Siege guide for every hive, in all NS3.1 maps - Page 2

I would say being hard to bile is even more important than blocking fades in most scenarios, something to think about when placing sieges is how many hives are up/how soon will the hive be up.

Most locations are naturally difficult to bile. Vent hive on caged near the elevator is an example where coms often place toe sieges right in front of the elevator, but it barely helps block anything and is incredibly easy to bile. The only way marines stop the biling is rushing in to kill the gorges, and a prepared alien team can handle it. Oh how many sieges I have seen fail there.

In most spaces to fit 5 sieges in there your probably going to need to be closer to the hive anyways.

Alpha is something I'd like to touch on as far as seiging goes. Everyone and their mom thinks that you HAVE to weld into Alpha, when in all actuality, it's easier to seige from Continuim... MUCH easier in my opinion.

Is there a place where I can download high res detailed overviews of maps?
I used to have some and the are really good for this purpose.

There's a handful at w ww.ns.jolt.co.uk/index.php?page=maps.html but I'm sure they aren't the current versions
