Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): (This may get auto-denied since it kinda relates to a new game mode.) I watched aliens the other day and was thinking that the numbers are totally switched, in the movie its 5-10 marines going up against 60+ aliens, while on the server its switched. I was thinking maybe the numbers could be switched, the aliens nerfed and marines buffed.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): More lore accurate, may make marines more fun since they get to kill a lot more aliens?
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): whole lot of changes to the map of the sulaco, mainly the locker area and how massive it is/ numerous changes to the balance between marines and aliens. (I dont really think the idea is worth it. but thought it was interesting)

Re: change to game dynamic
-1 nope
What you're suggesting will require a complete overhaul of the game. I think its enjoyable as it currently is.
A new game mode that reverses the numbers? I still think there would be a lot of work and balance to be done for that to be possible. I like it but I don't think it'll work. Nobody wants to play cannon fodder. Similar to zombie-esk games where most start out as a survivor and then become a zombie. Most people don't want to play that zombie e.g. zombie panic

Re: change to game dynamic
-1: although its a good idea, the amount of work that it would take to rehaul a change like that, i dont know. Technically this change is already done in the form of Wiskey Outpost, where the aliens are massive in numbers and the marines are outnumbered.
Gaze upon me,

But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!
