I don't necessarily mind that, I do mind that the Alien campaign is the shortest of all 3 :P
yea.. cause damn the alien is awesome. I was definately having alot of fun with it once I got use to movement.
I think it was quite challenging, the alien finale was a little difficult, but I worked through it, I'll be finishing the marine campaign later tonight but its pretty well balanced. (this is on hard difficulty)
It's not, for the record. Unless you're playing on Easy. You're not...playing on Easy....are you?:P
Play Alien through first, then alternate between Marine and Predator every level.
Then of course they fuck that whole thing up by adding loads upon loads of enemies and boredom sets in.
Mind you, my only options until some time next week are Wal Mart and Blockbuster, but still.
Edit: Oh motherfuck, apparently Delphi blockbuster has it, but no way I'm gonna be able to make it over there, let alone back to turn it in. Why does this world taunt me?
The flamethrower works best when you fire just enough for the Aliens to flare up, and then let them be. They explode after about 10 seconds. The only downside being they often try to grab you as they explode.
For everyone having issues with the Pulse Rifle, it's a lot like Starship Troopers. You have to find the sweet spot. Aim for the nerve stem and put them down for good.

Once I figured out the flame thrower trick, it was ON!

I have heard Infection is awesome.
Last night I was playing a species team DM as an alien. I was #1 in the match and aliens were winning. We get the 1 minute left until match ends countdown, and then about 30 seconds later BAM "Host dropped connection" and I get kicked back into the multiplayer selection screen. ~20 minute match down the drain as far as points go.
Also whats the deal with the ONLY ranked option being quick match? Makes playing ranked matches stupid. Really the biggest problem with this game is the matchmaking. It isn't very effective unless you just pick quick match any game type. Then the problem with player hosting is that half the time you end up in a game that is hosted by a laggy player. For some reason the main type of lag I get is "everything is fine for 15-20 seconds and then freeze up 100% for 2-3 seconds" which is super annoying.
When everything works right the game is awesome, unfortunately that's only about 20% of the time. Heres to hoping they implement the dedicated servers soon.
The option to use them is in the game but they don't exist yet. The game states it is beta right now. Not sure when it will even be available.
whoops:whistle:
Hang from the ceiling and pick 'em off one by one
So much fun
Also:
I like that this has only happened once to me, so far
I've had lots of equally awesome experiences, though
Marines vs. Aliens seems to work pretty decently, but predators are a serious issue. They can tank pulse rifle bursts, and every ranged attack they have is from 75% - 100% fatal in one hit.
Also, the flamer is completely and totally bad, as others have mentioned. It's like a gun that gently massages someone with fluffy kittens.
Where does one purchase such a gun
Surprisingly?
if you're not getting swarmed, it's a good means of ammo conservation. Alternately just pull out your pistol, since it has infinite rounds, and use that to finish them off
Fixed that for ya. :P

If I buy this on a console (Ps3) can my roomate and I both play on the same console in online multiplayer?
There is no split screen in any version of the game.
It was good playing with you last night Angry Puppy. We should definitely do it again sometime.
you will get one tonight from me.

SEND THOSE INVITES
I feel this is my biggest gripe with the game. This would be so much better with local co-op.
What
ughhhhh
online co-op I believe, but not local.
I'll send you one off at lunch. I've got Bamelin on my list already.
"Online co-op" is two survivor maps.
That's funny, I love killing predators in melee as marine. The aliens though can fuck right off.
I don't understand
I'm not sure. I'd say it's unlikely. I remember hearing somewhere that a lot of games you can only do it by system link or just online, because the hardware isn't powerful enough to render a split screen game with the complexity that goes into games these days.
