There is a Helicopter in the general area, we must get to it.

Aye, the poor Marines are never shown in positive light. Even in their own trailer, it's a nightmare and all about survival. Sucks to be humans in this war.

Eagerly awaiting Alien footage though, everyone wants to see how they play!
Was there Predator footage yet?

guess we know this much
predator beats alien(unless it gets the drop on the predator or theres a bunch of them or a mix of the two)
alien beats marine(don't argue)
marine beats predator(arnie pops up and kills them in a cutscene after you die)

Man, I really hope they do this game right. The premise alone makes you think that it should be an easy sell.

That Predator sure does know alot of Kung Fu, but does he know enough kung fu to beat... Big Daddy!

Predator: I am totally getting sodomized by Big Daddys drill. Bogus!
That was a tad on the spoony side.

Anyway, I can't actually watch this trailer, as Escapist videos rarely ever work on this computer (as well as my previous computer), but I can only hope it is good. AvP 2 was a cool game, though monumentally frustrating many times.

Also, I must wonder if the controls for the Aliens will have changed from AvP 2. They were very unwieldy back then, so I do hope they've changed the mechanics a little bit.

So you're a marine? Guess I'll give this one a miss then.

Fuck going against those facehuggers. Not now, not ever.
You play as all three species -- aliens, predators, and human marines. The predator level I saw at E3 was seriously badass. The marines were, in my opinion, the least interesting of the three, simply because we've played as space marines many times already.
You play Marines for the scares. Otherwise the other two races are the fun ones. :D

I don't get it. You could be marine, alien or predator in the other AvP games, so how is this a selling point?

And just for the record, AvP2 was one of my favourite single-player and multiplayer games, especially as a marine fighting a predator. Those that missed out really, really missed out.

They showed Predator footage a long time ago during E3 2009. Basically the Predator is quite revamped. There's a bigger emphasis on the hunting style of the Predator. Unlike Marines, you don't have quite the staying power or the 'spray-and-pray' thing going on. Instead, they use cloak, vision modes (they always did this, but now, even more so), and can now jump from tree top to tree top using a neat mechanic (you need to see the footage to see what I mean).

Stealth kills are also brutal, and getting trophy kills (cutting off heads cleanly) is quite Predator-ish.

Not sure what you're talking about. It's still the same thing - a campaign for each species, and multiplayer play. I'm sure they will give out multiplayer details eventually.

Aliens: Colonial Marines is the other Aliens game, focusing on you and your Marine buddies. In development by Gearbox I believe.

That was...pretty generic. Cool and all, but I'll withold full judgement until I see Predator and/or Alien videos too.

Could be good, but I'll wait and see.

I'm just saying that it's not exactly "news" that we'll get to play as a marine, alien or predator, and that I don't really understand the angle of the trailer: "You get to play as a marine shooting aliens and predators!" Yeah, I did that like... 8 years ago on AvP2.

The AvP games always feel so much more than just a generic shooter and I'm a massive fan of the franchise, but that trailer really didn't sell the game to me; it just seemed a bit... generic? I can almost guarantee that the game won't be half as good as it's predecessors (for reasons that I won't state here), and that trailer just confirmed my guarantee.
