just tried a different 1.03 server and the aliens weren't so strong, maybe it was some sort of admin hack or something.

To prove my point it was late in the game when i joined, the aliens did have 3 hives because they were using xenocide and yet, %80 of the aliens were skulks, no fades, no onos. just skulks and gorges, and they were owning!</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>
Lvl 3 carap + Celerity gives you an EXTREMLY mean fighting machine, especially against vanilla marines. I can easily take out 3-4 vanilla marines with a few hit-n-run raids - leap, bite-bite-bite-leap out, rush to closest defense center, heal, rush back, repeat. Works even without Celerity, in fact.

Also note how good skulk players use the vertical to good effect .. always runs up on the closest wall, forcing you to aim in the vertical, then down on you... much harder to aim in the vertical, so they live longer.... and the marines die.

I've seen more and more good skulk players in pubs, so my guess is (considering that nothing has been said about skulk improvements) that you met a couple of skulk aces.

Its hard to explain in a post and it would be very long winded but just to clarify. The aliens weren't xenociding very often, I just mentioned that as proof that the aliens had their third hive but weren't evolving. Also while I cant talk for other marines I know in one case, when I was with 3 other marine and was fighting one skulk I emptied a clip and most shots did hit because I could see blood coming off the alien, and it was all over the wall etc but he still managed to kill 4 marines, all full health as we just came straight from base and all together.

I've been meaning to go alien to try it personally but I havent had the time for another game yet. Oh and as to the bile bomb, if its going to hit outside of its graphical effect then they should change the effect, its inaccurate and misleading.</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>
My response to yours was purely to let people know that what you we're saying had no solid evidence or reason behind the supposed changes. I didn't want people to get mad for no reason. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'>

I'm always surprised at how big the splash damage radius is of the bile bomb. I get hit by my own bile bombs all the time. (although, only minorly and rarely unless someone runs right in front of me as I shoot)

Also vice-versa, the humans invent a technology for controlling aliens' minds by somehow "capturing" a hive... then it's the aliens vs the controlled aliens.
I believe the latter occurred in starcraft to some extent, but it's a perfectly plausible idea and it couldn't be considered "unoriginal"</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>
nice but i would think more on the lines marines disagreeing with other marines on how to do various thingys
like issues like communism or something if u get wot i mean various political thingys or wen to strike or something i dunno
or they want to protect the human race but they are different factions, rivals trying to take the aliens and will take each other to do it
or they just hate each other and splitted up because of hatred still going for the same goal i dunno

Sorry, but this was not from a Dev Menber.

And like in James Bond.

"Say never No"

If they already introduce Marine vs Marines, Alien vs Alien in 2.0 chances are good that a new species could join. But first they need the ideas.

In DoD 4.0 the Brits now arrive. It toók till 4.0, but know a third party arrived. So anything can happen.

by 3.0...who knows? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

Erm, there's another feature I've noticed in the v1.03 servers. Once you join a team, you can't switch until the next game. That means if you want to even teams, it's too bad, you can't. So if you go to the ready room you won't be able to join one team (too many players) or the other (seen the other team already). This also effects spectator mode, if you join it at all, you cannot play on either team (even through random team) until the next game.

I want the protoss! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
Yeah and marine vs marine/alien vs alien battles could easily be explained just by copying the storyline from StarCraft.
