Yeah yeah your so stupid noob, learn to play noob, haha troll whatever.
This will be my first and probably last post I find NS intensely boring. It was cool at first aliens, guns, and plenty of blood but that grows old pretty fast. As marines 99 times out of 100 all I ever carry is a LMG in standard armor with a pistol and perhaps in 5% of cases a welder realistic certainly fun? no not really variety is the spice of life and NS is sadly lacking that even aliens to a point their tactics come down to "run up and bite him a couple times" whoopee theirs some variety to aliens but I don’t like playing. Them mainly cause it’s hard as hell to melee with the perspective your given all it seems to come down to is jumping around like a rabbit on crack and holding down the bite button while trying to get sort of close to a marine. 3d person would be a god send I might actually be able to aim and dodge by moving away or toward him instead of randomly hopping every which way it will never happen though.
You might say join a clan find better servers for 1 I shouldn’t NEED a clan to have fun playing game and I don’t have the time anyway the servers don’t really matter I have played them all or so it seems and it varies wildly one might be horrible one night and pretty good the next no server is every always good or always bad cause the people on it are constantly changing.
Commanding the marines might be suggested there are several issues their for one my tactics and shooting skills aren’t bad but I suck at all manner of RTS games let alone ones where my own troops ignore me. And that brings use it point two the constant chants no matter what you do of how you suck or give me this give me that. The “OMG COMM YOUR SO STUPID” cause I didn’t give some noob a health pack while I managing a battle else where or building things it’s just annoying which is worse then being bored. And I don’t like build orders and learning where to relocate on every map and do this if they do that and so on I don’t play computer games so I can read a novel to perfect the strategies in them some people probably enjoy that but I don’t.
Added together I find NS boring and repetitive and sometimes frustratingly unbalanced.
NS 3.0 dosen’t seem likely to change any of this so for now anyway I’m done with NS.

I think u got a good explanation so i wont say ur a noob and that ur wrong, everyone feels different about games <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Well, hope u find ur "dream game" since i think NS is mine since ive been playing it since it was released for the first time <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Most of the time, aliens are stalking and setting up ambushes. Try ceiling hugging or waiting for a squad to move out and wipe out the last person of the group and run away. Hit and run guerilla war fair makes aliens so much fun! Once the aliens get some force and a good foundation going, then aliens take a more 'pratical' role of making squads and a front line attack set up...
Just give NS one last time, then go to CS and DoD and play with those drones. NS takes a brain and spirit to win.
Being a rine is something different. They play the reverse of the alien strat by moving in a front line attack, then later guerilla hit and run/scorched earth play.
Now, tell me, doesn't sneaking up on a helpless rine and biting off his ankles makes you laugh and feel proud?
Doesn't joining up with a rine squad, as a rine, then going on a rampage of killing and conquest bring a warm feeling?
I'm not going to flame. Just give us a chance, again.

If I said it again, I'll say it a million times: nubs destroy NS.
I pity you because I can relate. I suppose I'm just more 'fortunate' in that I have time for clanplay -to flee from the pubs.
I'd at least give 3.0 a try, since that's where I'm drawing the line. Even clanplay is dry now: Strategies are bland and repetative i.e. Nobody uses sense unless they want to humilliate the other team. Order is always DC/MS/SC, etc..
Good luck wherever you end up.
anyway this will turn into a flame war soon
EDIT: Oh. It already did
And if you want someone to take your complaint seriously, the use of proper grammer is a good thing <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

NS isnt for everyone. If you find the game boring or frustrating then simply dont play it. Your not obliged in any way to keep on playing NS. Go to the games that you've found entertaining and stick with them.
As good as NS is, there will always be people that dont like it or dont enjoy it. So long as they dont spoil the game for others I'm happy.
Do what makes you you happy play what gives you an enjoyable time. In the end it's your choice and we have little if any say in the matter. Good luck in finding a game that satisfies.
A big part of the fun in NS for me is communication and team work, it is not particularilly fun without it.
But yeah, if you don't like NS, find a game you do like and play it. Some interesting(lesser known) HL MODs are the specialists(nice and relaxing senseless violence with a large variety of guns and a total lack of aliens), Science and industry(capture the opposing teams scientists and choose which upgrades and gadgets they should research to strenghten your team, the team with the most cash at the end wins. More scientists == more cash. Lots of gadgets and guns in this MOD), sven-coop(HL singleplayer/opposing force like maps with extra players on your team and more enemies).
Edit: Although you might want to come back and try NS again once 3.0 comes out. If you want big guns more often, combat mode lets you choose your own upgrades. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
If you're still bored after that, go play something else. No insults needed, just find something you like.
Variety is the space of life, you say. Care to head to the NS Customize lab?
Wait... that sounded like a flame... Well, go check it out anyways. There's a reason why there are so few weapons for marines. It's the standard issue weapons. How could they plan thei rtactics if they had 10 guns to choose from?
It?s the disbelief you feel when reading the thread title that forces you to investigate <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Nope, I would never say that. No clan will ever want you.
Firstly, lack of variety for marines. Agreed. I do find seeing that same old LMG for 99.9% of my time as a marine rather dull. Perhaps just boosting the rate of res flow for both sides would help? It would mean rapid expansion for both sides, which would make games less drawn-out (in theory) and would also mean you would see lerks/fades/onos/shotgunners more often than boring old skulks and lmgers.
Secondly, commanding. Yes, commanding pubs is horrible. I have no idea how to prevent it from being horrible, perhaps a patch that stops most pubbers from being retards?
Thirdly, unbalance. Yes, there are some "balance" issues, but this is more a case of an early lerk distracting marines in base (no matter how many times the comm says "IGNORE THE LERK, GO TO YOUR WAYPOINT!"), or an early fade destroying rts, or an early onos obliterating the whole team. These "early" aliens have no real counter, except perhaps shotguns, which are far from a reliable defence.
So while I agree NS still needs a bit of fine tuning, it really isn't all that bad, and I just hope more people end up finding a GOOD server devoid of retards to become their regular, and don't end up making posts like this :/

for 1 your right, being in a clan IS only a little more fun then being a random unit on his own. the scrims are indeed more fun because you know the ppl on your team well, and its sorta like organized sport.
for 2, i indeed feel your great commanding pain, capt morgan was standing right behind me, and he himself stated "your doing a really good job" while some **** was constantly ranting "omg he didnt give me a med pack hes a noob comm, gimme some ammo, omg im gonna die N00B! boot him boot him" we were just about to take dbl res when the rines needed there comm most, BOOT out i go, perhaps, he should learn to <b>BE COMMANDED</b>
for 3, yet again, your right, people dont read the manual, play 3 games, end expect people to know every little thing about the game, and if there an assrat, it only makes things worse. i end this part here.

1 your ns customize lab is by far the most pathetic joke, why did the chicken cross the road? ownes that joke
2 i also have the boredom problem with Starcraft, i play for 2 seconds, save game put it aside, and 2 years later i say, "wow, when did i get that? maybe i deleted the folder, better take it out of the regestry"
and finaly i conclude this with this, to the people that posted insults
sereously, if your going to post crack jokes, or a "no clan would ever want you" skrew off, and think about how stupid you look, or how much of an **** you are being.
But they never actually play it anymore... it lasts perhaps about half a week, then they dont return
I ask them what they think and they STILL say its crazy and amazing and so very clever, they just dont play anymore, for some reason.

Yeah, playing aliens is like a new life. You can do SO MANY EXTREME things as aliens, no wonder why they win 70% of pub games! I would say the ambush is the most evil/powerful tool the aliens can use.
Remember, you can get cloak. Hide on the ceiling. Jump down and bite a guys head, run up the wall dodging rine bullets into a vent or crevice for future attacks! Just that is amazing! When I first saw an alien going on a rampage, I thought it was amazing! Once you learn you HAVE NO LIMITATIONS, you can go nuts and come up with great skills and tactics...
