im just wondering, how will marine vs marine work? theres no hives to take over and kill so what do we do? simply get to nme base as quick as possible and seige outside there base to keeeel it? hmmm seems shoddy to me cus both teams will just rush to nme base and build tf + seige and win :/

Alien Vs. Alien would be soooooo cool... Skulk fighting!!!! <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo-->
The team that wins is based on the speed of the commander/skill of the marines
Games will be balanced, as both sides will have exactly the same, those that rambo against a good team will get annihilated, with turrets/sieges prooving a useful deterant as they currently are.
just a suggestion
and Marine vs Marine wouldnt be like CS
It's not, however I think I saw flayra mention marine v marine WILL be introduced...
Supposedly it might be introduced in v1.1
And like all the things that make it NS not CS.
I mean the only way it would be like CS would be that its a HL mod with men with guns shooting at each other.
Oh NO! It'll be too much like FA! And, well <b>EVERY OTHER MULTIPLAYER HL MOD IN EXISTANCE</b> *sigh*
wtf would it be like CS?
BlueGhost
Sounds like a scenario where the 1st group of marines rush the enemy, hopefully killing the others side in a bunny hopping frenzy of pistol whipping lmg showdown. Then knifing of spawn portals.
IMO, marine vs marine would definately be a retarded way of playing, not only will it not be realistic (due to lmg damage to balance against skulks/fades), jumping will just ruin the game.
Marine vs marine will be the end of NS.
Alien vs Alien is known as KnifeArena.

What a load of rubbish.
Why does change have to be the END of NS? If they do decide to let use have marine vs marine or alien vs alien, it will just add to the game!
You can still have aliens vs marines, its not going to disapear ! I mean come on people, think please.
I cant see people stoping playing NS because a new feature has been added, only thing i can see it doing is bringing more people to the game.
Well, please explain how on earth marines vs marines is going to be the death of NS. Which IMHO will never happen. How can it? If there is at least one server running NS, then its still alive.
Mairnes vs Marines and Aliens vs Aliens Will be a GREAT adition to the mods, can just imagine a map with 6 hives, each alien team takes 3..........

Would be so much fun to watch/do.
And also early game would be very funny, imagine cloaked skulks ambushing lone skulks with lvl3 carapace - messy and interesting!
And then we have Marines vs Marines, say 3 double resource nodes and a good spread of other rps.
OMG - this will just be a laugh
2 HA HMGs going toe to toe <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Then there is the whole "squad" of people going and gren spam/HMG the other people outposts!
Wow, can't wait for those things!
Aliens VS aliens will be fun as well.
for gods sake, anyone who thinks this or that will be the "end of NS!!!11oneone" needs to take off their foil pyramid hat ...

Personally, I'm anticipating Marines v Marines and Aliens v Aliens with extreme hopefullness. (That doesn't make sense now, does it.)
I don't think it will be like AVP2 or CS, simply because NS is, overall, a strategy game with a first person perspective. Not CS with a commander.
Yeah, I think siege would need to be totally reworked for marines v marines. But it would still be very fun.
Aliens v Aliens should be even more fun. Imagine dogfighting lerks! Skulk v Skulk! Gorges healing eachother to death! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> In fact, late game lerk spore spamming might not be such a large problem because hives spawn all over the place. In theory, skulks may even stand a chance against onos because they can climb all over walls and things, and jump on onos back and munch munch <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Oh, maybe onos paralyze on skulks activates falldamage? So if you're onos, you see a skulk climbing on a roof far above you, you line up paralyze and it falls to death <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Oh, and for freaks of horrors, imagine two enemy fades blinking into eachother!
And for marines, JP v JP would be incredibly fun too. Two airborne shotties circling eachother, maybe one trying to weld the other <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->.
Basically, Starcraft isn't ruined just because you can pit TvT or ZvZ or PvP, and why should NS?
Edit: Lerk vs Onos may need to be completely redone, too. As in, a single lerk hidden in the rafters can spike an onos to death, wheras the onos can't do anything except paralyze it.
Try not to turn this into a flame, I enjoyed reading some of the earlier posts, but none of the later ones <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
Marine v. Marine will still be alot more complex than TFC and CS, tactics will be, it'll be designed so a mass rush at the start will lead to the defenders advantage (with turrets/spawn right into battle when they die)
Turrets will act as a deterant to defend zones, with phase gates and so on allowing support from around the map for your team, sure, the enemy team will take them down, obviously not to quick however.
But in all seriousness, I think the regular Marine vs Alien game should be balanced first before Flay begins work on a Marine v Marine or Alien v Alien gamemode.
Kharaa vs Kharaa .... I can see it happening, but it would be very chaotic. There'd be far more strategy in MvM than normal, and far less strategy in AvA than normal. It would be kinda fun, but probably not as good. IMHO.
Start your own server, turn on freindly fire, and shoot each other.
The bullets only do 33% damage to marines, so it took a nice amount of bullets to take each other out, It was mad fun.
Though Commander on Commander would be funny to c.
would be siegefest 2003 aswell i rekon as how would u destroy turrets?

stop shooting your mate.
Yep, sounds great. Turrets will be useless so who cares....rambo galore as one bunny hopping dodges around gunning down many, uber pistol shot speeds and lmg 50 bullets.
Man, I sure can't wait till marine vs. marine.
<!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> vs. <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> should definately replace <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> vs <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> . Just because this alien vs marine requires teamwork, and teamwork is lame. Marine vs Marine, spawn camping from a distance, obsolete turrets..oh yeah, fun.
And 5 weapons to fight one another, haha worthless mines; hmg, dont make me laugh, I pistol you from a distance.
Marine vs Marine won't kill NS, it'll be as fun as "escape" from counterstrike (remember thoughs?).
As a matter of fact, lets just put in NS_Iceworld. With 5 nodes in marine start, and 5 nodes in kharaa start and 2 hives, and just duke it out. Sounds awesome, now we don't have to use teamwork at all and just deathmatch.
Pro: Fits into the NS universe, whereas "Marine vs Marine" does not, IMHO. The background story is so well written it would be a shame to introduce a new gamestyle that has nothing to do with it. My way, the saga can continue "...2 years after the initial alien encounter onboard USS Nancy, the Frontiersmen found themselves facing a new enemy [...] While still fighting the Kharaa infestation on numerous battlegrounds, yet others saw them forced to engage the enemy within."
Pro: The "Weyland-Yutani" team has a technology of its own, new weapons etc. Having 2 teams with different abilities fighting eachother is one of NS´s strong points, and what makes it so unique in FPS. For example, the corporate army could have developed more non-hitscan weapons, some unique cloaking and sonic warfare...feck, give´em some PHASERS!
Pro (?) : Three-way battles on the same map. Could make for some interesting allies, no? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Of course, there could also be strict human-on-human games.
Con: Lots and lots of hard work.
