<div class="IPBDescription">Worrying And Love The n00b</div> Why are the marines in NS always so dumb ?
I hate going marine, because the commanders are 90% or the time stupid and build 30 turrets in their base with just one turret factory. They never attempt to take a hive, and just generally clueless. Marines HAVE to attack otherwise they get mauled. And why o why do some of the people also not want to go alien. "I dont like playing alien.", even tho the teams are 7 vs 2... FFS lamer **obscenity** n00bs.
Then when you go Commander and tell them to go to a waypoint they just moan and ask for a shottie. Then after 10 mins of messages (I turned off voice comms) you give him the shottie and he dies straight away. 90% of the marines never follow the waypoints, and those that do get eaten and cant get with the plan because nobody will support them. Of course you get ejected by the 5 little **obscenity** that are still in your base asking for a shottie.
bah!!! Playing aliens is a lot nicer. Allthough people that spawn into a Lerks (when you have one hive) all the time are just screwing their team over, if they keep getting killed every minute.
So what I would ask for is that the AI gets a complete overhall, as I am sick of playing as Marine and losing or playing as alien and winning.
But you have to laugh when you see a three man patrol coming your way, and you munch them all. Muahahahahahahahaahahaha!!!!

"We'll meet again... don't konw where... don't know when..."
you never know...
So we still kick their **obscenity** and they come on the boards screaming about how the game is biased and unbalanced. And blabhblablah.
A marine team with more than four brain cells is just as good as any alien team, but aliens are winning far more often because marines just sit in their base crying until their commander gives them a hmg so they can run off and get killed and not follow waypoints or do anything for the team.
Funny how the NS team removed the marines scores and no the aliens ones eh, cus they knew what most marines would be like.
I love nothing better than eating some newbie marine with a hmg or a shotty as a skulk and watching him go "WTF OMG HAX" and leaving after i've killed him 5 times because he can't cope with the fact that hes got a gun and yet I killed HIM.
There are some very skilled and very good marines out there as there are alien players, but atm your average joe marine just hasn't got over that fact this is counter-strike yet.
Happy hunting, Mark
Marines are in fact more difficult to master than Aliens. Before you go nuts, hear me out.
While its a bit tough to get used to playing as a alien, pretty much everyone can build or attack as they see fit. Teamwork is always required to get that last hive, but its also possible to do it with only a few skilled alien players.
On the marines side, however, the commander is absolutely critical, as I am sure you know. Whe you play with a skilled comm AND(plz mind the AND) you have a team that listens and doesnt just beg for armor and bigger guns and ammo all the time, the marines are damned near unstoppable, even against the best alien teams.
All of you that think otherwise just havent been in a good game yet.
Infact, it requires MUCH MORE skills to play marines than to play aliens. And the one guy that must be good is the commander. If he sucks the marines already lost. If marines dont get orders, lose their faith in their commander they just roam about trying to harrass aliens but fail coz <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> pwnz <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> .

Actually, one competent lmg marine is FAR superior to a competent skulk. A skulk MUST take the marine by suprise to have a chance at all. Of course this is assuming these players are complete idiots.
I agree with this, with a competant marine team that travels in packs that make even surprise attacks nearly useless. Skulk rushes at the start are becoming less and less effective to slowing the marines down. Marines are starting to aim better and know where are favorite hiding places are also making suprise attacks less effective.
HEY before you reply to me saying i am bad at skulking and i should get better. I AGREE. Help me become a better skulk!
"if you are new you should try marine first"
but yeh generally the marines lose cuz of either a. crappy marines or b. crappy commander
but intelligent marines generally slaughter novice aliens
+ aliens are more self sufficant
like 1 alien could slaughter 15 marines so if aliens has noobs then its usually less noticable
Its usually the other teams determination that gets their hives back, not the faults of a commander.
We dutifully ran through the corridors back to the phase gate expecting an ammo dump to need building or some health packs or something in return for our efforts. To find that he had sent us there to take out <b>fade !</b> with our trusty penknifes.
Well, I follow orders and immediately engaged the fade in melee combat with my team-mate moving round the side to corner the **obscenity**. Things got worse after we respawned!!!
<b>Commanders -</b> talk to your troops - let them know your awake.
<b>Troops - </b>follow orders. Assist your commanders descision making - once he decides its final though.
<b>Aliens - </b>remember to stand very still in plain sight without moving - this confuses the marines and no harm will come of you. Honest.
that should even up the sides <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
