<div class="IPBDescription">A topic in the tales of hundreds!</div> Yea, at first when i played ns my usual favorite was marines for their team work.
Then i went to command for the challange and stress put on by team when a "shotgun" was needed.
Then i said man im gonna try aliens... then i realize hey wait a second... marines are no longer fun.

here are the lists why:
1)not many options as a marine
2)sure teamwork is great but how many *good* players do you get?
3)yelling at commander for HA and HMG just doesnt cut it
4)you have to stay in packs
5)if you have a crappy commander you are screwed, the aliens won no turning back
6)Do not talk about fight club
7)Repeated strategy while aliens have many, example:

Marine thinks:Hmm hold position... look out for skulks
Marine thinks:Hmm commander put up some building, lets build
Aliens think:Now should i go fade bile bomb the marines? Should i go lerk spore them to death?
Should i go gorge build more offence defence or web them up?Should i go skulk xenocide those group of HA Gren spamming **obscenity**?Better yet lets go Onos and just beat the game!

    Welcome to the wonderful world of commanding. Or, if the chair is occupied, micro-managing all the little twits into following you as the field commander.

    Since 1.03, I have been having more fun as marines than aliens. Since games these days still have enormous amounts of n00bs playing, aliens are always at an extreme disadvantage. So aliens just aren't fun. As marine, and a fair commander, I can at least do something decent and have fun while doing it. As alien, I'm too busy getting stressed over the fact that these gorges are idiots, sensory was made first, offense towers are being made in obscure locations, defense chambers aren't even being made, and when they are, in useless locations. And gorges aren't even healing.

    As marine, all that is needed is a fair commander. And even without that, I can pick up my ultra-powerful LMG, fill up, and go own some skulks. Really, marine IS more fun.
