<div class="IPBDescription">NS is perfectlly ballanced.</div> When the teams are even all through the game and your Alien team knows a little bit what to do and communicate about who will build and who will stalk, the Kharaa is defenetly a force not to be taken lightly.

Whe had three gorges, one for every hive smacking up layers of OC and DC and webs allover town, and soon enough we were raining acid upon the marines heads like God almighty were taking a yellow dehydrated piss.

HaHaHa... Doom Doom Dooooom, for the marines. And now you might say, well of course, the marines must have had a complete twat of a commander. To our surprise though, back in the readyroom, the marines thanked us for the game of their life so far. They had been scared out of their minds and their commander had been using commandmode frequently since the relese, so he knew how to run things.

Later that night i played marine. we had some trouble with nobody wanting to take charge. I sure as hell didnt, commanding scares the sit out of me (responsability... Arghhhh) ehh... anyway... Aliens started charging us left, right and center. This is it i thought. But somehow we manadged to break throug at one of the hives.. luckily, it was one containing all their Sensory towers, so now they cant cloak anymore. Good. After some intense struggling back and forth we manage to get the upper hand... Sad thing is, when the Aliens were down to their last hive, players started team jumping like rats from a sinking ship... too bad really.. they might have been able to fight back because they still had Defence upgrades all over, wich IMO is the most iportant one..

So there... Long story, and maby you heard it already by now.. The Aliens are defenetly quite capable warriors even though at first they seem a bit underpowerd.

Some developer said "Give it a month and they'll be back complaining the marines can never win"

I say " Marines, your number is already up"

Thanks for reading...

    I totally agree.

    The sheer pleasure of good Alien teamwork with fair team balance resulting in victory is the reason i love this mod.

    It´s not unbalanced IMO.

    Great achievement and cheers to the developers! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    For whatever reason you want to add here (******) my take on the situation is that atm marines are to good in the game. So easy to play that Iv got plain bored of them after 3 tries of them that I never play them any more.

    I mean after playing aliens so much and then trying marines and finding how easy it was to win I couldnt believe it. But thats just my take on it....

    Yeah last night i played a really good server were the resource thing was right.
    I played aliens and first 2 games we did a skulk rush and won.
    The 3rd game took 1h 21m to get the marines to die. I have no clue why people are complaining about how much its unfair.

    I just pray that the next patch only fixes things and not screw them up.

    I have faith in the NS team. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The reason some find it balanced and some not all depends on how many players there are on the teams. A 4v4 is very tough for the marines. 12v12 is impossible to win for the aliens. The sweet spot is 6v6, IMO.

    The reason is that the marines multiply their resources by number of marines on the team. A 12 marine team can be equipped with HMG's before the Kharaa has even started to build their first resource tower.

    95% of the time my team win's no matter what race I choose. [brag]Hmmm...could it have something to do with the fact that I'm on the team <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> [/brag] I find it very well balanced, even before the resource fix.
