Even if you missed and died, it was still hilarious watching them spray ammo everywhere
Regular alien coming at them? Controlled bursts and precise aiming
Facehugger coming at them? Wildly flailing their mouse, spraying ammo all over the place like it's their job while yelling and backpedaling as fast as possible

So are there many folks getting this for the 360? I need a time sink multiplayer game after I get back from a holiday and MW2, more often than not, makes me want to punch a puppy. I imagine it'll be good what with folks saying it's going to be awesome.
Of course I've never actually seen more then ten minutes of an Alien movie at a time and only the very end of Predator. I do know how the aliens work though!

You owe it to yourself to watch Alien and Aliens, and kinda skim through Aliens 3. Resurrection did not happen.
Predator is ace, and Predator 2 has Danny Glover, so that's pretty good.
Avoid the AvP movies. At. All. Costs. Please. please.

See the Assembly Cut of Alien 3 if you can, it is a much more complete version of Alien 3, and it benefits greatly from it.
And no matter what anyone says, AVP-R was rocksauce, not a movie that will make any top 100 lists of best movies of all time, but it is still an enjoyable romp. AVP though is mediocre to a T.
I thought AvPR was complete and utter trash. Listen, when you shoot the words "Aliens" "versus" and "Predator" at me, I think of the two of them going to town on each other, a la the completely fuck-awesome comics. It suffered heavily from Transformers syndrome, in that it should've been called "Angsty Teenagers featuring Some Aliens(Robots) or Some Shit."
AvP is a different story. I think it legitimately tried. I think it tried to meld bits of The Thing with Aliens, but again, too much boring human. If it had been more of the Predators on top of that pyramid mercilessly slaughtering millions of aliens, I would've been all for it. It doesn't help that the chick at the end totally wanted to make out with the predator. I mean, come on.

Honestly, that part, and the baby factories near the end, put me off the movie. Just went too far.

I can, occasionally, derive some enjoyment from the first AVP. It's not the worst action movie, but it's just not great movie with Aliens and Predators.
AVP:R was so utterly terrible that I simply have no comparison for it. It kicks not one but two loved franchises squarely in the balls because everyone involved clearly had absolutely no damn clue how to make a good movie, much less a good movie with Aliens and Predators. It was inexcusably horrible. It was just terrible in pretty much every single way possible. Not to mention the horrifically ham-fisted way the whole thing is tied in with Weyland-Utani.
My main gripe with the AVP movies is that humans are treated as blood fountains rather than a legitimate threat and all the writing forces them to suck and die until only a few plucky individuals are left and they turn out to be invincible. It's like every movie involving the Aliens/Predator universe tries to actively avoid doing anything with how awesome the Marines are in Aliens. But that would require intelligent writing and decent acting; I don't think we'll ever likely see another good Alien or Predator movie ever again thanks to how horrible AVP:R was.

Sorry I didn't post the first ten minutes of the marine campaign video sooner. The quality isn't great and the player is dumb in a few spots (he wastes an entire minute at one point), but you see some cool atmosphere and level design.

alien vs predator did not have gary busey , therefore it cannot be better than predator 2.

When someone says AVP was better than Predator 2, we aren't just talking about different opinions, we're talking about different realities.
Just watched that Marine video and regardless of anything else, that motion tracker always give me the chills. Just because you know the direction of the horrible monsters doesn't mean you know where they'll actually come from. Nice to see that it still picks up random crap like moving cables and rats; nothing defines embarrassment like whipping around and firing at rat scurrying down the corridor.
Also, hearing the sergeant or whoever say "molecular acid nasty so kill them at a distance" and for the very next line say "let's go inside" made me laugh. I have but one very obvious question and that would be "how do I get out of this chicken-shit outfit?"
And just in case that one guy who doesn't know is here, Bill Paxton is the only actor to be killed be a Terminator, a Predator, and Aliens.

Bill Paxton is patron saint of getting his ass handed to him by non-human things
Just watched that brief 10 minute video. The player was pretty dull, but I was liking the vibe of the facility. You are gonna be a scared, scared biotch when you are playing as the marine, I suspect. Things bumping, motion tracker wailing, exposed pipes venting steam and THEN OH GOD IT'S ON MY FACE!
I like it.

Lance Henriksen has been killed by all three as well.
He was killed by a Predator in AVP so it doesn't count since that whole movie doesn't count for Aliens or Predators or anything besides another "aliens kill all the humans" movie.

Oh, I'm well aware. I was simply building up on the most ridiculous movie combination ever.
Seriously. I can't think of a way a movie could be more awesome.
I think I'll watch my Alien Quadrilogy DVD set in preparation for this game. It's a pretty great box. I hope that comes out on Blu-ray soon, too. I'd eat that up so very fast.
Edit: Apparently that's coming out mid to late 2010.

So apparently there will be no crouching in this game.
And there will be a typical "action" button that does even the most mundane things that you would usually just do yourself (crawling in and out of vents, etc).
This worries me. It's the little things like this that make me wonder about the overall quality of the game.
Sadly, this has gone from a "day 1" to a "demo first" for me.
Yay, here come the ignorant, smartass retorts to saying anything negative about a game that PA has set upon its throne.
Whatever.
Anyone who disagrees with you about a game is ignorant and a fanboy! I'm so glad I learned this so early in the day, it gives me so much more time to load up AvP and enjoy more glorious crouching.
