Oh, so the focus mode actually does something for the aliens? Lol, well i have sprint on shift, sprint+wallwalk on ctrl, and focus mode on Q, but i guess i'll combine sprint with focus mode on shift for the alien...

But from what i've seen, i think it does the same thing for the predators, i've seen preds jump at me before and didn't know how they did it. Anyway, thanks. Didn't really have time to try out all the key combinations because you know, i was busy killing stuff the simple way.

Yeah but for the Predators, it only hits if you can focus jump direct at the enemy. It can be quite easily dodged. The Alien's focus pounce however if you can lock on the an enemy and attack (which should be easy as you just need to get in close), is almost guaranteed to hit.

Hey simple way works too... if you don't mind your exoskeleton filled with lead, cause that's my experience trying to charge and meele.

Well i don't really mind it as long as it does the job. I'm afraid though of trying trophy kills from the front, you know? Because i got killed at least twice and the one i was killing survived while i was doing it. I know predators sometimes do that to me and i don't die right away, i still get a chance to hit back. Any idea if that's just my imagination or if it really works like that?

I'm a small bit miffed about the PC version. Its a console port, to which I hope Rebellion will actually do the PC release justice.

I <3 the Marine, although the gameplay style is different. There isnt any bunny-hopping, which is an added bonus. The Pred pays fine but the Aliens transition is a bit dodge.

As for the stealth kills... Rebellion better implement a better system, as being stealth killed by a narked Xeno 10 feet away doesnt make much sense.

As I said, pre-release code, dodgy match-making, no DX-11 and massive amounts of lag, from hosts to the dreaded mouse.

I do truly hope these isssues will be cleared up. Or I will have lost all faith in Rebellion, for the final time.

delta-boy:

"but the Aliens transition is a bit dodge."

Turn on auto-transition. It allows the Aliens to instantly switch surfaces without the need of the transition button. Much more fluid that way.

"as being stealth killed by a narked Xeno 10 feet away doesnt make much sense."

Strange, I've rarely been stealth-killed. And the times that it does happen the enemies are right close behind me.

"As I said, pre-release code, dodgy match-making, no DX-11 and massive amounts of lag, from hosts to the dreaded mouse."

The match-making will be fixed of course, as the game will come with dedicated servers for PC version. Same with DX-11 support, also on full game. Lag I guess can be improved but I'm playing on lower graphical settings so not that bad.

No, no no no, the auto transition makes it hell to play. What they need to do is make a button for when you want to wallwalk that makes you drop off the walls when you release. Just like in AvP1 and 2.

What? I found it so much better with auto-transition on as you no longer have to hold or push any buttons to crawl on walls. This was exactly why wall-crawling was annoying in AVP2 because I hated that you have to hold a button down and as soon as you release (on purpose or accidentaly) it, you drop straight down and will probably get killed.

But if you want to drop straight down then just press the transition button without being close to another surface.

I seriously haven't used wallwalking almost at all with this system, that was what i loved about the old method of wallwalking, the fluidity, i coudl jump from wall to wall and drop down as soon as i needed to, now i even get stuck on walls because the damn alien starts wallwalking without my command. I really hate it like this. I don't know about you, but in AvP1 i could finish the Alien campain in 20 minutes with the old system. With this system it would probably take me hours to finish even the first level.

But seriously, drop accidentally? How do you drop accidentally...

Slip of a finger, usually. I'm not a very patient person, and so I get annoyed when I have to hold a button down for long. That and the more you hold it, the more loose your hands become and a slight release will cause you to fall straight down.

What I will wish for is that they have some kind of wall-walk toggle (turning in on-off).

I don't know, my pinky feels just fine on the Ctrl button, i can keep it there for hours and not even notice... But yea, a toogle would pretty much solve both problems.

You know, i kinda got bored of it, because after winning a match against 2 preds and 2 marines at a score of 25 kills, the highest below me being a predator with 9 kills, it kinda feels like the game is too easy... I like that it's dinamic and everything, quick kill, move on, but without free jumping and wallwalking it just feels like i'm not really doing anything.
