If Aliens can get 3 hives in 15 minutes... THE MARINES SUCKED. Stop whining, get a better Commander, Question.
And the only way to even get two-hive in under ten minutes is for the aliens to recycle themselves with the ready-room bug, which has been deemed an EXPLOIT by the dev team. OR you had intelligent Aliens, who only had one Gorge. Which just makes the Marines' job tougher... it doesn't make it impossible. You just have to be <b>as</b> good with your teamwork, and have an intelligent Comm to do it. If you have a moron who wastes RP on HMGs before you have HA or upgrade your weapons/armor at an Arms Lab, you *deserve* to lose. If your Comm gets up an Experimental Lab before he gets an Observatory, you DESERVE to lose. If you have a Commander who turtles in the base instead of locking down that third hive right after getting up a few Sentry Turrets... YOU DESERVE TO LOSE.
Get a better commander, again. Hey, there's a LIST of them here on the forums.

The commander didn't lose his head, the marines kept fighting well, we didn't try rushing the hive itself but just took a nearby room with few defenses and sieged a hive to death in a few minutes. Not long after that, a second hive went down. I had to leave the server (not game related, it was getting late) so I don't know how it ended, but the aliens got from three to one hive in a very short time. Maybe the aliens can get hives quickly, but they lose them quickly too if they're not careful.
