Or maybe they just realize it's deathmatch, not team deathmatch.

[Cthulhu]

It's not that, everyone kills each other, but aliens seem to be driven by this single-minded desire to kill other aliens, even when there are bigger threats nearby.

[fenrif]

Aliens are the only other things that can catch an alien. If a marine or a predator goes for me, I can just run away... But an alien will just E-kill you from behind the moment you slow down, so you gotta take it out first.

Least thats how I see it

[Jakkarra]

WHich is why i always hop to the ceiling, or stay there permanantly.

You can't synch kill from the ceiling, which is FUCKING RETARDED.

At least let us Skewer Marines and Preds from the roof! it's annying having to hop from the roof! to do it!

[fenrif]

Yeah thats well annoying. Also if you do a focus lunge leap attack thing, and one of you is on the ceiling, you'll end up anywhere, facing any direction, except for where you want to be.

I'm assuming that stuff like this is because its the beta or whatever, and theyll fix it in release. Hopefully anyway

[Cthulhu]

One thing that really bothers me is that the predator's pounce at max range doesn't do enough damage to trophy kill afterward, but does enough damage that one claw attack will kill him.

It's nearly impossible to trophy kill a marine without heavy attacking him and then hitting it (Have you ever tried heavy attacking a marine as a Predator?  Heh...)

Which sucks because predator-on-marine fatalities are awesome.

[Nilocy]

I love the alien kill-move when he impales you with his tail, and the marine turns his face to see the aliens growling beside him. The first time that happened to me I actually shat myself.

[Cthulhu]

Turning around and seeing an alien behind me just pisses me off now, it's irritating how much they spam it.

I can live with that, though, one thing that really needs to happen is heavy attacks need to be nerfed or there needs to be a proper counter for them.  There's no real counter for heavies right now, unless you're on crack and can hit them in a half a second before it hits.

[Davion]

Also, did anyone else notice that the aliens seem to attract retards?  You could have the marines and predators all members of an elite clan and teaming up, and the aliens would still be tail-whipping each other off the ceiling.

Yes

It's a blessing when you join a game and you're the only Alien because you can actually get shit done instead of having to constantly watch your back.

[Cthulhu]

I'm getting sick of aliens in general.  Two predators, one marine, five aliens, it seems like every game is like that.  I still haven't seen all the fatalities against marines, partly because they're too fragile to properly weaken without killing them, and also because no one ever plays them.

[umiman]

This is the worst piece of shit demo I've ever played. If their idea of trying to attract new players is this, with no tutorial and shitty console-based controls, they have failed miserably. I expect the only people who can stand this demo are those intimately familiar with the series already.

Edit: I'm not insinuating that the game is bad though. Just that the demo is horrible.

[Soulwynd]

Every demo is bad.

And marines are great. I have no idea why people wont play them more.

[fenrif]

Maybe because marines suffer most from it being deathmatch instead of some form of team based game?

Also, out of the three races, they're easily the most mundane. And one of their weapons is just crap.

They're still fun to play, just not as much as the other races.

[Cthulhu]

Yeah, marines are really strong once you figure out block-counter.

I still love Predator the most, and more games need fatalities.  As a predator, I shoved my hand into a man's stomach and pulled his spine out, taking the head with it.  I wish I could've seen my face the first time that happened.

And yeah, marines are meant for teamplay, and even with derpliens tailwhipping each other you can't make up for a group of doodz watching your back.

[FluffyToast J]

I got a 25 killstreak as marine the other day, after it finally found me a match.

I was so proud, but then some stupid pred just sync killed me. Made me sad. I still came first though. Ah, good times.
