It would only be a succesful movie if it had scorpions that hovar without flapping in it... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

^-^ Do it from the point of view of the aliens, much better <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->.

Actually, a two hour fight between aliens and marines woould be sweet. It worked for Black Hawk Down. And We Were Soldiers. It wouldnt need story, just a two hour fight where the aliens eventually get three hives but some brilliant commanding beat them back, or something.

Who said that the marine you control is the same one as you started with last time? Last I checked it just teleported in reinforcements (ala DoD's reinforcement theory of reincarnation.)
As for a movie, meh. They made a CS movie IRL, I don't see it not happening for NS if the community gets dedicated enough.

how about making two movies? marine POV and alien POV. With improved hivesight like some kind of halo-ey version of the alien he currently is. But alien PoV won't have much dialogue it'll mostly be in-head hivemind talking.
Oh, I just read the manual and all the stuff on the site....my bad <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

I mean look at Starship Troopers. Expendable humans get wasted over and over again by hordes of fast aliens that bite you.
Starship Troopers -------> Yes, but that movie as also pretty damn stupid lol. I mean, i like it because of all the fighting, etc. But it just shows some marines fighting and dieing, then all of a sudden one dude thinks that there is a brain bug, so they go and capture it.

bah, uncultured fools
action, survival horror, musical?
personally the last one has my vote
"The hills are alive! With the sound of-" *chuckle*
Will dead characters simply be brought back to life with IPs?
This is why I find writing NS storys so difficult. It's AWESOME for gameplay, but try to explain it to average joe and it's not so easy.
Million Res Nodes
Cleanse Da Intruders
Boondock Marines
Just get some decent actors in. Arnie, Sylvester, Sigorney. Leslie Nealson. Jasper Carrot. John Candy. C3PO, man, it would rock so much.
Save the hive!
