Oooh controversial?
In my opinion i have far more fun in public servers than clan matches. Well most the time.
This is because clan matches are always the same - as marines you jetpack hmg rush and win, as aliens you either get jetpack hmg rushed and lose, or rush their base and win with skulks. Very rare that a second hive goes up (if its a skilled clan vs skilled clan)
With public servers you get the unexpected - the commander who builds a tfac at base, the gorge who builds an offence chamber to protect his rt.
A lot of people hate playing with newbies - I disagree. At least if you hav only newbies on a server you wont get the common clan stacking - where all the newbies run to the marines and camp the door , so all the good players go alien. I find that servers with 2-3 experienced and the rest pretty newbie can be the most fun to play on.
Having said that, the most memorable games ive had were on a public server where every single player was skilled and experienced.
So i was just wandering - does anyone else prefer public servers , or is it just me?

its a no brainer that you will have fun in both clan and public games, but the determination and means to win a game are different for both styles. No need to argue or squabble <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
yea also in scrims there is this "stacking" they all go to the same team for some reason... duno why that is
I find clan matches more fun however becuase of the extreem teamwork on both sides, and not having to boot n00b comms or spend 3 minuts explaining how the res model works, and why having 5 gorgs is bad.
and ur like the 16 yr old who thinks the bar scene is having a real life and the rest dont have one...
I can see why some would think the co ordination and teamwork of a clan match is more fun pubbies.
Does anyone think patch 1.1 would make the clan scene more enjoyable than it already is?
on that note,

If it doesn't the clan scene dies.
I think that was the point of the post, and that makes me think this thread should never have existed if its content is idictive of cousing anger. Why must we discuss what games are more fun. Every style of playing is fun in its own right.
Thread wasnt actually created to anger - i was just trying to see if anyone else felt the same.
I suppose sej is right, a difference in opinion should not cause argument or anger. But these forums are in no way a sensible place, and neither are the majority of NS fans. I can imagine this topic escalating into another argument between some ignorant pubbers and some hot-headed clan members (Not making generalisations about either group, but you of course have to admit that those sort of people do exist) and would hope that any further posters have the courtesy to respect everyone elses opinions.
I myself prefer pub games, just because I lack the skill and willingness to compete that are necessary in clan matches.
A confession that Boz is truly the sax! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
I kind of agree with Boz, just the thing is that I've never gotten the chance to play a clan match. Not to say I don't think I'm good enough to get in a clan, just the only clan I've ever been in was pretty inactive.
Fact is pubbers have no clue what its like to play with a TEAM. Organizing a skulk ambush really gets your adrenaline going. It's not just "ok everyone go in now!" You have a guy that tells everyone where to go and when to start attacking etc, etc. It's very rare you see this on a pub. Sure pubbing is more fun for people who just pub, but once you're in a competitive clan you can't go back. The only fun i have in pubs now is the beginning of the game when uncarapaced skulks run straight at me. But then they get cara and i have no weapon upgrades cuz the cash was spent on turrets (which also suck because of no weapon upgrades). I'm not leet enough to take on 3 lvl 3 caraed skulks by myself <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
