Marine has a much steeper learning curve and requires more team play. However marines are more powerful than alien, in the rare 20% chance you form a good, experienced marine team.

Use your search function for one of the other 9 million balance threads. We don't need another for godsakes.

For those of us joining late in the game, the problem is this:

As of 1.03, Fades have become real end game firepower. Seriously, the Onos isn't even neccessary, once you've got two hives up it's game over. It's rare I can even get the third hive built before the marines have been removed from the game.

So what's a poor marine to do? Simple - prevent the aliens from taking two hives so they can't get fades.

This may be easier said than done, but at the same time it's not that hard. The good news for marines is that while fades may be end game firepower, the starting marine is more than a match for a skulk provided they can shoot straight and force the skulks into a position where they marines can see them coming - such as while they're securing a hive.

Unfortunately, while you may now know the rules of the game - take two hives or lose - it doesn't make the game suck any less. An alien player without two hives probably has a long masochistic wait for the marines to finish the game ahead of them. The marines up against two hives are living on borrowed time.

Here's hoping future rebalancings will improve things somewhat, both for the one hive alien and the marine facing two hives.

Y'all suck.

The game is balanced.

'nuff said.

Faking stuff like that can get you a temp ban. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'>

I'm not really saying the game is imbalanced so much as it is not balanced the way I'd prefer. It's hard to get full use out of the entire tech tree of the marines and aliens if the whole game comes down to if you can hold two hives or not.

Used to be different. It used to be about holding the resources.

No flame intended, but that is utter rubbish, the thing that loses the game for Marines when 2 hives are up is their 'we've lost lets stop trying' attitude.
If the Marines grew some and fought the Fades aggressively the 'Balance' would even out.
'Nuff said.

Supernorn · January 2003

ever heard of the saying, "if you cant beat them, join them?"

...guess not:

Be my guest. With a couple fades and an umbra-providing Lerk, I can pretty take nearly anything you throw at me.

Listen, if you look at any public server (yes, I said PUBLIC server)'s stats you should see a great deal more alien wins than marine wins.

So popularity, unusually enough, has nothing to do with it. I think people prefer playing Marines because they're fun.

Besides, I just got done saying the game was balanced - just not the way I'd prefer. I'd like to think there was more to the game than securing two hives.

Supernorn · January 2003

mm...i was just commenting on the fact that, although aliens are overpowered there are always more people willing to play marines than aliens....and if you cant beat the aliens, join them instead of telling us what everyone already knows...they do win most of the time...

geldonyetich · January 2003

I didn't say I can't beat the aliens. In fact, I told you the strategy that works against them.

However, I just think it's somewhat anticlimatic that it all comes down to two hives.

Supernorn · January 2003

yup.
bring on 1.04

Urza · January 2003

Marines can easily win with 1 hive and enough respoints ->

Try kill a fully upgraded marine squad with ha hmg/ha/gl and maybe a jp/hmg for chasing down retreating aliens
