I invited you but you didn't join, sorry about that. I had to get off though since I have to eat now.

Just played two games with Suffca. Went marine both times and had two of my best games. Got 18 kills the first game and won, got 17 the second and came third (the winner got 29 which was impressive). I'm liking taking a more aggressive approach as the marine.

I still can't get used to being the predator. It seems my cloak ability is always broken. :P
The last game was kinda fun because 4 out of the 7 guys were marines. Even though that predator was a bit annoying.

I'm still playing. God, idiots ruin this game. Yes, attack ME when the PREDATOR, that is RIGHT BY BOTH OF US, HAS A DISK. Freaking free double kills got handed out so many times. Some people, man.

Just got my ass handed to me. Didn't help the aliens were all working as a team and my fellow humans thought it fun to also kill me. Also I tried the block and then shooting an alien thing. It's just not as good as full auto spamming them. I tried it and my score svcked compared to when I just went full auto if I seen even the slightest hint of movement.

Although for humans I think the biggest factor is connection issues. If your playing against a guy with lag he may as well be a [censored] predator with a pulse rifle. Ill be dead half the time and a human lags by me out of nowhere. I hope they can fix those problems in the full version.

Hey I tried using my friends list to add you guys, but it says I need a game to use it. Does this demo not count as a game?

Im on the 360 and I gotta say that when you get people orgainzed like 4 marines vs 1 pred and 3 aliens it can be really fun, When the real game comes out the Predator alien human ratio is going to be 4 preds, 6 aliens and 8 humans. I have heard that the maps for MP are really big and that it is hard to regroup if you are the humans but if you have 4 men in a squad on different sides of the map it make surving easier. Another thing that I heard was that instead of having weapon drops on the maps you will be able to pick which primary weapon you start with as humans. The reasoning I have heard behind this was that most of the stronger weapons are usually pred and alien hunting grounds; that being said they are keeping the lock on machine gun and auto turret in said areas so that it is like a mission to actually retrieve the items.

Predators will spawn with the javeln, infinite land mines is being fixed and after the Frisbee hits an enemy it will return back to you.---- I'm hoping for weapon upgrades because it seems like the Preds are gonna be nerfed.

I'm amazing as the Marine. I take the hunt to the hunters. They fall consistently to my barrage of bullets. I love it, and I very often place in first with high kill streaks. The marine is definitely not to be thought of as weak. They all play very strongly if you use them right.

If you stand really still as the predator it's almost impossible for a marine to spot you when cloaked, but when you start moving around you become much easier to spot as the motion tracker helps point the marine in the right direction and then they can see a slight shimmer of the cloaked predator.

Yeah, every species is powerful in the right hands. I think it's very well balanced.

That sounds... perfect! Going to make a Seek and Destroy Group of marines!

I played two matches.

The first one didn't go well. Too many people and my PC didn't like that. Not one bit.

The second one we were: me (single marine), two Xenomorphs and two Predators. I didn't have as much lag but still pretty bad. ~12 FPS

Man I never knew how useful proximity mines were, I always put them in a room and lure an alien and BOOM! dead alien. I love it.

Played some more and I want to reopinionize myself. I think the classes are very well balanced. You just have to know what you're doing and have a plan.

Indeed. I think they did themselves a bit of a disservice by not including some sort of tutorial in the demo. A lot of people will probably be put off by the game as they won't know how to do anything.

I'm going to wait for reviews when this game comes out before getting it, it is impossible to find a game for me. From what I hear from you it sounds promising, but this demo was poorly done.

Yeah, it really forces you to learn on your own. While that's not a bad thing, it may sway some people into not buying it because they aren't patient enough.

Yea... like my one friend who says the him not noticing a predators mine on the floor because he wasn't paying attention to it is a game design problem... O_o
