I'd join marines first because the comm will make the decisions for you and you can learn how to play marines. Once you learn that, it isn't too hard to learn how to play aliens. That's how I learned NS. If there is something you want to know, just ask. _________________

I started as a rine with cpt commanding, who was also sitting right next to me coaching me through. Still suck at aiming, but am better than I would be otherwise.
As an alien, I started as a gorge doing rt and oc spam (which I still do) but I specced good gorges (like pebs and others) to see where they placed ocs (never in middle of halls) and their battle techniques.
Still am learning, but if you need anything, let me know
OH, as an alien gorge, I ALWAYS get redemption if there are 3 dc's. the trick to getting redemption to work is to avoid constantly being shot (takes a second for redemp to kick in and work) so avoid hmgs
Skulks-i get carapace, celerity, and focus
gorge-redemption, adrenline or silence (depends on what i need, webbing=adren, silence for ocing map) and scent of fear (to avoid dangerous encounters )
lerk-ADREN is a must, carapace (sometimes regen), and sof i guess
fade-don't play it much, ask shen, bh or coolguy
onos-i started with redempt but in ns maps it takes u to hive at about 500health, way to soon, so I get regen instead and try to retreat occasionally (if turret farmed, and i know i can't escape easily, i still get redempt), CELERITY (or you are a really easy big target), and either of the two sensorys (NOT FOCUS, pointless)
don't know if you needed all that as you play co, but this doubles for any newbs wantingto learn ns efficient _________________

Its always best to start out as a rine and listen to your comm. Try aliens once you have learned to play rines on classic maps. |

Yes, start with marines, and just be a field soldier.
Listen, learn and ask.
This is what I get for aliens.
Skulk: carapace, celerity, scent of fear, very rarely focus, maby if sc is 1st
Gorge: regen, celerity, scent of fear
Lerk: celerity (to go faster), regen or carapace if theres dc's near.
Fade: celerity is a must (it's too slow otherwise), regen or carapace if Im going for a suicide run, scent of fear or sometimes focus for hit'n run
Onos: celerity is a must (it's too slow otherwise), regen or carapace for suicide run or if there's lots of dc's near.
Just practise and test what you like, its easy to test in combat maps co_. _________________

I would go with adrenaline for gorgies. You need lots of energy to bile bomb stuff. |

cpt keyes will be unavailable for play for quite some time though.

This probably isn't the best place to ask. Go to the Members forum. _________________
