<div class="IPBDescription">The 0 bullet win challenge.</div> 2 Proposed methods to win a game without using guns. If you can pull either of these off Id be very impressed <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> It might work on the right server so TRY IT!

Method 1: Relocate near their hive, making sure to build the ips(2/3) ontop of the command chair (Using the stacking bug, after the first theyll sink through, dont worry you can still spawn) which means that the ips can only be attacked from the side making skulks easy to knife when attacking your ips. TF/UPG, Siege whilst guarding with knives on structures (it is quite difficult to take down structures when someone is knifing you!).

Method 2: Ip/Armoury/3 welders, recycle armoury/ip, move near their hive, find a corner or a little hole and have the welders guys stand there, whilst rest guard with knife, tf infront of the corner/hole. This is done so that it is near impossible for skulks to get through form the sides if possible, upgrade/siege. If youve managed to block the sides palce the siege on top, otherwise use it to create a little bunker. Have the welder rines constantly welding and knifers spot the hive.

Successful demos would be greatly welcome!

Do grenades/shells/mines/sentry turrets firing count as bullets? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

To be serious, even if you don't allow gl or shotgun or mines....just use jetpacks+welders, it's been done before. You can use LEET TURRENTS and mines to guard your base.

It's really not as terribly impossible as you might expect, you'd just need suicidal marines is all... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

no turrets, not shotguns, no grenade launcher as they all fire projectiles. Sieges are sonic weapons, to take the hive down before they get the second up you wont have the res. A jp rush woudl be impossible due to pull off with only melee weaponry.

ZiGGY · April 2003

I never said it was impossible but it is important that you never fire a single bullet the whole game.

Mindmeldme · April 2003

besides the near impossibilty of that...unless your facing total noobs. I can see wielding down the hive but. Other then that...your plan, i would have to see to believe it could work. Ballsie though.

ZiGGY · April 2003

It has challenge in the title for a reason <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Mindmeldme · May 2003

oh granted a challange. I'm just saying...my god. Of all the tactics to really challange a team with...I don't think I've seen one harder.

sej · May 2003

lmao

nice taccy zigg.

JaGman · May 2003

If only the average person could join a pubby and make the marines win with knives and welders without certain marines claiming that the comm doesn't know what he's doing. Sounds like a strat to try when you know the alien team isn't very good.

pardzh · May 2003

Wow, very intersting and creative strats, lol.

I think I'm going to get a few people together and try this...

Redford · May 2003

Here's an idea. Turn on tourney mode then get skulks to injure the hive when they try and bite you.

Iced_Eagle · May 2003

hahahah... watch me pwn the alien team with my knife only... 5 v 1 <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> i wish but ill try it i guess

Acrobad · May 2003

If I am on the kharaa side, i would camp near their IP (not attacking), while they spawn, go and chomp chomp dead, chomp chomp another... but would be quite hard, i'd say. (Method 1)

1 word: Lerks.

You could get JP's insanely fast cause you can recycle your armory after you drop one arms lab and like 2 welders. Drop the Arms lab, drop the proto, recycle the arms lab,research jp, get 2x jp's. You'll probably have to recycle your base node to do that last step as soon as possible. Marines can fight skulks without carapace with their knives to an ok degree; just try to block off your doorways with knife slashing marine! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

That's the only "tactic" that would have a chance in hell of working, especially since you can still win with your base gone so long as those two marines kill the hive fast enough. You'd have two jp+welders (or to be even faster 1 jp/welder) within about 2 minutes of the game starting. With some health spam, and the majority of the aliens eating your base, you COULD win, although like I said, it's not gonna happen.

roachems · May 2003

there would be no way you could make the WHOLE marine team use a knife
people would eject you from the comm chair so fast

but if you get a group of friends, or say a clan to do this.... i suppose it would be possible
funny as hell too.
