Is a second one being made? First one had potential but the mechanics were barebone and very poorly implemented, what a shame

But thats an amazing game.

Gamenight soon™

>>13784514

Oh yeah AVP2 TBBC servers gamenight, I can see it now.

>Watch your step.. ah cmon for fucks sake I only fell 12 feet, how can I take that much damage? fuck you and fuck your marine.

>For such a tiny map I still end up getting lost.

And the best of them all: why does this game play like a Quake melee arena, but the custom maps are made like this is Half Life, Counter Strike and Alien Isolation?

Especially why are the multiplayer maps designed in such a way meant for singeplayer scripted events?

>>13784671

You know, you aren't wrong.

why are the player models so small?

why are the bullets so small?

why is the bullet spread so small and uneven?

IS THIS A FPS FOR ANTS?

The most important complaint in the history of a game. Proportions are everything. That and Monolith somehow managed to royally fuck it up.

Heey guyys wanna play a CO-OP map against AI in multiplayer?

>Fuck off anon!

>For fucks sake anon what the hell is wrong with you

>Oh god what a fag, a fucking fag.

>He wants to play Bunker, Cathedral and Nuclear_Reactor for the 11th time!!!

AI-controlled aliens are near invincible because of their fucked up armor rating in multiplayer.

At least you can hit them in specific areas (left arm and tail) and at most you can use splash damage and armor-ignoring damage to deal with cheating-hacking alien AI.

Monolith made sure screw up any attempt at co-op maps for multiplayer.

>Anon stop releasing the alien drone in the De_Dust map you fucking faggot

>Anons stop keeping me from releasing the alien drone in De_Dust map. AI aliens are fun!

>WHY ARE WE PLAYING COUNTER STRIKE IN AVP2 !?!?

>>13784744

Oh but the problem is when the map creators forget to add a pause for the spawner and the alien just keeps respawning in front of you as soon as you kill it.

It's even more sad when the players are more busy finding out every trigger in the map rather than the death matches.

There's PvP crazed players and then PvE crazed ones. The PvE ones are extremely frustrated for the lack of a good capable editor+engine and the PvP players are frustrated because of the OP weapons, hacks, shitty gameplay and 360 no scope contests between snipers and staggering pulse rifle marines.

Grenade spammers and AoE spamming newbies becomes a problem even for the pros. This wouldn't be a problem if the AvP2 characters weren't so squishy to explosives. They die far too easily from 1 explosion even when they're 2 meters away from it.

In other games your character can have a grenade exploding under him and he's fine. In AvP2 you have any tiny distant explosion killing you.

>AVP

These games were never good. Every single one of them were pure shit. Even Colonial Marines was better.

>fucking snipers

git gud

what is this

>>13785623

>mfw no Alien Tycoon game where you play as Weyland Yutani growing your own aliens in your laboratory and being careful not to let them escape or be forced to self destruct the lab.

>>13786731

>You will never create androids named David, Bishop, Walter.

>You will never recombine alien DNA to get the perfect bio weapon of infiltration andmass destruction

>You will never sell eggs and royal jelly for shit tons of cash

>you will never design your lab base in a way that makes chase sequences interesting or makes it impossible for aliens to break through your labyrinths.

>you will never design a lab without any ventillation system.

The Lith Tech engine still sucks dick, but you know what sucks dick even more? game companies making a habit out of never releasing an editor in 2008+, let alone the source code of a game.

>>13793073

If Monolith couldn't even get something as basic as a goddamn compiler working properly then I understand why I'm retarded to ask for working vehicles and proper physics.

There were a few maps where you had to ride in a truck and I kept sliding off it like an idiot at every corner.

I remember you in another thread, too bad I never got to playtest your map.

Do you have a layout,a sheet of paper or a replica in G-mod or Minecraft of your mod? I'm curious what the map looked like exactly from your imagination.

Your map sounds better than Suk_Stronghold 2.

>>13792547

>Human cosplaying as creature

Anon, I don't know how to say this but you have pure shit taste. Go full /xen/ or not at all.

>>13784744

God, those fucks at Monolith making AI drones take a billion bullets to kill in multiplayer maps, killed so many fun ideas. Yeah, you could easily waste them with the flamethrower, but most classes didn't carry those. Imagine being able to release a shitload of drones to cause chaos for the corporate or marine players in an evacuation map? Destroy some control system at point A, and a door at point B opens up a pile of crunchy trouble.

>>13795779

I discovered you could use the shotgun to kill them, but only with slug shots. No AP bullets despite their intent being to take down armored aliens.

You could also use the 4 grenades from the grenade launcher, even the EMP ones.

The rest of the weapons had no effect.

I remember the exo-suit was useful against MP AI aliens.

I didn't test out what predator weapons would kill MP aliens.

>>13797185

I think the speargun did decent damage? Hard to remember. I recall they didn't show up in various vision modes correctly or something, too. I'm surprised that I remember even this much from fifteen years ago. Another piece of bullshit was the fact that skins were client side, so you could make every class a solid, bright color, and stealth would mean pretty much fuck all. I would often play as a drone, hanging from the ceiling, waiting for an opportunity, but before long, people would just run into the room, look around, one-shot me with a grenade, and keep running, even though I didn't move, and was in a dark spot on the map.

>All of these fucking meganiggerfaggots who have not experienced the divine ecstasy of playing the traditional Predator mode

>Spin on the well known FPS gametype "Juggernaut" except the Juggernaut is the Predator and everyone else is Marines

>Predator actually has to use his wits to survive even with all his cool gadgets

>Marines actually have to use teamwork and stick together or get annihilated easily

>Maps are tense as Marines try to go to weapon spawn locations to get an edge on the Predator and the Predator lies in wait, somewhere, ready to spring his trap at any point

This is seriously the best mode in the game. Deathmatch a shit.

Oh yeah I remember that. If you crouch then you appear on the radar, that was so fucking bullshit.

>Search through 600-800 custom maps for multiplayer AvP2

>Find 2 The Thing maps on the AvP2 custom maps

>Nothing is happening.

>No real fight with The Thing

>No ending

>It's just another multiplayer map with some badly triggered special features.

My disappointment when I found out that most AvP2 custom maps are horrible when it comes to scripted campaign co-op fun.

I got spoiled by Starcraft 1 and Warcraft 3's excellent optimized engine and great editor which could turn a RTS into an instant roleplaying storytelling RPG experience with just a few condition triggers.

>>13786767

stuck forever in legal limbo

>>13784452

Yeah AVP2 why couldn't you be like your little brother, Half Life?

SS13 has a pretty good alien simulation game mode.

>>13808360

Jesus anonymous, you might as well play The Thing maps in Starcraft 1 if you're immersed by top-down perspectives and ms paint pixels.

>>13784557

>You can't crouch as the marine

>get blocked by door hanging from the upside and leaving some space to crawl, but you can't crouch

>can't slide on your ass like Indiana Jones or in that Warframe game.

>be alien

>can't openly walk all over the walls.

>only specific locations

But hey at least the Predator jump got improved. Unlike in AvP2 where jump a max of 12 feet, in AvP3 you can jump up to 60-200 feet.

>>13808545

I really like SS13 and aliums, so of course this skews my views a little.

Guys what if we… combined Assassin's Creed with Aliens? :O

>>13784671

Oh man bring back memories anon.

>survival on Quarantine

>everyone form a death wall pointing up the ramp

>have actually come close to surviving a few times thanks to that

>>13814519

3 praetorians and the rest going runners always murders that wall.

>>13819887

My trips confirm.

Hey anyone who played AvP2. What did you think of the Marine mission where you run away from the Praetorian and at the end you can either run away in the vent or try to kill it in the hallway.

What did you think of it compared to the similar The Raven mission in CM?

>>13784452

I thought AvP2 was great, what was wrong with it?

>>13821847

>you can either run away in the vent

are you serious? You could run away?

>>13822028

Once you break the welds keeping the vent gate, the praetorian breaks the gate door behind you and starts running towards you.

With the vent gate open you can either crouch and walk through it, ending the mission right there.

Or stay and try to kill the praetorian with your smartgun.

Predators ruined the Alien franchise.

Predator lovers ruined the Aliens franchise.
