Marine Multiplayer Strategies Simply put, watch your back. Both the Alien and the Predator classes are hell-bent on attacking you from behind. The player that moves through the level by seldom turning around is mere seconds away from having a tombstone erected in his honor. Stay the heck out of large rooms and barricade yourself in small chambers, waiting for the enemy to come to you instead of the other way around. Constantly check behind on the ceiling and in the dark corners when you enter a room for the first time. Though the pulse rifle, the Marine's default weapon, is often good enough to take out the enemy players, you're still going to want more powerful equipment. Memorize the location of the better weapons, such as the SADAR and minigun, on the map and return to them when you're ammunition has run dry. But as mentioned in the Alien and Predator tactics, these classes will likely be staking out these areas. Proceed with caution at all times and use your image intensifier to search dark corners; the Marine can't afford to be surprised at every turn. In team games, it's safety in numbers; if you have several Marines on a map then you should all be working together and protecting each other. Work as a squad, with one person as point man, another watching the sides, and another monitoring the rear. A well-tuned squad stands a great chance of thwarting any surprise attack; just be careful not to kill each other in the ensuing fray!
