Thread: /_\|||AVP 3 TPGers|||/_\

I don't know who has all the legal stuff for AVP2. I'm sure Fox has the most important parts, but Sierra is gone. Not sure if they were bought out or just folded up. Rebellion made AVP 1 and they are still around.

I don't think it's wish full thinking to see AVP 2 on steam, just not sure how long it's going to take them. Would be amazing to get multiplayer games with that again. That was the first game I ever played online.

I'm talking strategy.

Personally, I've found the shotgun works best on maps with small passege ways. Double shot will stump aliens rather well, but I find it falls short against predators. Good old spray and pray from the pulse rifle to use multiple shots to break their cloak advantage.

The controls may seem rather clunky and well that's because they are. But, really you just need to pratice as best you can. When you know which direction your enemy is coming from, a quick block of the light attack and a smack upside the head has been working crazy well for me lately. Mostly on aliens, predators continue to be a don't stop shooting til its dead.

You can get pretty good accuracy with quick burst fires from a distance, hold back on letting loose until they are right ontop of you.



As an alien, focusing/sprint and waiting until you have a green broken circle aroud a target before you attack has boosted my kill success a boat load.

I've noticed alot of folks playing predator will block right after being attacked. I ussually sneak up and pull a focus attack then step back and charge the tail attack. Block when you can, when you get knocked down against a predator it's pretty much over. That and remeber E grabs from the front can be broken.


If your a predator... just stop. Everyone hates you and all you seem to do is disc, plasma cast, mine and E grab.

I was using the spear

haha

All of you are poop

AvPGalaxy – One of the most interesting aspects shown at E3 was the co-op. When a player drops into the game do they take the place of one of the main story characters or rather their custom characters?
Gearbox Software – When a co-op player drops in, they take control of a freshly-spawned character that retains all of the perks and upgrades they’ve unlocked. This is done primarily because each of the main characters has their own distinct role in both story and gameplay.

Aliens Colonial Marines - hands-on multiplayer preview | Technology | guardian.co.uk

Within 20 seconds of our first game, journalists were instinctively huddling their characters together, not really out of strategic necessity, but out of fear – you don't want to be alone in there. During the game the Gearbox staff are regularly shouting "stray sheep", whenever they spot an isolated marine – they then work together to pick him off.

So, is it gonna be left 4 dead with aliens? Well sorta but no. We will have a main story with a linear aspect to it but still have free roam options and alternative routes to complete. And the Co-op, well seemingly you can run the main story and fight another team of aliens.

Some good Single player video and a nice show case of multiplayer in the second video.

A Gametrailer.com video leaked a bit about multiplayer itself. Kills earn XP, XP is used for unlocks. Unlocks for both aliens and marines. Grenade launchers and different breeds of Alien with special abilities.

Exclusive: Gearbox Reveals Details on Aliens: Colonial Marines, Prometheus, and Lance Henriksen - Forbes

Pitchford said that Henriksen isn’t the only guest star we’ll be hearing from Aliens either. Is it Sigourney Weaver, who played Ellen Ripley? Michael Biehn, who played Corporal Hicks? Pitchford kept mum, damn him.

Weyland-Yutani Corporation–a.k.a. “The Company,” the ethically challenged builders of deep space refinery vessels, atmospheric processing plants, and artificial persons–has also sent a team. They’re currently exploring a derelict alien vessel, one thousand kilometers away from the colony. Along with the serious marine-on-Alien FPS action, we can also expect some tension between the military and Weyland-Yutani. Pitchford said,
