Neither are overpowered, the game is balanced very finely. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't been playing with cooperative players or have been playing agaisn't very skilled players. The games balance in general, is very good.

if the aliens get their super big invinceable unstoppable alien the marines havent been doing their job.

The game is balance niceley and relative power depends on how well the marines play.

If the marines are dumb and allow the aliens to get all 3 hives then the aliens have more power, If the marines can hold one hive then its about even with a slight advantage going to marines for things like phase gates, and motion tracking.

If the marines can get the aliens down to one hive its over <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Ya, if the marines can work fast and together from the start and have a good comm, the marines will win alot of the time. Both sides have there advantages and disadvantages but it pretty much all evens out in the big picture.

Powerwise they're both evenly matched. It definitly comes down to skill. The humans second goal of the game (#1 being Defend the home base) should be keep the aliens from getting that 3rd base. Assuming you have a decent team and a good commander if you can keep that 3rd base out of there control then victory is inevitable.

Two+ humans working together with armor/hmg/welders can annihilate most alien threats (course there was that game last night where 5 fades attacked us all together... Run Away!!!)

the teams are balanced.. Whoever has better fighters and builders will win.

There are some issues right now that need to be addressed before you can truly make opinions about balance.

From what I have heard, every weapon that uses the explosive type (grenades, bile bombs) have a bug in regards to damage against structures.

I've also seen a bug in which Siege Cannons do no damage.

Its a bummer that Marine success depends so much on a competent commander. When I'm playing on public servers on the Alien side, its very easy to see if the enemy commander knows what he is doing or not. Even an "average" commander probably isn't good enough to fight a team of "average" alien players.
