Just trying to revive the Khaaraa F`s from grave

the_x5
This one is though for me to answer...

I can rule out the one I don't like: onos. tiny.gif poor onos sad-fix.gif


I'd have to say skulk is one of my favorites. There's just something vicious and predatory about it. Not to mention wallwalking make for a very unique gameplay action. The only dislike about the skulk is they die so easily.

Tied with skulk is probably fade. Damn skippy. Dogfights with JPer's in the air are a blast. The only dislikes I have with the fade is that their blink runs out too soon. (uses too much energy) I also wish I could clip though e_polys. Build that structure blockade and I'll go though it. Or the ability to do figure eights through people and then smack them upside the back of their heads after blinking though them. God that would be a blast. (though would be quite difficult to pull off, but then again the reward for reaching the challege is well worth it)

Gorges, I love playing a healer & builder class just as much if not more than combat.

If I could have both fade and gorge abilities combined that would be my favorite alien.user posted image

Sounds just like you, lil buddy! tounge.gif

The Gorge by far is the most fun class to play...

Fade is the best for kills.
Moofasobo
For laughs I love watching Gorges moving around. Its just funny biggrin-fix.gif. I also like when you're a skulk and you bite their butt, most of the time the person turns around and the look on the gorges face is similar to a -_- smiley face biggrin-fix.gif.


But as far as playing goes I love being a lerk or skulk for Combat games, and a fade for NS games.

I like lerk because it is a support class, and its just fun to fly around distracting marines.
CrazySteve
skulk cause your moving so fast expecially with leap and the wall stuff is really cool too
Sakutaro
fade-best evolved creature, they should add an additional level to fade,fade level 2,more hp, more armour and more res
GDVL
1 ) The skulk.gif most form i play with and i like to sneak in tight... huh tiny places
2 ) The pudgy.gif , form i often play with, as it's low cost and help the team. I also take a lot the webgorge in CO (level 10 : scent of fear, cara/regen, adrenaline and... silence sometimes...)
3 ) The tiny.gif , only when i don't use my res... but i'm pretty bad onos
4 ) The Fade... with which i usually be killed trying to get down one shooty level 3
5 ) The Lerk, i was very skilled before... but trained players usually get me first now
6 ) The cocoon, i can go to the toilet before playing again...
Cheese
Absolutely Lerk.

I dont really like skulking...so if i can score 2 kills at the start i ll be lerk from 1:00 on biggrin-fix.gif

Give me 2-3 MCs and Marines will fear me (except if they lmg me down after about 30 seconds...happens too ^^)

What i really love about the Lerk (especially the bite lerk) is that he is very weak (talking about hp). So one single marine with decent aim and a LMG can take him down.
At the same time he will hardly ever loose this 1on1 if you can dodge his bullets.

So...Bite Lerking with Celerity is all about

- surprising the enemy
- using the terrain to your advantages (every pipe can be used to avoid bullets)
- scouting....which i really like to do
- and of course...spreading terror across the Marine Team.

Sometimes if i have one of my good days i ll go up to scores of 20+: 0. And its just really fun if marines dont move out alone any longer because they know that you ll go for them.
These poor lonely Ninjas who stand at a good position waiting for a phase gate just to find out that you are sweeping in from a vent to kill them the moment the commander dropped the PG. aaaah i love that!

Silence lerk is very cool too if you want to ambush a lot. But you need 3 MCs right off...and it becomes very hard after some time because you cant get out of action that fast...

So...to finish my post... I absolutely love lerking
Blammo8
1) 2 hive Celerity skulk.gif It's so much fun to jump into a group of rines and strafe in all directions totally pwning them
2) Celerity lerk.gif I just love guerilla fighting
3) pudgy.gif Laming is so much fun, especially when a marine tries to kill you by jumping your wall only to find out you already jumped to the other side and killing him with your spit.

Fade in combat beacuse i can get all of the upgrades and never die, skulks in ns_ beacuse i'm always playing hive.
DarthFaker
Fade... i like it fast.. u know? tounge.gif
CaptainHarassment
1. Fade - obvious reasons
2. Skulk - versatile (with upgrades preferably)
3. Gorge - helpful to the team
3. Lerk - if i want to screw around (not too good at it)
4. Onos - if i can't take something out with fade
The_Finch
I really love lerks for their various characteristics.

In classic, there really isn't a useless lerk. If you're new to the game, you can rock the adren and be a spore slinger. If you're a vet, you can go celerity/focus and terrorize marines with both spore and bite. Lerks can operate well solo and they really shine when working with the team. They're cheap and very cost effective. You have a huge amount of options to customize your lerking experience.

In combat, no other lifeform benefits from multiple upgrades as much as the lerk. Spore is highly effective at making marines vulnerable to focus and xenocide since HA is pretty rare. Since lerks are so fast and maps so small, you can make it seem like you're everywhere at once.

The only real vulnerability of lerks is their low health with can usually be compensated for by their extreme speed and pancaking.

Runner up: Onos. I love devour.

yus. i kill good with the onos, many marines
yourbonesakin
for combat, i like the skulk with leap.

then i go to fade and then if i can, i go to stomp-onos. WOOT!

stomp onos totally pwns combat. (especially with upgrades.)

skulk.gif
fade.gif
tiny.gif

the lerk for classic cos onos costs too much for my kind of gameplay.....
the geurilla tactics for the lerk are pretty fun. if i can get the whole team to go fades (only happened once) then that is the funnest form.
Cereal_KillR
It's become a habit of mine to stay skulk or gorges during whole games. People make such a fuss about who's lerking/fading that I don't even bother saving up because someone will end up neglecting his skulk and gorge duties. So why waste a game to go fade when you can have fun as a skulk and win?
I guess that I just enjoy skulking, gives yourself a challenge when faced against heavy odds, and I guess that, even if the score might not always show it, I know that I'm more often then not more valuable than some random fade who might have never died, but didn't do ish except occasionnal hit and run while I built RT's, took down enemy RT's and rooted out a ninja siege attempt. Not to mention how proud you feel when you single-handedly take down key locations or solo a small group of marines.

I very rarely go lerk, even more rarely fade and nearly never go Onos, and I only go into these forms when I'm ######. (You won't like it when I'm ######)
Splinter_Steve
I only go marines so I can use my pistol hopping scripts.
Andrew_Fireborn
I greatly prefer marine... but I'd have to say the Onos would be my favorite... if I didn't like gorging so much.

I loath Skulk... and I'm not good at controlling Lerks... (They're the bane of my Marine existance though... Worse than even Ninja fades...) Fade... I've not played enough, so I rarely get my Hit and runs right...
tjosan
Why do you loathe the skulk? It's easily the most fun and challenging class to play in my opinion. I'm just interested in hearing your reasons.
Andrew_Fireborn
Mostly, because I hate being so fragile. I realise that's the state of being for most of the alien team and the majority of marines...

But I find myself in the middle of a hallway more often than not, even when I'm trying to stay near cover. I like sneaking up on people, and heck they're rewarding kills, but more often than not I find I'm noticed when I'm too far to do anything about it.

Though taunting the marines that they taste of baby is always fun...

I usually try to stay fattie, which was easier back when... I found much more fun helping my team get what they needed, instead of getting shot up and feeding the marine team.
That_Annoying_Kid
1.04 gorges
followed by gorges
then skulks/lerks
and then onos/fade

I like them all, but when asked to prioritize

I'm not a very good alien player, but I found playing as a cloaked Fade the most fun to be had in a multiplayer game since some guy invented competetive orgies.

Bind a key to lastinv and learn how to play aliens properly. Also google for a bunnyhop guide, and you'll realize how darn fun it is to skulk.

Well...
1. Onos. I'm not that good btu damn, I'm having a fun time with this one! Devouring is so much fun ^_^
2. Fade. This form is that "I'm getting serious", I do enjoy being fade but it isn't as much fun as being onos.
3. Skulk. Depends, a lot. When marines are getting jp or ha, you really don't want to be skulk.
4. Gorge. Sometimes it's just fun not to be in frontline.
5. Lerk. I just can't handle these flying *******s. I just suck too much =P

Your forgetting to add why you like them

1. lerk.gif
One thing that I love more than anything else is speed. With the lerk I can get major speed constantly and since it can fly I can go anywhere I please. This is also the reason I like co_spacefall_b12 so much.

2. tiny.gif
Right after speed, I like power. Here's a quote that I heard a long time ago:

QUOTE

An onos is basicly a tank with legs


And it's always fun to eat marines.

3. fade.gif
A mix of my two favorite things, speed and power.

4. skulk.gif
Climb on walls and sneak around to ninja the marines to death.

5. pudgy.gif
Not enough action for my tastes, which is why I usually don't become a gorge unless I have to.
