If the designers do a good job of balance, then that’ll be the beauty of the game; each character will have pros & cons in every situation (maybe Predator + Marine are armed to the teeth, but all gunfire may attract an ultra-swarm of enemies, Aliens may not have projectiles but they are able to stealthy kill even moreso than the Predators, etc).
People still play Halo 3 and Battlefield BC, I’m sure AvP will have a decent base.

I use to LOVE AVP2, multiplayer was the shit. They better still have the ability to change into Queen Aliens and use Exo Skeletons for the humans. Once you get use to how the aliens move they are extremely fun since you have to be so stealthy with them. The don’t have projectiles but they make up for it by being able to see EVERYTHING (even stealthed predators), incredible speed, ability to climb walls, ceilings, air ducts that no one else can get into etc.
MW2 doesnt have an online community thanks to no dedicated servers
so avp has nothing to worry about
ill try to translate some of that video
- he states he will pick the alien as its the funnest class for him to play
- aliens start by escaping imprisonment with the queen and now want to sabotage the refinery
- harvesting isnt necessary just helps get more points in the end of the level
- alien has 2 attacks, strong and weak
- but most of the kills here will take use of the pounce which will know enemies down and then fatalities which are very effective
- fighting is pretty simple, jump down, take out attackers and stick somewhere to the ceiling
- keeping that tactic makes the missions pretty simple but the alien being weak, if you are caught in a crossfire of 2 soldiers, you will probably die
- as you can see there are a lot of fatality animations and even throughout the game they dont get boring
- going through the vents is really a good way to escape from the enemies
- taking advantage of the sprint ability is a good way to rid many enemies without taking heavy fire
- most of the alien levels involves tight caverns and tight spaces trying to escape
- thanks for watching and stay tuned soon for predator and marine action
hot damn it looks good
MW2 has thousands of players daily, the dedicated server debacle put no dent in it’s user base.
im talking from a PC gamer viewpoint
Aliens are bad-ass, but people seem to over-look the marines. Sure, they are just humans, but good, bad: they’re the guys with the guns!
Getting fragged by grenades, or tore to ribbons by a smart gun is no fun at all! Sure the predator has longe ranged weapons too, but they aren’t as good or as straight forward as the marines options.
Marines are insane 180 degrees in front of them where their motion tracker can pick anything moving, so they may not be able to see a cloaked predator, but if they start praying and spraying when they see or hear a blip, you can bet they’ll hit something. Predator’s long range attacks are tricky to use, either they have high energy requirements, or it makes them sitting ducks as they target.
Marines- long range masters, shotgun, grenades, mini-guns, sniper- with a scope that can see stealthed predators. but for melee, they just have a block and a light attack, only useful for getting someone off of you and get you back to blasting
predators- mix of ranged and melee: middle of the road, not as good at melee as a alien, and not as good at long range as a marine, but it is the most flexible of all the species. it has 3 different vision modes to help it see the other species easier, of course the alien seeing mode, makes marines almost impossible to make out, and vice versa, so a predator has to really be on his toes, and know what he’s hunting.
aliens- all melee all the time.Insaley fast, can get to places no one else can to set up crazy ambushes, like camping right above a door, waiting for someone to run past setting up a free meal.
On paper, it looks like a nice mix of playstyle and balance, but it’s up to the devs to make sure everything flow’s just right. And everybody has their own opinion on what was more powerful during the AvP2 era, but hopefully, it works out. And the developer’s have promoised more DLC, so patching balancing tweaks shouldn’t be too far of a stretch.
Heard about a lot of drama there.
Any word on if Smartguns/Plasma Cannons still auto follow?
Edit: The magic facehuggers coming out of nowhere for the harvest kills bothers me. Hopefully it’s explained in the plot.
I’ve seen vids of the predator’s shoulder cannon tracking once it locks on. Haven’t seen anything about the smart gun, but I doubt it’s gonna change much from the last game.
AVP1 is $5 on Steam, not sure if or when they’re patching in MP.
MW2 is shit.

So I finally got around to seeing all three 10 minute single player’s preview on youtube (those links are most likely removed already), and regardless of how bad the player was, the game looks amazing.
I just hope I’m done with Mass Effect 2 by the 16th of Feb.

I’ll watch some gameplay vids and see if I’ll get it, at least for my bro.
