Well the Alien V Predator demo is Good ?

Well i dont know really because after downloading the multiplayer demo and trying to join a game the search function just does not get you into a game.

Just get the on screen message [searching for game] Yep thats really exciting looking at a loading screen for 5 minutes and nothing happening.

ThIs is from the Playstation store by the way so i dont know about pc and xbox live demo problems.

Well i thought Christmas had come and gone but there seems to be a lot of turkeys still about,just played the demo downloaded from steam and based on this rubbish that's another £40 i wont be wasting on this trash.

Have rebellion software actually ever made a decent game apart from there previous alien v predator game on the Atari Jaguar which was probably one of the best games on the system at the time along with Tempest 2000.

Saying that there was not that much on the Jaguar to beat in the first place and the consoles life span was short and sweet.............Seems these promising games that have arrived so far in 2010 are way below the standard i expect.

I LOVE the Alien movies & the Predator ones too, but the two combined in both movie AND games suck severely - I even prefer Alien 3 to them.

What a waste of a fantastic idea!

NS1 is still free to play as long as you have halflife 1.

Wish i could see this game in the same light as you two chaps,looks pretty average to me and the Giant monster type thingy just don't fit with the trailer or type of game play

I'll give a bit of background then.

Theres 2 game modes, one is combat mode, which is more straight up fps-sy the other is "classic"

Combat mode: you either go alien or human
If you go human you start out as a stock marine, you kill and earn points, depending what you kill i.e basic alien "skulk" gets you a bit of exp, killing the rhino thing "onos" gets you more obviously. From the points you can buy gun upgrades, armour upgrades etc.

Aliens you start off and you are a basic skulk then you evolve into other alien creatures like the gorge (basically like a caretaker), fade (big tall black things built for stealth and fast attacks), onos (big rhino thing), etc then you chose other other abilities and stuff etc, you get the idea.

Classic mode is more strategy based, aliens start with one hive, humans get a command center in which a person goes commander and for them the game is like an rts, assigning players to locations getting them to build stuff etc, for players the commander researches upgrades and drops them etc, the aim is to take down the alien hive(s).

For aliens they start with one hive and chose one of the upgrade towers, theres one which grants cloaking, etc, hives also generate points so individual players can evolve like in combat mode (but more restricted to what upgrade towers and hives are up), etc.

Thanks for the information FireFalcon and your time in writing all this stuff,are you actually playing this game or just the first one.

To be honest i have never heard of it and that just goes to show how i have lost touch with anything pc releated.

NS2 isn't quit out yet, its in alpha atm, as I said NS1 is free and available now if you have halflife 1.

NS2 has a ton of upgrades like alien growth that grows through the map for when aliens hold areas etc. It looks impressive and is low on requirements.
