classic-this is the type of game where you get a commander that gives you things to do and aliens can build things

combat-this is the type of game where you dont get a commander but you still need to destroy the hive or cc in order to win

for aliens you can get as many upg as you want when in comabt you can get adrenaline and celerity but you dont have to you are only limited to one in classic maps

Command Center-also known as CC this is the base of operations in normal "classic" games this is teh primary building you must save. in combat maps if this building goes then the game ends also. the commander enters this in classic maps only and gives you buildings to upgrade in classic this is the marine version of the aliens hive

hive-alien version of cc no commander but in order to build things you have to go gorge

armory-this gives marines ammo and heals them if they use it long enough

resource tower-gives you resources available in classic maps only

IMPORTANT aliens dont have ammo that they need restored by an armory tehy have stamina that replenishes itself

spawn camping-staying in the opposing teams spawn NOT attacking any of the buildings i.e. the cc or armory

attacking base-mainly confused with spawn campings this IS attacking the base ie armory or cc while having ppl cover you or you attacking ppl when they spawn...this is a part of the game so if this is happening shut up and deal wit it

nade spam-this is when you use the gl and fire randomly in places not knowing if there is anyone there just hoping to kill something

nading-also know as carpet bombing(was in a server where a guy called it that...ie me

) this is where you shot in a place with the gl when you KNOW there is something there

celerity-permantly increases your speed...makes you move faster

adrenaline-increases your stamina recovery rate

silence-makes you harder to hear when you walk or run

scent of fear-make it so you can see where the marines are shows marines as red dots...it is kinda the equivalent to the marines motion tracking

focus-increase the dmg of your first weapon but reduces your speed on it...makes it so you cant attack as fast but greatly more damage is dealt when you deal it

cloaking-when walking or standing still you can cloak...doesnt work when running

skulk- bite, parasite, leap, xenocide: this is the basic unit for the aliens its quick and agile but extremely weak

bite- preatty muchs says it right there

parasite-shots out a parasite that lets you see where the target that you shot it and will be until it is killed(works on marines and marine buildings) does little dmg

leap-this attack lets you leap at teh target doing a small amount of dmg

xenocide- where teh skulk explodes itself and does dmg and pushed marines away at the same time (large field of dmg)

gorge- spit, health spray, bile bomb, web: this is the aliens building units you can build any structure wit this unit

spit- shots a green blob of what i like to call snot(also called snotball)

health spray-heals aliens and builds and hamrs marines and marine buildings

bile bomb-an attack that dmgs buildings only

web-this isnt an attack that dmgs what this does is you shot in one direction then shot again in another direct and a white "web" appears connecting the 2 points you shot and any marnie caught in this "web" becomes stalled...great for stopping an enemy

lerk- bite, spores, umbra, primal scream: this is the aliens flying unit great support unit

bite-same as skulk you bite your target

spores- shots out a green cloud that dmges any marnie that doesnt have heavy armor

umbra- this is another spore attack but this doesnt dmg marines this on the other fact this slows down the dmg you take when your in the umbra cloud it will not STOP the dmg but it will make you last longer under attack when being shot...wont work with grenade launchers

primal scream-this will make any unit near you move and attack faster..also makes you move and attack faster

fade- swipe, blink, metamorphis, acid rocket: this is the aliens attack unit

swipe-this is the primary attack you "swipe your target with both claws

blink-the manual says “instant teleportation" but thats a lie seeing as how you can still take dmg when blinking and can be seen moving but it is very fast none the less

metamorphis-you can drain your stamina to regain your hp and armor

acid rocket-you shot out a ball of acid that damages anyting it comes into contact...including you

onos- gore, devour, stomp, charge: this is the power house of the kharaa...aka aliens. this is the alien ppl would say is large and in charge

gore-primary attack you take your horn and gore the marine

devour-you eat the marine with this attack you eat and digest teh marine but it isnt instantaneous also while eating the marine you gain hp and armor

stomp-you stun your enemies wit this attack...can even kill them though dont stand there and do that cause they do become unstuned

charge-you rush your enemy doing dmg to them...this lasts until you run out of stamina

Marine units

standard-this is the marine you start off with at the begining of teh game

Jetpacker-this unit has teh jetpack on...also known as teh jper

Heavy Armor-this unit has the Heaviest armor. this armor makes the marine uneffected by spore attacks...also known as a heavy...also if a heavy doesnt have any armor left it can be spored but even if it has a little armor the spores dont effect it

oh and BTW to bring up your menu in game it is right click this is hwo you get your upgrades in combat and in classic it has its other uses like ejecting a commander and chating over the radio with everyone...liek taunt or in teh aliens cause this is how you get your upgrades in combat and how you build and upg in classic

Nice work Speaker. Though in NS, noobs and newbies are two different things

(I would much rather have a server full of newbies who are willing to learn than an full one of egotisital noobs who know all)
