someone gets behind you = dead :(
It's fast paced but everythign just seems to die far too easily imho.
Think the single playre will be teh best part of this game.

BTW whats the deal when your the alien fi you hold both mouse buttons it crosses its arms, is this a defensive stance? I've tried it online but ppl keep cropping up behind me and eating my face lol

and why oh why is there not a on/off button for the mic? Like L4D2 it opens up my mic and continously broadcasts ><

from some of the things I've heard it appears most people have not noticed this yet lmao

1) Yep, watching your back is part of the game, it keeps you on your toes and makes you think about strategy
2) Yep, its death match, you die quickly, same in almost any small map deathmatch game
3) Why? I would have said the other MP modes sound more interesting than the DM we have now
4) Yep, block light attacks stuns the opponent giving you time to finish them off.. will not block trophy kills or heavy attack
5) Yep, mic in the lobby is always on and then once you are in the game you press V to talk, no biggy tbh
 
Looks like this game is going to be great. Really enjoying the multiplayer demo. Playing as the marine is really scary, I always crap myself when an alien gets a hold of me :D

Mmmhm. While I like the game it doesn't scare me. Same with L4D/2. Is there something wrong with me? :p
 
I had a few good games. Just three players me and another marine and a predator. The predator was a good player he was hunting us. You would hear the blips on the motion sensor and then they would stop or you would see the shimmer of his cloak. Then you'd end up with the knives in your back.

I've never been made to jump by a game but this does it. I think it's the beeping scanner and the dark and you're checking all the corners and then "bang!" alien in the face!
 
Looking forward to single player on this, it is said to have a co-op mode, so 3 of us have bought it and plan to do it all in co-op ; )

Yeh, it's got a really good weight to it. I think they've got the characters just right... although I still swear my vision modes just don't work..

I can't wait for the dedi servers. Once the lag of poor P2P connections has gone we can enjoy more tactical gameplay as the blocking mechanism will be more realistic and you wont get 12 metre trophy kill pounces.
 
The control of the Alien is weird and clunky for what is suppose to be a quick free flowing character! The AvP2 method which imo is much better.
IE the way you jump to a surface, you jump towards it if its in range otherwise you just jump up, wtf is that about! i'd rather jump and miss the target than jump up and become a sitting target.
 
downloading the demo right now, i hope to max out the settings with my new radeon hd 57700 1gb from overclockers when it arrives today or tomorrow :-D
 
Ug, played this at the weekend and thought it was pretty awful. Dated graphics, clumsy controls and no real gameplay as such. Felt like a game from ten years ago.

I'm interested in reading reviews on the SP though, because that has some definite potential.
