1. Your a skulk and you bite the marine and like 6 bloodspurts come out and he doesnt die...
2. When everyone is saying OMG GET THROUGH THE PHASE GATE WE CAN WIN, and people just hump the armory  v_v

leap does ALOT more than parasite.

try going on top of a marine, then look down and leap.  his health will go down like a madman on crack.

Ah, a place to put my annoyances:

INPROPER COVERING

Ya know, when you are building an RT and your teammate says he'll cover you, then goes off to a corner.

To properly cover someone, you need to be RIGHT next to him, so that the skulk is running at both of you and you can hit him, rather than just at your partner, and sort of at you at an angle which is very hard to hit.  In this case, usually the marine, on purpose or unintentionally, uses you as bait while you build.

What really comes to mind is south loop on ns_eclipse, where no skulk should EVER make it to the RT when you have someone covering you, because there is a good 50 FEET HALLWAY THE SKULK MUST PASS THROUGH.  Nonetheless, my teammates always "cover me" on the far wall away from the RT and let the skulks run up and chew me down EVERY SINGLE TIME!

COVERING INSTEAD OF BUILDING/KNIFING A NODE

If you have 3 or 4 marines at a node.  There is NEVER a good reason to cover, because if all 3/4 marines build at once, the RT will be done before a skulk has a chance to get halfway to your squad anyway.  Seriously.  And it doesn't take that long to stop building/knifing and pull your gun out anyway.  In fact, the only time when I can see it proper to cover is when you are setting siege up outside of a hive.

Yeah, I think you know what I hate (hopefully high-speed net will get here some day).

I resent that, 99% my ass it has to be more like 99.5%. (Theres my try at some humor today)  Anyway maybe if you didn't stereotype vets we might not act like kills are the only thing that are important.  Besides if ns vets ever want to get kills they have CS to play.

Yes, and if you happen to find an AFK marine just sitting about in a convenient corner so you don't slide off his head like a butter, then GG you get a leap kill. Be sure to save a screenshot for some silly webpage.  ;)

I hate it when I have 2 OCs going up in a choke, a marine comes around the corner, hops over while taking OC fire, chases me a few feet, kills me, then gets killed by my OCs. That means that I have to spend an extra 10 res to go gorge again when I could have used it to drop another OC somewhere or something. (yes, I'm an OC whore when I can afford it)

oh, and I also hate people who INSIST on reloading everything from their LMG to their knife before going through the phasegate where we really need another marine there... oh, and people who try to set up 'truces' early-mid game and run off into hives and dance around with gorges leaving us short another man when the teams are stacked in favor of aliens.

One more thing... I hate it when we start off with the no-comm strat which pretty much forces me to comm to give us some chance at all at a decent game. I don't like doing that... I think i've only commed 2 winning games on LM, and both were flukes or I had a good team of regs on.

Rounds starting with 3 people on each team whilst everyone else jumps around in the readyroom, when i'm comming i don't want the  5 minutes to be me reiterating my starting orders to people who are slowly but surely joining. It's hard to start a round as a comm when in the first 3 minutes the 3 aliens who bothered to join all get 50 res very very quickly and by then your 2 folks have finished building base the entire map is llamed up, fades have turned up and we stil haven't got out of base and got any nodes. Jebus people, JOIN THE ROUND PEOPLE.

ooh, actually, there is a pluggin that autoassigns people to a random team when the round starts so you can avoid that sort of crap. :D
