English?

Xzilen · August 2003

Okay, wow, and we've known that they could win games for a long time. God am I sick of people calling the game "so" unbalanced

Iced_Eagle · August 2003

wow im sure everybody has won a game of rines... its just not as common as alien wins in pubs

GreyPaws · August 2003

you played against terrible aliens if you managed to drop a TF Turrets and Siege at every node you took and still won the game.

QWAD · August 2003

In 2.0 it is all about the Resource nodes, Kill the Aliens nodes and build, AND SECURE your own.
Big alien teams suffer even more from few RT's and you, as a Rine, will notice the ONOS does not turn up in 5 min and you actualy have time to get HA and HMG etc.
Note that you must also prevent Hive 3 or Suicide skulks <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'> will own light rines.

Anyways Humans can win, thats the point. Commanders need to take resources very serious and kill the Alien nodes as alien creature evolutions are not based on hives but on resources.

As for the actual post, I see Marines win very often. I play on very experienced servers (the HAM server preferrably), and 2.01b, and it's very fun. It's no longer, "Aliens win AGAIN...", it's all a matter of picking the team with more Veterans <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>.

Rhodri · August 2003

Yeah, on 2.01b rines do win more often than 2.0 but not too much which is good (balanced). But you can't say that aliens don't win over 75% of the time on basically all 2.0 pub servers, because they do <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

nojmaster · August 2003

saying that marines win on experienced servers doesn't amount to much. Down here on the real world, you go into a pub and the comm is rarely any good, but thats ok, because the other players probably can't do better and therefore dont get all pissy. You generally build a base, go off and try and farm up the double res. Now, recently most marine teams have started to realise that they have to move onto the alien hives, they are increasing the win rate, but its still difficult, and marines still have a tendancy to get drawn into long seiges where the aliens can't really get in, but the marines can't really get out, that usually end up in the marines getting beaten. Marines are finding it tough to hold res while taking new ground, res gets left behind, and invariably eaten. Most alien losses have been due the aliens having a lot of very mediocre players, or the very few occasions where the marine has an exceptional comm and knows exactly how and where and when to hit.

Why should marine victory be placed only in the hands of the elite?

Xzilen · August 2003

*Sigh*

Its just morons who don't listen to orders.

AjaxFisk · August 2003

I've won many time's as rines on pubs, but you often need a good commander, and also a team than can work with each other.

As we all know, team work on pubs, is not something that goes on all the time.

Just another day of a person discovering teamwork.

TheDestroyer · August 2003

NS, in my opinion, is a clan game. Pub games, of course, are mostly alien wins because aliens requires minimal cooperation, where as marine side is sole based on teamwork. Clans are able to even out the game because of the co-operation factor.

Also, people tend to forget that this is <b> <span style='color:red'>NOT CS </b></span>and like to go "ramboing" around when marines. One marine cannot take out the entire alien side, no matter how much medspam you do. I have seen games where people come close, but thats only when they are spawn camping the aliens.

NS Marines require teamwork.
Oh no, not the "T" word!
Yes, staying in group, shooting at aliens as a group, knifing S.C.s D.C.s M.C.s and Res Nodes, and watching each others backs is what marines are all about.

...that and Res Nodes, but you knew that already!

SoBe_Dragon · August 2003

just wanna let you guys know that I won 5 games in a row as comm on the same map...within 15 minutes. Wanna know what I figured out? tough =P

Winter · August 2003

*is in complete agreement with the above post*

As for one of the previous ones, I've played games where certain RT's were protected by small tf farms, and they lasted a long time. They can pay themselves off, even with turrets, in no time at all, depending on how much you farm. It's amazing what a turret or two can do in defense of a RT. Plus a mine or two wouldn't hurt IMHO but no one likes those anymore <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

MrKNifey · August 2003

Teamwork is an exploit. Exploits are bad and a bannable offense on most admined pub servers, so you never see it anymore. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

You do have to remember that if there wasn't a public scene for ANY game, a clan scene would never come into being. If NS were for clan play only, then the public scene will die and the clan scene will die with it.
