My favorite team is the Kharaa because they're dependent (sorta) on stealth. I love ambushing marines with vents and hollow areas in the ceiling. It's just so win... My favorite class(es) is skulk, lerk and fade. Never really liked the gorge, but he's cool too.

    Yeah, I like the aliens better because it's more of a challenge. It's so satisfying when you manage to sneak up and kill a few marines as skulk. It's also just more fun moving around the map and ducking in and out of vents.

    so your favourite classes in alien are skulk, lerk and fade? lol thats like me saying my favourite marine weapon is a gun..

    if we narrow it down to a specific item i'd say my favourite aspect of the game is being a marine comm. Only if the team actually follow waypoints that is.

    Marines for me.

    I like the military aspect and I like to shoot stuff.

    Alien commander.

    I build my stuff witout having to nurse the other team members (like marine commanders do) and I am the eye and the ear of the team whyle the team is my eye and my ear.

    I am on the one hand independent and can build my stuff without any help and on the other hand dependent of a groge who maintains the buildings and lifeforms.

    summary:
    It's the duality which I like of the alien commander :-)

    clearly alien. Unique feeling no other fps has. I love it :)

    Personally i like marine the most.
    I do like the unique feeling of the Kharaa, but melee just isn't my style. I point at stuff and make it dead. Like a wizard, but with guns.
    Can you imagine if a wizard had to run up and bite people before casting? They'd be dead before they managed to say frost bolt. Not that they could say that with their mouth full either way...
    That's pretty much how well I do when playing melee characters.

    Marine is more fun, it's always fun to fire guns and try to improve your aim and not having to have an ugly yellow nightvision on all the time.

    I'm not saying aliens isn't fun though.

    I'd have to say Aliens. Their movement is more interesting and they aren't your a-typical standard shooter classes. It comes across as having more options to me.

    Marine because nothing beats stabbing aliens with bullets.

    Alien because of the gorge (well not the current very limited gorge), and mobility. Probably 80%+ I will play alien.

    Sometimes Marine because you work more closely as a team and it can be more thrilling than playing aliens. I don't really like the feel of marine weapons and I'm so bad at shooting because of lag and low fps so usually end up not being much help to the team.

    It came out wrong by saying that my favorite classes as alien is skulk, lerk and fade. Honestly, I mostly play as skulk, and I enjoy it.

    gorge - I absolutely loves ns gorges ability to build everything. I still love gorge in ns2 but I am sad I cannot play a full game as one anymore due to lack of utility.

    Skulks are fun too, my most fav maps are one with vents and I love to use vents and sneak around above marines.. It is so much fun!

    I love playing kharaa, they are very unique and have a completely different playstyle to the other fps games out there.

    i also like alien comm best! also multiple comms work better on alien side in my experience, if the others
    are not completely jerks.

    I always say "I wanna go Marines, but they're full..." and then end up saying "I love being a Skulk." Honestly, I don't think I have a preferred side.

    Skulk us just cool. I will never forget how i killed 3 Marines at SA just by sneaking around on the celling and dit not took damage.
    It was a moment you wish you had recorded it...
    Best melee gameplay (after NS1) I ever had!
