Not been on deadmen for a while but when I saw this I just had to reply, all the very best Bob, look after yourself and enjoy your well earned retirement.

i share your views on this game:thumb:

i played online death match with just 4 players and it was great fun, a bit laggy at times but sega have said a patch is on the way.

For Ã,£17 it's ok. I've not tried the online modes but single player is fine. Combat is a little consoley but still playable. I certainly don't regret buying it.

It's no AvP 1, but far nearer that level of genius than it is to AvP 2 which I found to be horrifically broken (in terms of the actual game, and in terms of straying from the fun of the original).

Overall I'd give it:
3.5/5

Pros:
Fun, graphically nice and definitely has flashes of the original in mind.

Cons:
Combat system suffers from being designed with consoles in mind, storyline isn't hugely compelling (though neither was AvP 1), doesn't jump off the page like some other single player FPSs.

played it for a few hours last night and have mixed feelings tbh, could have been alot better or alot worse, it does has atmos thats for sure, graphics are pretty good and smooth only problem was that the game would pause for a second now and then which can be corrected by setting your sound card to 16bit audio cd or dvd,  played as the marine in campaign mode which was what i was expecting to be honest from sega (predictable and shallow):eyebrow:but not from rebellion ,atari jag version?:g:

will give the multiplayer a go tonight with some mates and will see what happens but for Ã,£17.99 from play i dont feel i have wasted my money with 3 types of campaigns and a multiplayer and also the prospect of mods.

damn had to go early tonight as a mate turned up for a coffee:doh:

2 crashes, and a drive through penalty, then just to top it off on the start finish straight last lap i ran out of fuel :oops:

just found this website, which says patch is on the way before release, good site for AVP fans:D

i had quite a few games and do hope the connection issue is addressed, but as a game like battlefield with some polishing it could become a very good game:g:, i just cant see this being a DMW classic.  shame:crying:

next:D

demo now on steam :yahoo:

good sessions tonight, and only 1 team kill by me :thumbsup:

Looking forward to making you bleed:devil:

for smoother game play turn bloom off, makes very little diff to the look of the game but does seem to help fps (lag),  some have said runninhg DX9 also helps, worth a try:g:
