Sneaking up on a marine and ripping my claw blades through their throat was awesome! I enjoyed being the alien as well. A lot of people stand in the corner waiting to strike, thinking that they will be safe as they can kill you before you get to them... But on several occassions I have used the ceiling ducts and beams to sneak up over and behind them, watching them for 10 seconds or so as I'm right above them, then dropping down and slamming my tail into they torso with a 'grab' kill. Brilliant! I loved it I must say. Sneaking up on a marine and ripping my claw blades through their throat was awesome! I enjoyed being the alien as well.

Added to that , the Aliens Jump and focus modes seem redundant, perhaps it works better in other modes, i think there is alot of wait and see, and i think there will be alot of updates I’m concerned, with several different types of predator/alien/marine there is going to be some serious balancing issues in terms of power, there is alot of potential problems there and im willing to bet that online players will work hard to find exploits to allow them to keep their faux-crowns of “i’m the best cause i cheat…i mean win!”.

Finally got to go as the Pred and really loving the disc! It’s a lot of fun, which as you say if it’s the weaker of the multiplayer elements it bodes well for the game!

It's probably one of the weaker areas to release first. But keep the faith, it gets better.

There was a kind of horde mode Colonel- It was called survial. From what I remember there were a few marines stuffed down a very tight corridor. We just had to fight off stronger and stronger aliens. It was hard to kind of work out what was going on, and the space seemed a little tight, but im sure with some proper instruction and practice it will be worth it. 7outof10 word of the day- Joygasm!

Looking forward to some AvP sessions with you boys XD *runs away and joygasms in the corner* I’m so excited about this title I can’t wait, I keep joygasming all over the place at the anticipation :P

I loved the first 2 games on PC. If the single player is as good as those games then it will do for me. But the multiplayer has got me really excited. I can still hear the screams of my friends as I snuck up on them as an alien. Pogo, I'm glad you're scared of those tails.... I'm gonna exploit that when we meet online ;) Man I am so pumped for this game. I loved the first 2 games on PC. If the single player is as good as those games then it will do for me.

The infestation mode sounds amazing, really a playground game with assault rifles and acid-blooded xenomorphs!

There was alot of speculation kicking around at the event too. The verdicts coming back from the singer player were a very mixed bag. Let's hope the three story idea holds out. As for the marine weapons, they fired nice.They felt and sounded like the movies - a little innacurate but competent at mid to close range. Some other weapons were dotted around too, but i didn't get chance to play with those too much. Really want to get back on it and get a feel for it when co-ordinating with friends.
