Seriously. Alien vs Predator might soke up SC2 playtime

[Islandsnake]

So I just broke out of a grab o.0 with a alien or at least it didn't kill me

[Edfishy]

So I got one 10 minute match in before I go back to studying and... I am disappoint. 5 people in the game, 3 preds, 1 alien, and me as the marine. I didn't stand a chance. I control like I'm covered in cement and the insta kill grabs are not cool.

Oddly enough, I've found playing as the Marine one of the more rewarding characters to play as in the game. There's something about beating down three aliens and two predators with your mere human weapons that's extremely satisfying. Marines get a bit more "oorah" to their kills because the enemy comes to you.

I had to reconfigure the controls to my COD6 standards, but they seem to be generally more responsive than Splinter Cell was back on the Unreal 2 engine.

Ok, I am not minding the one hit kill moves at all they seem balanced, but its frustrated being killed while performing them or having some one else do one to you while your still performing it.

It's almost to the point where killmoves shouldn't be available in FFA deathmatch. It'd be different if you could hold a button to see a third-person view while performing the killmove, and then have the ability to cancel if trouble arises, but right now you've got to be real particular about when you use it.

Because the other modes actually give you some allies, I'd expect the killmoves to be a little less frusterating with the full version of the game.

Just a side note, anybody else notice that even in a FFA game the Alien player's kill order goes Marines > Predators > Each other? Meanwhile Predators and Marines almost always will combine forces to kill the Aliens first, and then they duke it out.

Really? I found it that Aliens ownes the Marine and then predators and Aliens duke it out, usually with Predators wining.

I want to play so team game play, that or get up to some shneaky shenanigans in single player.

I read on the steam forums that this demo is the same demo they had at E3 2009.

So... it's really old.
