I have been playing NS since it went live, and I must say this is the most interesting mod I have yet encountered. It's strength lies in the fact that it is not all hand eye coordination skill - it also requires a thoughtful approach, strategy, and teamwork. It is interesting to me to watch the ebb and flow of pro-alien or pro-marine players complaining about the weaknesses of their preferred side, and the utter invincibility of their opponents. It is particularly perplexing to see people complaining that the marines are too strong or that the aliens are too strong in equal numbers.
One point to consider is that the game is enjoyed by both casual players and elite clans. Naturally, the teamwork of the clans gives them great strength as marines (and as aliens as well, I might add), while the casual players suffer the penalties for going han solo - rambo all the time.
I guess my point is that it is unreasonable to expect the designers to continuously tweak the game to satisfy your particular style of play or inexperience. The game is great - live with it - stop whining for weapons and start laying the smack down.
To the design team, my heartiest congratulations on an awesome job. Thanks guys.
