in and you will slaughter them too!

I love the feeling of parasiting some1 because i know i hate when im marine.
If i dont suicide i will walk the other way from my team and go rambo[hopefully distracing them or holding them up.]
I like to parasite first then regen wait and munch much, mmm thanx 4 dinner.
its even better when you parasite a door that just happens to close at the right time to crush a marine <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
