<div class="IPBDescription">to bite or to shoot</div> Somebody's gotta ask the question one day. What race do you prefer playing more? personally I like Kharaa just because "I'm so gooood at it." I love rushing into rine base getting more then half of the team's kills and having someone say "WOW" <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->.

Besides... it's a break from all the 2.0 threads don't you think?

    Im not quite sure overall id say the marines as im so used to crosshairs for my weapons unlike bite, get that from playing CS for 3 years and Tribes2.

    Altho i am starting to like the aliens alot more lerk most of all ("£$"$"£$ gonna miss the bite), not a very big fan of fade as it seems to be the right size for them evil CS players to shoot me lol altho celerity helps.

    All in all id say i play each side 50:50 altho im a better marine then an alien well sometimes anyway depends what my mood is.

    I enjoy aliens more. As a marine, you constantly have to worry about getting at all damaged, as getting health wastes resources. You also have poor mobility, need to reload, and other small pains. As an alien, you just find a hive, gorge, or defense chamber when you need healing. No worries about ammo, you just sit back and watch your energy go back up. Aliens are also far more mobile, as they move quickly, can easily use vents, and later get movement chambers to warp across the map. For me, it's just less stressful as an alien.

    Aliens all the way, marines are just so boring, fly around the room with a jp/hmg and shoot the hive, ooo wow, or sit there as ha/hmg and aim at the hive, turning you're aim only to chew up skulks in 2 seconds. And when you finally kill that last hive its just <beep....beep...*death message*" Team one wins!">. With aliens you accually need teamwork to win, and after the IPs are gone, all you have to do is finish off the CC and find that last hiding marine, hoping he dosen't have an HMG and he kills you before you kill him. Plus lerks are fun <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->. Oh and lets not forget the hidden scorpian that hovars without flapping...

    You might not know it... but

    there's a secret inside all official maps that allows you to play as the scorpion that hovars without flapping. I'm serious. You have to get like a 1000:1 kill:death ratio before it can be found... i tried it with bots. and it was so cool. The scorpion has like these sting shot things and like claws that kill marines in one shot.. and like

    Not.

    ALMOST everyone claims that their favorite team is Kharaa, but why do we always see the marine door stacked so bad?

    If people played less selfishly, with teamwork involved, id love both the sides equally and the same, At the moment i only just like each side equally and the same <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I usually go thro the random door, and find unlike most who say "hawr hawr, teh random door, like might aswell be another aliens door" i get 50/50 randomisation.

    I find marines easier throughout, however i enjoy aliens because it is difficult, and seriously, only on the most nub servers does the initial skulk rush work.

    Kharaa. It's completely different gameplay to anything else I play and I love it.

    Kharaa, not because "I'm so gooood at it." (modesty is a virtue (hint)), but because I suck at marines. I just CAN'T hit the critters. Skulks are too fast. Can't hit 'em. And marines is still just "run & gun", it feels too much like every other fps out there. Unless something REALLY radical is done to marines (God forbid), that won't really change. So I'll stick with the Kharaa, being an alien bristling with claw and fang is just too darned fun.

    Edit: What a Godly post. Postcount 777!

    Marines! Mainly because the marines have the advantage when it comes to range. I'm also a pretty good shot with the pistol at close range so I'll come out on top (usually). You also don't lose all your upgrades you die.

    Marines all the way.

    They remind me of Terrans in StarcCraft and Terrans were just way cool. Remember - (StarCraft, not BroodWar - this is before the horrible overbalanced days of the mindcontrolling Protoss)

    Also, its great fun hunting down a gorge. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    being a good marine makes you a better alien, and vice verca, know your enemy or somthing along those lines...

    i prefer alien myself, they are WAY more stylish, and you gotta have style.
    plus i always prefered melee over range from way back, medic in TFC, vampires in VS etc...

    Definatly Kharaa.

    I'm not too bad of a skulk, and I enjoy lerking, fading, and gorging. I don't enjoying onosing as it almost never happens.

    Even when I play rine, I silently cheer in my mind as a umbra enabled lerk and a flood of desperate skulks annilate our seige and turret farm from killing their second hive in feedwater on bast.

    It's funny how the aliens is where you find the most teamwork. Like coordinating when all the skulks will rush into cargo on ns_tanith because one skulk will be ripped to shreads.

    I'm looking forward to 2.0 where the aliens are looking to be the dominate species. They're supposed to be stronger than the marines. I remember playing this game on halloween and being so scared of kamikaze dogs that go bump in the night. Not anymore as skulks are no match to hot shot marines.


    So close to 2.0. The hivemind awaits eagarly.
