<div class="IPBDescription">Marines, skill etc</div> I have noticed alot of ppl say the game is fair all u need to do with marines is use skill and teamplay to win. Well they just name the big main inbalance in the game right there. Simple, marines need skill, aliens dont, To win any way.

Every post about fades been hard and stuff u get ppl giving all these tactics to taking them out and dont take em on ya own. I aint seen a post with some one going on about marines been hard for fades and giving tactics for them to kill em, all because u dont really need any major tactics cos marines drop like flies for em.

Its just funny all these ppl thinking there mature cos they say its fair when simply it isnt.

Hopfully 1.04 sorts it, and they dont go to far and it ends up marines beat aliens easy like at first.

    The game is balanced. It really does take an amount of skill to play fade well, it's just that the players that don't have the requisite skill don't play it; they just play marine and whine about it. You have to know when to press forward. When to retreat. What upgrades to choose, and how to use them. When to call for help, and what to call for. It takes skill to play <b>anything</b> in this game well, <i>including</i> the Fade.

    And next time, please try to type in a language that at least <i>somewhat</i> related to English.

    Actually, there is a plethora of bad Fade players out there. The ones who only think that DC's do anything, and you MUST build MC's within seconds of starting the game or they can't acid spam. In short, the UT players. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The best bit is, they don't even kill very much. Due to the fact they CAN'T stray very far from a DC, and the fact that as soon as HA appears they can't kill anything, they're not even effective. Quite depressing, really. Especially if you try & show them so, and DO, and they STILL play that way.

    I swear, sentience isn't a given in our species.

    This game has a great balance between players being able to be the hero and also having to team up with others to win. I think this game jst isn't as straight up about rewarding skilled players (plus I don't think people have been playing enough to really get good).

    As well, being skilled in this game sin't just having great aim...it's knowing to gaurd those who are building, check cieling when you enter a room, get to a hive when it's being attacked, and generally know the game dynmics.

    Wouldn't it be interestings to see what would happen if fades had the same backpedaling handicap that marines do? Hmm makes you think doesn't it?

    Backpedaling handicap? have you seen a marine jump backwards? they jump backwards faster then a skulk can run forward. I've seen it so many times.

    Marines that work together are a terrifying force indeed.

    Aliens that work together are a terrifying force indeed.

    Teamwork makes or breaks "the team." This isn't SI where the team only kinda exsists. You need every member of your team, most of the time.

    As for this skill issue. Acid Spamming takes just about as much skill as holding your mouse button down and whirling your crosshair across the screen. And that takes about as much skill as left-clicking as fast as possible while wailing on space bar. And takes about as much skill to point and click.

    In short, playing anything is easy. Playing it well is the hard part. And that is up to individual players.

    Um..... aliens take just as much skill (if not more) as marines do... how about you try playing aliens against some skilled marines before you whine.

    I think it's funny how he "proves" the game is imbalanced by generalizing what is said in a forum.
