<div class="IPBDescription">which do u prefer?</div> Ok, is it just me or do marines always have more players then the alien team on public servers? I actually prefer to play as alien, its more of a challenge and more satisfying.
Anyway I was wondering which species everyone prefers playing with and why?

I find marines more challenging, (you have to work as a TEAM!!) and therefore a marine victory is sweeter.
I'd go marines sometimes if my connection wasnt **** but only cos it'd be funny to shoot a gorge.
Ill gorg if i get chance and we normaly win when i do heh (not allways). but i rarly get to comm. i found it to much work without setting up a new config for comm so it all key's.
I say we normaly win, but its proberly more cause the humans have a poor comm than my skill lol.
I have played some realy good games when the comm actualy tells us what he doing but other wise humans suck :/
Seem to stick to marines when i attack them, they carry on moving while im stuck then by the time im unstuck im toast :/ altho it doesnt happen with lerk/fade must be something to do with the skulk climbing on my pc :/
Even if both teams have experienced players I still like to play aliens because I can have an influence on the game all by myself:
- I can parasite marines so my team can see them while marines must work to together and then convince the commander to get motion tracking which is also expensive. Parasite costs nothing.
- I can destroy a resource a lot easier and quicker than a marine can because I'm faster and more agile.
- I can ambush eaiser than a marine because I can use walls ceilings and crawlspaces.
- I can also just ward marines off from an area. The only time marines are able to ward off aliens is if they already established structures there like mines, turrets, armories, and phase gates or in a large group. That's not as neccesary for aliens.
- Teamwork is twice as deadly when aliens use it since they don't need it as much as marines do.
Basically I feel that when I jump into a game theres more of a chance that I can make a difference on the alien team than on the marine team. If your commander sucks and your team is not grouping there's not much you can do to turn the tide. On aliens if the gorges suck its bad but not as bad.
Most of time I like the teamwork aspect of the marines but you cant get good at one side without spending a lot of time as the other
