Marines Pwnz Aliens Since Day1

DSSG_Nitro

<div class="IPBDescription">huh!?</div> I joined this forum in december 2002, Just to post that Marines were much stronger then aliens, and then, I was flammed by 20484933 people saying that all the servers they were playing on the Aliens were winning, <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

yeah right u <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->

took a coupld of months for those <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo--> to realise that one marine on version 1.0, 1.03, 1.04 could pwn a whole aliens team.

On new versions, 2.0 its much better, I guess its because experienced NS players were soo forced to play as a team on previous versions, that it gave the impression that now Aliens are overpowered.

Im not too sure about that, so far Iv saw many, many, many games lasting 2 hours or more when the marines had time to upgrade weapons and armors, and turret farm their base.

Onos and Fades are by far too weak to compete vs fully upgraded heavies camping a base.

Im not saying its stilll very unbalanced, its much better then previous versions, some small changes might make it a lil better, for i.e. FADES could be as strong as they use to be on previous versions. Right now a fade dies in 2 seconds, and his special wepaon is all about running away <span style='color:white'>watch your mouth.</span>

I can't take anymore of these threads... It's like being stuck in a Timeloop!

I don't agree with your reasoning for why marines are better, but I think I do agree that in a 10v10 pub marines are much better with a good commander.

I play on nitro's server all the time, and I see aliens get pwned on a regular basis

What server mod does it run?

Nitro in 1.04 it was widely acknowledged that marines where much too powerful and took some extreme skill and luck on the alien side to beat good marines. That being said looking at server numbers for the servers I played at (which for all intents and purposes where average to above average skill wise) Aliens still won twice as much as marines. But it was entirely due to lack of skill, because marine imbalance in 1.04 still required a comm that new how to perform a strategy and at least one really good marine on his team.
The balance is much much closer now but I do think the current advatage is to the aliens. Once early alien game expansion is dealt with, either in tactics or in patched versions, then you will see a very balanced game.

I commed 3 marine wins yesterday out of 4. The one I lost was because I was trying to set up a siege turret in a bad place... :/
