so far alot of players haven’t gotten a complete grasp on the controls, they don’t use thier stims as marines, or the healing as predators, I don’t see many super jumps or pounce attacks as either alien and predator. And I’m just as guilty of it too in the heat of battle.
I can’t wait to see how the game plays in team deathmatches and once players have become good with their chosen species. I still think it is too early to complain about certain aspects or declare a tier list just based on the demo
I’ve found that Pred’s super leap makes for a decent getaway tool, and I haven’t even heard about Aliens having a pounce move. Does it have anything to do with their focus view (like a shift key deal)?
Its not THAT good. I mean its fun, And I agree with the atmosphere given by the marine class. But I’ve been a bit let down. HOWEVER, Being the alien is fun as FUCK
Im downloading the demo on xbox right now. I never played any other AvP game so this is new to me. My expectations are not high at all so hopefully this wont dissapoint.
Question: How do you know how effective Halo’s Assassin kill is? Only time I’ve heard of this feature is for Halo Reach, which isn’t even available for beta testing yet.
The alien pounce is similiar to the pred’s, go into focus mode and it highlights targets, allowing you to jump from long range, knocking your opponent down and setting up melee kills.
It’s perfect to set up ambushes and pounce from ceilings, or to chase backpedaling marines.
dang i couldnt figure out how to use any other weapon with the predator besides the claws. i picked up the stick and maybe saw blades? i dont know but i couldnt figure out how to switch.
the game looks hella good and it plays SUPER smooth. multiplayer was ok, but im looking forward to the campaign more, and if the multiplayer is any indication it seems like it wont disappoint.
Well it’s the best FPS game I’ve played in years, however, I don’t know anyone has an enjoyable experience on consoles.
I tried it on my 360 out of boredom and the game literally runs at around 30-40fps and I hate using controllers for FPS games.
I could easily rate my pc experience a 9 or a 10, but my console experience a 4 or 5. The moral of my post is that FPS games still belong on PC more so than consoles.
i dont understand why there is a Y axix AND X axis sensitivity, im pretty sure thats the first time i seen that. and they need to stop putting that mouse smoothing feeling in fps games, that shit is wack, i want it to feel precise.
But when I finally found a game, the latency experience was good so far.
Grab kills look cool, however when you’re busy ripping someone’s head off, another player can just approach from behind and instakill you… only to get instakilled be another player sneaking behind them… and so on…
Sticking on ceilings and killing clueless playes with the Alien’s tail attack from above repeatly is too much lolz.
I couldn’t select Predator, but I had mediocre experiences on the other two sides. The Aliens are hard as fuck to maneuver, especially once you get around boxes or other random objects in the room, and you’re just trying to jump forward. I was trying to use ‘focus’ mode, but when I pressed the LT button, nothing happened? Also, I have no idea why LB is tail attack some times, and other times it swings claws, waits, and then does the tail attack. I did do a drive by on the ceiling tail attack on a marine walking below, which was cool, but that was about it.
The grab kills are cool looking… but usually completely useless as someone will just rape you from behind during the 5-7 seconds it takes to do so. They definitely need to be sped up.
Um, it has SO much potential, but it just doesn’t feel quite right.
You have to hold the focus button and then press jump to perform a leap, or if you have a target highlighted, and the little circle turns green, keep holding down focus and hit the light attack for a pounce.
Aliens definately have a huge learning curve, but they are a blast to play, I haven’t even touched the marine yet, and I’ve been playing all day.
I’m also fine with the length of the trophy kills, if players want to die for a kill, that is their choice, but it’s often just easier to waste the opponent with standard melee attacks, which will leave you open to defend from other players.
Frankly, I generally, hate free for all deathmatches, and I’m not a fan of the map either, but at least the demo shows a taste of what the full game could look like.
