<div class="IPBDescription">Another balance thread!?!?!?!?!?!?!</div>Something people haven't really noticed on this balance issue is the fact that marines need a commander to build stuff and to really co-ordinate. People that play marines also EXPECT to have a command tell them what to do!!!
Aliens can expand MUCH easier and MUCH faster than marines in the beginning of the game. EG 4v4 game- 4=gorges=4 guys building stuff independantly!!
Additionally the fact that the gorges gain resources only for themselves helps a lot! It's not a pool of $ like the marines.
The strength of the aliens is their independance, sure they have to work together, but not in the way that marines need a commander.
The way to win the game is really the securing of resources! AND how resource points are used!!!- I guess that's where the strategy part of the game comes into play <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->
I think this game is fairly balanced and before the developers go changing anything, give it some more time!!
