OK for start pls keep me sorry for my English. I'm not very good in this language.
I read many threads about balance or imbalance of GPP. I'm playing it for a while so i encourage myself to post this. By my opinion gpp IS balanced or its better to say it is imbalanced in good way. In 1.1 aliens were those who has the power on his side, in GPP its humans who is on horse and i think its OK because it pushes alien players (and i like aliens much more then humans)to play very different way then in 1.1. Aliens now have to think more about what they are exactly doing, single goon cant erase group of five humans and that's surely good. But one thing is problem:
Someone says

pounce is overpowered (same as in 1.1) or humans pulse (in my opinion) those things are so powerfull for some reason. Think more about the game mechanics and u will see it.
The difference is When i want to rock with goon i need skill, hell i need to train very hard to be able take out two pulsers with L-arm and helmets. As human i need just pulse rifle and mouse(and maybe unlagged ON)....
It is possible to rock with aliens same as in 1.1 but they have to think, they have to teamwork in very precious way, they have to learn (and i love it). Humans on the other side are fatally noob friendly. I was quite good with humies in 1.1, now i am walking terminator and lots of players feel this change same. And it isn't very encouraging when u are pawned by humans not because they are so good but because they are humans! they aren't overpowered they are just uber noober easy to play. Only thing that is challenging and interesting now is placing turrets (btw very good work with this) not many people realize how to build them yet. Somewhere around a read threat about stamina. Some player want bigger amount of stamina because he hasn't enough of it to kill and dodge three goons in row...
MY GOD this isn't unreal tournament this is TEAM game TEAM! but if the balanced team gameplay means skilled aliens that must think about every move and 10 humans with pulse rifles that are running forward on the other side then HUSTON! WE GOT PROBLEM...
