I'm in the middle of a WOW download at the moment but I'll definitely try the AvP Demo out soon.

Whatever's gone wrong it's not my fault.

So far the game has impressively failed to connect me to a single game.

Matchmaking = b*llocks.

Not impressed.

Just managed to play my first game after 40 minutes of trying to connect.

It's terrible, they've got the MP all wrong. I won't be buying.

The main reason for the 40 mins is that there is a mess up with beta code.  But I think it will be a much better on full release with proper ded. servers.

I like it was a little drop in the ocean and swim but it grew on me!!

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

Had a couple of games last night it is ok.  I had no idea of what I was doing but that was not the problem.  As the others said connecting and getting the game to start is a pain in the ass.  If you have a group of 8 people in the game room no problem so just invite freinds to join and it seems to start when it hits 8 people.  Sadly the game is just team death match but with three teams.  It will be good fun for a blast but no real tatics so far.  Will need to wait and see what the patch sorts out and I may need to get some help in *** to do instead of dying!! :D

Sorry, but I'm not buying the "oh it's ok because they're using Beta code" excuse.

This was released as a demo, as in 'demonstration of the full game'.

And they messed up, big time.

Surely AvP will be sold in any quantity on the basis of its single player experience, rather than multiplayer?  Not sure why you're getting so hung up on this tbh.

So the netcode is pretty poorly implemented initially - there are plenty of fantastic games that sucked in the first 48 hours of being available.  My first frustrating weekend on WoW springs to mind, but people don't remember that now because the game is so polished in it's current state... not saying AvP will be anywhere near that, but beta testing is all of our jobs now since broadband and post-release patches came along :)  Why pay a tester when you can set up a feedback forum and get the public to do it for free :)
If I wanted you to understand I would have explained it better

I struggled to stay connected, gave up in the end, not overly impressed it I must say :sad:
​ Bring on the randomness!
Apparently I actually exist! Or maybe it was the drink?

downloaded and tried to play, connected but was unable to do anything.
I think it's out of my depth, pc wise:eyebrow:

Got it on preorder, but I was only ever intending to run through the single player campaigns to be honest. Got friends who've played the 360 demo, and they were universally bitching about the fact it was deathmatch, which is really not where a game like AvP excels. You and a load of mates co-op vs 100s of aliens, or vs a single Predator. Now *that* is what multiplayer AvP should be.

I was going to use the demo to test the gameplay but it was such a poorly chosen mode with no single player I couldn't really. I'm looking forward to the single player. Hopefully the multiplayer will be fixed.
Ã,£17 is not bad for a single player game, and if the multiplayer turns out to be less rubbish I'll be happy.
