$#@! yeah original assault rifle sounds.

Other than that looks a bit on the dated side as far as graphics go

AvP Gold has the best functional lighting I know of in any game.

The screen flashing to and from black made my eyes hurt. If the game does that I don't think I could play it.

AVP2 was fun because it let people play the aliens and predators which had very different interactions. That trailer looks like a generic FPS where all the baddies have slimey skin. Meh?

I think it looks pretty good, but obviously nobody will mistake it for BF3 or whatnot. Better/newer tech would have been nice but it's inevitable since it has been in-development forever. That it's getting released is incredible enough. But this is Aliens...what will make it or break it is not whether it has the latest visuals but gameplay and storyboarding, both of which have potential judging by the trailer.

Hurry up spunkmeyer!

Also I hope this game has co-op. I've always thought Co-op for Aliens and Starship Troopers would be loads of fun

:apologies for necropost:

I had the original 1999 one but didnt work anymore on my ATI Cards.

I just got AvP (I think Turkey calls it AvP2) for $20 and note that there is a 4Player coop survival map on one of the download packs for it Bughunt Pack

looks like the Swarm pack has the same sort of options

And for Brood, the M41A in AvP sounds like the M41A in the movies so you can get your fix before next year.
What I like about this game and no doubt will be the same with Colonial Marines is that light is critical to success. If you have no illumination, you are toast. Flares are your friend.

Did you ever play Natural Selection? it was an Aliens inspired Half Life mod that as a team game was pretty darn awesome. Teamwork was actually critical and non shooting roles important.

Looks like this game was made 6 years ago.

I have this game on pre-order, but am seriously concerned as although the 'drop in' Coop campaign will be fun for friends and may alone be a reason to get the game, if they are specifically designing Alien species for the game and having to add in Commando's to draw the game out or infil the plot, they may have lost their way with atmosphere.
