And that got me thinking about the state of the next patch. what stratigies will be created... what will we be talking about in here about how to counter certian stratigies and such.

I then posted here...

<a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=21&t=53107' target='_blank'>Alien warning</a>

The aliens did not take my warning seriously.

Now i come to you... Here to show you your new stregnths against the karaa.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Catpacks + Shotgun rush + Lerks with NO FREKIN SPIKE + more expensive fade (60) + Recycling unbuilt/built structures now gives 100%/50% resources back, instead of 80%/40%+ TF reduced from 15 to 10+ Armory reduced from 15 to 10 (2 more patches and it is free!) + Reduced motion-tracking cost from 45 to 35 + Marine team with a brain = aliens lose aliens lose aliens lose aliens lose.

Add in the fact they fixed the alien hitboxes (They fortunetly upped Armor for fade and onos thanks Dev team, you own...) and Reduced HMG damage from 20 to 18... this upcoming patch is going to be shotgun rush heaven for all comms.

The new routine for a winning marine team would be:

Get shotguns, tell them to rush the hives constantly, upgrade lvl 1 armor then weapons till victory.

A skilled medspam comm will make rines SHRED higher lifeforms... imagine 2 catpacked LA rines ripping an onos down in mere seconds... or 3... god it will be SAD!

So clearly you will hold the advantage in the upcoming patches.

Discuss the new stratigies and plans to utalise these changes in your favor for the upcoming patch.

I agree that the situation looks rather grim for Alien players right now, but to be honest with you, we have NO IDEA what kind of an effect it is having on gameplay. Also, if it is as unbalanced as you believe it is then it will surely recieve a revamp before release. The mistake that Flayra made releasing 2.0 prematurely will not be repeated, and with a larger playerbase (constillation members), balance will be easier to achieve.

One thread was enough, since every marine strat will be paired with a kharaa counter (or 3) and vice versa. It should probably go in gen disc, for that matter.
