Meh - better things to do with my time.

I think it's a shame you didn't give it more than that. What turned you off of it so bad you didn't last 5 minutes?

One thing to keep in mind about this demo is that it isn't an accurate representation of what PC multiplayer will be like. Dedicated servers, game modes that require teamplay and forethought, dedicated server options(Like turning off the trophy kills), bigger game populations, all sorts of stuff.

The demo isn't new player friendly, at all. The controls are awkward until you're used to them, and then the game becomes a lot of fun. It's even better when you can convince the server into a race vs. race battle, or teaming up with players of your own race. I mean, the first time I played as a Xenomorph, I didn't know what I was doing, and I thought the game was slow and awful for it. Until I learned the controls, and the aliens are even faster than in AvP2, much more easier to control, and by far easier to fight with and against.

Marines are slow and awkward, they can't see very well, they can't hear very well, they're weak, and the whole map is dark or flickering with glaring lights that get in your way. It's wonderful. It's what playing a marine should feel like.

I agree with most of this but I don't think that turning off trohpy kills would be fun. It is so much fun to stab someone though the throat. Although the stack ups do get a little lame.

I really think that people should watch around them before hitting a trophy kill.

Also I don't think that much of the multiplayer modes will be that much better, personally I just can't wait for the canibalism to stop...

Also infection will be fun.

This game as I have said before will be good for SP and a decent MP attachment, I doubt and probably won't support a TTP server.
