Maybe they could suffer huge loss in aim by using the Jet-Packs. But "bumping" your head head on the ceiling and falling "unconcious"is abit over the top. After-all, they are wearing helmets.

Well first things first, stop talking about balance issues, it's starting to hurt my head. In fact, earlier today on the EFTel server, (I got this impression it was an Australian server, but I had good pings there) the aliens won over 5 times in a row, I was aliens over half the time, but over half the time there was still more Marines. It was funny seeing everybody yell at how aliens are too powerful. (The server had normal settings too, unlike most servers nowadays.) If you want to win as alien, there's two things you should know. Coordinated attacks, and constant attacks. The end of it.
Second, the aids thing isn't un-funny because it's a serious issue, it's un-funny because it's a bit overdone, or at least where I come from, even the 'immatures' have their own standards of immaturism. Basically what I'm trying to say is that the world needs less political correctness, and to lighten up a little more.
Oh the world is lightened up. You're just in the wrong part of it! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Comedy is based on suffering, and to exclude one subject matter over another is just not right, either joke about any subject, or no subject at all.

ur laff muscles r controlled by ur subconsciousness which nobody controls. even the ns dev ppl admit the balance problem so whats there to argue about.
I agree that marines should hurt themselves if they fly straight into a wall. But to make it fair the aliens take damage when using a button coz they have to headbutt it.

i think if u hit a jetpackmarine it should implode on his back and set him on fire, or possible smash him uncontrollably against the walls till he respawns. maby both.
Wanna know a way to counter both Heavies and Masquito's(Jet pack marines)?
Become a lerk when third hive is up, and gas the hell outta every marine that you see. If the action gets a little close, just fly to your favorite hole.
Sure, its dirty. But its better than fighting them one on one, hand to hand.

ive killed one person with leap.... not on purpose though. I was leaping over a marine outpost to get to one of my nearby hives and this guy popped up out of nowhere while i was in mid air.

The jetpack is fine as it is. As aliens you must work quickly to have much of a chance to win. If you have such a problem with jetpacks, make it so they can't get jetpacks. Also, by that time you should have two hives, giving you access to Fade and it's acid rocket, which works very good against marines that aren't in heavy armor.
I love eating jetpack marines with the lerk. I like the way alot of them carry Glaunchers, when a clip emptys they shoot away then you chase em biting there arse.
i think lerk should fly like the jetpack is, yes he has wings but every one flys like it is there first day fo flying.
If you look at the laws of physics when using a hmg and a jetpack, surely you would launch your self the opposite direction you are firing, that would be cool. That means it would be really hard to attack unless you land <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
