I dunno if anyone has actually played this seriously yet but on the LAN here at uni we just had a 8 vs 8 game (yeah, we're sad - it's Friday night and we're playing games 
). I'll go out tomoz and Sunday to make up for it...
NS is great fun - been ages since I've played an online game since CS and thought - "HEY! This actually DOES rock!"
Funniest moment for me was edging down this really dark corridor with two other marines probing the alien hive, killing the occasional alien turret or scavenger alien (dunno the name of it) when we hear this heavy breathing behind us. We turn round and are confronted by this huge mofo that can hardly fit into the corridor itself.
What followed was one of the funniest and most intense pieces of gaming I've ever encountered as the three of us frantically tried to escape back to our main base. Coms was hilarious - things like... "Don't look back!" "RUN! RUN! It's right behind us!" "My gun's doing fuck all to it! FUCK FUCK FUCK!" "YOU DID NOT JUST FIRE THAT GREEN SHIT AT ME!" "Shit, I'm out of ammo, I need ammo!" "Frazle, get us the fuck out of here!" "We need help, HELP! HELP!!!!" "Where the fuck is the next waypoint?!" etc...
We finally got out of the hive only for one guy to decide to try and be THE hero... Oh, he got well and truly squished. So much for sacrifice and valour... I think he managed to hit it with one clip then we saw his body flying past us.
So it's me and this other marine, running as fast as we can. You can only run fast if you drop weapons by the way... so... we drop our light machine guns and pull out our pistols. Out of no-where jumps out another alien player, some vicious bastard who'd got the invisibility/blink ability and starts ripping apart the other marine. I stop for a second... hmmm - should I try and save him? Big thing comes round corner... "Ah fuck it, I'm off!"
I carry on running... On coms I hear... "You coward! Fucking get back here and help m..." he dies and so coms gets cut off to those who're dead (you respawn every minute or so) or spectating in the game.
Turn a corner... something whacks me. I fly forward. Big thing has caught up with me finally. Only 20 metres to the waypoint my commander has told me to get to - 20 metres where 12 turrets and two marines packing heavy armour and heavy machine guns will save my arse. Something hits me again, crap, I've fallen down a duct. I'm now 40 metres and on the level below from where I'm supposed to get to... Oh well... at least big alien juggernaut can't get me... can it?
I hear the elevator doors open behind me...
I turn and start to fire my pistol at the big PINK ORANGE THING that's been chasing me for half a map. HOW THE FUCK DOES A BIG PINK ORANGE THINGY USE AN ELEVATOR? Who knows...
Click - click.
CLICK. CLICK.
Player who was the big alien: "rofl - anyway, that gun does fuck all to me..."
Me: "Oh fuck off and go to hell."
Squished.
