So i've been dwelling on the whole, witch side is gonna be more appealing to me, thing and its true that it is all opinionated, but i'd deffinatly would like to hear some faction fanatics and their opinions! As for myself, i would deffinatly have to say GDF, just the fact that your putting hot lead into some stroggs head or a nice 120mm round in them just gives me the most power-sum feeling. Also the cool tactical/futuristic armor and rifles.. it's just complete ownage! GDF FTW!!

Both. Three rounds; stopwatch.

GDF! Everything about the GDF appeals to me. I'm sure I'll be playing every race and class, but GDF Engineer looks to be my primary playing style...then again, I havent played a minute of this game, so who knows!

Gdf Ftw! Goooooooooooooooooooooooollllllll!
Thats a tough one, I am looking forward to playing both, that said, the Strogg will be very interesting from a tactics point of view I feel. Besides which, I am looking forward to being scared sh*tless when running into a Strogg unexpectedly

Hard to say since I've played this as much as most of you here, but I'll have to go for Stroggs on this one. Both sides look nice and we'll see how it'll end up, but Stroggs are my primary choise based on the information so far. (Class and vehicle descriptions)
Strogg, since they have a railgun ;)

Question is......during game play if sides are balanced, do you have a choice or you get auto-assign to....?

mostly because they look the coolest, have awesome guns, and who doesnt like Stroyent!
it is a FACT that Strogg are the best race ever.

05-04-2007, 05:03 AM
GDF for me, probably.
I love being bad, but for some reason, in FPS' I'm always the good guys.
The poll is pretty even so far... I guess thats a good thing :D
signofzeta
05-04-2007, 05:08 AM
GDF, becuase they have the armadillo jeep to run strogg over with.
Strogg, because they have the hog truck to run over people.
I like both.
SpankMuffin
05-04-2007, 05:08 AM
For some unexplainable reason, I am leaning a teeny tiny bit more toward the GDF at this point. They just seem more...familiar to me. I dunno. I'm really excited to see how the asymmetry works out in the long term. I really think its a cool idea, and hope it works well.
I guess I'm actually more neutral at this point than anything else. One of the poll options should be mercenary, since I'll happily play for whichever side is willing to pay me the most (or, you know, which ever side needs more help). :D

"It doesn't matter what color a GDF is on the
outside, because they're all red on the inside."

DarkangelUK
05-04-2007, 08:56 AM
We've all played soldiers in one form or another, so I think a lot of people will want to try strogg for the novelty of being Alien scum. And well, they just look cool too :)
looking forward to both :D

I will be playing both and joining the weaker team, but given a choice I will be playing GDF. Reasons:
- shotgun
- deployable GPMG. Hyperblaster probably can't be deployed. I love Mg42 in W:ET.
- weapons are lovely animated, rocket launcher for example.
- tracers from strogg weapons will make it much harder to be stealthy. When I play W:ET, I'm as sneaky as possible, no matter the class.
- Smoke grenade sounds much more useful than forcefield. Forcefield is said to only stop bullets, so it sounds like a rifle grenade magnet.
- unless I'm misinformed, Infiltrator is about avoiding being recognized, while Covert Op is about avoiding being seen at all. Strogg don't seem to have silenced weapons, at all.
- strogg technician sounds like an ultimate rambo class. Health AND ammo in one package. I don't want to be in team with rambos. I prefer team players.
Class I play ? Probably the same as in W:ET - Soldier, Engy, Covert Op, sometimes medic, depending on which is most needed at the moment.
I voted for Stroggs. They're more universality and interesting nation. Everything what is inhuman comes from Strogg race is attractive and original in FPS games.

Kamikazee

Useless poll, imho.
Whilst I might start as Strogg, I will sure balance out teams.
So I think the majority of players will tend to play both and players only picking one are to be considered asocial in gaming terms.
And don't forget that they all have pros and cons.
Berzerkr (GER)
05-04-2007, 12:30 PM
I don't care about Strogg or GDF, I want to play on the attackers side, because defending is not my thing.
But if a map comes where I have to defend, I don't change the team.
Usally I join the side with the less players.
exoteror
05-04-2007, 12:32 PM
Im looking forward to the strogg, although I will play any team the balance controls put me in. I expect both teams to be amazing to play and gdf will differ from other games that you play a human role.
FrenchTart
05-04-2007, 12:34 PM
I like both, but the thing from the E3 video that looked like a giant orbit-to-surface plasma/laser thang looks amazing. I might have to play Strogg just to use that ;)

Dark Matter
05-04-2007, 12:36 PM
I will definitely play both, but since GDF is just conventional weapons like I use in other games, I am looking forward to the strogg weapons. From what I have seen in the screenshots, the strogg's weapon is actually part of its arm, right?

Strogg, ever since i started fragging them in q2 i've wanted to see what their side was like. Not from the Kane pov either (he was still human, just really messed up) but as a real strogg.

The thing about playing strogg is to have a different feel of things. GDF is alot of human technology with humans shouting, we have already seen that in BF2. I wonder what strogg will sound like when shouting stuff (or if they just growl at everything :P)

i wish the game had strogg made better, like when an arm i shot off they get one from the gdf and put it on(they can do that u kno). everybody will scavenge for arms so they can fire a gun, but one guy with no legs pwns them xD.
ahh, reminds me of the best part in q4, when i got stroggified. the legs were cut off, geesh, that might have hurt, and a stick just stung me, ahh, strogg really treat ppl as fuel or sth.

Viperkhan

GDF for me. I'm surprised to see so many wanting to play as the Strogg. I think that's good!
I think I'll try to get on GDF first, but I don't really care honestly.
murka10
05-04-2007, 08:23 PM
i dont care about the class, i just want to run around in a speedy vehicle and do some roadkilling.
I'll stick with humans at first. My mind might change later, however, since I've not been able to test Stroggs yet. There are a couple o' things making me feel like playing Strogg, though: first, the Strogg are something new. Not sure if completely different, but different, at least. Not only the classes but instead, as far as I know, also the weapons. Vehicles seem different too. The only thing that makes me stick to GDF is probably the outlook of Strogg. They look really ugly. The devs have done great job with the whole game, including Stroggs. I mean, you know, some people fear incects for example? A bit like that is what I mean. You'll surely get the point anyway.

05-04-2007, 09:33 PM
I think for the most part Strogg as frankly I think it will be rather fun playing the bad guys for a change. Not a reflection of Team (AWG) just think it would be fun. Both classes appear to have some great abilities and what not.

BOTH.
Everyone will need to be able to play both factions for two reasons:
1. Stopwatch Mode.
2. When you're joining a public server which has more players on your favourite team and will only let you join the other one.
That being said, the first faction I intend to check out will be the Strogg. But I'm really quite indifferent.

I come from the BF world, and i am anticipating that this game will be very different ( faster, etc.. ), maybe GDF is where i will be more often in the first learning moments to get the feel for the game..
Stroggs are something i cannot miss too, new Tech, different way of playing..this is also very appealing ... In the end, i will probably play both as much... Team balance is the key..
See ya
