ya jesus people stop bitching over one small little thing

IF it is like the review described it's not just a little thing.

They probably realized that marines are underpowered and they want to balance. Motion tracked can make difference between aliens/preds, sniper rifle that can detect preds and now thins.

Yeah, and some preview news (Kotaku) said dedicated servers are out...just wait for some gameplay or Rebellion confirmation. Also they are changing a lot of things, chubby pred fingers, strange wristblades etc...

"Marines can block Alien lunges and counter with their own one-hit hill - a balls of steel neck-grab followed by a body slam and a few well-placed rounds to the skull."

What...the...fvck...

maybe it's more like the marine side steps and in one motion uses the aliens own momentum to throw him to the ground. so that it's not like he just over power the alien. to be fare these marines aren't the marines in aliens. they are trained to fight aliens better. now if he does this to a pred i will be mad. but i don't think this will be as bad as people are imagining.

Kotaku never said they were out. Kotaku said it wasn't looking promising.

Oh you guys, its not like the marine will torn to shreds alien with his bare hands. He will SHOT IT IN THE HEAD.

AFTER he choke slams it. That's the problem.

Last part of the article:

Given three opportunities to talk about it, we'll take that as a "no."

Classic preview media BS, **if they dont answer my question rigth now, i will dont give a dam about the truth"

I will wait until confirmation, or some gameplay.

i don't think it's that unbelievable that 250 lb marine can choke slam a 300 lb alien while adrenalin is pumping hard.

[Dusk]

And of course an Alien with the strength to dent and eventually break steel doors, lets a human do that to it.

Everyone always thinks avoiding a question means the answer is the opposite of what you want to hear.

However, it's pretty hard to interpret any sort of in game action as chokeslamming an alien unless the marine was  infact choking slamming an alien. That's some pretty obvious stuff that's not really left to interpretation.

And well, yes... it is pretty unbelievable. Not only are we talking about a marine carrying all of his equipment and picking up an alien with one hand (the gun being in the other hand), We're talking about picking up a creature with one hand that has a tail that can drive straight through or puncture your forehead with a phallic symbol and tear you to pieces.

Would a 200 lb marine be able to pick up a cheetah by the neck with one arm and live to tell the tale? Highly doubtful. And cheetahs don't really compare to aliens.

I suggested a realism mode for multiplayer rules,  but noooo, you people prefer Balance.

no he couldn't but if the alien is completely on the marine with all limbs off the ground then the marine would only have to use gravity. and post earlier

isn't that unbelievable either.

Um... if the alien is completely on top of the marine, gravity is working AGAINST the marine. And there is no way the marine is grabbing the alien by the throat, pushing himself of of his back (with the hand that is still holding the gun) and lifting (with one hand) the alien up off of him and then (with one hand still) slamming the alien down. No way. No how.

Realism over balance will make the game even crappier. We do want balance, and we want it done right.

Marine bitchslappin' an alien = failed attempt to balance
