The official marine vs. alien poll

Legionnaired

I DISTINCTLY remember a PT story about humbaba with a jetpack beating the crap out of an Onos.

Ask him, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.

QUAD

Yeah, the Leval 5 COULD handle that poor marine if there wasnt a Heavy marine with a jet-pack, power armor and HMG sneaking up behind it, complements of a carefully orchestrated set of events conducted my the commander.... MWAHAHA

Marines= pwn the aliens!

(sorry for the 1337 speech, i know its rather uncharacteristic of me <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> )

humbaba

Yep, chrome angel can vouch for me. However, I had the help of a turret or 2, about 20 mines, and a full Shotty. However, I placed them all myself. So . .call it me if you wish, but it was not ALL me. <a href="http://www.natural-selection.org/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=3406;st=190" target="_blank">http://www.natural-selection.org/cgi-bin....;st=190</a>

well, the idea of real TEAM gameplay excites me ALOOOT!! but i want to also try the ALIens, the looks soooooo PRetiiiiiiii!!!! YES!

Eos

Aliens bacause of differnt gameplay, but you can be a Marine Commander....still have to go with Aliens.

Dunsby

Flayra you need to add more, spectator, people might want to play those, both, or yet to decide, or maybe even want to try both before i decide.

I personaly would go for the last one but i had to choose marines. <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->

I'm REALLY looking forward to the team play aspect of Marines. Thats why I voted for them. I'll still play the aliens heavily though!

Marines all the way, even though i like them equally, i'm looking forward to seeing my entire team die in front of me and me having to own all the aliens ^_^.  The release is going to rock!

LOL, I have that in my playlist and play it whenever I go on a bombing run in BF 1942.

Makes me feel all powerful and such.

Nuketheplace

Marines all the way I like team based combat more that sencless killing mm sencless killing...

Sgt_X

Marines first, I want to play commander mode a fair amount after release. Once I'm used to the game I'll use randomn team.

C0nan_The_Librarian

Aliens!!! i want to see people running away from my lvl 5 alien err Onos!!!

Gazaar

I'll play aliens only for the first few weeks or so.  I love them the same, but even though marines have the shotgun, it will be hard to organize people migrating from quake and Cstrike to actually organize a squad of marines. Me- "hey guys, lets get our equipment and take out their new hive"  RandomCSapostle - "lol0lo0klroozz R4MBO Tiem!"

HaZy

awww don't make me choose!

well i guess i'll have to go with the marines. teamwork never gets boring...

marines.

Banzai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MCThornGristle

I voted with the majority - which means, of course, that I WIN.

I watched Aliens too many times as a kid to be able to choose otherwise.

I agree with Greedo, I think the Aliens will be interesting to Play, I'll take great pleasure in ambushing marines causing them to  wet themselves, and then let them get away. A Marine that wets himself in power armor, bet that feels like a tazor to the balls  <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

I was actualy worried that no one would want to play the Aliens, most of the stories or at least.. when the topic was first posted, had to with how cool and intence it is to be a marine and work as a team etc. and though it seems marine players out number alien players the aliens have alot more players then I thought they would.
