<div class="IPBDescription">How are you server stats for marines....</div> Aug 05-10 Aliens win 80% Marines 10% Draws(after 2 hour games)10%
Aug 10-15 Aliens win 90% Marines 10% Draws 0%
Aug 15-20 Aliens win 40% <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->?!!! Marines win 50% Draw 10%

The last five days have seen something on my server, and I beleive its the gameplay "begining"(note:begining) to balance out for both sides. I have been commander almost non-stop the last few days.

This only counts the matches during of when I was on of course, but it DOES count both when I have been on the mariens and when I have not.


The actual hard numbers for the full day are as follows.
As of the last 5 days the marines have pulled from an average of 8% victories to now stand at around 20% victories for the entire game day.

This may not seem significant, but people are learning...at least it seems to me they are.

My question is, have any other server's out there had a sudden increase in the amout of marine wins as of late.....not total marine crushing...but a lot more than what was "normal" about a week ago. It seems that people are learning how to play and I know for a fact that I have learned how to command dam good on most maps now.

    I would say marines are starting to win a bit more, i think everyone is learning exactly how to play effectively as marines

    A little helping hand from 2.1 will speed the process up.

    www.brywright.co.uk/ns/stats

    Daily updated stats from the last 14 days
    295 (aliens) v 105 (marines)

    This is running 2.01b and must say it does seem alot fairer than 2.0.

    Recently tho marines have been winning mroe games <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It usually depends on the comm, i rarely see the marines win and when im sick and tired of seeing that i jump in the chair and give the rines a win.

    Most of the time for the marine team to win you need some damn good shots. I really hate it when there are only 3-4 good shots on a team of 7-8.

    Most aliens losses I've seen lately are caused by blatent refusals by team members to gorge to put up rts/hives/chambers/ocs. Sometimes I've been the only person to gorge the entire game, and it doesn't say much for balance when we were still able to win those games <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yep, marines with their act together are fun to play with/as. They also are learning how to win some games even.

    Thats all well and good, but you put that organization into an alien team...wow. Aliens are never focused, gorges putting up res nodes are rare, decisive decisons about what chamber to use first and where to put them are more rare. All in all, they're lazy.

    When that win ratio starts to swing towards the marine's favor, you'll see aliens working together for the big W. Pre-set gorges who know where to put those sensory chambers, not as many 100 res skulks waiting for Onos with only 1 hive up, organized scouting runs with effective use of parasite will make 'sneak attacks' all but flukes, the incredible support abilities of lerk and gorge will fully realize their potential.

    No doubt marines take organization to win, but I think alien teamwork can be more impressive/devastating.

    Marines are starting to hunt for sentries chambers to counter cloak and their starting to group chase fades and onos.

    I like playing on the HAM server. Very fun, it's practically 50-50.

    Then again, the server is packed full of Veterans, but MAN it is FUN to actually get killed as a Shotgunner by a SKULK!

    I would proabably say a normal server would have 20-40% marines/60-80% aliens as a norm. A

    The major problem I see on a lot of servers is a lack of alien teamplay.
  • MrKNifeyMrKNifey Join Date: 2003-06-25 Member: 17668Members
    I'm seeing marines win a lot more on the servers I play on, although that could be because there were a bunch of cocky little idiots on the aliens who did nothing except save for onos, leaving like 3 people to put up res while the marines have an excellent comm and decent marines who just steamrolls over them so badly.

    Our server has about a 40/60 win ratio in MARINES favor. We run a pub with non of that 2.1nerf crap

    for the first week or so we had a huge alien win problem untill we started a community effort to teach our regulars how to win. Since then marines have been kicking ****. Im fear that 2.1 is going to make it a Marine only show as they're nerfing aleins right as ppl are learing in mass to beat them

    if you need some people to go to your server and "fix" those statistics back to the aliens' favor, just ask, we did it for xzi, we can do it for you <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
