Some basic tips I've learned since the game came out. Some are common sense for shooters, but good to keep in mind.
Marines:
1. Marines to spread out. Don't clump on top of each other, easier to shoot skulks off each other and harder for skulks to take you out with random biting.
2. Turn off your flashlight if you are in a lit area. The beams tend to blind your teammates.
3. If you know there's a skulk ahead of you, hold Ctrl to sneak up on them. The walking/running noise is a dead giveaway.
4. When making sentry turrets, make sure each one can fire on at least another sentry or the battery. They only have 180 degree turn radius.
5. Welders are the best cyst killers without getting Advanced Armory.
6. Shotgun+Jetpack = more OP than Exos.
Aliens:
1. Skulks get a speed boost when jumping off a wall, so use that to your advantage. Never stop jumping. Pretend you're Mario.
2. Hold shift to sneak around as Skulk, never run at marines in a straight line, use the ceilings.
3. If you aren't good at Skulking, go Gorge. His right click heals HP and armor, speed up building process, does damage. 2 or 3 gorges hopping around each other while spamming heal can take down marines... just a bit slow.
4. Use their ball sacks to block key positions, or even to funnel marines into kill zones.
5. Hydras autobuild on infestation, but needs healing breath without it.
6. Most important tip, you have to RE-evolve your upgrades (celerity, carapace, etc) each time you spawn.
