Crouch would be nice for hiding behind crates or avoiding friendly fire.
Pounce is Shift + Mouse 1, or Q + Jump. The second one does less damage but stuns the Marines.
The demo is an old build.

I noticed that the Predator crouch while I was near a ledge standing still, but that's probably just to add style. Anyway, the game is pretty fast paced, being crouch will only give me a bigger opportunity to rip of you head right out of your shoulders.Crouch would be nice for hiding behind crates or avoiding friendly fire.

So far the game is a pretty must buy. Aliens are amazingly fun to play as. Marines can be fun but also annoying because you die so quick. Have yet to play Predators.
I would however give the game a 5. But not the PC version. I would give the console version a 5. The controls were crap, couldn't hit anything as a Marine, and every time, and I mean EVERY TIME, an Alien attacked me they ALWAYS did a trophy kill on me. Even when they were facing me. I hated it.
The PC version however, is amazing.
I tend to like Game Informer when it comes to reviews, but this one seems off. I played the MP demo and its fun. I am still looking forward to it.
[QUOTE="o0squishy0o"]Did you play it for more then 15 seconds? Crouching is not necessary (the alien is always crouching anyway), jumping is not broken and neither is the alien movement, you can pounce.Yeah I did and its a horrible demo/game. Crouching is not necessary? how could it not be necessary its a part of movement and added gameplay. You cant pounce when you want to it seems to be either when you face certain walls and then all of a sudden you stick to them (i guessing thats the point of it) and this hold E and grab, barely works properly it should be a simple click and its done. If you have played the ones before this you should know this game is one massive step backwards.Everything seems so clumsy when you play. The combat system is dodgey. Seriously if they just update the gameplay mechanics from AvP2 it would have been awesome. NOONE can crouch, the jumping is broken. the alien movement is broken as well. No pounce?.

Unfortunately I have my fears with the game after playing some of the multiplayer.. It felt extremely clunky and dated when it came to mechanics and the like... I just hope the game proves my observations of the demo wrong.

I tried the demo a few times and I think its an intereating mix of classes. I was having fun as an alien trying to creep up on a predator in a 2 player scenario. I was killed 3 times in a row, but then got 3 kills in a row myself once I learned how to use the alien.
I don't really think there is any validity to complaining about the iconic motion sensor. Nor complaining that the predator is too stealthy. I'm getting it anyway. I think the game graphically looks very nice.
Confused. Didn't Aliens the movie have the motion trackers make noise? That's what made it freaky, darkness with some light strobing effects, and nothing but the beep beep as the aliens drew in closer. Didn't the Predator kill by stealth in the movies?
Also about Aliens walking on walls and ceilings make it confusing? That's because the human brain is not used to that. This gameinformer should stop reviewing in general or actually watch some of the movies to understand.
I didn't mind the demo, knowing it is only a demo with 1x level and 1x standard game of play. Look at ARMA2, demo was the worst made, now the full game is more polished and running much better.

How are the mechanics dated? I don't get it. No iron sights or what?
As for the Left 4 Dead comparison up there - lol. Just lol.
The demo doesn't really tell you anything. Multiplayer only, and you are playing on what is likely to be the least fun game mode on the worst map.
If that was what the review said it doesn't sound like it was very well written. As for people saying the guy didn't play the last games, that is just stupid. He could have very well hated those games too, or with how games are made now he could just not like the series anymore (everyone loved RE4 then started complaining about how you move in RE5 compared to Dead Space, things change).
Wow, it looks like they haven't played the first game, or second. Why else would they complain about these things? ****ing noobs.:x was gonna say the same thing, playing as an alien in the originals was so much fun and the multiplayer was awesome i probably sunk more time into AvP2 online than any other game iv played excluding MMO's.[QUOTE="Baranga"]
I saw scans.
It's a one page review.
It complains that the motion tracker makes noise.
It complains that the Predator is focused on stealth.
It complains about the linearity of the campaign.
It complains that the Alien's ability to walk on ceilings and walls is "confusing".
It says you can't see anything because the flashlight is broken. Hello, flares?
It complains about the "shallow" melee system.
It mentions the multiplayer - the main focus of the game - in only one sentence, and only mentions deathmatch out of the 7 wildly different modes.
And worst of all, it says it's only on 360 and PS3.
Stay calm, this is one of the crappiest reviews ever.
Some quotes from the review:
"Some gamers might appreciate how all three races can go head to head in online deathmatch, but nothing else about multiplayer feels fresh."
"Sound: Listening to aliens crawl through vents and jump out at you would be scary if your motion sensor wasn't constantly bleating in your ear the whole time."
"Worst of all, the Xenomorph's ability to walk on walls makes navigating the world a disorientating affair."

Well usually a game that looks good in temrs of graphics technology, is also good in terms of ratings and reviews because the good technology hints the design quality of the game!
I dont care what any review says, I've really been enjoying the demo. Loads of fun once you get the hang of all the classes. With more MP modes and 3 SP campaigns, im getting really excited. And FYI, I wasn't too impressed with the demo at first either, just got to give it time and learn the melee system.

I can't believe some of you are taking gameinformer serious.millerlight89Better to believe GI than IGN...
[QUOTE="millerlight89"]I can't believe some of you are taking gameinformer serious.edgewalker16Better to believe GI than IGN... Hardly, I agree more with IGN reviews than I do with any other website/magazine.
Using GameMisinformer for ...umm...information was your first mistake. Even if they are correct on all accounts, their reviews and all other related content is usually par on for terrible.

Great we have people rating a game based on looks. Maybe you should go work for GameInformer. i am sorry M&M (based on your picture) and your right let me clarify. I have watched gameplay videos and my friends play the game, when i say it "looks stupid" i mean in genral not just graphics for instance. everyone is entitled to a opinion and my opinion is a 3 or 4 you even opened my eyes to be more critical so i will actually change that to a 2.468-3.054789510 out of 10 range if that is being critical enough for you.[QUOTE="dakan45"][QUOTE="millerlight89"] I hope you are not serious.millerlight89Well usually a game that looks good in temrs of graphics technology, is also good in terms of ratings and reviews because the good technology hints the design quality of the game! You can not judge a game on looks Dakan. If you even think that is a good idea you are positively wrong. Ahh,, you did not understand anything from what i said. :( So i am gonna say it again: If a game looks good in technical terms, graphics, technology, is gonna get high rated reviews. Like crysis for example or if it comes from an AAA company, like cod mw2 or valve. But in this case, you can see from the trailers that avp does not sucseed on those things so the reviews will be lower and the quality of the game would most definelty not be that good.
