Would you like to play Aliens in Aliens Colonial Marines multiplayer?

[Mother]

Simple question.

Would you like to see playable critters in the ACM multiplayer game?

If so, other than the obvious generic xeno, which types would you like to see?

[Mustafuck]

no, all single player please.

Playing as alien (as lololololalien with arthritis in this case) is one of the reasons for AVP to exist.

[BooGNiSh]

If done right, yes.

Yeah it needs to be done well. I don't think they should have a deathmatch or a team deathmatch, but some objective based game should be really fun to play!

I think I need to revisit Left 4 Dead vs mode, because that is a game which has incredible, and incredibly well done, multiplayer modes. These are modes I could see translated into Aliens.

Imagine a "get to the dropship" type mission, or a last stand... see how long you can survive against the swarm. These are just two game types that can be introduced very easily into Aliens Colonial Marines.

...especially when it is the job of human-controlled xenos to stop you.

[Mustafuck]

and don't you people think that would have a negative impact on the SP campaign length?, Dead Space 2 might prove me right.

In any case we are about to found It out, I think DS2 is beign released the next month.

see dead space 2 is a sequel and will lack in story because the 1st one is so good! Sequels tend to be bad... look at modern warfare 2's story! A:CM has a lot of potential because it's the 1st of it's kind and they have famous and good writers who are driving the story! I have a lot of faith in the story, but the only question is the multiplayer for me.

[Mustafuck]

I was referring to the ammount of playable hours (single player).

Adding MP modes will obviously reduce the campaign length, and this is not an AVP game; this is the game we have been waiting for since the days of the Spectrum, and I'm sure most out there will agree that adding MP content will have a negative impact on the ammount of playable hours for SP, and we wouldn't like this game to be affected by modern times too, by the times of the internet and the MP.

We've got AVP for that already

[Bigapps17]

Yeah I think it's a double-edged sword. On one hand, a long single player would be really fun and would truly immerse you in good gameplay and an awsome experience, but on the other hand, not having it will turn off a lot of players and reduce the audience and not have it do well on the market and reach a larger audience. I think they will add small multiplayer modes, but not go over board like AVP.
