ACM Multiplayer

[Stratocaster]

Anyone know what will competative multi be like? Will there be team death match? can we play as the alien?

Rumor is you can play as the Aliens.

umm obviousally Deathmatch, i heard a rumor about a holding the point (like go to point A, hold for 60 secs, move to point B, hold for 60 secs e.t.c), survival (obviousally, who didnt like survival in the original AVP not the new shitty one which was a pathetic excuse of survival), and the reverse for aliens like attack the point and apparently the one aspect of Multiplayer from AVP infestation might be coming back (that was the only 6/10 game mode that game had...)

Hoping we can play as the Aliens, definately looking forward to what Multiplayer has in store for us.

Someone doesn't approve.

I hope it has it, just dont kill campaign in the process.

I thought we learned our lesson with Dead Space 2 and Bioshock 2.

Competitive multiplayer is not necessary in any game other than the three super duper AAA 1st or 2nd party top selling franchises. It is not going to be a hit on anything else, and drains resources from the campaign experience that should be the focal point of the whole package.

Haven't played either game unfortunately. Granted they already have "multiplayer" with the Co-op, but I'm still hoping for some competive multiplayer (they can use my and all our ideas! Lol).

I'm actually looking forward to see what the multiplayer is.

Multiplayer isn't needed, but it is good to have. The problem that most developers have is that they can't find a balance between a good campaign and a good multiplayer. You can have both without one detracting from the other. But a lot of developers are lazy and don't do this.
