<div class="IPBDescription">alien vs marine</div> When I played 1.04, marines were almost always stacked and they were the best team, they could win very easily with a 2 hive-lockdown. this easy victory made it almost boring to play as them more often than not. Being alien made the game much more interesting, we learned to work together to break lockdowns and when we did win, it was a big deal!
Now in 2.0 I started off playing aliens but i soon noticed its so easy to win now,. Aliens are always stacked again opposite of 1.04. its the same easy win the marines had in 1.04---reversed. I started to get bored with them so I tried marines, at first I was losing every game because I was so inexperienced. I became a better aimer now and I started comming and now I can pull off some wins as marines. Its very rewarding to command a game to victory from the start. From all you so called 'good' players who play alien exclusively, were you always alien players? or did you just pick up on that the alien side is better so you always play for the easy win? 1.04 the good players always stacked marines. in 2.0 good players always stack aliens. its just not fair to the rest of the players on the server when you got an unbalanced game with good players team stacking the most powerful side. if anything, it should be the other way around.

Yes 1.04 was great fun as aliens....... so exciting running around for 95 percent of the game as a skulk. If the marines didn't actually let you get a second hive up and go fade (this is the 5 percent of the game you spend as a non skulk before you win do to the overpowered 1.04 fade) then you ended up spending 100 percent of the game as a skulk. w00t!!

Why would anyone want to play on a team that they were almost guaranteed to lose on? Sure it might be more sporting to go marines if your good, but it is never fun to lose no mater how sporting you are.
It's funner to have a guaranteed win that a guaranteed loss, but theoretical yes your right. If all the good players are on marines and all the bad players on aliens marines might win..... but they will probably end of looseing anyway if their happens to be a few average players on the aliens team.
When good players stack 'rines, 'rines win.
Yes your right, kind of sad that it takes team stackage of good players for marines to win.
me as 1.04 <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> + ownage
youd be surprised how hard mine lock downs were to pull off, and pretty much nothing else worked cept maybe a jp lockdown.
I Disagree with that statement. I try to have fun with the game even losing. You can still make it fun. I mean its not like anything is at stake. I have to say its much more fun to be losing as marine than alien. Atleast with marine you still have to option of big guns. If you are getting stomped as alien you dont have enough res to do much except rush out and die.
When 2.0 finally came out, it was coolness incarnate. I literally sat and giggled during most of my matches. I played marines a bit more just to see what was new, but still didn't like having to wait patiently for the comm to hand out the toys. After a while I saw stacking occur on the kharaa team, but I didn't mind. I told myself: "I stood by the kharaa in their darkest hours, I <b>deserve</b> to play 'em now." I still think so, but it's starting to get boring winning most of the time and knowing that it has nothing to do with my skills. I might look into playing the marines more, simply for the challenge (and after all, the GL is pretty cool).
