It depends on the alien team at that time and how good they are. Alien comms, particularly in pub play, go shift hive first to avoid egg lock. Crag on second hive is a must to counteract shotguns and weapon upgrades. Result of this leaves shade on the third hive.
[QUOTE=GoldenBullet;38503919]I coordinated with a friend onos a while back so this lone marine wandered into me as a cloaked onos, turned to run and ran into my friend :v:[/QUOTE]
this makes me want to get 3 friends, then we all go invisible onos and try to entrap one marine, just to see his reaction. Then maybe if I really wanna be an asshole we'll all spam stomp and keep him from moving.

One time I asked the khammander to make a whip rush for the marine's last base, and as the power went out and the marine commander got out of his station, I kept stomping him and a whip kept slapping him on the dick while he was lying down, every aliens stood there and watched, and when he died his body jumped to the ceiling.
That's some BDSM shit right there.

Unless this happens more than I think it does, I was there for that. It happened like 2-3 weeks ago in a match I was in.

I preordered this a long time ago. Been installed since.
But I still haven't launched it because I'm scared.

I don't see how the shift change is going to help >20 player servers. And regen is still amazing.
Good to see the fade getting a buff

play on rookie servers, they're highlighted green.
The community is pretty nice, there's nothing to worry about.
I really want this game.

I suck a shit ton at video games and I still manage to get in a good game here and there where I don't suck total ass, and get a somewhat good K:D ratio or even just 1:1, or even just a shit ton of points (which really matters more so than K:D.) If I can manage it, so can you. If you still have your doubts, as has been said before in this thread, invisibility on Kharaa (especially a Fade, but also can work on a Skulk and maybe even a Lerk) basically provides a single free kill in each life if you wait for the right opportunity, as well as Kharaa being basically easier to play (imo) than Marines. You can also just simply hang back as a Gorge and help your commander out with building shit and setting up defenses. You're a Gorge so I don't think people would blame you for not being on the front lines.
regen still op. instead of 1.5 seconds it's now like 2.5 seconds.

Oh thank God, they've fixed the 6 minute Onos eggs.
Shift Hive change is just a pain in the arse, in my opinion. Now I'm going to have to keep actively going back to them to lay eggs, which is a chore and I might forget (which will lead to us having low egg count). Before, I'd just hatch about 15 eggs in each Hive, then 10 mins later, I'd do it again.
I'm okay with the onos changes.
Glad they reduced the range of his gore. That thing was just ridicilous
here's a preview for my new map.,..
6 marines were walking around the map admiring the great dev textures

Last time I tried marine comm. So much shit is going on and you have to keep an eye on EVERYTHING.
I'll stick to commanding the alien team.

"gg noob comm"
learn to phasegate / observatory / hotkey.
pressing spacebar sends you to the marine who requested the earliest.
Still too much to keep under control. I very much perfer the alien team to command
aliens just do their own thing and if they're better than the marines you auto win as alien comm almost.
People have trouble with micro in NS2? Jeez you literally only place a building occasionaly and spam meds and ammo.
Agreed. Marine comm is 80% supporting your marines with medpacks and ammo, and 20% other shit.

Meanwhile alien comm is boring because you're left with nothing to do but watch, essentially

I hope they add the ability to tell aliens what to do, just as an option. Also, I enjoy spreading infestation!
If you're not using your hive sight to tell your team where and how many marines go, and assist your aliens with bone wall blocks and drifters, you should seriously consider letting a better khammander take your place.
There's plenty to do as alien commander to assist.
