Turrets farms for as far as the eye can see. Once marines get HA/HMGs the aliens might as well f4. They just find a spot that has perhaps 1 exit and turret farm the hell out of it, then station 2 has with hmgs at the entrance and a guy with a welder behind them. Then medpack spam them. then they wait until they have enough for an HA train and they move out. oh and thanks a WHOLE bunch for nerfing the HELL out of umbra. COOL! umbra! fwip SWOOSH and its alreayd gone..., One major coutner in 1.04 to HA were spores, now they are useless agaisnt HA. Devour is usless except against a hurt loan marine, by the tiem you manage to stun them and switch weapons his firends have already made you redeem or killed you in 10 shots thru your pitiful armor...
Tho SILENCE TOTALLY PWNS! THANK YOU!

2) it seems most other people are complaining about marines being too weak
3) marines don't get huge turret farms if you and your kharaa friends are on top of their movements
4) I agree about spores. I think they should at least hurt the armor. BUT, HA IS the top of the marine tech tree. I think devour is supposed to be a counter to HA, but in my experience, it's just a little too difficult to use. You have to stomp, crouch, and try 10-15 times just to get someone.
Try playing for a week more and watch as all these lesser skilled Players adapt to the game and things become alot more balanced in the mind of players.
Your post is pointless and its been said by a number of other aswell!
If you won't play the game for a few weeks, and get use to it, you opinion isn't helpful!
Well said.
K um... hmmm
First take out any of their undefended res nodes. Then bilebomb any undefended turret farms. Put ocs where their turret farm was, to prevent it from being retaken. Even tho umbra sucks, get 2 lerks, to do nothing but umbra while skulks, onos try and rip up the turret factories, gorges to set up structures to draw fire and cause havoc. If any grenade launcher's appear, devour them one by one. Don't bother with stomp - just use celerity. If you have 3 hives, use web as much as possible.
And if that doesn't work then hey well the marines gotta win a couple games too. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Marines win most of the games i play, but well... nerf the aliens, go, make them even easyer targets
I had this problem, but then I realised I was trying to line up the devour with the onos' mouth, not the centre of the screen.
You really shouldn't need to crouch, just look down and keep that marine in the centre of the screen.

That's what the lastweapon key is for. (Q by default)

I can't think of any places with one exit (at least, not placed with hives or rts). Most maps are designed so that there is no-where you can do that in.
But seriously, why is it that when it gets to the end of the game, and the marines have a turret farm, everyone tries to take out each individual turret one by one? We usually try going for the IMPORTANT things first, like maybe the turret factory, or their last res node, or even the arms lab so they lose their upgrades, or maybe the observatory so we can cloak/they lose motion tracking.
edit - getting that last res node can be the most fun, because at that point you know they're not getting any income but from what they can kill <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
The game is balanced. Accept it.

This is a DIRECT QUOTE from Flayra on the public beta board.
<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--> Anyone that says the aliens are weak, or that the game is totally balanced, obviously hasn't done any of the things I mentioned above. Aliens are soundly beating marines in 9 out of 10 competitive games, and this is due to a couple last minute changes we made at the end of our private beta. The game that had finally gotten balanced near the end, was no longer as fun as it should've been, so we took the risk and traded balance for fun. That's what 2.0 is. It's fun, but not balanced yet.
I think that most of the giant amount of work has been done already to make NS balanced, but there are still a couple important tweaks that must be done. When you watch a clan game and watch skulks just owning marines all game every game, there is definitely something wrong. Posting "OMG Flayz0r is listening to the winers give it a couple weeks" is not only totally useless feedback, it's irritating.

So any of you saying that the game is balanced, you are wrong <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Flayra himself acknoledges that 2.0 is imbalanced (unless I misread the above) and is planning to tweak it (again, unless I misread the above).
Until then, YES aliens are overpowered. Deal with it until 2.01 <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Actually, the marine has to be in the center of your screen to devour him. Put the half life crosshair on it and it makes it easier...although I havnt tried that yet.
WHAT
He's saying that aliens are UNDERbalanced. He's saying that aliens suck massively and that marines are overpowered.
