<div class="IPBDescription">Anyone else think they are gimped?</div> Hey all, Myschef here...

does anyone think the aliens are gimped?

i mean, the rines get guns, jps, ha, turrets, pgs, etc, etc

the aliens however get nerfed every patch, first its take away spikes, then it gimp the acid rocket...

cant you just even it out, not meaning to be an Ahole, but the sides are pretty uneven.

you guys are doing ood job, and people are actually joining the alien side now, thats the only major problem i can think of... keep up good work and please try to even the sides a bit more <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    1) you misspelled your own nickname lol
    2) if you play aliens right (hit and run) you'll last a fairly long time..... though marines with armor 3 is a pain in the **** :x

    but in my opinion aliens could use a tad boost in late game "firepower" department

    EDIT: by late game i mean..... there isn't really a NEED for a 3rd hive.... all aliens could be comfortable with 2nd hive and just end the game...... 3rd hive abilities are pretty junkish save for xenocide and web...... that and your last chamber....

    ...and the extra efficiency of armor.

    On pubs, I've still played on alien teams that win quite a bit. I'm guessing that marines would be overbearing on pugs and clan matches.

    I'd also imagine, going just by paper, that marines with nearly perfect aim and a good commander would consistently beat the snot out of equally godlike kharaa. Though that's hardly the case on pubs.

    Mysch. You should really play in a clan or try a scrim with clans. It isn't imbalanced. This is nearly the most balanced build yet to be honest...

    The way it is now, they might as well remove the acid rocket. Serves no good but to take out mines.

    Hell, a gorge spit does more damage than the acid rocket now...

    Yup...they should've gone the other way with the acid rocket...cut the fire rate in half and double the damage and increase the splash-damage slightly again...

    Yeah, the only usage i've seen acid rocket have done is to blow away mines now :/

    I don't think it even has splash damage anymore.
    The mines don't blow unless I give them a direct hit.

    There is a whole shiny forum dedicated to the discussion of beta builds. Use it.
