Errr greater numbers? How is that possible? One player=one marine or one alien right? Unless the game forces the alien team to have 2 more players then the marine team.

also, marines expend 1 guy for commanding......
Aliens tend to come back faster and have one fighter more in a 'balanced' game.

When I look at Battousai's avatar and sig I suddenly remember to punish Nemesis Zero by playing Rouroni Kenshin title theme all day <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->
It will however be designed to allow the DMmy aliens a faster re-entry in the game.

You've confused your buildings. Phase gates allow light speed travel between each other. Infantry portals allow marines to respawn.

Fun factor. Horribly unbalanced games, in terms of team numbers, are no fun whatsoever, for either team. Playing the whole game and not running into anyone on the other team is entirely possible with unbalanced teams, and when that happens, you usually feel really dissapointed. The best part of the game are the intense, even matched battles that can and do happen often.
Lol ok then, Perhaps MonsE should modify his site. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

Oh yeah, the topic. I think it's better if the Marines are outnumbered. Makes it more movie-like... well... except for the first Alien, which had a single alien taking out the whole crew... and then in the second one they blew away swarms of 'em...
But this would be more like Aliens, I suppose. Kick-###.
