No, i'd be like a Planetside - thingy! No one ever exactly wins since all three sides have enough member to capture one fort! It shouldn't be insane numbers like in Planetside with 700 vs. 700 though.
Damn I thought of that a while ago. I agree it would be awesome. As for the comment on that it would ruin the story....everyone evolves. As for lerks....they could become bombers!! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> I would completely support this revolution.
Oh and they could have posts which would make it easier for commanders. A commander is in charge of a 20 man unit, ther are 5 units, each with their own main outposts on the map. The aliens take one out at a time. And the commanders could have "private" channels on which to communicate amongst each other. I suppose each unit would need that as well in order to block out all of the noise.
Once again, I think this has potential of being GREAT!
I'm fairly certain this topic has been exhausted due to lack of interest <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I would think it would be feasable to make a mod with the hl2 engine somewhat like ns. Everything would have to be simple, like maps would all have generally straight paths with maybe a box or 2 sticking in the way, and ofcourse the entire map would be huge with something like 30 resource nodes. Models would become extremely low poly so your card could handle 30 + enemies + 30 plus teamates +20 buildings at one time, along with generally square and rectangular buildings with no animations. Think tribes 1 in a huge HUGE platform spaceship with 250 other players. Maybe add 1 general comm/4 platoon comms and the general would be able to split the marines into the platoons. God just thinking of it, no matter how dull the models/ map textures, it woluld still be the sexiest thing on the computer.
Seriously, that would be like a MMORPG NS-style game. It would be SO boring if you didnt have gigantic maps that were extremly atmospheric so could set up ambushes everywhere.
I dont think it would be fun and it would be totally impossible to balance. No thanks.
I was talking about this to my friend one time, and I told the that the marine's highest tech would be a huge mobile wall that just slowly moves forward, and has turret placements all over, manual seige guns and deployable anti-onos tanks. Of course the aliens would probably evolve a super lerk to fire massive spikes through the wall.. <!--emo&::lerk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/lerk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='lerk.gif' /><!--endemo-->

some random rine is building pg under hive and then commander beacon..
