User:Misterrobot/Zerg Infestation

Zerg Infestation is a popular Warcraft 3 custom game. It was originally created by IHATEHIPPIES. The most recent incarnation of the game, Zerg Infestation: Legacy, was created by Karmine. In the game there are two teams: the secret zerg and everyone else, plus the zerg NPCs. The secret zerg must find a way to kill all the other players to win the game and the terrans have to kill the zerg to win. There are 3 ranks the player can be, NCO, Warrant Officer, and Captain. NCOs are the lowest rank and are restricted from many areas of the base. Next up is the WO's who have access to special areas of the base which contain many useful items such as c4. Then there is the captain who can access the captain's quarters which contains the controls for the turret guns which can target any player he chooses, and he gets control of the sentry cameras allowing him to see most of the map (players can kill the cameras, however). When a player dies they drop their rank and other players may pick it up and assume the rank.

Hero Choices
There are many hero choices the player may choose. The most popular is probably marine, who has a high DPS and can stun players and keep them there, as well as being able to summon mini-marines. Second is the ghost, the ghost has the power to turn invisible, note that any player who chooses ghost is often immediately considered a suspect of being the zerg. Third is the firebat, who can inflict high damage in the right situation with his oil and fire spells.

Tactics
Zerg Infestation is a very complex game with many different possible strategies for both terrans and the zerg. An effective (but very risky) tactic for the zerg is to c4 the captain's doors, kill him, and set the turrets on all other players. This is very risky because players are alerted when a c4 is set off and may rush to check the captain's hall. Another more discreet tactic is to open the zerg caves one by one while trying to avoid being noticed, having opened them all the base will be overrun by so many zergs that it will eventually fall if the zerg is not killed.
