<div class="IPBDescription">Please read</div> I just finished playing a in a moderately sized game(the [WHO] server), with both teams working fairly well together, group movements and attacks, etc. One thing stuck out prodominately about marines, when they group together and use teamwork, no amount of alien teamwork can seem to overtake them. And in the same, a ramboing skulk can take out a ramboing marine rather easily. I'm not sure if this is intentional, for aliens to keep the marines disorganized, etc, but it should be deadlock when both teams work together. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

In that case, it's the aliens job to keep the marines from coordinating, for example by attacking multiple points simultaneously.
Aliens get lvl 3 carapice a HELL of alot faster than marines can get lvl 2 guns.
With this aliens can basically parasite a pack of marines moving to a hive.
THE MOMENT they begin to build ANYTHING just MASS ATTACK.
Marines really have to depend on having a good comm who will not put them in a position where they could be ambushed from 4 vents and entrances.
And if you ABSOLUTELY have to pass thru an area where you can be very easily ambushed have one person go up infront of pack and have one person fall a little behind the pack.
This way if u see the first guy dies u can just shoot all the people biting him and if u see the rear guy die u can simply turn around and start shooting.
Game Start:
The team that does better rushes while the other team does worse defense wins quicly.
This includes a counter rush after succesfull defense.
Middle of the game, 2 hives Build, 3rd secured by marines:
Aliens have lots of advantages. If marines are too stupid to defend all their outposts they lost.
End of the game:
The longer a game lasts the more it favours marines. (if they dont waste all resources by dropping HA and high end guns)
No massife fade-skulk-gorge team with 2 hives can defend a team of proved marines.
He didn't say THAT spacifically, but in the interview he said that on clan servers marines TEND to win more and in pubs aliens TEND to win more.
It's not a thing of who SHOULD win.
maybe im just a newbie, im not used to play rounds that long on a HL game. before you roll your eyes, let it be known that im not a CSer <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
