My brother and i were chatting about the game and how even after a round is over and aliens marines have one you still wana keep progressing. Well if any modders could take on the challenge or if itd would be possible this game in an mmo style wnviroment or sandbox where marines and aliens could compete on a larger scale with more players would be really neat and maybe bring a whole new element to the game if it could be done. Just a dream but hey its worth a shot asking thanx guys!

Sounds like the game you are looking for is <a href="http://www.planetside2.com/" target="_blank">Planetside 2</a>. I recommend checking that out.
First you start in the Ocean because the aliens are actually a form of bacterium
Sound a lot like spore. . .
A victory in one location would mean that section would be under the control of whomever won.
Later if the battle came back to a location under one sides control, they could start with a slight bonus (resources, an extra building or two, etc)
I guess a bit like DOW soulstorm if anyone has played that.
+1, especially with the current requirements to get a server running at a decent perf% with the current amount of players, having a server run upwards of hundreds of players at once on a much larger map seems a bit near impossible on the current engine.
<i>However</i>, if anyone remembers the MMORPG-esque maps in Warcraft 3 TFT which had savable characters (I forget the name of any of them, but you could load your old characters through a long string entered in chat) and were played in relatively short time-frames (games would run for about an hour before closing), something like that could be possible in NS2. Gameplay wise would need to be sorted out, but if it's possible on the age old WC3 engine, I'd hope it's possible on the Spark engine.
