kngiht thinks this game is gay but anyway
this past week i been getting boared with cs and i cant play battlefeild online so i had a shot at NS and iddnt mind it
playign for 5 min got killd 3 times by aliens
so has anyone got any pointers on how to play and any ideas for good servers?
Spray and Pray :D it the best tactic for marines when you on a 56k
Medal of Honor Allied Assault and Alien Vs Preditor 2 are good games on lan..... hmmmmm dga and avp2 & mohaa.... sounds like a plan
As marines try to stay as a group and follow your comm's orders. As aliens it is better to stay as a group but you don't have to. Also as aliens don't bother about biting at the feet of marines caus eit does crap all. Ohh and have the sound up.
Shit yes AVP2 is a great idea, that game scares the shit out of me during the middle of the day
Pity people wont go out and buy this game, but instead stay content with another HL mod.
avp2 is fucking awesome, but i found the marine missions werent as scary as avp1 missions, but the graphics are a huge step up.. man i love it.... beep beep beep beep... *flare flare flare flare* *spray* *alien noise* *scream* *die*
Big problem with avp 2 is the netcode is awful,
once you get more then 3 playes in a game the lag becomes unplayable, I think some of the later patchs fixed this, but I am not to shure...
Btw the most fun in that game is playing an alien :)
I played a lot of AVP2.
As a marine, having the ALICE was an epiphany. Everything before and after that was just f*cking terrifying.
As a Predator, I played through it quickly. It was simply too easy: you're invisible. You have unlimited healing ability. And you can shoot Marine heads off at 500m.
And I just couldn't stand playing an Alien. It was too weird.
As for LAN play, as soon as a Marine picks up a Smartgun, the whole game becomes "Gang up on the Marine". Which is why, in the interests of a good game, I learnt to frag anything with a pulse rifle and grenades. Including fricking cheesy predators.
And yes, the netcode sucks.
As marines the pistol is 100% accurate no matter what you're doing. Stay with your group at all times.
In natural selection there is no specific body damage.
As aliens avoid going gorge unless you know how to be one, read up the tute and watch other players playing as gorge before going one yourself. Gorges are the win or lose of the team.

thanks for that jay this is what i am lookign for
just bits that i shoudl know
tar
Pistol at range
Machine gun or primary at close range (cept nade launcher)
Always encourage ure commander, he does a thankless task
Dont forget to ask for health when u are low and in a safe possie
If the man in front of you starts building, cover him
Move in at least pairs
Ask the comm for what the team should be doing, no heroes in this game
Siege cannons need to have a spotter and a comm do a scan b4 they work, and they only attack buildings
Listen very carefully to your surroundings, aliens move quickly and quietly (and they have an upgrade called silence, very nasty )
If you have a jetpack, use it to move around by slow jumps, it will keep you airborn and moving quicker
If you have Heavy Armour, take the point, and have someone weld you from behind to keep the armour healthy
Heavy machine guns have 150 rounds, dont premature reload
VERY IMPORTANT: Get your comm to get motion tracking asap
Well thats how i play and i usually end up on the winning side
Ill post alien hints later on :)
thanks for that eos
at the next lan if people feel the need to play AVP2... please inform me... that is one bloody excellent game..
netcode sucks BUT the latest patch does fix it... especially on lan. :)
predator... :twisted:

You sure about this?. As an alien if you bite at the feet of marines it takes a lot more hits to kill them then if u bit above the legs.
Killer, thats usually cause they are jumping (with bad lag its almost impossible to bite effectively)
Leap attack as an alien is the most devastating weapon if used correctly. You can even change direction on mid leap. Also Fade blink and claw combo is way way to powerful (cept agaist HA with HMG)
Ill post all me alien tricks and tactics (read:it works for me may work for you too) when i get home tonight

Yes I am sure about that. Can even check it up on the ns forums, but in the forum faq is specifically states there will never be any specific body damage.
Anyway as eos said.
