Wow, it works right off the bat! Didn't expect that from a 15 year old game LOL :-)

Just wish environments were bigger - rocket launchers and grenades are really suitable for enclosed spaces - and the speeeeed! Way, way too fast for me. Prefer it slowed down and more stealthy.

The server I played on was like going back to Quake days but on amphetamines - oh my eyes!

Not much chance for survival tactics and teamwork.

Hope newer iterations and upgrades allow at least for better paced, more immersive game modes.

Actually remembered some of the levels from back in the day - how sad is that? ;-)

You can make it slower by altering the game speed in the server settings. The options for Game Speed are: 100%, 90%, 80%, and 70%.

Is this apparent before you join a server?
Where can I see what the server is running before I join?

Yes. The page that shows you the map, gameplay style, etc. also shows you all the special conditions and parameters of the server.

I also have a video on setting up multiplayer servers in which I go through each aspect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJMWx6XlZIs

Even when the game speed is set to 70% I believe it is too fast. Mainly cause I am outrunning Aliens as a Marine lol.

This game is screaming out for a pacing mod.

If you are outrunning aliens or predators as a marine, those players are not playing their races right...

It doesn't need a pacing mod. If you're outrunning aliens it's because people don't know how to play as the alien, which is not the game's fault.

I wouldn't mind such a mod existing since it wouldn't be for me anyway, but i see the extreme pace as something else unique about this game and it's a good thing imo.

It's the same reason i don't feel the need to rebalance races or weapons. The Predator's toys were designed to be exactly the way they were in the movies, Marines should be lucky to survive a close ecnounter with anything and the Alien... well 1 usually quietly slaughters a lot of humans and will rarely derp around in the open where it's vulnerable. It's designed to be a lightning-quick "Glass Cannon" and while not the most balanced thing in the world, it's sure fun to play that way.

There are more balanced and tactical shooters out there and this one stands out as something different. A good kind of different i hope.

Same here. :-D I think the game probably always was very fast-paced. But I'm an utter noob at online shooters (save for a few weeks playing Battlefield Heroes) and the dated graphics and immense speed of AvP make this almost unplayable for me, I'm afraid. Glad to see it working, though. :-)

I still maintain it would be interesting at a reduced pace, could make things far more scary!

I doubt they intend to change the game in any way. It's a classic. What you want is AVP2, that's more what you're looking for and one of my all time favorite FPS games, it's very well balanced for all sides and at a human pace. Stealth is there ish but it is rarely useful.

I'm sure in the future gog will add that as well which i hope they do!

Olde72 is right... tested some hosting with 90% a few minutes ago and it plays definitely smoother... teamwork should be no problem with lower speed, so the game-experience depends on the host!
