I'd just like to say that if you don't play in rookie designated servers, do not try to command for a while. It's much better to sit back and observe what a knowledgeable marine/alien commander does and ask them why. There's no point in commanding if you do not know how the game works. It just irritates me when some noob hops to the chair and starts building turrets everywhere (happens quite often). It just ruins the game for everybody else in servers where people somewhat know how to play. | ||

I think it's a good thing to want to try all the game has to offer, and to see if you like commanding, but the order you should do it in is: 1. Learn+play FPS mode. You can't command without knowing how the most important part of the game is played. 2. Learn all about commanding. I recommend using explore mode so you can mess around all you want and get used to the interface. It may also involve playing games and asking your commander questions or watching NS2HD videos. 3. Try commanding on a rookie server Basically, don't just join a non-rookie server and try commanding without having done it before. You might end up wasting everyone's time by ruining the game and making herMan upset. | ||

Really enjoying the game. Tremulous experience helps a TON with playing aliens, not so much marines, though the games are very similar Aiming for marines is a bit whack atm due to FPS issues and optimisation issues, hoping they get fixed soon (aliens OP haha) | ||

I for example save resources for a quick fade almost every game and then begin dominating by picking the stray noob marines and destroying enemy phase gates when no one's around. | ||

Highly depends on the kind of game you're playing, the quality of your team, whos comming etc. In pubs i like to run around the ceiling of topographical and then camp it the whole game as a skulk lol | ||

That's what I usually do.  It's usually pretty effective. I'm usually a skulk, fade, or onos. I'm not very good as the gorge or lerk. Always seem to die so quickly as the lerk.  | ||

Always seem to die so quickly as the lerk. The art of good lerking is still unknown to me and I feel in ns2 it's more rewarding. So fragile but so deadly with all of the attack options. I almost never gorge because I am worth so much more playing as skulk/fade/onos. I play by the nickname yingyang in public so holler if you guys see me. | ||

I skulks for their speed, gorges for their goofy cuteness and fades for their blinkness. I find that I die really quickly with almost every alien organism (except gorge), so I just wait till I get onos. I'm just too darned slow and clumsy. Like a marine can jump around me and avoid most of my swipes as a fade, and I die in a really embarrassing way .At least as gorge I can serve a semi-useful function. But that usually means I'll never be an onos. I also heard a funny joke online. They called the onos the "OH NOES". For some reason I really liked that  | ||

Being good at lerk is really hard Tbh, theres so much skill in aiming/positioning/dodging, it makes you feel like that your aiming must suck all the time or that your movement must be really bad lol The problem is that theres a HUGE skillgap between competetive and gathers, then another HUGE gap between gathers and pubs, and i lie somewhere between that. edit: "I also heard a funny joke online.
