Hello. I wanted to post on this board *to get away from the esforces forums* to talk with everyone and get a idea who hangs out here.
My 2 fav mods Esf and Natural selections *yes i test esf* Is what makes up my half-life. Each one has there plus. I wanted to share with you all how i felt about the game and i hope you all will respect like i know you will <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Natural selection. You guys did alot! a very respected mod. I love the feel of it. Being a human walking down a long hallway. You guys did a very good job getting the feel of being in a aliens movie the sounds are great. I really love that.
That does not mean the game does not have flaws to me. I can go on and on about the good things about this mod, but i will list some of the things that kinda make me go eh...
1) Aliens. Humans are just so much cooler *to me* and add more of a fear factor. I love aliens also. But it feels great having a good commander and a good team i dont know why but when i play as a alien i feel less of a team. I have had some great team severs. But sometimes i wish there was like a mother alien that gives off a area effect boost always *a very powerful one* that the aliens could move with for more of a team type deal. yes i know <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo--> have something like it. But noone really cares about the effect for team
2) Public severs is all i can go to really being this said team work is sometimes rare. it feels like a gamble being a human. There is a good chance you will get a bad command. and as a alien it seems alot of time everyone does there own thing and fuss about to many <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo-->
So what are some of the things i would like to see? wishful thinking here
Gorg to be able to goo up doors to block paths from the humans *the goo has a hp on its own*
Commands able to control the area in a better way. block off a door and have the aliens as a side quest able to turn off commanders powers as in take over rooms. I would love to be able to take out there power to see me *you know the auto wall hack* by taking out a room or power. That way the humans can also have something to defend also just like aliens
last thing of my wishful thinking aliens able to take over the humans with a certain class. it would be sweet if i jumped on someone *like a face hugger* and took over them. i can see it now. Bob is that you... you looking a little green... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
thats about it. And nice to meet you all. I will be posting more when i get the chance and ya i live the days of the turret farms *shivers* back at the start <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

If you read some of the S&I forum's stickys you will see that one of the things that will never be in NS is any form of alien mind control. Would be fun, but the devs say it aint going in.
Also, gorges can 'goo up' doors - its called web (2nd hive ability).
[EDIT] BTW this isn't a flame, I actually like these ideas...
The alien take over. I know i done saw that. Thats why i said wishful thinking <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
To add to list. maybe certain rooms could be a nest for aliens? like a spawn point besides a hive? just throwing out things that might sound cool but maybe would ruin gameplay. still ya know <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
with the aliens i think the saying goes.
Stepping out of a evil looking gate may be cool at first. But after seeing it 1000 times it gets old. I hate to say it but aliens looked cool at first now it is like eh same old. Thats why i think people play humans. because more of working togather and not feeling *alone*
TeoH has been here a while now... I think I feel an essay coming on <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Are you kidding? I didn't even PLAY marines my first 10 games or so.
The issue i have with aliens is. The lack of things to do. it is kill and get hives yes. I would like to be able to maybe to set up ambushes? as a skulk. like lay eggs that does a gas effect. when a human gets near? i mean some more things to do as aliens would really add some spice and fun factor

Oh please, I was being general. Tell me you didn't see a ton of people piling into the "Join Marines" door the first few weeks after NS was released. Then I'll tell you that you're lying to me.
NightShade?, it seems to me that you just like Marines more. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
I gave my reasons why i did. I dont think aliens are weak oh heck no. aliens are ownage. I just miss some spice up in there to take away the missing of having a gun watching your tail. a commander keeping a eye on you.
If there was no auto balance you would still see people trying to be a <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> I think humans and aliens needs alot of fluff to make this great mod even better.
As a tester for another mod. This is what i do. I look at a game and ask myself what would make it even more fun without being a years worth of coding. What is lacking and things like that.
I play alot of marines myself and whenever i want to go on a team it seems as tho everyone else does, although i usually join a team because a friend or clan mate is on it.
I really think some fluff is needed. able to custom weapons? able to set up ambush as a alien. Hell i would be happy to jump inside a fade to become apart of the fade to make him more powerful. anything to give aliens that more team feel. I get sick of rushes. Yes i like fast pace but i do not want it to be like it is now as a humans. mines at start if you dont do it this way you going to lose so on so on. i would like diffrent tatics to work.
I would love to see this. commander shuts the main door. We are in the power room. you hear a <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo--> hitting on the door. We made bunkers like things in the room waiting. The door is bust we open fire. We somehow defend off there attack. We then set the alpha group off to take that hive while they are down.
I would LOVE to see things like this. With the skill of the Ns team it could really happen one day i think. I dont want faster games to happen. I want a good long well thought out game like chess.
Like i said before my 2 fav mods ns and esf. Both very diffrent and great. i wish the testers luck also wiht all the new things coming up in 1.1. It is a tough job at times but we all have faith in you <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
