<div class="IPBDescription">how to stay alive</div> they have 2 hives, you have a little LMG with lvl 1 ammo upgrade. you think ur in trouble. as your running around the map you come across a fade.....oh deer.
if the fade is far away then you can just unload bullets into him from afar but when the fade gets his claws out he is going to hurt you ...alot.
it takes 2-3 hits to kill you from a fade attack , but there is ways to stop the fade hitting you when they attack, this also works with onos and skulk attacks.
when a fade is running towards you , 1. dont run away, he is faster than you and ur going to die. 2. dont duck or stand still. in this situation if you want to have any hope of surviving you must run at the fade and jump towards him slightly to the left ot right. once you land gain some speed and run towards him again, dont know how must be a hit box bug but i get hit every 5-6 times they run at me.
if you mannage to pull this of then the fade cant hit you with claws so might use there acid rocket, keep running at him because he will hurt him self.
this makes soloing fades about 300% easier and also will use alot of Rps on the enemys side and its almost free for mariens.
hope this helps.

But if you have hmg that jumping will help a LOT. Yesterday i killed two fades with lvl 1 hmg. Other fade stayed few meters away and spammed acid rockets while the other one tryed to kill me with his claws. Every time when he get close i ran towards him and jumped slightly past him. He died when i had shooted almost half clip and then i emptied the other half on that second fade. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Don't let them escape, usually a fade will just launch a few acid rockets and run for the nearest defense chamber.
Where is the hitbox exactly of the Fade?
Dunno exactly. If you shoot that fade in the head your bullets will go trought. I always aim at the mid section of the fade.
Iam not sure about the legs...
Bw, did you know an Onos hitbox is so high above the floor he can sometimes walk across mines without triggering them?
Yup, team work is the "key" for marines. You can kill almost anything (except onos <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> ) with good teamwork.
And nothing isn't more satisfaing than killing a fade.....when he makes that *roaarrrr* sound and falls on the floor in front of your feets....it feels great, especially if you kill it with pistol or knife <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Ahh...I was wondering how that happened.....
Sure the Fade I killed was acided to bits by its fellow before I knifed it (probably hurt already before that as well). I was only going for it with my knife because of Umber and got a lucky strike in.. Now I know it was not skill but luck that got the kill but my point is the other Fade turned tail and ran and ran and ran with me chasing him knife out laughing like mad. I wouldn't have minded but I was only chasing him so I could die and respawn as I only had 8 health left and LMG. Even the other marines defending base laughed over comm as I chased it down corridor, adding thier taunts over text chat as well. Kinda funny considering my TAG and the "go get 'im Tiger" comming over com.
One of the best games I have played despite losing badly, good spirits in all players making a fun and friendly game (always a bonus if you get a lucky kill as well <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> )

next time chase an onos? ok? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
I killed over 30 marines in a row once with lvl 3 regen and adrenaline... You just need a different playing style.
Off course, if some of the marines have uber low ping, there is a glimmer of hope.
1)charge!
2)*splash**splash*
3) Run forest, run!!!
4)third and final *splash*
There is no escape from a decent-fade into the living world.
And BTW, fighting an onos with a knife is making a deathwish.
In fact, there is pretty nothing marines can do to counter the onos, not even team work will help.
BTW, don't count on redemption if the marines have HMG.
Oh no! A marine is sideways jumping toward me! Guess I'll have to swipe him with these long sharp claws I have! Oh wait, I have l3 carapace and l3 adrenaline, he didn't do jack squat to me in damage
Oh no! 2 marines are ganging up on me with LMGs from a distance! I'll just lob acid rockets then blink + swipe.
Like others have said, the fact is, if you have unupgraded weapons vs. a fade, you've lost already.
Hammers are good for gorge bonkin observe:

That is NOT true. Yes if marines have just spended all the moneys for sentrys or they have only 1 res node, then the game i usually over. But if marines have 3-4 res nodes, one hive locked down and com starts to equip his team with HMG/HA/welders and they stick together and know what to do, those fades are screwed. It is almost impossible to stop 5 HA/HMG and one HA/GL marines with full upgrades. One game that kind of a group of marines started to rush towards our hive and we couldn't stop them with 4 fades and one lerk. No matter how many acid rockets we spammed they just didn't die, because they welded each others and that GL didn't let us stay in umbra very long. If we tryed to get close and swipe them.....those HMG's killed us in few seconds.
