Alien Vs Predator 3 (Preview trailer released, half a second of gameplay!!!) - Games

I swear, this game has the best first person melee combat mechanics I've seen in a long while. While Predator, I like how you can actually kill an Alien without taking any damage (unlike in AvP2), provided you're good enough. Much better than the jump & flail-your-arms-like-mad combat in AvP2.

Why is there no Ping meter in this game? When i play it seems like 300 all the time.

[QUOTE=booster;20024366]Why is there no Ping meter in this game? When i play it seems like 300 all the time.[/QUOTE] Because it's hosted on someones connection and they don't want you to see how bad it is.

[QUOTE=Pinut;20024331]fucking TK bullshit from the front is pissing me off, no lag either[/QUOTE] The only game mode in the demo is deathmatch, there's no teams. [QUOTE=ripsipiirakk;20024263]It's pretty average. Just annoys me that most of alien players don't break lights for their advantage.[/QUOTE] Because of how fast paced the multiplayer is and how disorientating it is being the alien, it's not easy to knock out lights, plus i'm pretty sure most people don't even know you can do that, i didn't until I saw your post.

[QUOTE=Pinut;20024331]fucking TK bullshit from the front is pissing me off, no lag either[/QUOTE] haha

[QUOTE=Pinut;20024331]fucking TK bullshit from the front is pissing me off, no lag either[/QUOTE] Team kill?, but, the only gamemode is Deathmatch, not Team Deathmatch...

I really don't like how you can see the other players through walls as predator and alien, it makes hiding completely useless.

[QUOTE=RaptorRed;20024793]Team kill?, but, the only gamemode is Deathmatch, not Team Deathmatch...[/QUOTE] trophy kill seems too easy now with the lunge attack, no one seems to block it :sigh: also didnt realise but holding mb3 as marine blocks so yeah, light attack? and a block, saves your life and gives a second or two to unload if you pull it off.

It should be like if you spot the marine or predator the outline stays for like 30 seconds then dissapears

I think it's pretty cool, but everyone just steals the Predator as soon as they enter the lobby... I only played as him once and it's damn hard, the Alien is by far my favourite class at the moment, the Marine is totally overpowered, and that motion sensor makes playing as him the scariest thing ever. I was playing with a friend who was a marine, he was camping on top of a box, so as an alien I crept along the wall towards him and grabbed him from behind, scared him shitless :v:

Oh just had my first match... after 5 hours of waiting. Played alien and owned everyone, was pretty awesome. Now i just have to fix the no-sound bug...

I liked that playing as alien was smooth sailing between walls and doing all that cool climbing shit was very easy. Also playing as marine is scariest shit of all, when you get that sensor shit going off you know you are in deep shit. I had about 3 aliens stalking me and when I turned around I got raped. Marine vs. Marine is rather bullshit, it turns to generic shootout what can be interrupted by some alien TKing you and the enemy. I have not actually played predator yet. One predator grabbed me, I punched it in the face and killed it with a shotgun. It was badass.

Why can't I find any games when I try quick match?

I was just playing my 21th game (I counted because you daises told me you guys could barely get ingame), and holy fucking shit, this was the greatest match of them all. not because my K:D was high, more because I was on the alien team, and we were kicking ass, actually working as a team, which is hard to come by. also a tip on how to somewhat gain someone's trust: wait for him to do a trophy kill, go into their view and just don't attack him, most of the time they just run off if you do that, or maybe they stare for a bit then attack again.

this game sounds good i cant wait for the singleplayer.

For some reason all servers have quite lag for me. Possibly because they are all in US.

I just can't get in any. It just searches endlessly.

Downloading, soooo slooowww. 35% done after 40mins. Not good people.

That game I just had was pretty awesome... 2 predators, 1 marine and myself as alien. I tried to buddy the marine, i was just hissing at him a few times and always tried shooting me, I never killed him but kept trying to defend him from the predators :iia:. Deathmatch is way more fun with 4 people, especially on this size of map

You can defeat any alien as a marine with this method: 1. Shoot them until they get close, don't give them time to think 2. Block when they get close 3. If they use a light attack, block and immediately counter-attack 4. If they use a heavy attack, use melee This is a pretty big hole in their fighting mechanics. I've yet to find an Alien that is smart enough to get his ass around that tactic.

I fear marines as alien, sure they're easy to kill but so are you, I guess it'll get better one can learn how to do loops around corridors to end up behind people without losing where you are.

if you are an alien just heavy attack then light attack when they are stunned easy kill

[QUOTE=o DefcoN o;20025222]if you are an alien just heavy attack then light attack when they are stunned easy kill[/QUOTE] yeah I was more successful using heavy attacks today, I do better with aliens melee, I do quite bad with predator, I can't tell if there's a difference between speed or not due to the somewhat fast paced crap going on.

Besides taking like 6 minutes to find a game, the demo is great. You can tell it's made for consoles though. The melee has auto-aim and changing weapons... I don't even know how to. But it's still fun.

It's funny how even though it's just deathmatch, everyone (Besides a few select people) play it like it's a team deathmatch. Working together with other marines is awesome.

[QUOTE=darkgodmaste;20025297]E to grab. :c00l:[/QUOTE] You have to be behind your enemy to do that.
