<div class="IPBDescription">I mean really....</div> Today I tried to attack a marine, and he flew away and kept on shooting me.
I don't care if its balanced or not, I just know it pisses me off to high hell when I'm a skulk about to nab a marine and he flies away <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
They should make it so the marine can hit his head on the ceiling and take damage, then fall to the floor unconscious(taking more damage), allowing me say grace and pop open a fine wine before I chow down on him

Don't forget to use Leap and Wall Climbing to chase after him... or just go hide and wait for him to come around a corner or something.

nah, just have them impaled upon the horn, and stay there and take extra damage whenever the Onos hits anything else. Also, have them stackable, so you could have 5 marines stuck on your head. You then have the option of running back to your base and go for the humiliation kill by letting your gorgs kill them with heal spray or the acid shot while they all squirm on the horn calling for med packs and cursing.

ROFLMAO!
I can just see that in my minds eye!
As I walk around from now on chuckling (bound to "." <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> ) I will have to give out links to this thred to explane why I laugh so much <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
oh mad I'm going to have to stop drinking befor I ever play onos again!
ROFL
i know as a marine, its annoying to fly up and hit stuff, especially when you cant get out of range of your own grenades!! (such a huge blast radius)
best strategy is to leap to get close, then switch to bite.
Now you're just being cheeky <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Marine- "WTF?! I've been raped!"
Alien- "Haha, foolish human! You now have 10 years to live!"
Marine- "NOOOOOO!"
Alien- "Muwahahaha!"
ahh yes, you have just demonstrated why the marines should use jetpacks!!
And...if they have jetpacks, why are you a skulk?! By that time, you should be fades or onos's.
Jesus, why can't you just play the damn game without whining?
LMG - "omg, it's not fair to have such an automatic at the beginning of the game!"
Shotgun - "omg, that that thing can kill one hit!1"
HMG - "That thing can totally rape our bases!1"
Welder - "omg, all that damage I did for nothing!1"
Medpack - "I almost killed him, and he gets healed like that?!"
Ammo - "Infinite ammo for their automatics?! wtf!"
Armor - "omg, it's impossible to kill them as skulks!1"
Jetpack - "I can't reach them, wtf !!"
Grenade Launcher - "gren whore!!"
Turrets - "No fair, can't kill them!1"
Advanced Turrets - "That thing can pierce through walls, wtf!1"
Turret Factory - "omg too easy to build!1"
Resource Tower - "omg too hard 2 keel!1"
Armory - "Even more infinite ammo?!1 Don't even have to reload?!1"
Advanced Armory - "Advanced Armory WHORE! OMG!" - Okay, so I never heard that one yet, so sue me.
Phase Gate - "No fair, they just don't stop coming!1"
etc etc blah blah.
There's a lot about the aliens I heard unfair too, bile bombs, onos in general, gorge healing, towers everywhere, rushing, defense towers healing buildings, and most of the alien upgrades too.
So sad. If everything got changed that everyone wanted changed, this game simply wouldn't be fun anymore.
the people who whine like that want in their hearts to play Quake3 (or better UT on instagib), where everyone is equal in all ways and all you do is run around killing each other. I normally suggest to them that they go do so and promptly start ignoring them.
When I first started reading the forums most of the people were very mature, and I was pretty happy about that. Now it is people whining, not offering constructive critisim, just crying like a little school girl about everything. People are making jokes about AIDS, a huge epidemic that has / will take millions of lives.
It's to bad that people can't think more.
it really pisses me off that we have kids like u who really think it is smart saying such a lame thing, even more so when someone replys with roflmao.
grow up :/
The worst ppl are the ones that cant notice that some stuff is wrong. WTF Fade Affe, so what you are saying is that it is fine to have a multiplayer game where one team is loaded with tons of guns and explosives and the other is kitted out with 1 pocket knife. Why dont you go play some singleplayer game where you have a mass advantage over the enemy. Multiplayer games should be equal for both sides, doesnt have to be the same stuff for each sides to be like that. Yes i can imagine it would be hard to create a online game where 1 team is very different to the other but giving them both equal chances of winning.
What i can see is the ppl that whine are the ppl that play aliens alot either cos they like the idea of them or they want to keep teams fair. The ppl that play marines whine about the ppl that play aliens cos they dont want to end up with a real challenge.
The ppl that swamp the marine team probably wouldnt mind if the game was made to a coop game were the aliens were just bot controled (with good ai, although some prob couldnt care less if they just ran into walls as long as they could get an easy kill).
Another thing is, why dont you play aliens and stop joining marines. I cant wait for auto team balance.
As for the marines having stronger weapon than aliens, it's a bit true, but if you don't let them get to much money, you'll have you're onos before they get a full HA-HMG squad. Also it cost about the same for the marine team to have a HA-HMG marine than you to get an upgraded Fade., and a fight between a Fade and a HA-HMG is quite even (I'll even say it's to the aliens advantage). Onos have paralyse, which really help to kill those HA marines (Charge time!). Lower level aliens are weaker, but they are specialized and they don't cost the same amount of ressouces as well
For the jet packs, I find it a bit "overpowered". IMO it has a better reaction and control than the lerk flying(which is "innate", I'm not sure marine where perfectly in control of their jetpacks). I'd also like that the jetpack energy drop faster if the marine has a heavy weapon (maybe it's already the case but I'm not sure). Heavy weapon drawback are supposed to be the slow speed, but the jetpack negates that drawback.
For the rest it's very well balanced. At the moment it seems difficult for aliens, but it's just because marines strategies are easier to pull out.
Enjoy the best GAME Ever!
and the AIDS thing was a funny one-liner. I'm sorry if someone you know has AIDS or something, but to expect everyone in the world to be all hush-hush-don't-go-there about it is immature. Sometimes its the most serious things that need to be laughed at.
And besides, like they said on that episode of southpark, "AIDS is finally funny!" <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

Just try to understand where they are coming from. Many upon many people die of AIDS every day. They see this, then a joke about it. I think you get it.
However, it also was a joke and they could've taken it a lil lighter.
Okay. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I don't know if its a bug or thought to be like that. But sometimes if you get hit by leap attack your life drops realy fast like your dead in 2 or 3 secs.
