I was playing on Nancy the other day as aliens and we were doing very well. We managed to get all three hives and started attacking the marine base. Now for the whole game the marines hadn't been very offensive and still had lmgs and no armor.
Now the problem comes in that we are assaulting their base destroying everything and they kil one of our hives in a full on rush (it wasn't well defended and noone could get to it in time). No problem since their main base was 75% dead right? wrong.
The marines had spent all those unused resources in building 2 other bases complete with command chairs, 3 spawn portals in each, massive turret farms with multiple factories. One of these was in our hive.
So basically for the next 3 hours (yes three) we had to assault these two massive bases as they would constantly respawn, repair, rebuild, and what not.
With the 6 spawn portals their spawn time was next to nothing.
However we could do nothing against so many marines/turrets despite our tries (we were outnumbered 5 to 7 and they wouldn't balance)
In the end after some people on both sides left we finally overpowered them when they spent all their resources trying to build siege cannons and getting HA/HMGs.
However this game went on for 3 hours and it was a slaughter. Our team had 300kills and 78 deaths with the marines having 42kills and 300or so deaths.
In all given the fact that we were slaughtering the marines left and right something just doesn't seem right about the lenght of this game.
I'm not really sure what my point is, and I enjoyed the game because it was a good fight, but it went on for 3 hours despite the continued efforts of all the aliens who just could not crack a defense where the marines would respawn every 2 seconds and they could afford many turret farms.
