Build162 and forward was the downfall of aliens win streak. Aliens were what marines are now. <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/news/2011/2/game_statistics" target="_blank">build162</a> Tables have turned, but they will fix it soon buff aliens a bit more. I wouldn't worry about it. Also, I don't think 224 is out yet. Plus, if it is out you have to give it time in the stats those stats are 223, which gave marines a better aim. I believe 224 is coming soon and that should help aliens.

um hih? 223 is not a patch.
It's less than 2 weeks away from game launch and one would thing to tink out the game details but I guess not.

yea, it was a mistype which I already fixed, I meant to type 223. Patch? no one said patch but you. But, i don't care call it patch or build. But, did you see my link of build162 where Aliens were 67% wins and marines 33%? They just buffed marines to much, which is going to be fixed. So, I wouldn't look at stats till version 1.0, but it does get annoying losing a lot I can fully understand, since my passion is aliens too.
NS2 stats isn't a very reliable source (small sample), though it does at least give a good impression of the current direction the balance pendulum is swinging in. I believe UWE's figures put marines and aliens a little closer, though still with an advantage for marines. (Last I heard it was 55%, which isn't too bad but certainly not too good either, and one would have to dig deeper into the data to really make sense of these numbers. I reckon a lot of wins for example can be attributed to second hive onos eggs...)
I would just count 223 a part of 222. It was never meant as a full BETA build, and it came out a day after 222. It was put out to solve some early server issues 222 had, hence the lack of ANY gameplay changes.
