<div class="IPBDescription">Brace yourself, here it comes.</div> "BLah BLah isn't fair because the [aliens/marines] don't have a counterpart."

It is the differences in the 2 teams that makes this game so awesome. If you want everyting the same go play some Vannilla CTF. There you can have all the excitement of 2 teams differing only in Model Color, playing on a flipped map, chasing a silly little flag. Everything will be exactly the same and you can all spam rockets at eachother until your faces clear up!

    It's not about every team having the <b>same things</b> (in different colours <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->) but having - as you said - a counterpart. Meaning a "part that can counter" a special thing/ability the other team has.

    For ex. to counter a cloaked ghost in SC (marking for a nuclear-missle) you have "Scanner sweep" (Human), "Overlords" (Zerg) or "Observer" (Protoss) + any fighting unit. This way you <b>counter</b> the "mega-weapon" nuclear-missle...

    And I think that is a point to be considered in NS too.

    I see a lot of people b-itch and moan on servers when teams are even in number - Marines claim they should get an extra player since one of theirs is the Commander (unneccessary since he can jump out of the chair if needed plus he can supply any Marine in need, etc), and the Aliens claim that their Gorge is one player who can't fight (also untrue for obvious reasons).

    The teams are made to be even in number. That's it. None of this "one team needs an advantage" crap.

    Checks and balances are fine but do we need an Alien Siege Chmber? No. Do we need an Alien Commander? No. This is one case where seperate but equal is fine and in most cases perfered. We do not need anything that duplicates exactly something on the other side.

    lol, fades and sieges

    they are the counters (once fades work)

    Fades deal more DMG faster then a siege, and they are esier to set up out side of a mrine base

    Sieges and fire through walls, but can only target strcts

    there you go, most of them do have some sort of counter part ;D

    Perfect example. Fades balance sieges and they are completely different. Thats one of the things that makes this Mod Great!

    Yea there is nothing more annoying then...even the teams...when it's 11 on 10 and the marines have 11. It's already pretty even...sieges suck...ok, rush the TF. I swear...learn to play or don't play. My marines have been doing well working together and following orders. When you play an alien, have fun, go rambo, help the team, evole into something cool and scary and go slice and dice. Just because your losing this one time on this one map in this one server does not mean the game is unbalanced or screwd up.
