I got it release day and played it all the time, to the point I got top 100 in the scoreboard on every stat, but some survival maps. When I saw the recent article that said rebellion was interested in another AVP game I was excited and somewhat worried at the same time.
The 2010 AVP had an amazing multiplayer. Various different game types, with my favorite being infestation. Infestation was so fun for two reasons, there was actually excitement and the feeling of being the last marine standing for those 30 seconds were some of the most fun I've ever had in video games. The second reason is that the mode did not include the Predator. I have well over 30 hours on every species in multiplayer and that is only counting the ranked matches not the player matches that I started playing after achieving level 43 and getting to the top 100. I've played every class seen what they're strong against and what they're weak against, and in all honesty the predator beats every other class in every category. The marine's sniper and smartgun pale in comparison to the predator's smartdisk, and plasma caster; the aliens melee is laughable against the predator's faster heavy attack and increased health. The point being the Predator in this game ruined the multiplayer in ranked. The only matches that could be found were mixed species Deathmatches that were made of 2 teams of predators with maybe one alien or marine on each side. This game became not fun because Rebellion honestly balanced the aliens and marine quite well then looked at the predator and thought, "give him everything"
So here's to hoping and praying that if rebellion does make another AVP they balance it correctly and not favor one class to the point that class ruins any class based multiplayer.
