Title: Ultimate Rine Strat
Post by: DarkScythe on April 11, 2005, 11:11:13 AM: okay, i know this has been really delayed in posting, but i've been busy :x

anyway, so we were bored one night and we decided to come up with a new way of killing the aliens.. Ranger came up with this method, but he hasnt posted any screenshots, so icono helped me remake the scenario and i took a bunch of screens

he did as well, but he hasnt sent them to me so I can't post them.. anyway, onward!

edit: apparently i can't attach the images so i'll be uploading them elsewhere :/
edit2: aw crap, i forgot to include a warning, but here it is anyway.. warning! these images are jpg format, but still 1024x768 resolution >_< might take a while to load (average ~500kb each) BIG POST!
edit3: nevermind, I decided to change all the img's into url's so just click away

In the beginning.. (http://www.darkscythe.com/nsscreens/ns_hera0000.jpg)

view from minimap (http://www.darkscythe.com/nsscreens/ns_hera0001.jpg)

and then it expanded (http://www.darkscythe.com/nsscreens/ns_hera0002.jpg)

minimap again.. even more red (http://www.darkscythe.com/nsscreens/ns_hera0003.jpg)

one fell thru the floor rofl (http://www.darkscythe.com/nsscreens/ns_hera0004.jpg)

really, what would u do when u walked around and saw this? (http://www.darkscythe.com/nsscreens/ns_hera0007.jpg)

i got bored.. built some chambers of my own (http://www.darkscythe.com/nsscreens/ns_hera0008.jpg)
icono couldn't GL these cuz of the dc's lol

i feel like i might get telefragged... (http://www.darkscythe.com/nsscreens/ns_hera0009.jpg)

and last but not least.. view from above (http://www.darkscythe.com/nsscreens/ns_hera0011.jpg)
(it looks a lot nicer from the comm's view, but icono has that i think)

with that many pg's.. the noise is utterly deafening
aliens wouldn't be able to operate very well in there, not to mention slower computers will grind to a halt when approaching this field lol

marines = win ^_^

Nope! It has happened to me numerous times >_<

On-topic, I tried doing this in Viaduct hive once, on ns_nothing. I had cheats on, and I just spammed away... eventually, they stopped emitting light - must be a limit in the HL engine.

Post by: lolfighter on April 13, 2005, 07:10:35 AM: Wouldn't acid rocket and bile bomb totally rape this? Considering all the res you're wasting on phasegates, I doubt you can hold any part of the map, giving the aliens an easy three hives.

Post by: lolfighter on April 13, 2005, 09:21:53 AM: Not really. stopsound to take care of the humming, then bilebomb ftw. Add in acid rocket so marines that try to weld take damage. Also, with the radius of bilebomb, it'll be hard if not impossible to keep all phasegates welded, especially while under fire from one or more Fades.

Post by: Malevolent on April 13, 2005, 02:53:04 PM: It wouldn't be good for PG roulette. There are too many, so you wouldn't get phase killed enough (and IPs are better).
