It's like that the Predator (or the other species) doesn't want to obey to your orders.

My complaint isn't really that its slower paced, its more that it feels like a beat em up rather than an AvP game.
Everytime I engage in melee it throws me back to the nintendo days of punishment sponging and heavy attacks. It feels like a mechanic, and thats what it is. The only difference is I can pull off an instant kill by standing behind someone.
Of course all games rely on certain mechanics to push the action, but the really good ones disguise it.
AvP doesn't feel natural to me. It feels clunky and unresponsive and I still think the sp is shallow and uninspiring while the MP would benefit from its previous incarnations fluidity.
I know earlier in this thread I argued I wish it had a faster pace, but that wasn't really what I was trying to argue. I wish it was smoother and more refined.

And for we enjoy AvP 2010 because it is fun for us. I know I certainly have lots of fun when I'm playing the game. I know I shout abuse at my party when I take out the Predator in Pred Hunt. I celebrate when I take a cunning and intelligent Alien player out.
For me, AvP 2010 is the best AvP experience. I feel like I'm actually in the middle of combat with the game. Not circling, lunging forward, attacking. Or being an Alien missile. Now don't get me wrong. I love AvP Classic and AvP2 - I spent many hours and sleepless nights on that game but AvP2010 just looks and feels right. It feels like AvP.
It's not without its flaws - the ranked match making system being my peeve - but it's nowhere near as bad as some people like to make it out to be.
This.
AvP2010 made some significant steps towards being a better AvP experience. More power to you if you don't like the slowed pace or other changes, but for what it's worth, I find AvP2010 to be fun, atmospheric and tense. A slower pace suits the franchise better to my mind.
The low playercount sucks and does speak of some sizable flaws, but those flaws don't undo the strong elements.

this game is balanced perfectly... when it was first released there were so many bitchs complaining that the marines were useless and their melee is pointless. the same goes for the aliens... apparently their too week. well if people would actually give the game a chance and actually play the species like their suppose to then it wouldnt be a problem. i constantly see people rampaging into marines trying to get a random kill. its not about that. you wait for them to make a mistake and make them pay for that mistake. marines are amazing when combat gets heavy. the block and counter attack gets me in first place almost every time im a marine. god damn people playing the game like its a typical death match where you just bombard each other. yes im talking to the call of duty players amongst us all. this game is tailored towards the species characters. learn them and the game is the most fun online you'll have. the other day as an alien i pulled off an amazing stunt. 4 marines held up in a tunnel on gateway and i ran straight through them . this distracted them as my team mate SK'd the first marine. then i ran back on the roof took two out. the last guy in panick ran and on three we both pounced him. instant kill. im a huge AvP fan and alot of you need to stop living in nostalgia. this is better then the rest of them. the balance is unmatched. Now come and show me how easy you all think it is to kill people on this game. i bet i kill you more.
