<div class="IPBDescription">Need suggested maps.</div> Hi,

Me and a bunch of students are playing on a lan at our school (boarding), we have only the original maps that come with the game. We keep finding that for the amount of people playing (usually 6) we get a totally uneven team. Usually 2 aliens beat 4 marines, baah. Any of you have any good map suggestions for such a small lan game?

Thanks for all suggestions.

Chris

    2 aliens beat 4 marines??

    try Eclipse. ifs a fairly evenly balanced map, or on Hera, let the marines relocate to holoroom for another fair game

    but seriously, you need to get some better marines

    With 4 marines you can nail the aliens at ease!! <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::fade::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/fade.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='fade.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Also stay tuned for the release of NS:Combat. This game mode is designed especially to be balanced with a smaller amount of players. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    One of the reasons you will find regular NS balanced in favour of aliens with few players, is that aliens will get much more resources than marines compared to a 6vs6 game. You can make a deal between you, that marines get a res tower that aliens are not allowed to destroy before they have destroyed the res node in the marine base. Which res tower marines get should be agreed on before play starts. This might help balance out things, but it might also just cause you more trouble...

    Otherwise I recommend playing some of the smaller maps, for instance Eclipse and Nothing. They are quite good for games with few players.

    Well you could post the game online, and get some of us forum goers to join in with you and help you play a bit. If you put a password on it and such, host it, I'm sure you'd get a good game with great people going.

    Sure we'll check out times for the game. We are in Italy so it'll be crazy time changes! So yeah... We'll see. And we don't have internet at dorm so we have to see if we can use the schools internet.

    If you get an IRC client, such as <a href='http://www.mirc.com' target='_blank'>mIRC</a> you can talk to people to arrange a time and place
