uh... It works fine for me, i played for an hour and a half before getting bored. What they did to walwalking in this demo at least, is not alright.

I gotta say i'm pretty satisfied with it, the jumping system could be better but whatever. I'd like to be able to play on my own to test key combinations more but i can wait.

i tried it out on the pc and ps3. the ps3 one took me forever to find a game but i tried out all the classes.

The predator has cloaking ability, claws, 2 vision modes and a sprint. when u press the button for focus mode u can choose a location to jump to. also by holding focus it shows u locations for extra weapons.
there is a pickup to use the plasma caster, its ok.
u can pick up a Combi-Stick which is modelled after the one in AVP. you can only throw it. u can also get Shurikens. there are possibly more but these are all i found from playing.
predator trophy kills are awesome. humans include :
stabbing in the throat and ripping head out with spinal cord attached,cutting in half and slitting throats open
the only alien trophy i seen was ripping out its second mouth.

the aliens are pretty fun, they move slower than AVP2 and when u jump at a surface will automaticlly stick to it. u have a tail attack which i guess is for attacking people from the ceiling or coming up behind them, u can hiss and scratch. the alien has an advantage because it can see auras of living beings. the trophy kills i have seen are using second mouth to impale head and stab through bodies.

the marines are like a typical fps. they have a motion tracker as a map and works well. they have a torch and start off with a pulse rifle. u can pick up a shotgun which is pretty sweet. the best round i played was with the marine, they just seem to be able to kill things better.

i also seen a section for choose costumes...the predator had an option for Wolf but was locked. cant wait to see it!

definatly getting it for my ps3. :D

There is no such thing as shuriken, it's the Smartdisk. The good one, from AvP1, not the one from AvP2 that turned like a bus. And wtf is that about aliens moving slow, they don't move slow at all, they're actually the fastest in the game.

Been playing the Demo on Steam for a while now. I must say, this game's looking extremely good. It's flawed (the controls could be better, graphics aren't up to par with today's games), but it's one of the most enjoyable multiplayer I've played until now.

I fucking love playing as the Aliens. Most of the time I'm on ceilings or walls, which is great because for some reason no one ever look up. And now that they're even faster, have longer ranged pounces and auto-lock with their damaging meeles, they're going to be my favorite race.

Predators are my 2nd choice. They may not be as agile as Aliens and will probably lose to Aliens in meele combat. But they make up for it with alot of cheap instant kill weapons (discs, plasma caster and spear).

Sadly Marines seems to have gotten the shaft, as to me they're the weakest. They're blind most of the time and move too slow compared to they other 2 races. I like their weapons, but their lack in meele is hurting them here.

Also, anyone get the feeling that health packs are kind of useless here?

" fucking love playing as the Aliens. Most of the time I'm on ceilings or walls, which is great because for some reason no one ever look up."

I look up heh. I don't like getting on the walls though, cos i don't exactly understand the range of the tail and claws so i just like to walk right up in front of people, tail and claw them. It's very effective.

" They may not be as agile as Aliens and will probably lose to Aliens in meele combat."

Actually no, preds take three hits to kill (tail + two claws) and i've seen some preds hit me so hard that i couldn't even hit back and i as dead before even getting the chance to do anything. Also THAT FUCKING SMART DISK!


"I like their weapons, but their lack in meele is hurting them here."

Another thing i gotta contradict you on, most times that marines killed me was because they pushed me back and shot me while i was still getting back on my feet. Saying this from alien perspective. But is it just me lagging, or are the marine's bullets extremely slow?


And you gotta take into consideration that this is just a demo, they may optimize a lot of things til they release.

"I don't like getting on the walls though, cos i don't exactly understand the range of the tail and claws so i just like to walk right up in front of people, tail and claw them."

Yeah see, I don't exactly like going right up in front because this will get me killed most of the time. Staying on ceilings and getting a good pounce on an enemy is alot better as it weakens them enough to be finished with 1-2 claw swipes (so you don't have to know the range of the claw/tail).

"Actually no, preds take three hits to kill (tail + two claws) and i've seen some preds hit me so hard that i couldn't even hit back and i as dead before even getting the chance to do anything. Also THAT FUCKIGN SMART DISK!"

Once again, a pounce will let you finish them off in 1-2 swipes. Most of the Preds I play against use only light attacks, so blocking works wonders.

But I agree, Smart Discs are annoying.

"Another thing i gotta contradict you on, most times that marines killed me was because they pushed me back and shot me while i was still getting back on my feet."

This is where the whole pounce thing again come to good use. It does alot of damage, and most of the time, the ones I fight against only try to back up and shoot after receiving that much damage.

I mean, maybe because I suck at Marines but my record was (all games had 8 people):
Marines: 2 kills, 7th place (get caught by surprise)
Predators: 7 kills, 4 place (5 by using discs)
Aliens: 18 kills, 1st place (huge difference here)

I have no idea how you pounce, but if you just mean jump+hit then i always miss with that and/or end up on a wall that takes me ages to get off of.

But i don't know, i won with predator and alien alike, avoided playing marine...

Pounce isn't jump+hit, it's using the focus system just like the Predators. But whereas the Predators use it to jump, Aliens use it as a lunging attack (remember AVP2). To do it, go into focus mode (default shift I believe) and then press the light attack button when a circle centers around a target.

Trust me, this attack makes playing the Aliens so much better as it greatly covers distances and takes usually half an enemy's health off if hit.
