Favorite tactic?

[player1]

Every player seems to have a favorite tactic. As an alien, mine is to crawl on ceilings as a dretch to headbite jettards on Ancient Remains. I'm not very good at it yet, but it's fun when it works. As a human, using the shotgun in tight maps with low ceilings (die, foul bug!). I've only been playing since January, so they're not really impressive. So, like, what's yours?

[Raytray]

Pouncing away with a goon and evolving into a tyrant and turning around to kick their ass.

QFT, I'm not going to give my strategies away to anyone other then my fellow clan members, and seeing as how I am not currently in a clan, no one knows >_>

Dretching bsuits.  They should be lucying my base, instead they are distracted and waste 2-5 shots lucying a dretch.

Dretching kill whores into tyrants.  They just want the kill, so they follow me!

Dretching jetards on the ceiling.  They fall and start shooting at my dretch, not seeing the goon about to pounce them out of the air!  Or they are shooting at me on the ceiling while the tyrant takes a chunk out of their base below them.

Trapper bases.  Humans check in but they don't check out!  I've even seen trapper bases discourage humans from coming back.  My favorite trappers are when the human gets trapped by one but sees another.  They kill the other one then after they get killed (moments later) they rush back into the alien base to get in before the trapper they killed gets rebuilt.  Of course they get trapped again in the same exact spot.  Often they don't return after that.

RUUUSHHH!

[Nagato]

Well here is a tactic I always use.  Fly or stand at the door way, get a Lucifer Cannon and rain plasma on them.

A jet pack came be your best or worst weapon

No worries. Some will, some won't. I guess I'll learn your tactics by seeing them in action. Of course, there's always spectator mode. :wink:

[Dracone]

Jumping into their base with Dragoon and killing everyone but doing no damage to their buildings till I can be Tyrant or I get bored of being fed.

[temple]

Aliens:
Jump past then kill em while they backpedal.

Humans:
Ground sweep.  Deals less damage if hit a teammate and kills bugs from a distance.  If you play with me, you better be dancing.

[DarkRogue]

my personal favourite tactics:

Human
The Suicide Charge

The Suicide Charge is also known as chasing the wounded alien down. Regardless if I have armor or not, the moment I hear the low hit point sound effect off an alien I will charge after it. OFten weaving through multiple other goons, maras and tyrants just to kill that one alien. Works even better when I have creds to pulse whore.

Alien
The Living Trapper of Karith

The living trapper is a basilisk tactic for protecting the elev room base on Karith. Typically granger sput trappers above the vent entrance and typically it gets grenaded. With a basilisk I wall walk over the vent hole and lay in wait for jet tards. They throw a grenade, I move out of harms way but move back after it goes off, as they try to crawl in I get some easy pwnage on them

[SithLord]

With a Dretch, on A.T.C.S. Right above the reactor in human base is a spot where you're invisible... easy to kill people there...

Shotgun is the best against dretches. Flamer is great against tyrants. Fire fire fire with a bsuit and then u blow up and kill the tyrant

[Odin]

Favorite tactic(shotgun):

Dodge. Dodge. Shoot. Dodge. Shoot. Dodge. Dodge. Dodge. Repeat.

I have to admit I love this tactic! Running down that goon with a couple tyrants is a wicked adrenaline rush.

Getting right and an advanced dragoon's face with a naked rifel is pretty awesome too, especially when you make the kill right before you're mowed down by that tyrant.

Also, making a heard of tyants run with their tails between their legs (figure of speech there ya idiots >_>) is awesome. Just go headfirst and do some fancy weaving and you have a heard of tyrants running for the door, regardless of your weapon. Give 'em hell, boys!

OK, I'm really new and not very observant, so, here goes. Huh? :-?

Ground sweep.

This works well in the two-room default human base when you are the door defender in the room on the right. Usually I wait until I can get a mass driver and move way back to snipe, when the aliens get large enough. But before that, when single dretches are chasing down lone humans in the empty left-hand room, you can sweep the floor with a pulse rifle and also drive them out of their hidey holes, where they lie in wait for low-health humans on the way back from the battle in the L-hallway. All from the top of a turret in the right-hand room. Even between the far crates and the wall. It just works. (What map is that, two big rooms, all on one level, crates, good camp spots for dretches right inside and outside human base, L-hallway & red corridor, move the armoury up & right... Nexus? Or is Nexus the platform with the big tube? Let's see, Karith looks like a stage in a club, right?)

PlayerOne can never keep Nexus and Niveus straight
but he's pretty sure he knows Karith from Arachnid

I only just noticed the other door to the alien base on Nexus6 yesterday, and I've played that map as an alien. D:  :eek:    :roll:

sigh. When the Overmind is dead, you should attack the alien base.

I said I'm slow. Not blind. I quoted you after I read what you said. Since I'm too dull-witted to multi-quote, I even typed in your exact words, so I definitely read them. Please, elucidate.

You mean attack when the alien OM is down because they can't build or evolve, so they're weak(er) and vulnerable (and that camper granger can't build an egg on the run)? So if they die they have to wait in the spawn queue? And when they respawn they can't evo up?

So, should like everybody immediately go egg hunting? Seriously, full court press? What about other way around, reactor down? Can't build telenodes; same deal - killspawn?

I just ask because people always yell the one taunt the game has ("C'mon") and you can never tell what the h311 they mean. You can't tell if they're leading a charge or bemoaning their latest waste of spawns. :-?

PlayerOne likes to make sure nothing happens to the spawnpoints
that's why he defends the builder

[_Equilibrium_]

your measure of rush during an OM down depends on the map. on atcs, pretty much everyone should grab a bunch of gear and go for the aline base. on something like transit, it might not matter, as there are always spammed eggs everywhere. aliens should always make it to AT LEAST sudden death on transit. it's what makes the map so unfair.

[Nagato]

Though as much as i support a good rush when the OM is down, it really always a 1 way trip.  And it isn't appealing when you have dragoons, or worse tyrants running amok around while your usually alone on a map sweep.  I found this very funny...s3 humans vs s1 aliens and aliens were OM dead, and only 2 people really rushed.

[treminator]

A whole 2 people?  Wow.  I must play on this fairy tale like wonderful server.  It's normally only 1.
