Aliens VS Aliens VS Marines.

<div class="IPBDescription">Mhm.</div>How about having two Khara's or whatever, and the other is another brood. Of course, for bigger maps. You could have Aliens fighting each other in a big three-way. They'd be exactly the same, you know, just different colors.

Add a little spice.

I've also thought a cool mod would be to incorporate multiple alien/marine teams, up to a total of 8, in either a team versus or ffa format similar to a traditional RTS. The biggest issue is that the maps would have to be way bigger and designed in a different way to make it viable.

I've heard Flayra talking about eventual same race battles. It's an eventuality, but for now, get the core game working, fix the bugs, optimize the engine and netcode, and then we'll expand the game.

yea that would be sooooo cool. Imagine a kharaa revolution or civil war or something. Like fades and gorges against skulks and lerks or something. That. Would. BE. AWESOME!!!

A clash of Gorge RUshes!

assuming balance translates well with MvM and KvK, even a 4 team ffa would be epic.

I was imagining a 4 way battle between 2 factions of humans and 2 factions of kharaa all battle in a sort of FFA war. Theres plenty of lore behind NS1 so creating another human faction wouldn't be hard to imagine (Mongolians were against TSA? i don't recall, i know there was something against the TSA besides aliens).

Now coming up with lore to justify another alien faction would be a bit more tricky, perhaps it could be a little bit like the way Starcraft did it, where brood lords would control their own swarms, but instead of Brood lords, it could be alternate Hive-Minds that control their own faction of Kharaa. Could be logical since all the Kharaa we've seen so far were linked to the hive through pheromones, so if there were a independent or alternate Hive, it's spawn wouldn't exactly be loyal to a different hive mind, with the pheromones and such.

We could get creative with this too, so the alternate human faction would have a different announcer for the commander, different quotes (commands/taunts/etc) perhaps with an accent, maybe even a different HUD. As for the alternate Alien faction, there could be a different color scheme, such as different colored hives, skulks, gorges etc to differentiate them from standard Kharaa, along with an alternate Hive-mind voice.

Or like 1 team of marines and 1 team of aliens (together as allies) vs 2nd marine team and 2nd alien team.
That would be interesting. (blue & orange) vs (green & red)
