<b>Knockback</b>
Oh, joy; bite a marine to back, be 100% sure that the next one is piece of cake, only to notice that the marine is practically flying to the other end of the room. Happy day!
<b>Skulk weakness</b>
5 bullets to kill a skulk. Add in 1 sharp-shooter, good camping spot, and you have a lost game. Annoying.
<b>Onos weakness</b>
Onos was supposed to be an assault class, right? Not anymore, since he can barely live a second in LMG fire. This often leads to locked-down situations, where the marines just turret farm a place (vs. lower life-forms), wait for the res to flow in, and equip a HA-train. 2-3 marines guarding the farm will make it very hard to breach with 1 onos and the rest of the team as skulks. Joy.
<b>Third hive abilities</b>
...Are mainly useless. Webs in worst cases do not even slow down the marines, charge is useless, and acid rocket is too weak. Happyness.
<b>Devour wait</b>
Needless to say; BORING. When I play, I except to have fun. I expect to kill, or be killed. Build, sneak around, whine, or lame.

<b>"Forever tagged"</b>
Just a whine here; para should fade after a time. Move along.
<b>Combat/Classic integration</b>
Last, but not least; having combat maps in map cycle is annoying. IMO Combat is just crap when compared to Classic NS, and should be completely separate game with different installation and rules. There are dozens of better death-match games out there, like AvP and Tribes, but only one NS Classic.
Commanders who get level one weapons first, and then defend their action by saying "Good Marines never allow skulks to get close to them." When will they learn?
I love that ability with a passion, because once you combine it will celerity you are a freaking TRAIN. Excellent for stampeding into a room full of marines, killing a few or snatching one with devour, then taking off at 500 MPH. Absolutely hilarious.

Steam.
Umm... right IN ns.
*thinks*
How fast a lerk dies in classic is a major pet peeve of mine....
What else... Oh, when the muzzle flash makes it hard for me to see the aliens, or they are behind my gun's model (the first normally happens in darker places)
Umm... Comms that rush to HA without a single other upgrade... then yell at you all when their HA train dies.
Being comm, having all upgrades, and an HA train, and having killed all 3 hives, and one more has been put up... and then having your train go chase hive 0 onos's for 10 minutes while the hive completes, and then losing due to their stupidity.
Also, having your team fall apart after you get all upgrades, and so you can't deal with any disasters, and end up losing even though you controlled the whole map and had all upgrades, and all because of one fade or one onos that your marines couldn't get organized together and take out.
Oh, which reminds me. Player clipping sucks. I hate getting blocked as a lerk or an onos most of all, .but all the other ones are quite annoying. Blink is also quite annoying to get stuck in the middle of.... any high speed alien can not be worrying about crashing into other aliens. It's also stupid that you do lose all that speed. With the speed all the aliens are moving... They shouldn't have it, or if they do, they need to at least have more accurate physics, so the skulks will get thrown around, and so that if two things bump in air, they won't both just stop.

Remember that time that NS and everything else was on Steam, and then when they decided to run an update, it kept everyone in North America from playing Half-Life for a day? That sure was annoying.
