I remember playing this game when it had a ranked scene and tripping tf out when I finally got the alien net head skin, it took a very long time to find ranked games even in 2011-2012, I was 7 playing this and my favorite mode was infestation, would love to see a spiritual successor for this one day
My personal favorite mode in the multiplayer was Mixed Species Team Deathmatch. Two teams like a normal deathmatch, but you could have any mix of Aliens, Predators, and Colonial Marines you wanted. My brother loved being an Alien and I loved being a Colonial Marine and together, we killed a lot of other players.
This game is so much fun! I still play private matches with my cousins from time to time because it’s honestly a more enjoyable experience than most multiplayers today. I just wish it was more populated.
HANDS DOWN BEST MULTIPLAYER EVER MADE for 15 bucks you can’t go wrong it was so amazing unbalanced and so much fun damn I wanna play this with a whole lobby again
Back during the ps3 era this game is actually how I met a lot of my life long friends that I’m still pretty close with today. Such a odd thing that a niche game like this can do that.
Batman had a really fun asymmetrical type multiplayer where you had joker and banes gangs going against each other but you also had Batman and Robin trying to stop them
I've never seen one of your videos before but I played this on Xbox all the time and it is such an underrated banger. All three campaigns were great but the multiplayer too. Good Marines can keep you from ever getting close, always have grenades, and aren't afraid to melee before using both triggers of the pump shotty to try and one shot you at point blank range. Good Xenomorphs are wall crawl masters that traverse environments with the same level of comfort upside-down as we do right-side up, and are the most efficient backstabbers. Good Predators are expert Smart Disc throwers who aim for the target's head from a distance or even during up close combat for one shot purposes as well as the damage it does on its way back; they also know better than to only use the fully charged Plasma Caster shot but rather utilize an unlocked, uncharged shot as a free knockdown in close quarters they could follow up on with a heavy attack, Proximity Mines are also nasty if used as grenades, or the player in question has nasty placement. I saw how quickly you adapted or remembered how the heavy, light, and block system worked. The only thing you were really missing were homing attacks and maybe Xenomorph tail attack and homing attack from wall. This was super entertaining to watch thank you for the nostalgia :^) Edit: I forgot to mention feinting, winding up a heavy and canceling it with a block which was a staple in more competitive environments
The game is not dead. You can still find people that play online on dedicated servers. Sure they are not going to be more than 32 players online, but still.
This was the first game I ever remember playing. Will always love it, and it will always have a special place in my heart. 😢🎉 first video I've seen about it
I remember playing the hell out of this when I was a teenager. I would always go for the Aliens because I like stealth & wall-crawling (even if you could get stealth'd during your own animation). I also enjoyed playing Predator for the versatility. If you got 1 person with a mic, you could clear all the opposition with a couple SmartDiscs & the high ground together as predator. Predator-tools & Alien stealth were amazingly OP online.
The fun memories I had playing this when it first released, this game was so fun to play with friends yet it can be frustrating to get kills at times lol it’s a shame that no one plays it and the servers are empty I also remember the survival mode which was awesome good times. Watching this took me back to 2010 lol
@iiNfAMOUSxGamer I feel that ! When the new movie came out, I was thinking of playing alien isolation, but I saw this just gathering dust in my steam library and playing it with my friends. It just brought back so many good memories
I've been doing a new you tube lets play on this game, but I wish there where people plying in the multiplayer lobbies! This game deserves some more love!
One of best games ever made to date Despite the year it was made and not being groundbacking as a game but Just for How Fun It is and they gave everything we could want for a AlienVsPredator game! This was before Corporate Greed got completery out of control and ruined so much of the gaming experience with it's Micropayments and all that shit.
Only recently did I get this game, for the 360. Never had it when it was out, but dammmnnn did I ever miss out on some good times. But regardless, I LOVE how it has 3 separate campaigns. Super cool concept.
I noticed when I decided to pick this game up again after recalling its existence, because I love playing as the Xenomorphs, that in the campaign it seemed that each species is better at killing one but not so much the other like rock paper scissors. Alien>Human>Predator>Alien it seems surprisingly balanced for an older asymmetric pvpvp multiplayer.
Here's a tip if you ever plan to play this again. You can hold down the light and heavy attack buttons/keys to block light attacks. This'll make it slightly more fair for the marines 👍
I remember playing this on Xbox live back in the day! I feel like it’s the first multiplayer game I actually got pretty good at lol One problem back in the day was that when selecting teams almost nobody wanted to pick the marines so it ended up just being Aliens and Predators most of the time which wasn’t nearly as fun as when you threw the marines in the mix but I have so many fond memories playing on the occasions you could find those perfect matches
You know since people liked Alien: Romulus, we should try spreading the game around and hope it gains some traction since the gameplay is awesome for such an old game and the multiplayer servers are still up
As a AVP 2010 veteran, Shotguns are the most overpowered marine weapon, People usualy miss use shotguns as Assault Rifle is all games so did you. I still playing avp every day and ''i can still'' playing the game.
You definitely can find games still on Xbox. Sure it's almost dead, but you can still find people playing it and if you set up an LFG you'll be good to go. Especially on the weekends.
because of this video I made my friends buy this game to play with and only 2 out of 5 of them managed to buy it during the sale sadly now the three of us made it a routine to play this daily
Cryin, this’d be on its legs again if it were in the era of crossplay. Ps3 servers are a bone-town. But this really brings back how scared I was to play to Marines as a wee lad :]]] (fun editing btw, yous are a blast)
This will still play just fine on pc, as long as you got people to play with, i wish they added ai to the mix so that you could also play against bots, you can also play the campaign online if you do some slight modding, i highly recommend checking that out
A game i would immediately play would be a friday the 13th except the jason is the aliens and instead of a camp it would be in a spaceship, just like alien romulus, where u have to escape of the place.
the game is still amazing! wait...ranked matches work?! o_O I wish I had friends to play it with. Also, I've been playing the previous AVP game all the time online with some random people on my self-hosted server...was so much fun! (just couple of patches to bring back online features)
Played this on PS3 back in the days, the game was banned in Germany so I had to order an imported version from austria. I had the most fun playing as alien because you are insane fast, can climb on every surface, hide in shadows from humans which all is excellent for quick ambushes. As Human I always use the pulse rifle or shotgun, the sniper and smartgun were in my opinion trash. Predator was good too, the smart disc was huge fun, decloaking and lure human players after you, recloak, hide in plain sight and ambush was so fun. The campaign was good too and I liked the story of specimen 6 and rookie, predator came too short and the alien story could have continued after 6 molded first into a praetorian and play as that huge tank.
@handsomejack3149 Oh wow, now that's interesting. I know a lot of other places ban certain games because of the violence. Was there any other game you really wanted to play, but couldn't coz of that ?
@@SimplyCallum01 in the past there were a lot games that got banned in Germany because of that graphical violence shown or forbidden symbols/imagery(like swastikas in wolfenstein). Some games got unbanned after a certain period of time passed and are rated again from a more actual perspective. Prominent examples of (once) banned Games in Germany are: Postal, old Wolfenstein Games, Manhunt, Mortal Kombat on PlayStation, 50 Cent Bulletproof, Hatred and many more. There are two ban lists: Games on list A could still be purchased if you request them which could be difficult to find a spot that sells it (like I did with AVP for PS3, no one selled it in Germany that’s why I had to contact a dealer in Austria to sell me it), on list B the games are completely forbidden and you can be punished with fines for owning them. Sometimes only certain versions got banned for example Area-51 (cool fps action with alien powers), only the PS2 version was legal and every other version got a ban.
The only game I ever wanted but didn’t get was postal 2, which is unbanned now in a certain re-release or bundle, so I dl a cracked version from a sharesite in the past.
Played the hell out of this game. 2010 thru 2013. Til Aliens Colonial Marines came out. Multi-player was the only decent thing about that game. I think they should remake both of these games. Alien Isolation still gives me nightmares every time i play it. Still haven't finished it lol.
@SimplyCaIIum Yeah my anxiety can't take that game. So I just play Aliens Fireteam Elite. At least I can shoot something. All that hiding in isolation. It gets me every time.
Okay I have to say this as a shotgun main in this game. Bro the shotgun is actually broken as fuck in this game. It’s just that it’s double shot is so much stronger than it’s normal shot. I’ve made many a mate rage because I was wrecking them with that gun.
@@SimplyCallum01 🤣. Good times. I hope you can convince your friends to come back to the game from time to time. Some of my fondest memories of gaming come from this game.
What do you mean cant play anymore...? Was it finally taken off the steam store? The game still has a relatively active fanbase and as far as I know was available not to long ago
Unfortunately, as it's such an old game, not a lot of people play online anymore .. you can still play the multiplayer, but it's a lot easier joining your mates than looking for people. If we can get the game back on the mainstream, then it will be easier to find people
Shout out to my boy DuttySherwood. Him, DetonatorOrgan, and myself, RandomRampage, used to have a blast back in the 360 days. You don't make friends online like you used to.
Tired of hearing people say "not a single person is playing the multiplayer", there are fucking hordes of them, they just play on designated dedicated servers and only at certain hours of the day.
It becomes a horror survival when you play as the marines

I’m gunna buy this. Let’s hope your video has populated it enough to find lobbies!
Got into a full lobby on steam yesterday. Found n made a full lobby group to play it now. Old but still best aliens game to date.
I absolutely loved this game and I still do

still holds up doesnt even need a remaster.
U guys have to play this again. I was dying the entire time
This was peak with the bois after school. I liked playing as the marines because of the flamethrower and shotgun
Check out Natural Selection for assymetric mp shooter. Aliens versus Marines, very Alienesque. It even has rts elements and basebuilding.
I noticed when I decided to pick this game up again after recalling its existence, because I love playing as the Xenomorphs, that in the campaign it seemed that each species is better at killing one but not so much the other like rock paper scissors.
