****Official Aliens vs Predator Thread****

As others have already said, the campaign lengths are disappointing to say the least.

Finished all 3 in next to no time. :(
 
I think they have a rough game in the predator campaign. I'd like to see a full predator game based around stealth. I pretty much only used the preds melee for the whole game.
 
I'd go for that, I must say out of the three campaigns I've prefered the Predator one. A full game based around that could be great.

Then again, thsi game could have been great :p
 
well i've played 12% of the marine campaign and i dont think its a bad game.
i quite like the sneaking around corners on the hunt for aliens.
the aiming isnt very confident inspiring and annoying at times.

i'm divided on the graphics. im playing on a 32" lcd from 5ft away and although the lighting effects are very well done
i sometimes find myself looking at the enviroments and thinking bloody hell quake 4 looked better than this when the xbox360 launched.

i love the sound atmospherics, they are just great.

i've only got this on rental and at this point i would say its deffo worth a rent as there are far worse games than this out there.
 
Had a few cracking games last night.

In a Pred Hunt, I managed to be Pred for quite some time. Tried not to go near groups of people and let them kinda come to me. Not easy with the time limit, but it did work this time.

I was up a tree and this marine was below. I was deciding what to do and kept walking up and down the branch of the tree, which obviously set his motion tracker off. I would have been at 0m range and he went mental, spinning round and round trying to find me, obviously thinking I was very close, about to melee him to death. It was like watching Homer Simpson doing that "whoop whoop whoop" spinny thing on the floor.

Peered over the edge of the branch, and dropped a proximity mine on his head. LOL.
 
I think the only 2 maps you can have a successful hunt on is Ruins and Jungle, they're maps basically designed for the Predator I feel. I tried a hunt a few days ago on refinery and it was just a disaster. Something that's really beginning to annoy me is how easy it is for Marines to fend off Aliens at close range, a Marine shouldn't be able to just shrug off an Alien close range attack then knock it to the ground with ease and empty a clip into it. Xenomorphs are a much larger species than humans it just shouldn't happen, I can't remember the last time I had a bad game as a Marine there's just too much of an upside.
 
Gateway isn't too bad for Pred Hunt, but the marines do tend to camp in the compound. Grab the disc from the trees, make your way to the gate and unleash hell..... then do a runner back to the trees. They will usually try and hunt you down.

I do okay on Gateway, the rubble beside the tunnel next to the labs is a nice spot to scan the compound with the plasma caster as it's right there anyway. I usually retreat into the tunnels if there's too many bullets coming my way.
 
Well from the looks of things, comments on here and reviews, my initial thoughts about this game seem to be right, apart from the much better graphics I don't see anything extra that this game delivers than AVP 1 & 2 I played on the PC years ago which were were TOP titles at the time and really pushed the limits of technology.

I think this game was just to get some quick cash, not enough work done to make it a "New" game from me, just something old, slightly polished and tweeked ... glad I've not gone out and got this!

The fun's definitely in the multiplayer, single player is a bit disappointing not quite as bad as some ppl on here make it out to be. If you can get a few mates on with you, really is good fun. Definitely not quite as good as the previous games on the PC but it's certainly worth a look.
 
I just switched from Human to predator single player and its saved over my human game.

Not happy about that, theres 4 save slots so whys it gone and done that?

Took over a week for my copy to get shipped to me and i have to say im not hugely impressed so far. Im struggling to get a MP game (all really bad pings but that most likely me, im gaming through a hotels connection) and the SP is too "on rails" and eventy.

Just finished marine section so fully done all sp and i can say i enjoyed each one allot, Might be a basic shooter but its a fun one so doesnt bother me. GFX dont see the problem with them tbh it captures the feel of aliens imo yes they could be better but gfx do not make a game anyway.

Only played 5 mp games but they were fun too not so keen on lobby system though
 
About half way through now - been playing a bit of each campaign. It's everything I wanted it to be - it's captured the pants-cacking I loved in AvP2. I guess as a fan of all things Alien and Predator, I work myself into an adrenaline-fuelled state so that every little noise and growl I jump at. :D It's a wonder I've managed to get this far.
 
My copy is being traded in this afternoon towards BC2. Was really looking forward to this and have put about 10 hours or so into it but really it is quite a mediocre FPS, the novelty of AvP has worn off so its going.

So disappointed :(
 
i really enjoyed playing as a marine.
couldnt stand playing as a predator.
couldnt get the controls in me head lol.
good job i rented this or i'd of been upset.
