Been playing multiplayer a little, it's kinda generic, the quick match system seems to be a tad lame, I thought they said they'd have dedicated servers!



we have to get a couple of guys doing the co-op survival, it's awesome! just got 65 kills before i got over run. I've turned down the gamma and you can barely see the aliens scurrying about.

Add me on steam if you wanna play, my names same as TPU name

For sure.

I agree that right now the multiplayer is a little weak without dedicated servers. We should have them really soon. I think once we have dedicated servers the MP will be 10 times better.

the MP itself is fun but right now using the matchmaking system sucks so I don't even bother. Once dedi's are up I'll be looking for a solid predator hunt server but at the moment it's takes too long to find a game and once you do it never lasts long because if the host leaves it's over

woah, just a score of 5000 on the survival coop mode, was hell but was so fun, needs a lot more light, such as those flares, and even the sentry guns for fun!

Finally got around to it.

First impression on performance is that DX11 executable (even on non DX11 hardware) is noticeably faster than DX9.
First problem on performance is that 10.1 ATi drivers and later sends me to desktop when I load a save.
First solution on performance is to use 9.2(note 9.2 hotfix version gives about 5-10 FPS more on the high end, keeping you nice and smooth). 9.2 vanilla is a bit slower and stutters some.


First impression on visuals is that it DOES look a bit outdated, I was expecting a bit more, but unfortunately..consulitis was not avoided here. The built-in AA does an ok job, but some areas it's really noticeably lacking.


First impression on gameplay is that when playing Marine, the weapons are awfully weak. In close quarters versus multiple aliens, you're pretty much screwed unless you grenade launcher them. Even the "normal" setting is more difficult than it would be in other games.

Predator controls are good, and neat as well, though that whole 'hold mouse 2' > 'mouse 1' to stun an attacker gets a bit annoying. Really it should just say Block>Light Attack. I'm also surprised how weak the Predator is, he dies way too easily.

Not done Alien yet, will get to that soon.


First impression on audio is that they're very well done, although a bit watered down. They could be a bit louder and more surround oriented.
First problem with audio is that now and again you get a speaker popping and intermittent cutting out of sounds.
First solution with audio has been none, except to not play any of the audio tapes you pick-up; though might be placebo.


First impression on stability is not so great. I get crashes everytime at particular locations, and it's really annoying that when you save, it doesn't save where YOU saved, it puts you back at a checkpoint.


Multiplayer as already discussed, but Co-op is where it's at. I cannot really get into any deathmatch, because Predator tends to end up being a one-shot 1:1 kill to death ratio frag fest.


If I could just get it to stop crashing, I'd be content.

My steam is autodomy. Stonesour i will add you today. I beat all the campains and I want to say that the marine wins by a nose over predator. Alien is not even comparable, but thats my thought. I played multiplayer and wow I never had so much fun. Multiplayer A+++ for this game guys. I still dont see dedicated servers when i browse for them??? Kind of waiting for them or am I doing something wrong?

Another cool game is shattered horizon by futuremark for $10 bucks. Best money I ever spent. Super fun and graphics are very decent to expect coming from a benchmark company.

we might be getting closer to something better as far as servers go. It looks as if they are testing their stuff now...
