AvP MP demo is live

I played three games as marine. Quite enjoyed it...lag didn't seem that bad and you got the decent 'being hunted' feeling that I felt in the first game. Marines aren't that slow once you learn how to press the sprint key :p

Graphics aren't anything to write home about, despite the excessive fan ramping on my 4870x2... But it seems fun :)
 
Good God. The marine's assault rifle is nigh on useless with an alien. I managed to kill a predator with it but luckily there are shotguns about to take on the aliens. They are fast buggers though - one isn't used to looking at the ceiling to shoot things! Having it in semi-darkness with only your torch is a bit annoying.

Indeed. The flares didn't seem to be working/enabled for me either. Bit annoying as it's far better to play with flares+no torch really. You're slightly less of a walking target as marine when you turn the torch off :)

I found the assault rifle to be about the best thing against both marines and aliens...aside from the hillariously broken smartgun.
 
There's about 3 buttons, the whole thing stinks of consolised rubbish, there isn't even a crouch button. The firing is unresponsive, the guns feel like crap. The alien control system is absolutely awful. Not even bothered with the predator.

I was a massive fan of the previous games but this one is just pants.

I don't know if the single player will be any better but its a bit of a dissapointment really. :(
 
Lol i beat an alien to death with the pulse rifle - then got raped for 2 games - This demo has not done any justice to this game its a real fail

I was like oooh ohh then after everyone on the server began spontaneously laughing we all agreed it was awful
 
The controls are abit tricky as the predator but seem not too bad as the alien. Pressing mouse 3 then space bar makes you dive at that wall. This is utterly devastating against a predator or a marine who cant react fast enough due to lag haha.

Trophy kills seem abit too easy to get though and I just won a game as the predator with 10 kills and 5 deaths, 1 of those being a suicide lol
 
To add, anyone having problems getting this to actually run at native res? Doesnt look like 1920x1080 to me in game and the screen also has a shimmer to it like the refresh rate is wrong. Says its on the right res and ive changed it to another and back to it but it still looks the same :S
 
Dunno if it was just server lag but bullets travel amazingly slowly as a marine lol. I love the way you can destroy the lights though on that level making it pitch black. Got trophy killed by an alien a few times in a pitch black room, scaring the crap out of me every time. If the hit reg and bullet speed are just lag then it should be a good laugh at release
 
Im must agree, bloody awful game, mouse feels laggy and thats just in the menus, massive border around the screen and thats supposed to be at 1920x1080, getting hit once by an alien means your going to die as a marine as you cant get the rifle back into position before they attack again, no aim down sights, anything else ive forgotten?
