oh, and also- i found out that even though there is no mention of it in instructions etc, starcraft uses rock-paper-scissor armour/attack bonuses. how you like those gay apples huh? yeah, you like that black hotdog! how is SC2 looking? more armour artificial armour types? yippee!! :p |
Nothing wrong with that on armor types so long as it doesn't dictate a similar relationship between all units, which it doesn't. Units are specialized for certain roles and those stats reflect that. SC2 uses a simplified version of the same system where instead of having normal/concussive/explosive damage, they have damage bonuses against specific armor types. (ex; 10 + 10 armored) |

| Actually I would love to play games like this co-op, but not by myself. Co-op could actually be damn good. |

Indeed a puzzling choice on their part. |

its not puzzling at all. the marine missions of the previous games were easily the best. what is so hard to understand? |

they don't understand that it's not an AVP game. somebody should tell them. |

I just think it's a waste to bring this IP to a team based FPS and not let you play as the (very unique and contrasting) other team. But I guess I'm the only one that really enjoyed playing the alien side, and would love to play that side on a next-gen engine.
I was just hoping they would stick to the AVP convention of letting you play both, if anything to increase replay value and further set itself apart from every other dime-a-dozen FPS floating aroudn these days.

That's mostly it. Without aliens and predators this just looks like another damn FPS in a market already flooded with them. Sure, it's not a ing WW2 game, but my standards haven't fallen quite so low yet for that fact alone to make me consider this original in any way, or to have anything beyond a passing interest in it. |

| the problem with the alien/predator missions were that they were too easy and you never felt like you were in any danger. not enough fear for me! |

to be fair though, you don't really "spit" acid :p
i loved the alien missions but the predator ones (especially in the 2nd game) were just too easy (boring) for me. |
