Aliens Vs Predator MP demo up tomorrow!

Juicy Details

I can't wait to fry some marines with a plasmacaster. I only wish the demo was TEAM deathmatch, not just FFA. But I'm glad the demo is launching with a couple weeks to go. gives everyone enough time to judge the game pre-launch, hopefully it's up to par.

cool thanks ill download this tomorrow hopefully its good

Don't get your hopes up. It's the same developer who made shellshock 2 and rogue warrior.

:D Screenshots look good. Can't wait!

Meh we will have to wait and see. I have extremely low expectations for this game.craigalan23

to the "Haters" (for lack of a better term) -- yeah but they also made the first FPS Aliens vs Predator back in '99 (which was excellent), and the dev has had a nice full development cycle on this one (2.5 years). this game is their baby, I doubt they'd b0rk it. but we'll see for sure tomorow (gameplay wise)

Playing the pc demo on steam and its not very good.

But then again I was excited for this game for the SINGLEPLAYER and not the online.

I really really wish the demo was for singleplayer.

The online is just clunky controlwise and not that fun, seems tacked on.

Ill still buy this game for the campaign though, it looks very fun. Just the online demo didnt give me any hope fo the multiplayer

Combat is frantic and exciting = rock, paper, scissors mechanic, unrivaled atmosphare, etc

stealth kills are always time consuming and of course you are producing a hyperbole in terms of the time it takes = solution = dont play as an alien

You Troll hard,

yeah, I can confirm the demo is up on Steam, but not XBL (yet).

Troll more

Can't wait. Should be fun.

Demo is better than nothing. At least I will be able to try it out.Expo_Smacko

played a couple rounds online (one match as each species. unfortunetly I was getting some nasty lag at times, but I think that's because of my firewall. ever since I moved PC online gaming has been fubar'd) so, on to the goods...

Graphics -- just as good as the screenshots. Sounds seems like they're all ripped straght from (all) the movies.

Marines -- easiest to use, as it's the most familiar. the "Heartbeat Sensor" from Aliens is actually the Marines RADAR. no other species have radar. My previous post (about MP) was right. you start with a Pistol and a Pulse Rifle, other weapons must be picked up.

Predator -- Rebellion dun it right. The cloack isn't pefect, but it breaks up your silhouette enough to still be usefull. seems like I only started with the wristblades (which was more than enough to run amuk shanking people). 3 vision modes: Heat Vision (the classic), Alien Vision (ripped straight out of AvP movies. everything is greenish, and Aliens pop us as neon green. can't see human AT ALL in this mode) and normal "human" vision.

Aliens: if you've read the interviews, they covered it pretty good. fast as hell, the ceiling is your friend. the first time you crawl up in the ceiling, and just wait for someone to run past, drop down and tongue-mouth impale their brains . . . oh yeah. you'll be hooked.

Final Word: Ever read a preview for a game, and something awsome happens, but you never see it for yourself when the game ships . . . yeah, not gonna happen here, I gurantee it. Each match I played had a great "Movie Moment" in it. From Shooting at an Alien, only to be impaled like Dillon by a Predator. To the Alien ceiling drop (mentioned earlier in this post). the best, was waiting for a Marine and an Alien to finish each other off (so I could move in), only to get spun around and be staring into the face of Mr. and Mrs. Ugly . . . about to eat my face.

bravo Rebellion, the full release can't get here soon enough.

(from my post in General Game Discussion)

--------

to poster above, Aliens: Colonial Marines fate hangs on the response to AvP. If AvP does well, Sega says they'll keep CM going forward (although honestly, it must be so far along by now that it'd be just plain stupid to can it now).

PC demo kinda sucks.. so I wouldn't expect much. Stealth kills are too easy to do also.

Will the demo be out in Europe tomorrow as well???

can't wait for this game to come out. Haven't been this excited since MW2 and Mass Effect 2. lol

here the link for avp demo from xbox.com just add it to the xbox because last time i checked it wasnt in the demos section

Just played the 360 demo and it's the same as PC (not very good) only difference is 360 has more people whining about being killed, random insults etc.. because they don't know what they are doing.

I totally agree with you man. I played on PC and Xbox. This game is lame and repetitive/boring. I knew it would be considering Sega was involved. The game is so cheap..

I don't wanna play it...it looks really easy to kill people while in stealth, you could be 4 feet away from a guy and they still woulnd't see you coming.

i love the demo i think it is great but team deathmatch would have made a better demo

good lord this game will suck online. whoever gets stuck with the humans automatically blow chunks. half the time i got stealth killed within 3 seconds of spawning.mtradr43

Not true. The first match I played was as a human and finished second. There are advantages and disadvantages to all the classes.

mustang0712

agreed. I think this games MP will really shine in the more "themed" modes (like Infestation)

Meh we will have to wait and see. I have extremely low expectations for this game.craigalan23

exactly, but the trailers look good somewhat.

I tried the demo and cant say that I was very good. As the alien I could not tell where I was going, if I was on the wall, floor or ground. As the Predator, the stealth did not seem to work too well and I had to get right next to a marine to kill them and by the they had already saw me.

I dont know if it is me or the game, probably me

Pretty excited...

Not true at all. After playing several matches (around 15) I saw people come first in the score with all three species. The marines can hold their own just like everyone else. When I realised how I should be playing with a marine I was killing Predators and aliens left and right. None of the species made me feel overpowered, not even the Predator. The game seems well balanced as far as I can tell from the demo.

i played the demo on the 360. It was really bad. Being an alien was kinda cool but it wasnt enough for me to want to buy this game

yeah, gonna have to agree with Spike on this one. I've played plenty of matches now, and seen a good mix of all 3 species take the crown. Hell, I felt like I played Marine better than the other two species. my couple of first place victories . . . were all with the Marines... I LOVE the Corps!

have managed to snag 2nd with the Xenomorphs (Aliens)

and got 4th with Predator my first time...man the plasmacaster kicks major arse when you find it.

To all the kids complaining about the aliens/ marines

if your a marine work togethor and learn how to block aim and use your motion sensor

if ur the alien and your getting disoriented slow down the sensitivity and move a little slower, you get used to it but.... if your constantly changing walls and jumping your making it harder on yourself. Pick a surface (either floor, ceiling, left, or right wall) and stay on it.....

I've gotten in first with every class btw

The game is perfectly balanced, more than happy with this. Can anyone actually disect the demo and prove how they dislike it? validate themselves please?KorruptRaiden

The controls are average, the level design on the level is bad and the matchmakign is bad.

The demo has nice atmosphere though and good graphics imo.

Im still excited for the game for the campaign, but the online demo was not very fun imo.

I can get kills with every kind of character but the game is just not that fun.

The controls for the Marine are very clunky and not very good. I can get alot of kills with the Marine but the controls are just not acceptable imo.

I loved the old AvP games so im looking forward to thsi new one... even with a bad online demo.

The demo is only one level and only one mode though, so there is still hope.

this game sucks...just my opinion..

I couldnt even last the whole match...I was frist then 2nd and was bored to death.

Its all dark, you have a crappy flashlight and you kill wtv moves..

just not my cup of tea
