i find it that to many people like the aliens, and complain about how the marines are to strong. i like the marines, and think the aliens have more advantages.

what do you think?

(NOTE: i cant start a poll)

I like the marines for their teamplay and weapons, but kharaa is the preference when I want to play a more "quakeish" style.

About balance, it all comes down to skill. Skill and tactics. Skill, tactics and teamplay.

Marines. I used to like aliens,but after awhile fades are too easy to play (hit-run-hit-run), becomes monotonous, plus, with the lack of mid game, I rarely fight any heavies, the only entertainment and/or challange as a fade.

At higher levels of players marines.

In organized scrims, they're both great. Team work on both sides of the playing field make any game of NS great fun. In pubs, however, I enjoy ramboing as marine <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

i prefer aliens... i dont enjoy the fact that my life is in the hands of a potential noobie commandor.

as far as balance... if you took the best possible marine team and played the best possible alien team in a match... it would end up either realy close.. or a tie... its based on skill more then anything.

To quote Fam: "For the motherfuckin' Hive, yo!"

I simply love the gameplay of an organized alien team. ("Fades - go, reclaim Subspace! The rest keeps the marines busy!").

I normaly go random, both teams are abit **obscenity** atm. Pick marines and u die loads, pick aliens and u kill loads.

U cant put skill tactics and teamplay into making balance. How is it balanced when the aliens can win easy without much skill, tactics and teamplay and marine need loads. If aliens do work with tactics and teamplay then the marines might as well give up at start. U get skulks defending hives at start (which doesnt normaly happen and is why marines get hives so easy) and marines are totaly screwed.

I used to be dead set on playing aliens - and I still do like them

However, I've noticed myself playing Marines alot more recently ...

I choose random almost all the time as well, which results in being an alien 80% of the time.
I'll agree that an organized alien team is almost unbeatable, the marines tried the sneaky phase gate in the hive tactic once. The entire alien team converged on it and when the marines poured through...lets just say the comm would've made good use of the distress beacon. <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo-->

I'd say marines but it depends on so much.

People say aliens are better because they require less teamplay but marines get a commander and he should ensure teamplay if he's any good and the marines are following orders. So teamplay is imposed upon marines so its not a disadvantage.
