Re: AvP servers?
I've never played it, but it is kinda funny. People want it to be like l4d, but then when it's like l4d, they claim "copying" and then won't play it.
Me: "But the Gunslinger is so much more fun..."
Langrad: "We're here to win, not to..."
Me: "Have fun?" "Hahaha"

Re: AvP servers?
I don't think we should have a TTP steam group because it is not a TTP game and is not a teamplayer game, but you can create a personal group and invite me to it, I love avp. Mainly aliens.
Also I can't wait for the new Predators movie:

Re: AvP servers?
Game is $33.49 ATM on steam.
I think I'll wait till it's $20 or less.
Reviews don't seem that great, and I'm still (re) playing through the first one anyway (Which is a meager $5 on steam as well)"The bravery of idiots is bravery none the less."

Re: AvP servers?
First off, screw steam
Go amazon, i got the game at 26, its now 28, I checked it the other day and it was at 22.
Learn to wait for a the 4 day shipping and save the money for something else.
Okay, yes the game does has teamplay potential, there is even a game mode where teams battle over capture points just like BF2. Survivor, infestation, and team death match would clearly be an amazing experience if there was 18 people working together. The potential is there, thats why I pushed for the server.
But the game is held back by several issues.
The push to talk system suffers greatly from a transmission issue. You must wait 2 seconds after pushing to talk, otherwise what you say goes threw with a stu stu stu stu stu stutter that sucks the life out of what ever you are trying to say because people dont think about the stutter and just yak away. A great way to distract you form whats happening thus leading to being impaled by real illegal aliens.
The map selection is rather limited, 6 maps in all, and people are alreay freaking out about the need to pay for DLC when the games falls on the light side of online content.
The lobby system allows you to mute a players and the lobby lead can give the boot of folks, if they havent fallen asleep at the wheel like they often do, but once in game I haven't found a way to get ride of jackasses who enjoy blasting heavy-throat-death metal over a crappy mic system.
The mic system tends to transmite to everyone so while you maybe able to trash talk the disc spamming pred you just head bit, you can't organize your aliens army to stage sneek attacks because everyone hears what you say for server game modes. *note all but more then it should*
Other then graphics, the game lacks anything new making it a major turn off for folks who aren't avid AVP fans.
The game lacks any good size player base. There are loads of empty player match server but having been out and finding a ranked game was easy weeks ago but is now nothing more then a tubble weed scene.
It doesnt make economic sense for TTP to invest in a server that isn't going to see much in the way of player traffic and won't even hace much of a dedicated player base of TTP regs.
Honestly, the game just can't stand up against todays gaming selection, gears of war, Halo *i just threwup in my mouth a little bit there* CS, BF2, BC2 L4d. The game just doesn't have much of a chance of going anywhere.
I'm a huge AVP fan, i would love to see a TTP server, but what i want doesnt match up with whats best for TTP.Dispatch the DooM

Re: AvP servers?
Before you try to talk teamplay into AVP Go talk teamplay into halo.
That is all the game modes are.
They all come from halo. Domination is 3 points just like CoD, yes that can have a chance but even CoD was ultimately put down. TDM is nothing but people running around. The aliens are too fast to follow as a team, someone makes an unexpected turn and they are lost.
I've tryed it people it doesn't work. A TTP server wouldn't happen even if there were more people in the game.
The player base is NOT our player base.
18 players is nothing sort of a clusterfuck.
And I still play it because I am an avid avp fan.
And steam is awesome.

Hell, it was so popular Lucas Arts did a BF2 knock-off with Battlefront and Battlefront 2), and requires teamwork. It even makes sense from an AVP lore standpoint: The Aliens are smart, coordinated and try to take over everything (so why not a cap point?), Predators think they own everything and know they're the dominant race, Humans KNOW they own everything and Want to be the dominant race. It's just so stupid that it's not a game mode available.

Re: AvP servers?
In all honesty, I'll play just about any game they put out... even the bad ones, on the chance that they'll be good.. and some are fantastic: KOTOR 1 and 2, Republic Commandos (if only it wasn't so fuckin short), Empire at War (and expansion), the Lego games... yes the Lego games, The Force Unleashed (loved it), both Battlefronts, there was some Jedi game I can't recall the name of that I thought was cool, even the console game of Ep 3 was pretty decent.
