[QUOTE=lilcheeselad;20021051]My first time playing, I waited about 15 minutes while looking for a match, I start dozing off while it's looking for one, I finally get into a lobby, suddenly there's a big PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGAPIHSSSHSHH coming from everyone's mic and it scared the fuck out of me, the game starts, I'm waiting at the loading screen, the loading screen starts stuttering and the game crashes.[/QUOTE]
Welcome to the wonderful world of the AvP demo
Game play wise it's obviously a console port and the spastic camera combined with the terrible ping will leave you confused and disoriented until some other person gets their bearings and hits you to death a couple of times
Can't even play it.
It keeps crashing every time the server starts.
is the demo not available for german users?

fuck this shit
Hopefully the bugs get ironed out and some things fixed for MP.
I'm personally only looking forward to the SP in the game.
ALSO, let's not forget that they said the fate of Colonial Marines hinges on the reception this game receives. If it doesn't sell well, we'll never see Colonial Marines released. How crappy is that?

It has blood in...of course it's going to be banned in germany.
@silvermann: i had the same problem, you have to visit the uk steam website and download it from there.
[editline]02:27PM[/editline]
but i wouldnt suggest you to, i havent found a single server yet. Trying for about an hour already.
This demo is bullshit.
They finally got around to releasing a demo for this awesome game and they released a Multiplayer demo, i was like "Oh this demo will probably last me until the game comes out" (Still under the impression it was a Singleplayer demo)
Then i find out it was a Multiplayer demo and was like "This shit won't last me two fucking days"
God damn it, this matchmaking system is horrible, took me 10 minutes to find a game, once I got into the game I heard this weird ticking noise that I think was the clock, I don't know the UI was so bad I couldn't make 2 cents of what was what. After a few minutes of playing I get killed by some alien who was hiding in the shadows. It's pretty hard to fucking see them when 3/4 of the map is completely black and the other quarter is dimly lit, I know this is probably to set the mood, but god damn it seems that it's balanced for the aliens. Now after I get killed I go wandering around the map, trying to find those damn aliens, but then I just said fuck it and camped in a corner. After I got bum rushed by one alien because he wouldn't fucking die, I respawned and wandered around the map some more, I eventually picked up a minigun that automatically tracks the aliens, but once that depleted I just had to switch back to my other weapon, but before I could do that I got hit in the back by an alien, and when you get hit you can draw your weapon, only fly back half a foot, and then it takes you a few seconds to recover, but by the time you recover [B]it's hit you again[/B] so if you get hit once you're pretty much dead. The horrible pings and the inability to mute people just adds to the bullshit.

Woops, fucked up on the bolded part, it's supposed to say [B]it hits you again[/B] damn garry and his lack of edit button for the news node.
Anyone figured out how the mics?
I mean, my mic is on constatly and it really makes such noises that makes other people leave or yell at me. ><
Apart from having no sound, and not having been able to join a single game in the last 4 hours, i totally enjoy it so far.
Matchmaking is supposed to be quick, quick game is supposed to be quick, it is all so SLOW.
I got a game within 20 seconds ???

Goddamn you are an idiot.
I got a game, and then THE DEMO FUCKING CRASHES WITHOUT A MESSAGE.
[QUOTE=Bishop869;20017063][B]NOTE[/B] This was my experience. Your experience may be different.[/QUOTE]
Mine was waiting then raging.
I've downloaded the demo, started it, and did a quick match.
Sure was exciting, looking at that "Searching for game_".
German players use

Alternativly, when someone is playing the AvP demo, you can rightclick on them and click 'Launch Game'.
It will then open the Install window.
I'm quite glad my headset has a button on it that mutes my mic. At least I can be considerate even when others can't/won't. Sure is fun hearing everyone breathe into their mics an then have it get amplified repeatedly by everyone else's mic in an endless loop of what could be a prank call.
[QUOTE=GammaFive;20017149]lol no crouching, 100% auto aim melee attacks and everything pretty much kills a marine in a single hit.[/QUOTE]
I'm actually surprised anyone thought it was going to be good. Colonial marines looked fucking awesome, and t got pushed back for this heap of consolified shit.
I tried this both on console (360) and PC (PC).
Both have connection issues with finding and staying in games. It's not just the PC. 360, too. As with pretty much every single game, the controls feel better on the PC. It's an incredibly fun game, but the demo's limits are pretty shitty. 8 players doesn't feel like enough. I wouldn't mind it except you have to divide it into equal teams of predators, aliens and marines, which you can't do.
It could be much better, but it's still fun. I really enjoyed being an Alien.

The PC version also runs great on my fairly dated PC. Nvidia 9500 GT, 2 GB of ram and 3500 AMD processor 2.2 ghz can run it on high at a playable framerate. It doesn't look fantastic to begin with, but they're good for a modern game.
I prefer the 360 version overall just because the people seem more fair. The included gamemode in Deathmatch and in the PC version all the other marines were shooting me, but it seems people work together as a team of marines/aliens/predators instead on the 360. Very nice.
This shit is getting downloaded tomorrow, word.
I am not looking forward to playing this game based on what you guys said. Hopefully i will be proven wrong.
I'm currently downloading this right now and it's almost done.

thank you:h:
Ok first time around it really sucked but I guess its ok for now. I've been kicking ass as a marine.
Don't see what you guys are complaining about. I find a game in about 40 seconds. Plus, I'm not stupid enough to die from a predator that just heavy attacks and then Trophy Kills. I just want a different game mode and map for the demo.
Well, at least Predator vision looked cool.
