- Fixed other players sometimes appearing to have the wrong weapon or continuing to fire indefinitely after dying

I thought the autofiring weapons were working as intended? I mean, when you die, don’t all your muscles contract?

Seeing as the term “dedicated server” isn’t use in the blog, but instead it is merely hinted at, just goes to show you how woefully unprepared Rebellion is. Did you JUST start writing the additional code for a real server browser and dedicated server support? PC gamers don’t want console ports, get your act together.

That should stay, or at least if it’s a bug it should be implemented in it’s bug-free form. Many people on steamforums agree to that.
As for myself, i never thought it was a bug, i thought it was interesting and realistic.

And what of us non-PC gamers? Where or when is the console patch coming, or even IF there’s one.

Ya, what the hell is that? AA only in DX11 mode? That’s bullshit. Every game that came out since DX9 had AA option. What the hell were u thinking. And, it would be fine if I could just force AA through my GPU console, but no because then the Predator’s heat vision is screwed up…

And btw, no WINDOWED MODE either! What the hell?

It is 2010 ppl! There are no excuses for lack of basic options & common game modes in games today. Absolutely NO EXCUSES!

Just look at UT2004. How many years ago was that? It had so many MP modes, which were btw available offline too, against bots with so many settings. How many years ago was that? Games should be getting worse as the technology progresses, they should be getting better.

What about the multiplayer dedicated servers? This matchmaking system is for bubblegum chewing 12 year old’s with ice cream stains on their shirts. WTF? The lag is horrendous to say the least. The multiplayer aspect is the main reason I bought this game.

And what about the issue with DX11? I believe people with Dx10 cards such as the Nvidia 280 GTX should still be able to play when selecting it from the game type list in steam. Screen goes very dark but mouse courser stays illuminated. If I record with fraps
under DX11, the video comes out normal.

What about the crouch button! are we ever going to see it in the game? And what about the many other complaints posted up in the forms @ Sega,steam and all the other AVP website. Do you people ever read them? I go to the rebellion web site and it’s covered with all these great reviews, and I laugh because myself and hundreds of others know the game is near broken.

Does anyone from Rebellion ever go to the forms and read the posts? There are hundreds of people complaining about issues this game is having. This silence and lack of communication by Rebellion will come back to haunt them in the future. Because I, along with many other customers will be very weary about buying another title developed by rebellion. You sold us a near broken game, so how about fixing it.

@#13:
Did UT2004 had 12h sp campaign?… u really can’t compare that… now i know they could’ve done things better but this game isn’t a modern warfare or anything else… IMO…
they did a good job for being a small team (although i hope they gonna do things better in the future).
for me, my only problem is, that i have no parallax mapping in dx11 mode (running on dx10 hardware). dx9 runs fine for me with parallax but i wud really like to take advantage of the performance gain.

Mariens:
Fix please AI – its to stupid, marien get killed, others doong like nothing happend,
wile they shood been on high alert, looking for a killer. Making fast investigation, what
couse the dead of there mate, to know who they shood look for an alien or predator.
Some of them shood start to panic, others get scary, no one wont to die. And some digital night vision beter armor, (nano suit whit exoskeleton as a option), more acurate weapons – its 23th centery already there.

Predator:
Predator clocking sux, shood stay cloacked, and not decloack wile using plasma gun, or first blades, or any other weapon, and wile moving-running-jumping cloacking shood not change to electrical circuits around him. Predator hunt in stealth mode, to not reveal him to pray. (In Hunt mode you die as a noob becouse of that)
Decloacking shood be only when Predator dies or deactivate it.
Aiming plasma gun from behind shoodnt been spoted. More arsenal needet to.
Spear shood used to fight in close combat to. Disk shood fly on tragectory and silent.

Aliens:
Alien need more hiding places, air shafts, more other ways to get around in level.
Alien need to act whit his kind togheter, not in solo mode.

PS:
Bigger maps needet, more open space to play, more realism, normal multyplayer -
to create and join servers whit servers list, not that consol trash. That DX11 get fixed.
And the story shood be addet, wile SP to short.

It seems to me that there should be some kind of watchdog for this, this game was released with the worst beta testing ive ever seen! So many problems with this game, so many flaws and issues that would have been spotted had there been decent beta testing done in the first place. It feels like sega wanted this game out asap and launched it unfinished. Sound issues, grafix issues, multiplayer issues. I feel like an unpaid beta tester who wishes i hadnt paid my hard earned money to play a game thats broken. Im one of the ones with sound issues and find multiplayer a damn joke, WHY DO I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE MAIN SCREEN AFTER A GAME I WAITED FOREVER TO JOIN AND PLAY?!!
Wish i could return this game but unfortunately the store i purchased wont refund because of “incompatability issues”
Sure its all fine and dandy now a patch is coming out but i bought this game a week ago and its just been sat on my desk being as much use as a cup mat.

I’m glad some issues will be patched but i hope the rest will be seen to as soon as possible.
- dedicated servers support + LAN, please..
- PC graphics issues. The 9800gtx+ issue with blackscreen, lag, freeze and disconnects.
- Saved games and achievements don’t get saved. also claims a complete sp is incomplete etc. kinda kills the achievements.. /
- objective markers on survivor maps that have doors opening, please?
- more maps especially SDM and survivor.. P

Every game has bugs in the beginning. I’m confident the issues will be fixed. Thanks for great job so far sega and rebellion.

Seems like some of you are complaining how this game isn’t so pc. Well, that’s how the gaming market tends to do now-a-days. Deal with it, or don’t play the game; simple as that. There’s not much you can do except to try to convince other people not to buy these kinds of games. But one thing I do agree is that this game should’ve had dedicated servers right from the beginning.

Now for the patch. I haven’t had many problems with bugs, just the development, but that’s another story. I also thought that the indefinite firing after death was part of the game design too. And it does seem more realistic to have it.

Hey rebellion, if your game isn’t finished, don’t release it. Don’t force half baked crap on us, and then give no updates. Been sitting in match making for 45 minutes on the ps3 version, is it suppose to take this long?

Either way, at least I’ll have something to trade in for Bad company 2. Also Consider me a lost customer sega.

No direct link to patch? Just through Steam? Wierd because I was expecting a direct link so I could use a download manager and get it done pausing/resuming. My net sucks and disconnects often so I can’t keep Steam on all day to keep up with my slower-than-turtle net.

This game is too short and has no story. God bless lance for coming back but he alone can’t carry the entire story, AVP 2 on PC had a great story line.
BUT I love it, it looks great, the gameplay is great, the jumping for the pred option is welcome, you can stalk from above finally, the alien plays well and you don’t fall off the roof for letting go of a button like the old ones, but like a stone in your shoe the few little things that are annoying stay with you throughout the entire game. The grabs are cool but taking damage while doing them makes you avoid them. There is no reason to hold someone down as an alien for a face hugger, you get no reward or bonus so I didn’t bother apart from random fun only sometimes, even got killed in the time it took the alien to do it. No crouching is something I can’t believe the designers forgot, it just seems like a must that is included in all shooting for like ten years now, there is no looking down your barrel to target a shot, shooting all from the hip is like playing an old shooter from the 90’s. All shooters have it, down your scope and not just for sniping. The human campaign was great, the lighting was cool, a few cool moments like being dragged by an alien to wake up and shoot her in the back. Alien I loved but way too short, the gameplay was well balanced and I could pick people off one by one and crawl back into the shadows on the roof, the pred was cool but like someone already said the thermal just didn’t work, cold fire in thermal, constant red hot wrist blades, the lava being hot but no heat coming from it and its heat ending in a straight line at the rim is like a ps1 game, dark spots being dark makes no sense, that’s like a dark corner with night vision, lights showing in thermal is incorrect in the tech sense but overall I could stalk and pic marines off like a true movie pred. I just found it weird how the preds spear was only used as a throwing weapon and not hand to hand, the net gun and a whole bunch of weapons were missing for the pred and all his weapons were just so underpowered, speargun and net gun that pins people to the walls. Well I have the same complaints as the guy above, headless androids making perfect shots at a long distance and looking from around a corner without their head made me laugh the first time but just got on my nerves after the second and from there on. As always while playing a human the face huggers were more scary than the aliens which is always cool. The marine’s torch not going out like AVP 2 was cool.
patch should include

no headless androids fighting at 100% or dying if you land a perfect headshot, androids and dead bodies should look different in thermal to live humans
Crouching for all races, or hiding behind stuff like gears of war or mass effect 2
Thermal vision fixed, some heat in other objects like control panels and just little things around the place and not just bodies and the obvious control you need to use, doesn’t look like movie thermal, I wish it did, black for cold, blue normal to green to yellow to orange to red to white for super hot ;p with no shading darkspots or lights showing up, other stuff like car engines and the like should have little heat spots to make it feel real
Stop decloaking the pred for just about everything, got sick of recloaking, and give him a decent amount of shots out of the shoulder canon to take on swarms of aliens at once
Get out of grabs if you want
mariens should stop telling each other to not let their guard down every two seconds
and should be able to shoot down their scope, even with a pistol

for future games, dragging a human while they are alive or dead as an alien like up into the roof or into a grate so you don’t have to kill them in view of the others would be cool or hiding bodies as alien and pred so you can take someone out and the other marines don’t notice their missing, their just gone like the films, acid damage on the world in general when you kill one, like holes in the walls and floor. Apart from those little things everything else is perfect

these should be for consoles as well as PCs. I am an ex PC man after spending tens of thousands of dollars on PC hardware over my life, just got sick of it. I only play games on the xbox, but that has red ringed me twice but still better that than a game telling me my new 400 dollar graphics card doesn’t like my new game.
But again overall I thought the game was great, just those few things.
