AVP: Aliens vs Predator

Post » Thu May 26, 2011 11:47 pm

Seriously. What is it with the times to find a game? -.-
I have yet to get in a game and I've had the demo for about 3 hours.

Takes me about 2 minutes

Lemunde helped me get into a game just now, won my first round with a score of 16 or 17 I think, playing as marine.

But this game was terrible, the controlls are way to clunky, feels like I'm a walking mushroom.

I've played a couple of games now, and I absolutely love the Alien. Perfect for my playstyle. Don't really like the Marine at all though, too slow paced for me, and I don't like the constant motion sensor checking you have to do.

I love the Alien as well, I sit on the ceiling of that one big room and jump down onto passers-by. I also dislike playing as a Marine, the constant beeping drives me insane.

Open Steam -> store -> type in AvP in the search -> click on the first AvP on the list -> top right is the link to the demo

At least, that's how I found it.

It's on the STEAM store front. It's too the far right.

EDIT: Under Steam News

That explains why google failed. :P Installing now, I want to see how overall the feel of the game is. I managed to scraqe up enough money for a game. It's this or Awakenings. My FPS needs are severely high. With TF2 and CSS getting stale and old.

Whenever I'm above a marine I always lock on(using focus) and lunge at them using light attack, but they always blow me away, any tips for sneaking up on marines?

I'm using alien btw.

Its all personal preference, I guess. I just don't see the general advantage of having range, when an invisible predator with sketchy animations due to connectivity issues charges at you (incredibley fast) jumps over you and begins to auto-lock and attack you to death.

Perhaps if the marine had a shotgun or an autolock machine gun, he may stand a chance, but i've killed countless marines doing exactly what I just depicted to you. I noticed that there different characters you can choose in the full version. Pehaps there is a marine that starts off with a more versatile gun.


The Marine actually has both of those weapons. :lol:

Also, add me to the Steam list: kajjak (LockjawJones in-game)

EDIT:@fallout3newbie: Sprint, sprint, sprint. The motion tracker generally isn't fast enough to detect you, and as long as you're on the ceiling or wall the Marine will be at a severe disadvantage. Stay away from any Marine you know has a shotgun though, because that damned thing 1-hit-kills both Aliens and Predators up close.

It's really fun, my favorite species is probably predator.

Humans are weak sauce. Holy crap I put a clip into a [censored] alien. Through a combination of it's strength and the guns crappy accuracy it didn't go down. Then you just get stunned until you die. Game over, and a yawn fest. I managed one kill only. The other times the enemies were just too damn fast, strong, sneaky, and they could stun me.

Humans have no place in this game. hahahaha.

Like I said before, it will be a lot more fun when it's five of you running around watching each others backs and blowin' up some Aliens. :shrug:

Probably, but they should buff the humans in a death match game. As they are, the humans aren't fit for a death match style game. I couldn't be bothered to try and play a human past 10 minutes. It was just a futile endeavor on deathmatch. Hopefully the other game modes are more interesting, and not to mention the marine feels clunky.

They should've put atleast 2 gametypes in the demo, one for free for all and one for teamplay, but then again we're lucky we gotta demo.

Tried the alien, and it is much more my style. The pounce is weak sauce, but I felt it balanced them out. I remember the days of jumping across maps in two jumps. :P This is much more believable.

Poor humans, only the tenacious ones who can get a few shots off during my attack ever managed to kill me. Although it usually ended in draws if I did die. Predator... one on one and a direct assault as an alien is suicidal. I don't think I was ever in a position to sneak attack a predator. Which means they are doing their job good. Although their cumbersome speed means they can't race all over and keep up with aliens. So he was naturally under scored compared to aliens, BUT he also had the fewest deaths as well.'

Edit
I have a feeling the Predator is going to irk me to no end at how much he changed. So I will preemptively say I don't think my paly style will be similar to the Predators.

Just got destroyed by Lemunde, he was a marine and I was a predator.
I can't get used to being a predator though.
