oh and the aliens have stealth and speed.... come on... really!?

Ok we are on the same team, but I agree. I played both and aliens are OP mid to late game. Marines hatchet is hilarious! Not worth any melee and the 3/3 weapons simply cannot compete with the aliens speed, phase, and other upgrades. BTW nice loose crosshairs! Download a mod to fix this sloppyness.

Ah, the joy of having 3+ marines working together. Makes short work of most alien meat. But who am I to say that team work is important? ;)

onos is all i gotta say

and fade

amazing the dance a wily jetpacker can pull off in mid air to throw of those leaping skulks and swooping lerks while his allies on the ground give them a collective lead enama.
Both teams, when used in a co-ordinated manner, can rip through each others tactics in a visciously swift form of rock paper scissors.

If you play rock, paper, scissors and only ever select say, paper, you will loose around 66% of your games. Do you see?

And thats exactly why both factions have counters too each other that need to be used, two skilled teams can indeed work in a co-ordinated manner allowing a match to go either way. No lone unit can make any real headway but constant resource heckling and heavy pushes followed by holding the line makes for some glorious battles.
