CM-SS13

They may ban you for a negative review I expect such behavior from these people unforunately. This is a launcher for a server and as the other reviews have correctly said it is overseen by a staff team that vary in many ways their depravity and the dismay they have caused others outside their cabal and cliques. I will provide some context to mine and other reviews; These are a group that have long punished negative feedback and otherwise policed speach. As a result. It unfortunately must be part of the reviews. While the game may be fun and interesting it is also tedius, boring, very niche. The staff are certainly apart of the game and the extreme detriment they cause to the game experience cannot be ignore. If you want to be apart of two-hour war where YOU can have an outsized impact on the performance and fate of your team, This game can provide that. It's my favorite part but the lows are long and the highs are short.

Admins are control freaks and take the game too seriously, not fun, I do not recommend playing

Includes flags, imagery and politics that had nothing to do with the Aliens intellectual property, the established lore of Aliens. Flags that have never appeared in any Aliens media which breaks the role playing immersion. Staff will harass you and force their personal beliefs onto you. Avoid entirely.

thwomper is insufferable, similar to the rest of the devs that enforce their "vision" for the game and ignore all the negative feedback. Hijack gameplay is the worst its ever been.

played since Sulaco(the oldest(?) shipside map in the game). Unfortunately much of the older player base has whittled away, expected after 10 years or so but it has also been the result of admins who have gone off the deep end. As with much of SS13 and SS14 (well they may have been like this when they started developing ss14 but lets be brief) the administration, and to a lesser extent the player base, has been captured by a certain demographic. I guess they were always there but they were different people back then, they did not have cat ear headphones and estrogen supplement prescriptions. Nevertheless these odd fellows have taken control of much of the gaming sphere and as expected they flock to the most autist games out there, this being one of them and they of course have the time to become moderators and admins. SOME not all, but with the SOME they have the perversions you would expect from this demographic, and of course they want you guys to know that they exist. besides that its fun, you can ignore it, I do and enjoy the game, doesnt mean we should be accept it.

I wouldn't recommend, some specific players in this community are the worst I've seen in any game or even on the internet in general, especially xenomorph players like Chi/WAR (Chiichii) and some others, it's funny that I've had such encounter only with xeno players because it feels like they're are manchildren/womanchildren who can't control their impulses when even a slightest issue arises and their furry fantasy is somehow confronted with the slightest inconvenience in-game, also these people have multiple prime xenomorph characters, with each requiring 175 hours spent on this game, also in general I just find xenomorph mommy/sister "rp" (yes mommy, because you can constantly notice xenos using "mom" instead of queen or whatever in the chat) to be extremely cringeworthy, all of this was so unpleasant that I decided to mention this I didn't have much of a problem with the staff nor did I grief, but it's annoying that you can be potentially interrupted mid game with an "admin notice" where you have to reply or "explain" yourself, and have to keep talking to them untill they leave you alone, quite humilating that you are forced to "explain" something, even if you didn't negatively affect anyone's gameplay (or even if it's a minor "rule break" I could've just received a note instead of literally having to talk while actively engaged in combat, why the hell am I required to keep talking to you if the result is the same - note????) Gameplay might seem novel at first, but it gets extremely repetitive because the only thing that changes between rounds is map, there's only one gamemode, even after a few years instead of adding more content into the game they've only removed more and more content, if you're not from US you're going to have bad ping even with relay systems, which will negatively affect the gameplay, Also technically this game can be considered a MOBA, because unless you're playing as a specialist/commander or queen, or a t3 you will most likely have little effect on the overall flow of the round, even if you do kill 4 xenos as a marine it won't matter because 2 marines will get captured and they will get those 4 xenomorphs back, also if you die permanently as a marine there's practically no way to respawn Follow Sseth's advice, don't play it

2,400 hours in this game and experienced pretty much everything it has. As many other reviews have pointed out, the developers are unwilling to listen to the community: unwanted features keep being added and recent maps focus more on visual appeal than fun or engaging to play. The biggest issue, however, is the staff. The majority of them shows favouritism towards certain groups, organizing more events around them and their shchedules and often overlooking behavior that borderlines the rules. Forum moderation is the same: banning complains that pointed out said issues. Watching this game decline feels like watching someone you care about slowly destroy themselves. It was once something I loved, but I can no longer recommend it.
