NEW alien vs predator

[Arclight]

I tried a mission as a marine a few times: walking down a dark corridor, and suddenly there's a blip on the motion sensor. I freeze in my tracks and peer into the darkness... nothing. I look at my sensor again, and I see 2 blips light up. "Where the hell are they?!". Another glance, now there's 4. "Oh crap...". A shadow moves across the ceiling, coming straight at me. I raise my weapon and start blasting, a second later I'm dead.

Pretty hair-raising experience, too bad I didn't have a PC of my own to play on at the time.

You've should seen me and Dowly playing as marines against 1 predator played by pennelope grey.

the marine radar really made you jumpy because she played as a real predator (instead of the gun&run you saw in public servers) so most of the time the radar barely picked up anything but when it did we just fired in its general dirrection *blip!* AAAAAAAAAAAAAH + (insert random gun&explosion sounds here) mostly to confirm our wasted ammo was in vain she pressed the button to perform a predator taunt and shortly after either my head or dowly head was cut clean off and the cowards we where the survivor if he had the chance just ran away

good times

Hehe, speaking of our games, just watched the deathmatch vid with Mikey's commentary 30min ago.

Good times indeed. Sadly they never made the SP coop mod to work properly.

Was that AVP1 or 2? I didn't like AvP 2 deathmatch so much as the species were unbalanced, particularly the predators which were totally invisible if they did not move and had a whole stack of advantages (the shoulder gun was almost impossible to evade).

Anyhow an AVP1 multiplayer story from me. It was TDM me vs 2 guys I knew, I was playing marine (they refused to let me play alien with em ), and they both were predators, the three of us were on teamspeak so I could hear them talk. Anyhow I decided to break the natural order and go hunting for them, and started playing psychological games with them. I would hit and run them, set up ambushes (with spider mines), lure them and confuse them with random taunts and gunfire, and listen to their confused chatter on Teamspeak and once in a while laugh at them. At the end of the match they won, just barely in combined kills, I was one short from tieing them. I laughed my self silly listening to their worried whispers on teamspeak when playing them.

Naturaly they wouldn't let me play as an alien as I had already individualy terrorized them as one before several times.

That was AvP2. And yeh, the Predator was pretty overpowered. The disc, the blast thing and the shoulder cannon combined with the ability to see both marines and aliens clearly was a huge advantage over the other species.
