it's very frustrating getting picked off by a fade as a LMG marine, but that's fine, right? -
If only was that easy to two-shot a good fade...
Edit: Thinking a little about it, this argument can go both ways, I'm sure some mediocre/average fades feels badass after two hitting a bunch of a0 LMG players.
I think fades a… -

that's the only thing I disagreed with his post, the only thing I can say for sure that we don't need is more clutter

Statistically? based on what?

Damn, thought it was a thread about shotgun.
well played OP. -
would like to see the op playing, just for research purposes.

I like to play with my friends and I don't like being forced to play on either teams for the sake of server balance.
it does more harm than good. -
welp, while I do think skulks are a bit bad now, 12v12's don't really help the argument.
if aliens (and by aliens I mean the entire team) lose the first engagement, they get egg locked instantly, you can say that they lose early engageme… -

You're correct and I admit my mistake, let me fix my sentence:
Current competitive statistics don't prove that the game is balanced in anyway.
Good marines will beat good aliens.

So, if the win rate is close to 50:50, that means that EVERY team will go 50:50? What?
Pubs are a joke, marines lose because they are dumb and can't hit anything, aliens lose because they are straight liners and every a… -

No, but I think you play on "We marines can't hit anything".
Competitive statistics don't prove anything, we rarely see teams similarily skilled playing against each other, and since 240, when we do, it's all marine win… -

Since 240, all I see is marine wins.

You're missing the point here.
Good marines vs good skulks: Marines win.
Why? Skulks are too goddamn slow.

If skulks can easily lose early engagements even when they have advantage in numbers, how are they gonna survive until mid game? (when lerks and fades come into play)

A marine can get another buddy and easily win a 2v3, and depending on the terrain he might even 1v3. -
Sometimes I think that people on these forums never play against good players, because they would know the skulk is anything but fine.

You missed the part that wall jumping feels really bad now, sometimes it's just better to not continue wall jumping because past a certain point you somehow lose speed when touching walls.

This is the lamest excuse I've ever seen.
You can't just camp on walls and wait for someone fool enough to not look up to get a kill.
By doing that, you are also not contesting areas, which you should be.(Quote)
what if said skulk faced an equally skilled marine?
1. skulk movement
2. exos --- not effective as jp+shotgun
3. power node and cysts
4. both server and client performance
5. visual clutter for the sake of immerson: cyst rupture, gorge spit, shade ink.<…(Quote)
if the marines position themselves correctly on the map, you have plenty of time to get back and defend against a base rush
but we are talking about pubs, arent we? chances are that a skulk is going to solo three marine…TF2 had its own "pistol script-era", everyone agreed that it was lame and eventually valve made the pistol automatic just like you've described
the same should happen in this game, imo, losing engages because of that script is dumb, ther…@Savant
He (James) didn't say anything wrong, you can play however you want, but if there's a better way of playing you would be a fool to not try it, think for…Logged in only to rate as awesome scardybob's post.getting slower after a patch isn't fun, especially if people are already used to being "fast".
if anything the skulk speed should've been buffed, not nerfed, the game shouldn't be balanced around the lowest possible level, if the average…I remember reading somewhere that this "nerf" is in fact a bug, so this discussion is a bit pointless.
I've always thought that the problem with marine vs skulk match up is carapace (of course I'm talking about pre-240, atm even with car…Are we talking about TF2/Dota2 FTP model or LoL?
TF2/Dota2 is perfectly fine, nothing that actually impacts the game, the "best" weapons in TF2 are acquired by achievements, random drops or it's the stock weapon for x class, not to menti…(Quote)
Hit the nail on the head.the game is already dark enough, please no.
