So, seeing as these forums don't have a poll option, I'll just tally the votes as they come in.

All you have to do is vote for Marines or Aliens for your favourite race in the Natural Selection universe, preferably with a short reason for why you like them.

EG:
<!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->Kharaa (aliens): because they seem to have a more diverse team which are usually much more fun to play with<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

    there will be alien commanders, so you can be a slace to the hivemind too :)

    if it's anything like NS1, then i'll be alien.. but still playing 50% of the time marines just because they where just soo cool to play

    Aliens - Because they have way more options for single and group combat where you can change between your battle-style.

    But for me it's mostly 50/50. Marines are awesome, too.

    Aliens - Because of fade.

    Marines, cause they have the guns

    Aliens.

    They're hunters. At it's best moments, stalking a marine and killing him before he sees you...
    Never had an adrenaline rush like that before in another game.

    I like guns, so it looks like Im going to be killing aliens.
  • yourbonesakinyourbonesakin Join Date: 2005-08-06 Member: 57682Members
    Aliens. More difficult to omg-wtf-pwn with. And a LOT more fun to do so with. Also, more interesting in general. I like the wall climbing and gliding provided.

    Marines.

    I've seen Aliens too many times :]
  • ClinkClink Join Date: 2009-06-07 Member: 67728Members
    Marines.

    I need direction and structure in my life.
  • DelphicDelphic Join Date: 2006-11-02 Member: 58262Members
    Marines... I need an outlet for my aggression.

    (... the mild feeling of panic as you realise all your nearby team mates are dead... you hear the sound of approaching skulks... you grip your trusty shotgun and hope you can get through this...)
  • Racer1Racer1 Join Date: 2002-11-22 Member: 9615Members
    Definitely aliens.

    If I want a human fps, there are hundreds of those.
    If I want to be climbing through vents, spitting out chambers, and slamming through doors, ns is the only place to be :)

    Aliens.

    There's nothing that really compares to ambushing marines with a friend.
  • PhiXXPhiXX Join Date: 2008-10-22 Member: 65274Members
    Aliens.

    'cause I just love the taste of marines... and because i think the gameplay on alienside is uniqe :D

    In NS1, I loved playing marines when there was a good commander that kept you interested. If the commander was no good, I'd much rather be playing aliens. I guess in the end I played 50/50...maybe a little more aliens, but when I knew a good commander was playing, I'd always try to join marines. But if I HAD to say one way or the other, I'd say aliens.
  • LordSethLordSeth Join Date: 2010-01-28 Member: 70340Members, Reinforced - Shadow
    Im quite 50/50 but ofc I allways loved being the Commander over all
    It's just so cool to order your team member around. Especially on a LAN where you:
    1. Know everyone
    2. You can really play some strategies, especially some of those which would never be possible in a online ffa match because you can just punish the idiot who ruined your masterplan xD
  • SwiftspearSwiftspear Custim tital Join Date: 2003-10-29 Member: 22097Members
    I'm voting marines...

    However, I'll add, the reason marines are fun is BECAUSE of aliens. If this game wasn't set up as melee vs ranged the way it is, neither side would be nearly so fun to play in my opinion. It's FUN to shoot skulks one after another as they swarm in and rush you, and then OFUCALERKONMYHEAD

    My fav for play leans towards the Kharra, though I do like commanding.

    I like playing aliens because I like different methods of killing the other team, rather than the normal FPS features.
  • TadModTadMod Join Date: 2010-01-08 Member: 69987Members
    This now puts the tally at
    Marines: 10
    Aliens: 11

    Aliens.

    a unique, harmonizing, social, united, skilled, entity with no central nerve system, or singular body for that matter, a single gigantic telepathic blob of bacteria forming mere tools of murder and destruction that are mistaken for species. nothing is lost, nothing is wasted, nothing is forgotten or ignored.

    I wish humans were linked like that.

    also its something new and refreshing aside from the titles spawned by the "STANDARD FPS Cloning Machine".

    Marines because, even though all of our guns are nerfed.. we still have a knife.
