With imageless being an old alien versus predator clan, there was some anticipation for this demo, as the clan as a whole have now played the demo, although the demo is a console port, i feel there will be some changes from this version too the pc full release version, but not too many , however i am quite suprised at the gameplay atm, at first glance this old avp2 veteran didnt think the game seemed up 2 scratch, but i felt i was going into the age old arguement of cs 1.6 is better then css, but unpon playing it more i felt the game had so much potential.

The imageless team although dm gametype, decided too team up species and play as a team, and found if the preds stick together can be a formidable team indeed, also get 3/4 marines together in ramp room that can also blockade themselves in can also become hazardous, the only species that was lacking in terms of teamplay was actually the aliens, however the way the gameplay has bin made for this species, theyve been given a hit and run type of strat, which suites this particular species selection

My own personal opinions of the game is it has a fresh new thing to offer and is very enjoyable and actually made me want too go back!!

Preds - loved the new jump-style, allowed my pred too be so versitile, however weapons stashes around the map was abit of a disadvantge, perhaps changed when we see classes? also preds shouldnt uncloak when using wristblades, other then that very solid species indeed, and with some artillary, very formiddable!!

Marines - loved the motion tracker with the high pitched sounds too tell the users if the motion was on same floor, however found some of the guns lacking, and made me want too keep with the good ol trusty pulse rifle, felt dark and scary playing the marine, which went back too the real old school avp gameplay, which is how it should indeed feel.

Aliens - loved the fast paces aciton of this species, and the fact of wall walking made me love the pick and pinn tactics, however felt although he had the speed, a good pred or marine player could pick off this species easy and felt this one was the weakest of the 3.


Demo download is now available on steam!!
