<div class="IPBDescription">.. at the beginning of the game..</div> if both teams had 3-4 resource nodes, already built and right inside their base.. what would happen?
Let's say, on a map like Hera.
I'd love to see this situation played out. Maybe some map builder could modify Hera, remove all the nodes, and put 3-4 nodes inside the bases of each team. With equal resource gain, and equal team skill, who would come out on top? How do you think the game would play out?
I was about to say the Aliens would win.. but they'd have to get their other hives, while the Marines could turret all over the place, research and build everything in a snap.. so Marines would win. Am I right? right or wrong...... does this say anything about the game's balance?? My first assumption... no..... but hmmmmmm......

Ruins the game.
Bad.
Its a RTS.
Secure your own resources.
they can utilize resources in a much better way than aliens. aliens waste lots of rps by the spreading to every single player where they are seldom needed. marines on the other hand have centralized resources, and a better bang-for-the-buck (siege turrets, GLs).
