    I think that would equal some serious imbalance and would be a terrible idea

    So, in other words make an invincible team for everyone to try to join, then leave when they can't
    Nope, sorry
    And its not going in for reasons in the HL engine.
    It would also disrupt all current maps, and the general storyline

    There is not enough reserve slots for weapons for another race of characters. Sorry. Besides - imagine the people complaining about BALANCE.......... headache <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::fade::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/fade.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='fade.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Couple things.
    First, update your typing style to include capitalization and punctuation.
    Second, be more specific if you have an idea you want an opinion about. It's also a good idea not to have an idea ripped straight from another game/movie.

    but the predators would be on a number of maps not on all the maps some maps aliens vs predator and on some maps marines vs predator

    Another thing, this is a suggestion, which even though it's covered by the FAQ (which you would probably ignore anyway) should have been put in the <b>Suggestion and Ideas</b> forum.

    Couple things:

    I really dislike it when others say there will never be a 3rd race because of weapon limits. That crap simply is not true. You can have maps where you only load up two races at a time, but there are 3 races in total. Get it?


    Anyhow, I saw a long long time ago a post regarding a new race called the cyborgs, it was in the S&I forum, and Flay actually commented on it, saying it was a cool and fun idea. So a thrid race has already been thought of, and if it were to ever be done Flay's way ahead of us all, simply because it's his game.


    This thread should probably locked now.

    Sorry, no. And "two teams per map" won't fix the 32-weapon limit, which is a mod code limitation, not a map limitation.

    Anyway, it's been discussed many times, and ought to stay in the S&I forum.
