<blockquote>DEATH MATCH:
Ifyou love a game with frantic, brutal chaos then Death Match in AVPmultiplayer is for you. It's all about getting the most kills in thetime limit set. Players can also win the match by hitting the targetscore before anyone else.

INFESTATION:
For totalover-whelming mayhem, nothing comes close to the tension and potentialfor pant-wetting scenarios than INFESTATION. One player starts thematch as an Alien Hunter and their task is to kill the Marine prey.When a Marine player is killed they will join the Alien Hunter team andhelp to kill off any remaining Marines.


MIXED SPECIES DEATH MATCH:
justlike Death Match, but with mixed species. Two teams, made up from allthree species fight to get the most kills in the set time limit or toreach the target score before the other team.


SURVIVOR:
Forthe ultimate test of stamina, play Survivor Mode. Survivor allows forup to four players to enter an arena to fight waves of progressivelystronger aliens. Each arena will be set up with two main areas. Onewill be a platform which is relatively easy to defend; the other willbe an area where ambush by aliens is more likely. Supplies of healthand ammo will re-spawn in this second area.


PREDATOR HUNT:
Ifyou're after a more stealthy multiplayer game go for Predator Hunt. Inthis mode one player is selected to become the Predator Hunter, therest of the players take the role of the Marine prey. The Hunter mustuse the Predator's stealth abilities and advanced equipment to pick offthe prey and score points. The Marines will need to defend themselvesfrom this threat and if possible, to kill the Hunter.


SPECIES DEATH MATCH:
SpeciesDeath Match pits a Marine team, Alien team and Predator team againsteach other in a race to get the most kills within the set time limit orto reach the target score before any of the other teams.


DOMINATION:
Takecapture the flag to a whole new level with Domination. In Dominationtwo teams fight for ownership of Control Points around the level.Owning a Control Point gives the team a small and steady, stream ofpoints.

*raises hand*

What the f**k is a plantigrade?

[Deathbearer]

{raises hand also}

What's a Digitigrade?

[Xhan]

The Aliens look like they can switch between standing/walking on toes and whole foot, based on the running or walking... course it may simply be that the poses in the pix are in fact, mock up poses using the models and the movement hasn't been finalized.

[Kimarhi]

I will shoot a plantigrade in the face.














......yeah, you knew it was coming.

[Xhan]

Not if he bites you first, in them trees.

[Manorothh]

Good info, all the summary has been extracted from the screenshots and the articles in the magazines?
Good job sir.

[Chris!(($$))!]

Nice post Xhan!

[Xhan]

So far, yes. Everything will be added as new info becomes available and confirmed.

[skull-splitter]

Thread best renamed to rumor control?

[Xhan]

lol, given andrews fate...

[Sgt.Torque Reikan]

is this offical info or just a hunch

[Spaghetti]

Alien

Bite Face With Extreme Prejudice. Repeat.

Hell yeah. best campaign ever.

[locusta]

It´s ages ago, that I played the AVP2 campain. But wasn´t it so, that the Alien was able to destroy door panels in order to get them open?

It would be good, to have some experience level system. So, the Xeno has to learn first a few interactions with his surrounding. Or was it allready like that?

I would far more  like to  experience an evolvement of the whole Xeno idea, rather than just run around and kill bite heads all the time.

[Xhan]

There were selected points of interaction but they were always set up as "accidents", Alien "randomly" scratches some shit that mysteriously always causes causality hijinks. I'd rather have sinister intent of purpose, as you say. The Alien has never been given that kind of credit since the first movie. It's just a dumb bug doing dumb bug things.
