Marine vs Marine mode?

I know this sort of goes against the purpose of the game, but marine vs marine combat is really something that should be considered. I'm not saying it should replace anything, just something nice to have as an option or mod, so I was wondering if this might be something that has been discussed already? With marine vs marine I think it would draw in more pure shooter fans as well as create a nice playing field for competitive play. No need for balancing two sides and it really puts extra emphasis on the skill based fps side of the game.

    Your logic: Asymmetry=No competitive play, and takes no fps skills to play.

    McGlespie was working on the MvM mode. He has put it on the back-burner for a bit while NS2 code settles down, but if you do a search in the Modding forum, you will find some info.

    There were a number of issues he was having to figure out though, balance mainly. When he decides to get back to work on it, you'll see it fairly quickly I'm sure :)

    Wow that's not what I said at all, but thanks for the thoughtful post.

    Good to hear, I hope something like that really takes off.
