thanks! i was considering more players when i first thought of the idea. but i desided on 8 becouse, come to think of it, in the alien movies, you only see a handfull of marines going into a place, never a large army. i chose 8 to kinda balance it out. plus, the lack of players kinda helps build suspence in the game. like with the marines, your going along and everything is quiet and you know anything could happen at any moment, and when it douse, it will most likely make you jump outa your seat. if aliens were attacking you every other second, it would kinda loose its fear/suspence factor wile playing as the marines.
As for the aliens, it would give them a chance to stratagize there approach on the marines, giving them more time to figure out a nice ambush strategy and allow them to move into position more easily, instead of being shot at constantly wich would cause most players to not have enough time to stratigize and position themselves, wich would just resort into most players just suicide rushing the marines constantly, hoping to take one down.
