Crouch & Slash

Error404 · February 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">More effective for Fade?</div> I find slashing while crouching to be more effective against Marines, especially HA. Could be something to do with hitboxes? or just psychological?

I don't think it would make much difference.

It might possibly help if you're circling them rapidly, they're aiming slightly up, and you duck so that they keep turning and miss you. I did that once or twice in TFC as a spy vs hgws <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

When i can get within range for a melee attack with a fade, the marine is screwed so fast that the way you slash<i> doesnt </i>matter (even with Ha).

Something I like about skulks(early in the game), however is <i>jumping and attacking</i>(not leap) to kill marines in 1 hit. Making a transition to walls when someone is shooting at you makes it hard to attack because its hard to keep track of what direction your guy is pointing, and where the marine is. Ive killed up to 5 marines with a skulk before coming around a corner and "jumping" the first two, and going directly towards the other 3.

LA, of course, HA would be insanity, my record stands at 3HA/hmgs at once (noobs) and a 4th soon after that (straggler) then capped by some LA with a pistol <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

I find skulking Versus ha extremely hard, the best way to take them down is with good teamplay. Get a couple of skulks to dance around the HA, get up close try to survive aslong as possible, then the rest of the team rushes after say 10 seconds, hopefully the HA will have to reload before the last skulk dies and you can start inflicting the damage.

Mess hall sucks, but it is not the worst marine map....
Base is really easy to defend (only one entrance and long hallway) and you can go to a every hive through vents.
So jp/hmg marines are really powerfull in that map....maybe even too powerfull <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

SuperBOB · February 2003

Mess hall is precisely why nancy is easy for marines....

Take mess hall early since its near marine base with mines and sentry's and you have easy access to all 3 hives. Its a nice choke point and can prevent less skilled skulks from getting to points your marines are actually attacking. Also with the amount of vents covering from hive to hive (especially unnamed) jetpacks can really dominate this map.
