Last NS match: SLAK vrs the world!

[slayer.faith]

When: Friday the 12th at 8pm <-- note different night!
What: SLAK vrs everyone else!!!!! All humans if we can!
Where: 210.50.192.224:27049

Lets try for a SLAK team of 5+ vrs everyone else as aliens (hopefully 5+ too)! Playing against humans means you need to push hard to take res-towers and lock down parts of the map, because if you dont then the other side gets them (and gets the advantage). Human games mean each team to get organised and *move!*, right from the start! Push push push! (Think of it like the difference between dod and an organised dod war).

Remember to check out the pinned topic in this forum for gameplay hints, graphics fixes and all round advice.

Last time we got 10 humans but I picked a bad map (as i posted in the thread about that game). This time we'll be re-playing ns_metal (we played this one before (vrs bots) the week before last weeks game).



ns_metal has a nice spread of res towers that forces each side to get out and looking round for res.

i'm in. just installed ns and it is awsome cyas on

Just a reminder: its on tonight so bring your lmg's and teeth (for those of us who are really old ;-)

Come on! Lets make it a great turnout and an epic battle!

Id highly recommend that you have a quick look at the map below and get an idea of the layout and hive locations. I bet someone is going to screaming them into the mike at somepoint tonight! :-)



The red paths are vents for aliens and jetpackers to use to leap down on you screaming "death from above!".

Well we didnt quite get enough for a slak vrs the world game, but we had a reasonable team vrs a couple of great alien players (nice work there you evil yellow blooded monsters) and some bots.

Nice to see some new people around. :-) Catch Wangs or myself anytime if you want a 1 on 1 walkthrough of either side (or comms training).

You know, number wise, i think we could get to our 6-7 slakers now. Thats cool! Looking forward to some more all human games.

Sadly next weekend Im away (out of melb) and so, alas, I wont be around. Wangs kindly offered to pop on and be available for training, advice or a full on game! Roll up and practice because pretty soon now Im going to try and start some organised play (all humans!).

So get to know each side (marines and aliens). Catch myself or Wangs sometime and we'll answer any of your questions (or even walk you through the whole process from the start). (We're both addicted to the game so we're happy to rope more people in ;-).

---------------------------

Hints of the day:

Marines, move as teams! That way atleast you show your buddies where the aliens are. Alone the aliens just pick you off too easily.

In that last game we were too slow as the marines. We didnt get resources quick enough and the aliens just swamped us with their stronger life forms and upgrades. We almost secured that 'cooling' hive (which would have been good, do deny the aliens upgrades and improvements) but once we lost that and had only a couple of res, it was basically game over.
