Aliens ALWAYS win, so I'm playing less and less, just for the ambience if you know what I mean. Maybe once every week nowadays.
This game is getting old so fast.
And yes I suck as a marine, as almost everybody does. Get the point?

True fully I find at the moment about 1 out of three games marines win
<b> Disclaimer </b> this only goes by only my playing experience (don't have access to any real statistics)
I played 5 games tonight, and the marines won every single game. Of course two of them they deserved to win because the aliens were just playing stupidly, but the other three were hard-fought battles.

Words of a ignarant little boy.
it must be a bug with the game because I'm the best....
Ok, I stop playing..."
Don't u think thath NS is just has just so many possibilities that everybody need time to be good ?
U won't do anything in your life if u stop at the first trouble <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I know you meant that in a nice way(well I think so anyway) but in most cases comments pisses people off much more than they help. On the other hand what do I know, maybe that was the intention.
Think about it yourself, if you complain about something and someone says something like that, dont you get murderous feelings?
You'll be missed, sir.
(mmm can you just feel the sarcasm?)
Learn the game and the balance will come...

Of course the game is getting old, it has been aging since it came out. If you're bored of it, no one is stopping you from moving on, but you really shouldn't flame a mod on its home board.
How can you say almost everyone sucks as a Marine? There are undoubtedly great Marine players out there, and I'm sorry if you haven't met one of them yet. They're a pleasure to have on your team and always make the gaming experience fun. If you expect to win all the time, this probably isn't the mod for you.
We all have our great victories here and by heck, we take our share of drubbings. A few bad experiences doesn't make a mod bad, just because you can't win doesn't mean you can't have fun. Who said winning is always fun? I like decisive victories as much as the next guy, but frankly, winning isn't everything.
P.S. Aku! Soku! Zan! ..The answer to everything, Himura-san.
Too bad armor went to 0 and no one of the wealder guys knew that you can repair armors too and i got killed by a lerk =/
But I enjoy losing sometimes. As a marine, of course. I love when the base is rushed by onoses, i hide below one of them and start stabbing with a knife, and they think theyre being killed by turrets. Lol. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
The real problem is that the first minutes of the game are the most critical. Poor decisions or indecision will cost precious time and often precious resources. I find it a complete waste of time to continue playing once it becomes obvious that such grievous errors have been and continue to be made. At least on the marines team you can vote a commander out... too bad the aliens can't vote people off of gorge. I can't tell you how many times I've played only to have some incompetent play as gorge and build solitary offense chambers scattered haphazardly around the map. I even had the displeasure to join an alien team the other day where they had already build 3 hives but not one upgrade chamber and only two extra resource collectors. With no resources available, having three hives did us absolutely no good. Meanwhile the marines had methodically taken key resource points and researched heavy armor and hmg. Needless to say that game was over despite the three hives.
Marines stand a good chance when the aliens are crippled by inexperienced gorges. Otherwise, the only real hope that the marines have is that they can acquire an empty hive and enough resources to equip their team with ha/jetpack and hmg before the fades come knocking.
Very rarely am I on the winning team (it happens, mostly on aliens, but it does happen)
If i join marine, we lose, if i join aliens, we also lose.
I know it's not me, because as marine i do what im' told and as alien i make defencies as a gorg and make hives etc.
Just dumb luck i suppose.
Lately i've played marines 80% of the time, just to try and get them to win once. Sometimes I command, sometimes I don't. Sometimes my fellow marines have been very teamwork oriented, certainly much more than the opposing alien team. What i've learned, in a game where all sides have a basic knowledge of the game, and each is moderately skilled and teamwork oriented, the aliens will win 95% of the time. The main cause of this, in a conflict between a fade with statistics as it stands now and 2 - 3 marines with equipment avalable at a comperable time to when fades are, say shotguns, and a couple upgrades, the fade still has a greater than half chance of killing them all and surviving. The only way to make up for a tech mismatch like this is teamwork, but it shouldn't require clan level teamwork for a marine team to beat a group of pubbers.
Oh, and don't call me a bad marine. That won't invalidate my point.
You'll be missed, sir.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
You broke my sarcasm detector.
I find it really hard when I see myself do good on marines say something like a 1.70 K:D Ratio, but when I go 36-1 with a Fade and then end the game 48-2, there is something wrong.
And its not hard for Aliens to win when all they use is Acid Rocket and sometimes Umbra
The aliens will lose if they have no strategy and the humans do.
The humans will lose if they have no strategy and the aliens do.
The aliens will win if they both have a strategy.
The humans will win if they have more players.
It will be fun if we all shut up about this and play.

By your logic, everyone is a skilled alien, and nobody is a skilled marine.
Unfortunately, that statement is to some extent true though.
Because ALL the n00bs gravitate to marine, and sit whining for a HMG & Armour even though they can't kill a Skulk.
I happen to agree with Quad and Squirrel here, because the skill of the players really does matter. Obviously a Skulk making a beeline for your face is more likely to die than one patiently waiting on an overhang for you to pass by.
P.S. Er... I was going to type more, but my roomates are dragging me out to lunch.
every other time, marines won.. tho it is sometimes a pretty fought out battle
All I ask for is mines <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> I'll stick with my LMG. I can take out Skulks out, Lurks and Gorges I just have trouble with Fades which you need HMG and HA.
I think that Aliens should have to share there resources like the Marines do, cause I think thats what gives them a bit of a advantage. All they would have to do is lower the cost of Onos, Fades, and Lurks. An Alien can gain resoruces quick, the longer you stay alive the more you will get. Then you can easily turn into whatever you want. Defense Chambers help the aliens out alot too, being able to attack, kill some marines and go back for a heal, and repeat.
For cloaking as Fade and keep killing HMG/HA's by circle strafing them from behind, so I get in like 5-6 hits before they even get me in front of them.
*Sigh*
And I didn't say all Marines were n00bs. But a greater % of marines are n00b than the % of n00b aliens. Hence, marine teams tend to comprise more rambos. Who lose. Miserably. To me. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
