Headbites still exist, just only in trophy kill form (either behind or on a knocked down enemy). But I agree, I wish they could've let us do it whenever we wanted, I mean they do have an unused button for Aliens.

Another thing that i hope won't be happening in the retail game is the autotargetting. I mean i press the right click let it run after the target until it's in a good position to hit him??? Wtf?

Dathwraith: Ahem, Console port. That is all.

But seriously, like I said, this is to compensate for people who play on the consoles, where the aim isn't as smooth or precise. Which is am problem especially for meele based races like the Aliens and a bit for the Predators as well. Although I didn't exactly get what you were trying to say with the right click thing.

Voltage: It could seem like that but I'm pretty sure that's because you haven't seen many good Marine players. The ones that are good can easily win a match just like the other 2 races can. Once again, I believe this game's balanced as it is.

What i meant with the right click thing is that when i have my alien crosshair on an enemy, if it's close enough to be hit by the tail but is moving around too fast and would normally dodge it, then the alien will turn around on its own with the crosshair fixed on the enemy and from then on i can let it follow on its own, because if the enemy will walk backwards he'll me slow enough to be followed by the alien until he gets hit by the tail, i don't know how to explain it otherwise.

And about humans being weak, saysell says he wins as human a lot, but there were no humans winning while i played, i don't know. And if you ever wanna pull the numbers arguement on aliens again, you should think that this is a deathmatch and at least on the PC version, we aliens kill eachother like there's no tomorrow. I don't know, if humans wanna group up like idiots like i've seen them do, in the hope that no one will kill them and that way they either still get killed or no one attacks them and they don't get any kills...

You know it's kind of funny how our situations have been reversed. Remember when this topic started and we were both just starting to play the demo, I was the one who said that I felt Marines got the shaft and you said that Marines were actually good? Now after a couple of games where I've seen Marines dominating (and without help from other Marines), I've been doubting that decision. I've just came to the conclusion that I suck at playing Marines that's all. I don't know why you changed your opinion on them though.

I haven't changed my opinions on Marines, i think they're the only well optimized of the three classes. I just think Aliens and predators are a bit overpowered now.

You probably think so because you're seeing alot of close quarter combat, which is understandable since you are an Alien player. And this is where you will see most Marines fail. They're just not made to fight hand to hand. The point of Marines is to shoot the others dead before they get close. If you see any Marines that let Alien or Predator get close to them, then they're not very good. So I still believe it's the players not the race itself.

Unless you have other reasons beside meele combat that makes you think Alien and Predator are OP.

Well i don't really see any way that a marine can aim faster than the alien moves in this game or faster than the smart disk or the plasmacaster can take its head off. But really, if you think about it, it's gonna be a really great experience with the marine in singleplayer and at least from that perspective the marine gameplay is well made.

in the demo on xbox 360 i was an Alien and 9/10 of the battles with marines i win cause i just slap them 1 time so the are a bit disorientad(don't now how to spell it :p) and then i use my strong attack wich is the tail attack and then they are dead.

But i met a marine who defended against my slap and smashed me on the ground and shot me through the head.

I thought finally ... a worthy opponent :D

So i also think it depends on the player. But if you do not play with a certain race too much you will suck with that race in time like me with the marines :D.
