Suggestion!

I think it will be cooler if you start to play as marine(everyone can´t do that obviously), because then you get to see the aliens attacking you before you see them as them your friends so it will be much scarier I think. I´m gonna do that anyway

There are two aliens that I don´t think I´ve ever seen in a screenshot, I think it is lvl 3s and 4s.But now I dont really want to see them because it will make it more of a surprise when I play for the first time.

    It's indeed adviseable to first play marines - they're much closer to your average FPS gameplay and can thus be learned more easily.

    I'm by the way almost sure you've seen lvl3 and 4 - they're the two main attackclasses, after all.

    there's a reason lerk and fade aren't in screenshots as much as the others: You die fast by them. You're usually too busy pinning the area with suppressing fire to worry about screenshots of them. :P

    but there are plenty of shots out there if you look around...

    Fade, especially, is in just about every other screenshot with aliens. Or so it seems.

    The screenies (IMHO) are divided into three sections: Marine Base, Marine in alien base, marine fighting aliens somewhere. And the third section almost always has a fade somewhere.

    also called by their level # sometimes too. i.e. "two incoming level4's...". at least I still do it, out of habit. But I mean really if you say incoming flier or builder, people are gonna know who you're talking about.

    Ok then I probably mean lvl 2s and 3s then, I don´t think Ive seen a flier in a screen(lvl 3 right?) and I can only count 3 aliens that Ive seen plus the builders.

    I can't actually remember ever seeing a level 3 in an ingame shot either...I guess he's always perched up somewhere dive bombing marines below <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    There are a couple. Check out readyroom.org and see check out some of the links to other NS sites they got posted. I am pretty sure it shows fades and lerks in the trailer too, if you look close enough.
