someone mentioned that chambers are impossible to take out with JP. this means that as long as you have JP even if your weapon is a knife, you can take out chambers. strange, and i tought that HMG could own chambers, it seems that knife and JP, do own chambers.
not to be critical or anything, but I think the NS team should balance the teams alittle bit more, being Frontiersmen sometimes is a living hell, while Kharaa isn't that hard.
I equate Gorge A and Commander to be equivalent in importance in the game. Either the primary gorge or the first commander can totally destroy a game by himself.
Now, let's compare an inexperienced commander versus an inexperienced gorge. (Assuming the inexperienced person actually wants to learn how to gorge or comm)
<Scenario A> GORGE: "Okay, what do you guys want?" ALIEN A: "Resource Towers!" ALIEN B: "Defense Chambers!"
The Gorge already has things to do, and the hunters are out having their fun screwing with the marines.
<Scenario B> COMM: "Okay, what do you guys want?" MARINE A: HMG! Shotgun! I'll go take out the hive! MARINE B: OMG! n00b comm! MARINE A: Eject the comm!
And chances are the marines just lost the game fighting over the chair.
Even though I've said on many threads I think Marines are overpowered, the commander is their fatal flaw, and as it stands on public servers right now, no one who can be comm wants to be comm, because no one wants to put up with the headaches of dealilng with whiny rambo marines who blame you for losing when they can't follow orders and build a spawn portal. It's just not fun, games are supposed to be fun, so no good commander for you. The few who are interesting in learning how to comm are not tolerated by the same said marines, who will either disrupt the game with ejection votes and ramboing, or f4ing.
Well from what I see everywhere, Marines seem to almost always win in proper organised matches, and Aliens seem to almost always win on most public servers I play on. Isn't there some way to make it more even in both ways? I know its hard, but it must be done... And yeah, I have played so many games where the game has relied on a commander in a public server and nobody actually WANTS to go comm, and don't blame me because I'm not too good at commanding on the ping I get on my 33k modem, I'm not prepared to command with everyone relying on me with a 400 ping and cl_flushing randomly. Its just so annoying, maybe something should be done to make Commanding more exciting or something, its better to have people rushing to be comm than nobody wanting to command.
i just came from a ame were after 5 minutes the 'rines got an unlimited suply of HMG's. but nevermind i'll discuss for once the problems that the last poosters posted. aliens are harder than 'rines in my opinion as marines must blindly obey, while as Kharaa you are disorganized, a gorge is nervous, the problem of any time a 'rine rearing his ugly head in that hiveroom and laughing with him cause he killed a gorge(i follow this ûp with a sentence with the word **** several times used). the fact is that a gorge is easyer than commanding, but both are easy to learn but hard to master. so in the end the commanding skills of the gorge and the commander are tested and the one with the best research/build plan and a little luck will win.
There's another topic on this same page about how the Marines are overpowered <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Now..back on topic, gorge is pretty much the equivalent (I am terrible at spelling, cut me some slack) of the marine comm. Likewise, there should be some sort of "eject gorge" command. Maybe that won't be neccesary come 1.1 since res distribution will be tweaked.....Hmm, we'll see I guess.
