**obscenity**

<div class="IPBDescription">Marines are the complete Underdog!</div> Is there any way to win with marines?
I mean I spent a long **obscenity** time creating this base, good base, awsome I even had a second one going for backup, while the aliens were taking the hives, we had 250 around that area of resources, and I was bombarding the hell out of one of their hives. Then guess what onos, I had armor, I had a heavy machine gun, so I kill them, next 5 secs their back. ONOS suck they **obscenity** me off, way to much hp, to easy to make, hell marines are not independent they are dependent on their comm, but guess what a commander can not handle everything. You need more than 1 commander, you should be able to have at least 2 and then more if there are a lot of players. The marines depend so much on the commander who is working with one resource amount. while the aliens have their own independent and will to be what ever you want. I mean don't get me wrong I like the game ,but trust me to get a good commander is a crock of **obscenity**. Pure and simple. Marines need to multi-task. And Onos need more time to make or evolve. Not every player can get armor, and a hmg, Upgrading those guns cost alot, not only that distributing it to all the marines its impossible with large size groups. Oh and the siege weapons, sometimes they don't even fire at all, even when the factory is up and running, whats the deal the marines are made to lose with the onos, and the basic machine gun dear lord that thing is a fisher price toy really! All i'm trying to state is maybe the marines need more commanders, onos need to take longer time to make, because getting three hives is not hard. The game is bias toward the aliens. I have been the alien they have all the advantages. Their ability to build turrets everywhere is unmatchable. They create barriers. Is a wall of **obscenity** out there shooting at you. Summary: UNBALANCE, and don't tell me you need a good commander, good commander my **obscenity**, even if they were there aren't enough of them. <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo-->
P.S. Just for kicks make the knife stronger. I love that weapon. Works better than the fisher price toys. Sorry for my language ,but i didn't read the rules so i don't even know if it is allowed I mean who read the rulse their to big!!!!!

    Oh by the way, I been reading some posts, and I saw people saying that to win you need a strong teamwork. DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Yes, teamwork does rule and all will go great if that ever EXISTED! People are SELFISH! SELFISH! I'm SELFISH! YOU are SELFISH! MY MOM is SELFISH! And don't tell me that you aren't selfish cause guess what, everybody is in this world are SELFISH! Maybe there could be teamwork but not everybody is going to pitch in, in the game, you got your lonewolfs, you got arrogant players, you got people who have no Idea how to play, and don't tell me to get into a game with no noobs, THERE IS ALWAYS A NOOB! We as humans do not live with peacefully with each other, if that was true we wouldn't have conflict we all the **obscenity** middle east countries! So that is pretty much it. IF i think of anything else I'll post it here, even if it is a new topic. <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo-->
    P.S. Just for kicks maybe you can make the basic rifles look like fisher price toys it be tons of laughs.

    The game is supposed to be balanced at a two-hive state. Meaning, the Marines have one of them secured. Meaning, the Aliens can't get Onos. Three-Hive abilities are GAME ENDERS. You don't want to deal with them. Honest. And you SHOULDN'T HAVE TO, if you were a competent Commander and didn't turtle up inside your base to try and get up the tech tree.

    Marines fight the same fight against three-Hive aliens as Aliens do at one-hive against fully-upgraded Marines. Or they're supposed to. Honestly, Marines have an ADVANTAGE when they're at the top of their tech tree against two-hive Aliens.

    Short answer. Stop whining, stop swearing, and <b>learn to play the game</b>.


    Darwin, easy lunch here.

    Good point, but i'm usually not the commander. And I try so hard to follow orders. The only time I was commander was at a nice 2 people game with my friend to learn the game couple days ago. I been playing in many different servers. Marines GET WOOP!. Hard! ANALLY! I seen marines get the advantage and lose everything in minutes. All it takes is those stupid onos. Preventing the third hive is a hot spot the aliens wanted so bad they will brake through eventually. As long as the aliens keep attacking resources which is the key to winning and they don't have to wait for their commander and they don't have to wait for their resources to reach so they can make a res, not only that is protection. Turrets cost a lot man. Protection is not easy is very expensive. I played starcraft and I relate this game very close to it cause c'mon its pretty much the same. I'm tired so I want write all that i want maybe later. Oh by the way I live in Texas and cussing is pretty much the language here. So pardon my Swahili.

    3 Hives = Aliens win
    2 Hives = Even game
    1 Hive = Marines win

    Most people who can speak without **obscenities** seem to agree on this pattern.

    If (# of people complaining marine side is too powerful = # of people complaining alien side is too powerful)
    THEN game = balanced

    Looks pretty close. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    If people are complaining about balance issues, then there is a balance issue. No exceptions. Doesn't matter if both sides are complaining. And doesn't matter which side has the most or the least people complaining, as long as there is one you got yourself a problem. And plus most of this is to help the makers of this wonderful little mod, to think how to make the game better. I just posting my opinion, and for that i'm being attacked. (Feels like i'm on trial for my beliefs)

    You can post your opinion, but LISTEN to the replies. Others have very likely posted the SAME feelings, so look for the 'Search' button and read those threads first.

    Circumventing the anti-swear filter can get you a rebuke, or even banned Bixen. I'd suggest editing your post and fixing that s**t before a moderator notices.

    And no. If people are complaining about a balance issue.. people ALWAYS will WHINE if they suck. Some raise valid points, but most just don't know how to play the frickin' game. You have bad Commanders? LEARN TO PLAY COMMANDER. YOU can fix that pretty easily. Duh. Don't want to? Then that's your choice, LIVE WITH IT. Don't whine about how it's not fair, when YOU could fix it. You just don't want to.


    Show a little spine, boy. Otherwise the Xenos'll do it FOR you. Darwin, demonstrate.

    I'm locking this thread, because a) it's been brought up <i>several</i> times already (use search, for chrissake!) b) I can't even start to delete all those doubleposts. Please, if you've got something additional to say, use edit.
