Aliens vs Predator Demo Now Available

Aliens vs Predator Demo Now Available

It's not a sequel to Monsters vs Aliens, don't worry

Written by zigs00 on 04 February 10 at 16:28

A new online-multiplayer demo for SEGA's upcoming Aliens vs. Predator has just hit the marketplace, available for download via the link below. The gold-exclusive demo allows you to play as all three species – the Colonial Marine, the Predator and the Alien – playing one on of the seven online game modes: Deathmatch mode on the Refinery map.

SEGA recenly posted a full dissection of AvP's unique three-way online modes on the blog, which reads as follows:

DEATH MATCH:
If you love a game with frantic, brutal chaos then Death Match in AVP multiplayer is for you. It’s all about getting the most kills in the time limit set. Players can also win the match by hitting the target score before anyone else.

INFESTATION:
For total over-whelming mayhem, nothing comes close to the tension and potential for pant-wetting scenarios than INFESTATION. One player starts the match as an Alien Hunter and their task is to kill the Marine prey. When a Marine player is killed they will join the Alien Hunter team and help to kill off any remaining Marines.

MIXED SPECIES DEATH MATCH:
just like Death Match, but with mixed species. Two teams, made up from all three species fight to get the most kills in the set time limit or to reach the target score before the other team.

SURVIVOR:
For the ultimate test of stamina, play Survivor Mode. Survivor allows for up to four players to enter an arena to fight waves of progressively stronger aliens. Each arena will be set up with two main areas. One will be a platform which is relatively easy to defend; the other will be an area where ambush by aliens is more likely. Supplies of health and ammo will re-spawn in this second area.

PREDATOR HUNT:
If you’re after a more stealthy multiplayer game go for Predator Hunt. In this mode one player is selected to become the Predator Hunter, the rest of the players take the role of the Marine prey. The Hunter must use the Predator’s stealth abilities and advanced equipment to pick off the prey and score points. The Marines will need to defend themselves from this threat and if possible, to kill the Hunter.

SPECIES DEATH MATCH:
Species Death Match pits a Marine team, Alien team and Predator team against each other in a race to get the most kills within the set time limit or to reach the target score before any of the other teams.

DOMINATION:
Take capture the flag to a whole new level with Domination. In Domination two teams fight for ownership of Control Points around the level. Owning a Control Point gives the team a small and steady, stream of points. The more Control Points owned, the more that team scores. A team will win when their score has reached 100 points.

As well as competitive online modes, AvP will also have three distinct story-driven single player campaigns for each specy, with all of them interweaving with the other species' campaigns.

Aliens vs Predator is currently set for release on February 16th in North America and February 19th in Europe.

Saw a commercial and a few previews, not excited.
If you wonder why, these are the same guys who made Shellshock 2 and Rogue Warrior: Two of the WORST GAMES out on the 360.


Demo may be good for a laugh

OK, so I played Rogue Warrior Multiplayer and Singleplayer and both sucked Rourke's hairy balls. This game is so much better, more polished and well worth it. I can't put down the demo and this is a must buy for me. I hate multiplayer achievements, especially in FPS games because I am not very good and can't get them most of the time, except with TF2 and BF1943.

Did you ever play the original AvP games they made? If not, you have no need to laugh because they were very good. Played the demo this morning and it's not your average joe-multiplayer. Give it a shot, and hopefully you'll forget those past sins.

Shame they didn't include a short sample of the campaign too, that's what's really going to sell (or not sell) it to me. Not including it makes me think they have something to hide.

I don't like the death match game mode but the other game modes should be fine. In Death match all people did was do the grab move and then grab the person doing the grab move.

I'll be buying this.... just not on the 360. Hosts rage quitting just isn't as fun as it should be.

And also, with the marine, HOLY AUTOAIM.

The Demo is amazing. The darkness brings you back to the movies. The one shot trophy kills only happen when they get you from the back. As for not including campaign in the demo, they don't need to. Bad Company 2 is a MP only download as well. This game is going to be addicting.

What a disappointment. The classes are so unbalanced. The alien wins 9 out of 10 times and the tenth game is a toss up to either the marine or the predator. Like someone said above me, all the game is, is grab moves. Gets boring after about 5 rounds. Never to be played again.
We are all the same in that we are all different.
