tb87670: No servers around, so be aware. Also official forums seem to share a consensus among users that if you don't find a game in 30 seconds you will be stuck for up to hours, just go back to main menu and search again as it locks up after 30 seconds or so.

Well that's just messed up. Being a demo this means it will be in the full game.

Sorry buddies, can't play it because SEGA has seen fit to block even a fucking demo from Hong Kong, thanks to region restrictions.

jungletoad: The Aliens VS Predator (2010) multiplayer demo is now up on Steam! :D

It's pretty good too. Although my opinion may have been swayed by the fact that I kicked some arse in it. Still, given Rebellion's developmental blunders of late it's surprisingly good.

I just watched the AvP MP trailer, and, well, to me the gameplay seemed a bit clunky. Many cool ways to kill people / aliens / predators, but I wonder how well all the one-hit-kill finishing move mechanics will play out in fast-paced multiplayer. Especially considering some of the animations take seconds to finish before your prey is dead. By the time you'll probably be well dead too.

Yes, this does happen. It helps if you're playing as a marine though because the game seems pretty unbalanced in favor of the aliens. At least while some other poor bloke is getting his face ripped off, you have a chance to pump a few rounds into the alien doing the damage.
I didn't enjoy the new one as much as Classic AVP, though that is largely due to my machine not quite being powerful enough to run the game smoothly on lowest settings. It is playable, but I'm at a severe disadvantage because of the choppiness. I also had a bad experience with people just being rude online and using a lot of profanity and racial slurs. I'm not a prude, but I don't find it fun to play with people that have no sportsmanship.

New one is badass and creepy with headphones! I played a ton on the 360 just now. It seems like it might be better on PC, I wanna try that out too. Either way it's pretty sweet! Demo is very very limited though.

exactly my thoughts upon watching the trailer. is there anyone here who really loves it or anyone who really hates it?

That game we had just now was insane. Like, HOLY FUCK I BLEW SHIT UP insane. We didn't have any plan, just randomly clicking on the screen until stuff died. And lukaszthegreat was the almighty Predator who kept killing the Marines instead of the damn aliens.
And I had the SADAR.
So let's do that again next week! And again and again, until we get bored!
Until next time, I'll just hit up TF2.
Also, I seem to be getting complaints (OK, just one) about having the same map, Elevator. I'm thinking of doing map rotate but since multiplayer's a work in progress you can't do that. I'll just hit up a new map each session or something.

It's alright, I missed Saturday.

Stranded is imho best map from the original ones. Reminds me Starcraft prety much. Used to play it alone (in skirmish. Fun!).

Yeah, I kind of fell asleep right at 2:45, 15 minutes before the event started.

I can confirm that it was awesome.
I suck at the game though. Especially seem to have a weakness for predators. I kept hearing "slash-slash' and then I died. Can't wait till next time XD

Yeah, it was good to play beside you LordCinnamon and michaelleung. I got killed by the predator a lot too, but he didn't seem to understand that it was everyone against the aliens. He wasn't supposed to be running around killing marines, which reflected in his low score.
It was fun to play with people that weren't complete strangers, even if you all are still kind of strangers to me.
