postheadericon Aliens Colonial Marines - hands-on multiplayer preview

Aliens v humans in a number of places in the atmosphere cut from the film Aliens? Count on us in. Gearbox Software shows the attraction - and frightening - multiplayer component of its next shooter science fiction

not about tactics, it is fear that drives you all. Trapped in the bowels of the base of Hadley Hope LV 426, with only five other Marines and a lot of darkness, nobody wants to be left alone. And we believe, in space,

worldwide

can hear you scream.

Software

gearbox is putting the finishing touches on his estate abroad terrible tie-in and we made our first encounter with the vast multiplayer game. Or at least a small portion thereof. With E3 looming, the transmission shows only one card - Last Hope - Team Deathmatch and a mode. Apparently, there will be several other options, most of them based on the objective, all designed specifically to explore the asynchronous nature of the gameplay. This has to do with foreign navies v, of course - players can choose from either side, both offer their own abilities, attacks and advancement systems. But essentially, you're either the hunter or the prey.

'have played many games as Navy (gearbox staff took over the foreign party all day during our preview), and it is an experience full, frantic and frightening frequencies. The level takes place on a section broken Hadley's Hope, a hellhole of multiple levels of blind hallways, sidewalks and steel cargo hold open. In the darkness, aliens arriving in vents, clinging to roofs and walls, and to slash attacks human prey. Pressing the left bumper brings a pad Xbox motion detector, an exact replica of the movie camera, which allows you to detect incoming xenomorphs -. But the cost of lowering your weapon, leaving him terribly vulnerable

had three bunker to use, each for a main weapon and a pistol. The pulse rifle is actually a submachine gun, which offers a fast speed-fire, but accuracy is not much, and the M16 assault rifle is a derivative with rapid fire and greater precision, and then there's the shotgun pumping action, causing exactly the kind of short-range carnage expect and demand. In fact, in this game, against an enemy that kills only through the melee and projectile does not have a choice, this option generally niche is really his own.

Each weapon also has a secondary fire option. In the demo, the pulse rifle and grenade launchers to pump so important, while the assault rifle had a shotgun underslung. There will be more weapons and secondary options in the final game, but Gearbox is not much to say except that it will be introducing some of its own newcomers. The flamethrower is there, and I looked at some concept art on the walls of the office of Dallas gearbox (see below), I saw references to M83 grenade rounds, machine guns and rifle M3A Neusturmgewehr 23 ... whatever the hell that is.

Anyway, it's a game on the execution by firing bugbears violently attacking early and often in packs. There were two main types in our demo foreign: soldiers strong, based on xenomrophs foreigners and marauders, style around the first solitary creature from the movie Alien, which offers more agility and deadly attacks thrust, but less than Health. Foreigners are also a kind of layers of heat sensitive vision of the screen that shows greenish contour Marines around, even through walls.

The fact that foreigners always know where you are, and can scale any surface, dramatically changed tactics for the Marines. You can not hide, you can camp and you can not do it alone. In fact, probably do not want. Within 20 seconds of our first game, the journalists were instinctively snuggle with his characters, not necessity really strategic, but with fear - I will not be alone in this country. During the game, the staff gearbox are regularly shouting "lost sheep", whenever you detect an isolated marine - work together to look for

For most, however, the atmosphere is that of James Cameron: the terror and panic. Audio is perfect here - we have guns scary noise pulse modulation and disturbing motion detector analog sound. Brilliantly, you can hear the detectors used by other players if you have the silent symphony of beeps pulse - and when they all start to accelerate, the tension is palpable. Each time a sailor is attacked, his guttural cries echo through the installation, so there is a constant noise of violent death.

Box
says nothing about the system up now, but it seems that we see something very similar to Modern Warfare. Marines earn both XP and money to help and to kill, and to end the fight, seems rank up according to your specific weapon skills, unlock new weapons and upgrades on the fly.
