The closer the marines are to winning, 1) The larger the front they are protecting, and 2) The larger the gap between their tech level and the aliens'.
The first means the marines will frequently get distracted defending any of 4-6 "hot spots" on the map from pestering skulks and lerks. The second means the marines get cocky and complacent. Lesson to you all: it ain't over till the fat gorge sings - don't lose focus until you hear the countdown.

Then i played another where comm just gave out ha.hmg and didnt worry about nades and we had 2 hives... Both games we held 2 hives for 45 frikkin minutes and no one could end it.. As i type this i remember the nuke.. Well please add something like this in the future. Something that cost a lot of res because both times we had 400 RES! ARgh i hate ns but i keep playing it!
give marines a game ender like aliens have onos! <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> I've been in games where the aliens have 2 hives and fading the hell out of any unluck marine who happens to cross them and with a few JP's, GL's and HMG's we were about to turn the tide, granted it was a long battle but seriously, if you are at the top of your tech tree and can't neuter a few skulks then either your who team is ramboing or just not quit sure of what to do.
Now come on, give us a freakin Gatling gun! Be it at a cost of 250 res or whatever, but I WANT A GATLING WAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo-->
