well then if they get motion tracking then screw stealth, sneak up and ambush with celerity and the marines won't know what hit them.. and the thing about the motion tracking again....it still helps cuz most aliens run around untill a marine is close by which by then the marine already knows most likely the general area of wear the alien is

Once MT is out, silence becomes nearly worthless in classic.
I have played quite a lot MSD as well as SMD machtes and it works nicely.
As soon as the second hive is up u have adren/sof gorges, which can heal nearly permanently and wont die thanks to sof.
Cele/focus fades are really scary.
Onos..... dunno i dont go onos very often.
The only lifeform that suffers from SMD and MSD is the support lerk, witheout regen it is quite hard to spam rines.

Aliens might not use a sens network but they do seem rather keen on putting sens in an important room/node/area. Thats all you can hope for on your average pub.
