Nice find. I especially liked the part where the fan criticized the motion tracker.

so sad, now we have to complain that they screwed it up by making it too round.

Evac was progressive like Rush. Extermination wasn't. I didn't really like Extermination.

The second game-type we played was called Extermination. Like the Escape mode, you swap species after each round completion. For Extermination you can only score points as the marines. The way to score points being to arm as many bombs as you can before the time limit runs out. These bombs were described by the representatives as arming devices to destroy mini-hives. As Aliens, you've simply got to stop them.To arm the bombs, there needs to be a Colonial Marine player around one of the objective points for a duration of around 30 seconds. If the Aliens can get in there and kill the marine players before that time is up, then they obviously do not get that point. Then rinse and repeat. There were numerous objective points scattered around the map and you basically go around on a loop until the time is up.I did not particularly enjoy this mode. The objective points simply "regen" and you go to the same points again and again. To say we're supposed to be arming bombs, there are no little explosions or variation in the location of the objective points to spice things up. It did get a bit dull.

This sounds bad :\ I guess I'll stick to Escape and Survival modes then.

Didn't get to play co-op campaign, only single. Play as Winters in single.

Can't really remember dude. Left bumper brought the tracker up. I remember that.

Yep. As simple as that.

Left to right - Demarcus Short, Jennifer Redding, and Guillermo Quintaro.

I noticed something small..

In games such as Aliens Vs Predator you heavily relied on your shoulder lamp to guide you through the game, but in this game it looks as though the shoulder lamp is nonexistent.

Watching over footage, the game relies on the environment lighting and it seems like your shoulder lamp doesn't light up anything at all. Everything already seems well light and visible.

I think that's what made AvP pretty scary is that it was dark and your lamp only showed so much that you didn't know where an Alien might pop from. Maybe the shoulder lamp is off during the gameplay... I don't know?
