How long does a match generally take? A map does end when a team destroys the CC/last hive and all the aliens/marines right? You don't just score a point or something.
I would expect a clan match to be 2 rounds, 1 clan aliens 1st round, switch to marines the next(similar to tfc and I imagine cs as well.(I'd be surprised if it wasn't true for cs)) But how long could a match take then? Cause in a game like tfc you can set a round length and then look at which team has the most points. But in ns it seems like you couldn't and a match could potentially take upwards of 2 hours. Also the risk for overtime seems higher since if one team gets a bad start its like an rts and they could lose before theys started because only 1 point is needed to win.
Unless I'm totally wrg how ns works, it might be on a round system as well, just RTS games never have been before.

The only way I could see this being solved is to just play it RTS style, 1 round and whoever wins the round wins. But then you have to decide who gets to be marine and who gets to be aliens. Well there are a number of ways you could do this, ie... Highest rank clan gets to choose what they want to be or Home team = alien away team = marines or any other kind of way.
When marine vs marine and alien vs alien get implemented it will be much better for match play.
EDIT: "A map does end when a team destroys the CC/last hive and all the aliens/marines right? You don't just score a point or something."
I believe there are different settings you can have for a server. The map could end when u destroy the last cc/hive/marine/alien, or the map could keep going if the timelimit for the map hasn't been come to an end, so another game would just start. I don't believe there are any points for teams.
