I just want the P2 shoulder cannon. Just looks really nice.

Agreed. And dare I get greedy, but an inclusion of a certain spear tip dart might be nice?

Thoughts on the blocking?

Harrigan with the Smart Disc, Hanzo with the sword... I'm personally fine with blocking the gauntlet knives with a blade. 

I'm hoping it'll help with being able to occasionally goad some Predator players into a knife fight if you happen to be the last human player standing.  :laugh:

Hmm.... A close combat kill has to be more points for the Predator than ranged right?  And they say the smart disc can get caught in a tree. I wonder if soldiers can recover it.

I'm hoping we'll be seeing a speargun in here! Jared seemed to rather like the Scout's rifle so perhaps...

Customization of the weapon appearance would be sweet! But I wonder if that's too much to include, especially with the quick turnaround on this one. Perhaps something for a future update?

Yeah, me too. It's not a feature I actually expected, but am glad to see. I wonder if the block can actually fail, and the block is just brushed aside.

Cool cover art!

is it just me or are these trailers kind of in a low resolution

I suspect the Trial version is not going to be the completed copy. I mean obviously but....,

Hicks posted a twitter post (I presume from the event) that had the screen read "Pre-Alpha". So assuming this is what's been shown off to the public and the trial version is what's been shown at events so far I assume this isn't some sort of Beta. Which is both good and bad news because it shows some ballsy confidence that the Alpha is good enough it can be the trial version (and from what has been said so far it seems to be the case). But should something go wrong, well they put out a Pre-Alpha build into the wild and your average player might not realize this.

Now the most recent video doesn't state if it is the finished version or not but the article insinuates it's this Alpha version. That might explain the netgun animation but lets not get our hopes up.

I just wish it was on Steam. I'm not a fan of Epic Games predatory exclusive practices.

Guess we'll have to wait and see

Pre-Alpha has been at the events. The Trial is a newer build.

Yeah I would have preferred the spear gun over the bow to be honest (which just seems a bit too "human" and cumbersome to me), but since it looks like that'll be a weapon that shoots similar projectiles and can also pin enemies to walls they might have considered including both redundant.

Would love to be proven wrong though! The spear gun was one of the most fun weapons in the old AVP's.

Honestly, I quite like the bow. You're completely right in how they're both functionally the same, so it's one or the other. But I've been wanting to see a Predator bow for some time and I've gotta say I like the addition.

I hope they'll add a spear gun later, maybe with different ammo types?

Corporal Hicks

What kind of ammo are you thinking?

An ammo type that turns the speargun into a shotgun. AvP 1999 had something like that, albeit it was a cheat. I like the idea of giving the player more options with the weaponry we are given.
