Good point, I suppose. Nevertheless, considering that the Fade's defining attribute is its speed, it seems a waste to wait for the marine to come to you.

I really don't understand how a standardized piece of SOFTWARE produces such different results on people's systems.I believe it causes problems for people with certain video cards or video card drivers, because occasionally when I crash I get an error message that says [name of some video card driver dll] caused the crash.

I don't see the point of cloaking on a Fade. Why go to the trouble of ambushing a marine using cloaking when you can just blink in suddenly and, in effect, ambush him? Why bother using cloak to escape when you can just as easily blink away? As I see it, cloaking is overshadowed by blink in practically every respect.

As a marine, I'm probably best with the jetpack. I prefer it over heavy armor in most situations. Also, I have no preference between the HMG and shotgun.
On the alien team, I'm best at the Skulk and Fade.
As a Skulk at first hive, I rarely take upgrades. At this stage I'm usually saving for a hive, three upgrade chambers, or Fade. As a Skulk at second hive, whether I take upgrades or not depends largely on how well the marine team is doing. If they are doing well, I will usually save for Fade; if not I will often remain Skulk and upgrade myself, usually with regeneration and silence.
I do not hit and run with the Fade. Against a single marine, I simply blink in and kill him, and against groups, I use blink to avoid their bullets while slowly wearing them away with swipes. My preferred upgrades for the Fade are regeneration and adrenaline. Regeneration I choose because it is the most versatile of defense upgrades. Except in particularly hostile conditions, it allows one to remain in combat indefinitely. I find it very effective against even the heaviest of weapons, weapons against which others would normally choose carapace. Adrenaline I choose because it allows for much more liberal use of blink. Footspeed is irrelevent. I never chase a dodging marine on foot unless I'm in no hurry to kill him; instead, I simply blink-swipe him.
I virtually never Lerk, preferring instead to save for more costly things. I also rarely Onos, doing so only if my team is in need of one.

The holding shift + clicking them doesn't add them to a previously selected group like someone said it did.CTRL + click should do it. I haven't actually tried it, but I recall seeing it in a playtester's description of the new 2.0 command interface.

Though I will of course obey the rules of the server, I don't see why conceding the game is so bad. Why prolong the game if it is effectively over? Is it truly fun to play a game that you have no chance of winning, or likewise no chance of losing?

Natural-Selection version 1.0 was released on my fifteenth birthday.

Hello all. I normally play on CoFR, but so many of the regulars there have gone dormant that the server is often either empty or full of random pubbers. Consequently, I needed an additional server to play on, and this seemed like a good one.
