Cast your peepers below to view the trailer of the new ‘Bughunt’ DLC pack for Aliens Vs. Predator from Sega. The game’s second DLC will be made available on July 7th for on PSN and Xbox Live and features four new maps. Two are for the game modes deathmatch, Predator Hunt, Infestation, Species Deathmatch, Mixed Species Deathmatch and Domination, the remaining two are for survival mode and feature big flamey things (that’s the technical term) and weather effects.
The maps all look strangely familiar to me. ”Crash Site’ appears to be a homage to the opening scene of Aliens Vs. Predator II with a crashed spacecraft in a forest. ‘Furious’ is set inside a maze of tunnels and vents with blazing fires, a tribute to Alien 3. The location of ‘Monument’ is a massive temple with statues of both creatures, a nod to Aliens Vs Predator. The final map, ‘Tempest’, is full of rain and wind and seems to be a spot on recreation of Ripley’s first view of LV426, complete with a flickering neon ‘Bar’ sign.

I’m with you on that, I haven’t played it in a while but keep meaning to have another crack. If you’re up for a bit of avp online, give me a shout.
One thing I will say though about the new maps is that it never seemed to match me up with anyone who used the swarm dlc so I’m wary about whether this will be the same.

Was it any cop? I loved the first two Alien films and the original Predator but firmly belief that it all went to pot after that, Predators doesn’t loo to remedy that from what I’ve seen either and I can’t help but think that Lawrence Fishburne is beginning to look like Mr potato Head grew a body.
I loved the first PC AVP too but played (tried to) the demo of this when it was released and was so dismayed at the state of it that I stayed away.
So, worth picking up 2nd hand possibly? (Mainly interested in the single player aspect)
Oh and Ripley first saw LV426 in the original Alien, but only from the safety of the Nostromo’s cockpit.

I’d say it is def worth picking up second hand, as I really enjoyed the one player campaign but it is a bit short, so second hand would be ideal really if you aren’t playing it online.

Yeah the single player campaigns are a bit short, bit it’s about the first fps I’ve genuinely enjoyed online, the satisfaction that comes from how thoroughly different the 3 races are makes it a very fun game.
Origami killer: not sure why you’re not levelling up, can’t remember what rank I’m on. My psn I’d is the same as my TSA name.

Does anyone play this online? It makes me sad when I see that a developer spent time and money on DLC for a game no one plays.

I had it briefly, but didn’t get into the game that much.
Also seemed to take forever to get into an online game too. If they fixed it, I might give it another try :)

The matchmaking is pants and takes forever to find a game. There are no lobbies or anything either and it can take a good 30mins to find a game. So in my experience, no, nobody plays this game online. Shame because it is good.

i love the online and play it quite a lot. i have to admit my matchmaking does not work for ranked games, so i am limited to friendly matches which are fun any way. howver when i play in a prty i find rankled games. luckily a few people on my friends list still play it. tbh i love the game and i loads of people play online in my experience.

Like people above have said, it looks great, but a shame many people dont play it

I haven’t played this for a while due to the matchmaking problems but I really enjoyed it when I did. It’s a shame to hear that there aren’t many people playing it anymore, I hoped the niche market would have kept it alive. If anyone fancies a game add me, if we got enough of us on here we could get some good matches going!

I don’t play it anymore because the server are realy bad.
DrNate86
It’s a shame that they have spent so much time making new maps without fixing the old problems really! Still, if anyone wants some friendly battles add DrNate86 (and if origami killer and shields read this what are your ids?), you might even win a few while I get my eye in again ;-)
