Some people prefer aliens, some people prefer humans. I personally prefer aliens, becouse they are varied. I prefer playing as an alien than playing as a human, becouse it is more interesting to imagine that i am an alien. I prefer hiding and hit and run fight-type too. These are much more easy to make them with an alien, not with all of the aliens, but each alien has a special fighting technic. The humans are little bit boring to me, because i am a human too and that isn't a big change.
You can say your opinions, that's the topic's function.

And now theres 11.

Hmm, human or alien, which one to choose? Generally I'm good with both, but my vote has to go to humans. First they can do long range attacks, so its possible to kill an alien without them getting near you (Other then the classes like Adv.Dragoon). Second, they have the Lucifer. Don't you dare fuck with the Lucifer. Third, they have ti work together to properly beat the other team (Depending on the skills of the aliens) un like the aliens, which most of the time they go solo and concentrate on what they're doing for the team, acting as a whole.

I prefer humans.

Campers are fags, so I find I'm less frustrated if I'm just on the humans team, not worrying about how to take out entrenched ret-humpers. If my whole team still decides to camp then oh well, I'm feeding. Campers loss, at least I'm still having fun, and allowing the aliens to have a good time too.

I'd say it's a tough choice because I do like playing humans a lot, but I'd be lying since I always remind myself of the unique ways of playing aliens that I've developed. I try not to play just like any other good player because it's obvious that the way most people use aliens is not going to get them further than a certain point that's well below truly impressive, and you have to really take it to a different level if you want to get above that point.

People that feed my dretch/rant/goon while the rest of the humans camp is not fun for me. When people do that I usually say "FEED me" or "FEED me [name]" to try to discourage them from doing so.

It is very difficult for the aliens to win against camping humans when they *all* camp, whereas if even one person constantly feeds, the aliens will utterly destroy the humans. If the aliens are the stronger team, for the aliens to win in that situation, they need to be more inventive. Mara RC rush for instance. Either that or the humans are the stronger team and the game *should* stalemate until the humans coordinate an advance.

Personally I prefer humans just because of deconners, bad builders, challenge factor, and people like Kaine and Hendrich (who really should play a team they actually want to *help*).

ACKMAN · « **Reply #9 on:** January 17, 2009, 12:05:52 am »

Its difficult to decide... I love having sex with grangers but i need psaw to do that :/...

I'll chose humans. Nothing is more fun that see how specs laught when they see me suiciding alone with psaw because my team is bored of dying and begin camping... Yeah i like that. I like play alone. I like call noobs to rc jumpers and split that f*cking snipper that is annoying the builders. And i have good aim

Anyways i love tyrant-mara killwhoring or annoy players with my basi.

I prefer aliens, merely because I suck with them. I got humans down to an okay level, but my dretch and mara are hilariously bad in comparison to my goon. I sucked at using evasive maneuvers with the dretch so I got into the habit of forming good ambushes. Which is handy at times, but it didn't help me with my dretch when the humans have already seen me. I can miss a lot with the mara too, but more importantly, I can't stick with my targets too well. All this means I have bitter sweat moments of failing to dretch or mara someone, but learning a valuable lesson in using the class. The only time when I have similar fun while on the human team is when I use the flamer with a 50 ammo capacity, or I manage to psaw an adv goon/rant.

Humans, no worry about camping.

Urcscumug · « **Reply #12 on:** January 17, 2009, 04:41:47 pm »

It's ongoing and always evolving. I've started with humans and I do ok with some weapons more than others: rifle, shotgun, chaingun, pulse rifle, lasgun. The mass-driver, psaw and luci are probably the most difficult to master. Interesting is the fact that at first I couldn't see the deal with the shotgun and why it's so popular, as evidenced in my own earlier posts around this forum. That has changed.

I've only recently started playing alien more. At the moment I'm trying to improve my dretch and I'm finding unexpected joy in playing lisk. I have absolutely no skill worthy of mentioning at the others. The dretch is fast and has low HP. I have to practice hard in two areas in particular: wallwalk and walljumping, because I get severely disoriented sometimes and end up going the wrong way down a corridor or just madly wallwalking around as the world is spinning; and the final dance when approaching a human, that fine weaving at close distance to him. As for the lisk... it's the king of the lesser aliens. It can wallwalk, it can jump, it's slower than the dretch but has higher HP, and the special grab attack opens entire chapters on proper use and strategy. In fact, there is a dedicated topic.

I'd venture to say that all alien classes are hard to master. Which probably applies equally to (all) human weapons, but at least they're similar to other FPS games so the learning curve is smoother.

Builders and grangers have less to do with combat skills and more with strategy and making use of resources well. I'd say it's hard to choose between building for humans or for aliens, they're equally challenging.

One thing is for sure: as long as I find people to play with, I don't see myself losing interest in Trem anytime soon. It's simply too complex a game (which is something I never thought I'd say about a FPS).

I like humans better, they got nades.

It's just fun watching those aliens go flying when the nade as'plodes them.

I prefer humans, but I force myself to play aliens so I can get better. I have severe headshot problems.

Baconizer · « **Reply #15 on:** February 28, 2009, 06:32:10 am »

I like them both, and I was playing as Human, and I make a somewhat decent one. I couldn't quite kill people well with Dretches, but now that I have gotten that, I prefer playing as an Alien.

janev · « **Reply #16 on:** February 28, 2009, 10:08:10 pm »

Pretty much 50/50 and varies depending on my moodswings. Lately I have been more human oriented (though i have not played a game in 2009 yet).
Aliens generally allow for more solo playstyles while humans allow for group strategy to be implemented.
I sometimes pick a team based on who i'm playing with. Some strategies are only possible when you see an another past his prime gamer.

mooseberry · « **Reply #17 on:** March 01, 2009, 06:13:52 am »

I like them both. I think I'm a little better as humans, but recently I've played a lot more aliens.

And janev, I don't want to see you on these forums again until you have played 20 rounds of trem.

Urcscumug · « **Reply #18 on:** March 01, 2009, 05:33:36 pm »

Perhaps it's impossible to really master Trem by playing either alien or human exclusively. I think you need the perspective from both sides to be a good player with either.

IabzO.o · « **Reply #19 on:** March 31, 2009, 02:58:21 am »

Human, it really is an accomplishment and a wonderful experience to win against a half-decent Alien team. Makes me feel special.

Defiance · « **Reply #20 on:** March 31, 2009, 03:16:32 am »

I like aliens. Reason being, the dragoon it makes me feel I'm not that awful at this game.

Urcscumug · « **Reply #21 on:** March 31, 2009, 09:05:46 am »

How strange, it gives me the complete opposite feeling.

CrazyTM · « **Reply #22 on:** April 02, 2009, 02:46:37 am »

That depends on whether or not I'm playing noobs or pros. If pros, then I like humans. If noobs, Then aliens.

Jet~ · « **Reply #23 on:** April 05, 2009, 05:17:12 pm »

I enjoy playing humans because it is satisfying when I kill a skilled alien with a shotgun

. Im experinced with aliens but they are difficult to control if you have never played them.

2 minutes hate · « **Reply #24 on:** April 06, 2009, 02:25:26 pm »

It depends

I enjoy killing three dretches in a row with a shot gun, but I also like killing a human by jumping over his head.
It really depends on my mood.

That's pretty much me except I don't always know whether I'm playing pros or noobs. In all sincerity, I like humans better but only because I am more skilled with them. I usually only play aliens when the humans have more players or I'm really in the mood for a challenge.

Dante · « **Reply #26 on:** April 14, 2009, 07:38:13 am »

If I'm lagging I'll play aliens, because I find lag doesn't affect my dretching all that negatively. Otherwise, I prefer to use humans since I feel I'm better with them.

Jedarus · « **Reply #27 on:** April 14, 2009, 04:01:01 pm »

As CactusFrog stated, auto select is fine if I arrive in the middle of a game. Otherwise, I stick with humans because that's where the teamwork comes in. With aliens it's not to say that there's an absense of teamwork, just that there's less overall.

Reapd**[Contra] · « **Reply #28 on:** October 23, 2009, 11:15:03 pm »

Aliens, and simple. Since most people automatically gravitate to Humans, I had to play Aliens early in my career, and I've just grown attached to them. They are considered worse for some reason, by most people, and I love owning people who think they're better than me. Also since most noobs play humans, I get some free kills. XD
