<div class="IPBDescription">Come children!</div>I think you should change the name of the mod. Honestly when I first heard of this mod I imagined it was some sort of gardening simulator. Natural Selection is just a bad name.
Try one of the following:
Durinian Concept (Survival of the fittest)
GalaktiSplat (cooky for commercial appeal)
UniWars
Aliens VS TSA
Add a level 6 alien which is a big octopus with nearly undodgable tentacle swipes that can either kill you in 1-2 hits or it can pick you up and if you have less then 50 life, it swallows you. This thing should move very slow though.
Make engineers which can build all kinds of stuff for the marines but much more efficiently. However they should have nearly no offensive capabilities.
Also, put maps where some scientists are trapped and the marines need to go rescue them.

As for the rest of this... I hope I'm just not getting your sense of humor.
Seriously think about it. I have some more ideas.
You should make one where the aliens have to plant a seed in some machine or something. If it grows past a certain point it takes over machinery. Marines need to stop it before it takes over the machine.
No <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->
Anyways, i hope you are not drunk because most of the ideas sound wierd........
you said "Durinian Concept (Survival of the fittest)", guess what term also means that? Hmm...I dunno, could it be Darwin's theory of <b>Natural Selection</b>? Naww...
Octupus on land that eats marines and won't be added in due to hull size limits of 5 aliens, hard coded in HL engine.
The marines are meant to work as a team, and that doesnt mean defend the engineer, it means work together to build <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
Rescuing hostages...hmm... where have I heard of that before? Seriously man, a little brain goes a long ways here!

No offense Chapel, but I don't think the time to suggest a new name, a new alien class which will unbalance everything and machine seed is during these last playtest times...I don't think anytime would be right to suggest all of these. Oh man, this was wierd. :p
Enjoy your stay here at the NS forums and try to read up on as much as possible. Made you'll end up liking the choices the team has made so far. Lol!
Zing! <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

Damn straight! I've been petitioning VALVe for the longest time to change the name 'Half Life' to 'Frederick Soddy's Discoveries Concerning Radioactive Decay'.
Note: I'm pretty sure it was Soddy, but any pedantic science types that know better, feel free to correct me.

That was the most awesome ownage of a n00b I have ever seen.
Props to you.
Lets take a look at this:
a)A game mode where the "Marines" go in and have to rescue hostages from the "Aliens..." Do they get to buy weapons before each round and can we please get those aliens some better fitting ski masks?
b)A game mode where you, as an "Alien" have to place a "Seed" in a machine, and you can only place this "Seed" in that specific "Seed Site" and then we, as the "Marines" have to come and defuse..err.."Destroy" the seed.
Oh and I love the idea of a big giant land octopus, one suggestion though, can we have him shoot awp bullets from the ends of his tentacles, that would be awsome
Great ideas man.
I don't know why you guys are actually taking this guy seriously, maybe because his attempt at humor missed all of us by a mile.
LoL...funny stuff.
You can have a level 6 alien. TFC had like 12 classes. Its the exact same thing. That's why you can have an engineer who builds stuff. And maybe put up lil crystals they can go and bring up to the command center? It would be cool. Have a bunch of crystals set up around the map and make it so engineers and builder aliens can get them.
And plz make the aliens able to take over a command center and produce possessed marines that kill their still surviving comrades.
And make my level 6 alien plus make a level 7 alien that is like a human but red and has a long very sharp tongue that it kills with. This one should be able to climb walls.
To even it up make a marine that has a giant robot with huge guns.
Also make my 2 gameplay modes. Seriously think about it.
Scientists are trapped and TSA has to go rescue them. If Aliens kill them they lose resources but they could gain life for example by eating them.
TSA ship. Aliens onboard wanna take control so they need to plant their seed in the engine. It could grow beyond repair after say 30 seconds.
"Guys I don't like the name....sounds too serious makes me think of C&C, how about "Humans vs Orc vs Night Elves vs Undead"?
As for the name... I think Natural Selection fits it. Sounds good to me. Better than the ones you gave... as for the rest of your ideas... er... Let's just say you don't want to hear my opinion. I hope you're joking.
Edit: Hey, I don't think Counter- I mean, NS wants your objective ideas....
