Haven’t watched any trailers of this game until now, i’m seriously hyped for this game…can’t get here fast enough.
God, this is going to ruin my life.
Looks like a tremendous amount of short-term fun. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited for this game and I’ve been following it since it was announced but I can’t see this game having any lasting appeal. At least there seems to be more replay value just being able to play as any of the three species.
Yeah, the 3 different species’ playstyle is really going to help this game keep my attention longer. I really don’t play online shooter’s for long, it’s like once I get a feel for all the maps, weapon and player spawns and whatnot, I’m left with a what now feeling. i enjoy a good shooter, but they never really seem to keep my playing like a fighter.
AvP could be the exception though. Maybe, it’s becuase it will have a melee system with heavy attack, light attack and block- with a rock, paper, scissor style ( block stops light attacks, heavy attacks go through blocks, and light attacks interupt heavies), plus pounce attacks and stealth kills, could give this the feel of a fighter- as long as you’re using an alien and predator.
that’s what made the original PC games so much fun, and gave it such a MP longevity. Each race plays so differently from one another, and being a good Alien in AvP1 and 2 required some serious skill. The game looks like it’ll actually be pretty damn baller to me.
I love the blip of motion trackers in Aliens, even the old games make it fucking tense when you start getting that blip… blip… blip… FUCK!
Do you want to see people getting fucked up?

Of course you do!
sexcellent
just keeps getting better and better
cant wait to shoot those aliens
LONG LIVE THE HUMAN RACE
I cannot wait to skull fuck marines with my cool Predator spikes.
Oh yeah!..For some reason I was thinking he said that in Commando.
The alien seems hard as hell to control from the MLG video. Dude kept running past his target and dying. I wonder if in team play it would straight up be 3 v 3 v 3. I mean the Aliens used numbers to win and they don’t have any projectiles. Still looking forward to this game though.
I’m glad they have a mode called predator hunter. Reminds me of the hidden source mod.
Kill moves from AvP on Machinima!

The game’s defualt number of players is 18, so for a teams species death match, meaning 3 teams of an all alien team, all predator team, and an all marine team would be 6 vs 6 vs 6.
Of course there is other multiplayer types, like regular team deathmatch, between 2 or more teams with any mix of species on the same team, of course that style of play is a blasphemy, since aliens working together with other species is silly.
The Aliens don’t have any projectiles at all, what they do have is the fastest normal and sprint speed, the ability to get anywhere around the map, by wall climbing and jumping, the ability to see through walls and see cloaked predator’s. Plus they have a pounce move, it’s a targeted long range melee attack, that leaps them through the air and knocking their target down.
The aliens is very unconventional, and getting a grip of his speed and vertigo inducing map movement will give newcomer’s a probelm in controlling him. If this game is as good as the past 2 games- even if the second wasn’t made by the same guys, then I’ll be loving the alien.
I just won’t be charging a marine head on, like some of those people did.
I went and reserved the “Hunter Edition” last week!
I’m gonna take all kinds of stupid pictures with the facehugger on me lol
I went and download the original AvP game off of steam for only 5 bucks.
It’s been updated to work on all modern PC’s and laptops, and has the levels from both the gold and milleninium expansions plus the survival mod. Rebellion will be adding a free patch that will give the game online multuplayer, plus it works with xbox 360 controllers.
And I so want to get that Face hugger, but might be forced to just get the special edition version just for the extra maps.
In AvP2 it took me a month to get used to the Alien speed. Then it took me even longer to get used to the Runner’s speed.
I hope we get more, varied marine/predator classes. Aliens I expect will be the usual Drone/Runner/Predalien/Praetorian with a Queen evolution after 10 kills.
BTW I’m hoping for a very short range Alien acid spit move.
Looks great but I hope MW2 doesn’t stop it from having a decent online community =/.
LOL on the marine trailer
It’s the way you think you been saved by the alien getting killed before it rammed it’s tongue in your brain.
Only to find out it’s the was the Predator and it’s blades come out to finish the job
I’m pretty sure there is no multiplayer classes for each species like there was for AvP2. I think this game is going for a throwback feel to AvP1, since the AvP2 was made by a different company than 1 and 3. But a short ranged acid spit would be neat, but i don’t remember them having that in any comics, books, or movies.
here is a 5 min PS3 non-english vid of someone playing the alien single-player. Apperently the ability to havest as shown in the vid is only a campaign objective. It does show alot of use of the alien pounce attacks, which wasn’t used much or at all during the recent multieplayer vids. and a few trophy and stealth kill in nice quality
