I seem to be reading too many Comm Tactics, what should the Marines be doing? A waypoint isnt enough, so I was wondering if I could get some Footman Stats or point me to a already created thread (I may have missed it >_< )
eg : Plant the phase gate in the corner where theres Just enough room for a marine to sit behind. Now give this guy a welder and he is now almost unstopablel. The perfect Defence againts 1st hive aliens.
>_< I shouldnt need to explain why but just incase ....
1)If a skulk runs at you he'll be tele'd through the gate
2)If he attacks the gate you can weld it
3)Dont forget your welder is also a weapon ^_^
Also The comm cannot waste rez spamming meds trying to save you, so when under attack try to move in a routine path, eg: in a circle.This will make it easier for the comm to keep you alive and even though the alien will also pick up on this routine by then you shouldve killed him ;/ We've all experienced a marine who looks like he's purposly avoiding your meds -_-
The main advice I have is keep your backs to the walls, If multiple turrets are dropped build the one over looking a phase gate 1st (If one is present), Follow your commanders orders and try not to get departed from your fellow team mates.

In 1.04 you don't go through gates unless you press the Use key.

unfortunately for the CSies, your enemies are <b>true</b> moving targets <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Everytime I talk to people on public servers, they say that they OWN at counter-strike; which is a mod that depends TOTALLY on your aim.
But in Natural-Selection, they can't seem to hit the broad side of a barn.

I did own at CS at CS at one point enough to get myself into a CAL I clan (CAL I is the best of the best in United States) Not all CSers who play NS are totally bad <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
good cs players now just know how to get the first shot in, and mostly on stationary targets..
No, thats 'rambo' skill, the best 'rambo's b-hop along see an alien out of the corner of their eye (or hear it drop) and then spin around bouncing out of its way (or b-hopping backwards at extreem speed) while filling the alien full of lead. (they may be doing this while on a special mission or while just running about aimlessly)
MARINE skill is about: moving out in a group, keeping your fof (field of fire) optimal, not blocking your team mates fof, checking the rooms propperly in such a way as to kill any alien 'suprise' attack (ambushes should never suprise you) and holding rooms.
Pressing the 'use' key when facing an un-built building.
Not humping the ammo dispenser when the com asks you to go through the phase <b>now</b>

Has some good guides on the above.

he wasn't talking about being a rambo, no matter how big a squad you have a skulk might still drop down on the ceiling and start to bite your arse off. If you're the one being eaten, it would be extremely helpful to your well-being if you were good at hitting small moving targets at very close range. Skulks are fast, and faster with celerity so it happens often.

By all means, encourage lack of aim. I won't be able to clean my teeth fast enough <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
