The XENOCIDE

And:



On bast, after 3 hives, I cloaked in the rotating door and voice commed to my buddy Bill J, "I'm gonna sit here invis. I'm gonna let those marines get a faint glimmer of hope when they attempt to go through this door. And I'm gonna be the darkness to put out that glare."
To which he replied "You, my friend, are an a$$hole."

To those marines, I toyed with, I'm sorry, but you made my day.

Not to be pessimistic, but if you've got three hives, why aren't the spawn portals down yet?

Because we did nothing but toy with the marines. It was pretty mean to do, but even some of the marines started laughing when we did it over and over. And yes, it was won long before we did our Xeno runs.

Plus, I like to think I tought a few of them to aim better. They actually managed to drop us skulks with celerity and carapace before we could even explode. That's like less than 2 seconds and damn good aim.

That's Great! I love it.

xeno-time is truly a beautiful thing


in a game today, it was a friggen fireworks show of xenociding skulks after one got "lucky" and nailed 3 in one, their whole team decided to finish our base using ONLY xenocides. lol

but, of course, the next round, we had our revenge


gj w/ all those kills, man

xenocide is fun, but the blast radius is ridiculousy *sp* big

Lol

When NS was released it was much easier to kill alot of marines at the same time, now days it looks like that specie can think and be ready for a little devil

I like ending the game with a bang. If I die during the final base assault, I'll stay a skulk, with celerity, carapace and scent of fear, then go find that marine hiding in the vents and give him a proper send-off. Wait til he starts moving (since you can see that, and the direction, due to SoF) then run up behind him and scream....

I wish I had taken a screenshot of my best xenocide so far. Here's the story, in any case.

I was lucky enough to hear that flashy "building created" sound in the next room, so I ran out to see what they were up to. What do I see but four marines huddled around a turret factory outside one of our hives. I scurried up the wall, ran across the ceiling, triggered xenocide, then dropped on top of the factory, and exploded. Getting five kill/death messages at one time is a sweet thing to witness, and it's even better to be the cause of them.

I loved it!! As soon as my claws hit the top of the factory, all four of 'em backed away a step and hauled out the guns. Just as they were about to start firing on me, BOOOM!!!

I really wish I had a screenshot.....

Yeah. That's how my first 1 went. I got 3 at once and was talking with some random dude on voice-comm. "Damn I wish i would have screenshotted that."
Then a minute later, I pulled it off. Now it's a reflex to hit f5.

aah what a small world it is...I'm sure I've played with [C*B] Elven Thief before

Yup now xenocide is fixed in 1.03 it really does turn the skulk into the deadly killing machine like it is in the first 5 mins of the game.

My problem is choosing what alien type to play when we get 3 hives, all those abilities are so damn cool!

Babblers, fixed bile bomb, xenocide and spores are just sooo much fun.

It does really **obscenity** marines off when 3 or 4 of them get blown up by a little hive 1 alien lol.

Happy hunting, Mark

it takes a while from when 3rd hive comes online till the point where marine base is destroyed, as you probaby know.

mass-xeno is nice, but if marines are at least halfway smart they should start using their flashlight after the second group kill.

I couldn't get a picture of it:

But a xenociding skulk on Nano-Gridlock took out *Four* HA + HMG marines on their way to put down the hive.

xenocide+mines=win

Nice. I pulled off a 5er myself but didn't realize it until I noticed 4 deaths on the sceen an my own name wasn't there. The console listed 5 besides me, but I forgot to screenshot it.
It was a group of marines on their spawn ramp on nancy. Building some turrets, hoping they would stop the infestation of fades attacking them.
