    Aliens vs. Predator is a first-person shooter video game developed by Rebellion, the team behind the 1999 original Microsoft Windows game and published by Sega for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game is based on the Alien vs. Predator franchise, a combination of the characters and creatures of the Alien franchise and the Predator franchise.
    There are three campaigns in the game, one for each race/faction (the Predators, the Aliens and the Colonial Marines), that, while separate in terms of individual plot and gameplay, form one overarching storyline.
    Following the storyline of the campaign modes comes the multiplayer aspect of the game. In this Multiplayer section of the game, players face off in various game types in various ways

      I have some great memories of playing Infestation on that map. I remember it would get so tense, space-marines moving in a big cluster avoiding xenomorphs, when suddenly the layout would change and the guy lagging behind gets separated. Hearing him freak out in voice chat when his motion-sensor starts going off, before he gets swarmed and goes quiet. Man, panicky good times.

    The multiplayer died because it was HORRIBLY unbalanced. Marines had usually no chance against predators until they got a smartgun or atleast the sniperrilfe. Alien players just premamently used stun and finisher to get cheap kills.

Instead of trying "quick match" in ranked or searching for player hosted games, browse for "dedicated server (internet)" and you will always find at least a few people online. There are a few cheaters and some other spammers who makes things miserable at times, but it's mostly fun and there are a few really nice people that I've met on there.

    Now i want to go back onto the soldier campaign for a second, i had beat the campaigns for the other two races, but I was too scared to beat the soldier, when I finally did tho, it felt amazing, just to see rookie walk out of the temple, gun in hand, was a real defining moment in my child hood, i had accomplished something I didn't think was possible, and for that, this game will always be as one of the best to me and is defiantly in my top 10

    The way he describes the Predator's gameplay and story makes me realize that either 1. this game should've just been a Predator video game, or 2. that we should've gotten a brand new Predator video game ages ago.
    And just to be clear, by Predator video game, I'm not talking about Hunting Grounds. I mean, a single-player story-driven game that's made in the same vein as Alien: Isolation with the Predator being the main protagonist. I wouldn't know what the story would be about nor how it would be handled, but I'd definitely pay top dollar to play such a game.

Sounds like you kinda bash this but idk it was very good. You almost praised colonial marines more than this game and colonial marines was a mess... Nothing fun about that one really from the trash story to the gameplay i didnt even bother getting past the first hour of the game because thats how awful it felt to play. Sure the game was a bit short but it was very fun and satisfying. And you complain about the pulse rifle being weak. well yeah.. do you know how stupid it would be if it killed them in about 3 to 4 hits. what would be the point of the other guns then. I think your bashing this game a bit much, I always end up going back to this game at some point and always enjoying it everytime I play through it.

    I honestly really loved this game and really did...feeeeel like a predator or an alien while playing. I thought the gameplay was actually decent although situations usually play out exactly the same every time (like take out A soldier then B soldier then C soldier etc) but still...maybe I’m biased because I love the franchises but I do acknowledge and agree with most pointed out flaws. Didn’t stop me from playing through each campaign like 4 times 🤙🏼

    The worst part of the Marine campaign that was not mentioned in the review is that your uncanny ability to STOP A FACEHUGGER WITH ONE OF YOUR BARE HANDS.
    Killed ALL the tension that made AVP 1999 for me. I couldn't even finish AVP 1999's marine campaign because of that. Gave me nonstop nightmares.
    Other than that, ok game. Predator rules.

    My favorite campaign is the Predator campaign. It's the best version we'll probably ever get. The diversity of stealth and OP abilities makes it one of the more unique FPS campaigns ever made. Marine is standard shoot 'em up. Alien is standard stealth. Both good, but nowhere near the level of Predator's awesomeness.

    A thing they could have add with the harvesting in the Alien Campaign was to have other aliens you could call in for help later on or have the hive expand over the floor and walls, enchaning your hiding and/or regenative capabilities. Maby that was even the intention, but since the campaign is so short, they left it out as it wouldn't really matter.
    You know, nowadays this game would proably work better episodic. Splitting of the campaigns so they'd have enough time to flesh each one out.

    This game is awesome, I don't know if I would have bought it full price, but it's only $15 on steam i think, less if it's on sale. I think it's TOTALLY worth it, as I had an good amount of fun. The no crouching thing isn't a big deal to me, as it's not really a big deal in an corridor shooter. If it had more emphasis on exploration, yeah crouching is cool, but in linear shooters, going through vent shafts and under debris is basically padding, and useless. I don't hate corridor shooters as much as most people though. I mean sometimes you want something like doom or half-life where you get rewarded for exploration and checking everywhere, and sometimes you just want to play an straightforward game an shoot a motherfucker.

    I loved this game.... Really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the Predator campaign as well.
    For sure it would’ve been good if the marine had got a Crouch option, and deployable sentry gun turrets.
    And I also found the game to be surprisingly polished, like you said the aliens were surprisingly well animated and move from surface to surface with ease, with their animations gracefully transitioning.
    To date I’d say a AVP and alien isolation are the best video games we’ve seen of the source material.

And one thing i was surprised that people hate is the gore but i found it intresting including in the multiplayer that you see your fate instead cutting to black. I wish there is a sequal to tie up all plot points

    I love this game, and it has an average 9/10 rating on Steam so I know I'm not alone. If the multiplayer community was larger, I would play this daily. The game is EXTREMELY well optimized for PC, even old, shit PC's can run this game just fine as it has VERY low requirements for what it is. The single player is great, the multiplayer is godly. If you can get lucky and find a natural game, that's one thing, but I usually have to plan them out with friends.
    All in, I love this game and still play it for the multiplayer. It's a timeless classic that I never get bored of.

    Multiplayer was great until all alien players started to abuse "ambush stun" tactic.

    The brilliance of this game only really shines in its multiplayer. People will claim that it's unbalanced, but in my opinion, these people simply never overcame the steep learning curve for each species. The balance is there, assuming the players know what they are doing. Once you've learned the ins and outs of this games multiplayer mechanics, you quickly realize that it was designed primary for competitive play. It's just a shame that its plagued with connectivity issues, hacking, and an underwhelming ranking system.

    Its agreable that the AVP 1 and 2 had better alien campain when it comes to lenght and immersion. Starting out as a face huger was priceless. I was disapointed to see you skip straight to a fully grown one, but I guess it serves the purpuse of saying you were in captivity. Its still a bummer. There is some great potential here for all 3 campains and I'd be willing to see this as more of a pilot test to see if any futur work would fly or crash, and I admit to enjoye the game. It would just be really nice if a good horror writter would get behind that and make a whole new story. Good programer making playing it much more fluid, and yes I agree that a Marine able to push away an alien, who's known to be able to rip appart and punch trough armored heavy doors, is really dumb as hell, but I still have faith for the franchise. I mean, if you really want to play as THAT kind of marine, maybe it would fly better if you actualy played as a synthetic at this point. New model polished and everything. Making it more viable as how easy they heal (spare parts), how strong they are and why do they seem to take orders from anyone to go run erants alone. Not to mention it could really make the AI thing they had in the movies really shine compared to the simple combat synthetics. Just saying. The fascinated AI looking at aliens and predetor not with horror, but with a sort of freaky or morbid fascination for the potential of its specie, to then remember it was created by humans, and has for prime directive to serve and protect them against all threat. I'd go behind that... Any develloper listening? please?
