I dont believe that the gates cause the game to be unbalanced. With proper coordination, any team can be unstoppable, be it marine or alien. Sure, marines can teleport from A to B. The aliens can run like flaming little gerbles! Also: the marines have to initially GET to the point, and HOLD the point long enough to build a phase gate. Once the gate is built, it must be guarded; the gate has very little armor, a skulk can take it in about 15-20 seconds.
Big teams make no big difference. So there are 8 marines in a group and 3 at the base, well that means you have at least 9 skulks buzzin around. Point being: X marines vs X skulks = X dead marines. The skulks just have to be as coordinated as the marines. (a trickle of skulk... skulk... skulk... skulk... is just gonna boost the marines morale, as you will be getting cut up one at a time)
I have a little more to say, but all this ranting of NS has given me a craving...

Wewt.
