personly......NO, im getting really pissed of when im an alien and its jsut me supporting the whole team and all they are doin is feeding them to shit!
i was just on a map where it was a fair 5 on 5.... till they attack and pritty much kill our whole base, i had to deal with them, had no help from tms nor after the attack did any 1 try to rebuild the base, even with them dieing ever few secs and me yelling at them. i would have rebuilt but no 1 was even defending and they keep attacking us. its not the first time ive had to have the team on my sholders. i can keep them alive but they dont get the fact that if they die over and over again the humans will get the stage 2 then 3, i can own humans with my trusty dragoon at stage 1 but at stage 2 its a bit to slow and bluky to own them with, and with every 1 else feeding they all have pulse rilfes whitch tear dragoons apart.

so in short, if ur new to the game, or just suck at it.... dont be alien, humans are easyer to understand.

it's a free world, you can play as what you want

hmm spose.... but at lest i wish they would help defend the base, or help to build rather then run around.. die.... run into there base die.... run... u get the point..
ppl say that trem is a team base game.... ok maybe im not much of a team player, but i try to insure that we have a base to come back to and i try to not get them to lvl up before us. y is it that some ppl help the other team by feeding them? y cant they just go to that team in the first place?

Nonsense.

The simple answer is players can't become good at anything without practice, same thing with builders.

Practice does not come only with playing, do not underestimate the strength of spectating and/or watching demos and/or movies.

[PS] And browsing these forums!

Noobs will just watch in awe until they grasp the basics of alien movement. And the only way to learn how to move as an alien is in the game.

Usually they will all try to be human...

.. but yeah.. how do you become a not-noob at playing alien if you don't play alien?

You need to be born 1337 like Lava apparently.

Actually, I find all the newbs play as human. I mean, there are a zillion other FPS games, but no Alien hack-and-slash games. So the newbies drift to the team that plays like what they're used to.

Even if you get them all to play as human, and they get good with them, what then? Then they'll try the alien team. So, since telling them all to join one team isn't going to help, just leave them be and let them learn. I try to make a point to give them tips when I can.

I just wish they wouldn't feed.

I have had enough of S1 bugs vs S3 hummies.

Human noobs are even worse. They destroy base and don't give up like alien noobs usually do.

the biggest problem on Trem is people going solo

ITS A TEAM GAME FFS!

so many problems would be avoided if noobs did as they were told

As do I... however, that is what happens when you get a good player or two versus not to good teams.

Thats a really pointless suggestion. I'm not experianced in this game in any form, but after a few days of play I find that Aliens and Humans are extremely different. So basically even if your experianced with a Human your not exactly going to be wizkid with the Aliens since they both have different ways of dealing with situations.

While that might be true, playing hummie will make you a better alien since you know what hummies do, how they do it, how they build and what they might try at a certain point of the game. Same goes for playing alien to become a better hummie, if not even more so.
