Alliens VS Predator II

[Terror]

mwah he's slow though, terribly slow. I can often catch him off guard and he's not that strong

[Caid Ivik]

Heavy P. is hard to see in darkness by marines. Also he resist much hurt. Anyway, good compromise is standard Predator with same weapons as Heavy plus pistol in latest version. Yet it's easy and fast to shot him down.

[Terror]

agreed, standard pred is my fav. he's most alround and he looks best :)

[Caid Ivik]

Why? Isn't nice Heavy one with those bones from whole zoo on shoulders? ;D

[Terror]

true, but he's small and looks like a wildman.

[Caid Ivik]

Heavy Predator small? You're megaloman.

[Terror]

check it out in mplayer. The normal pred is taller than the heavy pred.

[Caid Ivik]

But Heavy is much wider. Anyway, what's best way to eliminate Queens? I've tried combistick, but that bitch is very fast in multiplayer and if your connection lags...

[Terror]

I haven't played online since the new patch but my guess would be the speargun

[Caid Ivik]

Where that monster has head, for my God? Or headshot is impossible?

[Terror]

hmm can't say. Disc isn't too effective either vs. heavy armored enemies. well pistol will work i think

[Caid Ivik]

Also what about Exosuit? Of course, it's slow, so it's good target for pistol or bomb. But is it possible to destroy it with combistick?

[Terror]

heh yeah i tried that sometimes, it's strong, heavily armed and it can unbalance some multiplayer games :(. it is quite good vs. aliens because of the flamethrower

[Caid Ivik]

But pounce is effective... Which alien's best? I prefer predalien.

[Terror]

Alien drone. I like the original alien the best and this is the most allround alien. (and i love headbite :D)

[Caid Ivik]

With my 56k it is too laggy to do headbite. :(

[Terror]

yeah i know the lag sux (I too have 56K6) but at times it works and headbiting dead guys is also helpfull to regenerate health

[Caid Ivik]

I wonder if Queen can do headbite.

[Terror]

think so, she too has an inner set of jaws

[Caid Ivik]

Predalien too? I wasn't in case of use it.

[Terror]

no, all alien versions have advantages/disadvantages. I can list em below

Runner: Great speed, wall climbing, headbite, pounch, low health

Drone: Average speed, wall climbing headbite, pounch, average health

Predalien: Slow speed, wall climbing, pounch, very high health

Preatorian: Average speed, high health, high armor

The game community sucks now... I actually used to be one of the two best predaliens online, and I've been playing since last year. [b-A-X]AceTech and I were always neck and neck for best online. Anyway, here's a couple of screenshots... One with me and the other bigger clans in AvP, and the other of me playing against a server full of newbies.

But eventually I got bored of the people who insisted on abusing all kinds of bugs they possibly could, and still be accepted in the general community with the defense "I can do anything I want in order to win". The game is almost as dead as Emperor, and the general community now condones abusing bugs.

One of the bugs I'm talking about is quick-clicking to fire marine weapons. Guns that require no "charge up" time between shots, like the minigun when it's pre-spun, and the pulse rifle can be fired in rapid clicks and the rate of fire is actually boosted. The smartgun, flamethrower, and other automatic weapons can't be done because they require about half a second in order to fire after you actually push the fire button. If you were to remove this "charge up" time from the weapons, then the rate of fire would also be boosted. Another one is the rapid fire sniper rifle bug, which allows you to shoot multiple sniper rounds in succession, without waiting for the bolt to reload. Simply fire, zoom, fire, unzoom, fire, repeat. You can go on as long as you don't miss a step in the pattern.

Emperor is better use of my time than a game with all sorts of bugs, especially when people use them indiscriminately...
