    If the marine is the standard player size in Half Life, then he is 72 game units tall.  

    72 * 1.33 = *punches numbers into calculator*

    It equals about 96 units tall, in case you need to use this in a map.

    Let me clear a few things up:

     1. No vehicles in NS.  They wouldn't work well in our indoor environments, they're a lot of work to code, and they don't fit the theme of the game.

     2. The biggest alien is no longer 1.3 times the size of a marine, but is 64x64x108.  A regular Half-life player is 32x32x72, so he's 1.5 times the height of a marine and twice the width and length.  This may change a bit as well, and his model will probably not be the exact same size as these dimensions.

     3. Weldables can be broken open again.  The mapper can specify how much damage it requires to be opened.  When this happens, the weldable can't be shut again, though this hasn't been implemented yet.

    well id just stand my ground and fight til i die instead of running cuz i gotta gun and im not afraid to use it oh yeah and a knfe to but i dont think it would be cool if the marines just keep running from you when your on alien side because everyone runs and shoots instead of standing there ground and fight

    yeah but the maps are designed to be very tight besides i would like a good hunt or 2 when im on the alien side. You can trap those marines so easily when they always run, if the aliens split up in 2 groups one groups attacks them in fornt, while the other group uses the shafts to get them in the back.

    the only problem with standing your ground is youll get nailed in the back by the other force you werent expecting....

    I know it's already be answered, but then the NS team would get blamed for copying Halo, which is bull, I know... or, would be bull.

    What's HALO? Don't know that game, maybe it's released under another name in europe?

    Halo is a (relatively) new game, but to my knowledge, it hasn't been released for PC yet.  Right now it's console-only.

    X-Box sux0rs.  It's only good game is Halo.  Gamecube is where its at, my brothers.  Nothing beats a good game of Smash Brothers.  And the Star Wars game is kickin.

    Ehem, Playstation will own forevar. Although Game Cube does have some good games, like Rogue Squadron 2 and Smash Bros. Melee.
