this is very random, i know.
but... how come you guys still havnt
made it so that there arent 4 people in the
waiting room, waiting for someone else to join aliens?
the game will never make retail if you have one side that
truly sucks. give them an accurate firing weapon
or something for aliens sake.
MAYBE i havnt played the game enough, ill admit.
but this was happening in the first beta.
the aliens need some MAJOR help.
noone in their right mind would play
on a team without projectile (lead) weapons.
and dont give me some horse ninny about
exploding gastric juices.
patience is for RPGs, not first person shotoers.
just a thought.
flame me if you want.
you probably will.
those who do should move off-world.
a VERY cool concept for a game. minus the non-sophisticated aliens.

Well, I guess this post shows that clearly you haven't been playing around experienced aliens. Like you said before, and no I'm not flaming. Aliens are pretty easy to win with when the team cooperates. New alien players tend to go off and do their own thing, basically for their own benefit not the team. Aliens don't need guns to be good. Any person who knows how to use aliens and easily take out 2 LA/HMG'ers. Its not about the weapons, like stated before, its about how familiar and skilled you are with the aliens. A lot of new people take to marines because it's easier to play as marines, even recommended you play as a marine first if you're new to the game.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Kharaa could use some beefing, mostly in the Hive 3 ablities area, but for the most part they are fine.

I don't think he's a troll. It's probably another new player very much concerned with the game balance of this mod.... From a new player's point of view.
Its a relativly nice troll, and he may not realize its a troll, but its still a troll.
i guess i havnt found enough servers were people
cooperate. thanks for the responses guys. im not
a total idiot.. although my post makes me out to be one.
i still think that majority speaks when i come into a server and
all those random people are watching me,
and waiting for me to join aliens.
again, thanks for the intelligent responses.
aliensmightnotbesobad.
and to the last poster..."@nthony"
infinity? you have no clue where that is sir.
because you wouldnt have gotten a chance to post in
this thread had i gone that far. i was being serious.
albeit exaggerating, you are being facetious.
if i need a laugh i can always come back to your post.
No, thier not. In fact, get used to them, use a bit of teamwork, and you'll wipe the floor with the marines.
Now register with a real name, and perhaps we'll take your posts more seriously <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I think it's a funny name.
so, my suggestion is: that's ok, keep playing (and waiting in line for) marine... case closed...
"aliensmightnotbesobad."

i ALWAYS join the team that is in need. never do i resort to to
joining the marines over the losing aliens. and yes i have been
playing this game long enough to see that nothing has changed.
if the aliens had the ability to rely on the relative skill of one
person controlling a bunch of drones.... (marines) then sure,
i think the game would be balanced. but its impossible to say that
until these things are adressed. at this point the game reminds me of
a biased society relying on its differences to make a difference.
troll is wrong, more like orge or gorge.
Aliens are not weak. They are difficult. New players are encouraged (rightly so) to stick with the marines until they get used to things. That's why there's so much stacking. Personally, I don't think it's such a problem. Marine is just a better place to get a grasp on things, because your personal failings are downplayed, while your accomplishments bring much greater rewards.
if you rember that nothing in nature moves in a straight line, rines may have a hard time hitting you.
your just not used to them, get used to ailens and trust me, they would defenataly overpower rines. give things time and if things still suck while your them, then its not the ailens that suck, its WHO the ailens are.
I remember accidentally dropping a SC on a res node by accident, and not understanding that aliens don't have a commander. At one point I thought the hive sight blips were alien waypoints... lol
And then in my marine game, I tried to get guns out of the armslab, cause I hit e on it, and the commander dropped one on me, so I just kept doing that. lol. It was great, my first rine game, and I got a shotgun and jetpack. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Oh, and when I realized lerks could fly. Lol.
I was like WOAH. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
is indeed logical, although to play as aliens first might give you better
handle on how the overall game should be played.
i, anthony never said the game sucked by any strech.
i think it has potential overall to be one of the better games.
i just dont think every one is in a clan, nor do most people
intend to be. this will make it very difficult on the whole
to be widely popular. Agreed, any team game without teamwork
will be frustrating, if not lame. but when the effects of no teamwork
are so drastically noticable, i tend to feel that the game as a whole
will suffer. i didnt mean to be "trollish" last night. i had one too many,
joined a NS server and proceded to yell into my mic to "get to the
hive that is being destroyed" about a thousand times while my team
of skulks rushed into the marine base to snack on the command
console amidst a sea of sentries. this has been my experience on
more then one occasion.

In early game just get regen, celerty, leap and focus and you be good to go with all the lvl 0 armors begging to get killed.
In normal ns tho aliens suck big time...
Most people new to NS think the aliens suck. I did back in 1.04, but after a bit of practice I learned it really wasn't so. Hell, once you learned it, the lerk in 1.04 was a one man army. You could take down droves of marines with that little beast. Almost like the current fade can be, a good lerk in 1.04 was untouchable.
I play regularly in pubs only, and, truth is, it's a 50-50 chance for any team to win, <i>always</i>... I mean, that's how it is... the randomness of pub servers won't allow for anything else... total randomness...
so if aliens suck more than marines on pubs or vice-versa, 'tis only a matter of fate... O_o
I miss babblers *sniff sniff* <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
And the game isn't balanced for that many players. The magic balance seems to be achieved between 6-8 players per side. Less than that, Kharaa have the resource advantage, more and they are disadvantaged. Thats why I generally stick to servers with 16 max player slots. Usualy keeps it even. Sometimes you get get good games out of the large servers, but they are usualy the exception, not the norm.
Aside from that, this thread is bunk.
