Too Fast?

[-DooM-]

Ive remember when i was playing this as a kid back in days. Dont rememer this being that ehhh fast? Like lightspeed when u are Marine/pred/Alien. Why is all so damn fast? Bug or what?

I wanna play as it was. Not some kind of racing game.

if you like a game more slow i suggest to try avp2

[Mr. Mandatory]

This is how it always has been. :P

Do you mean it runs unnaturally fast, indicating some malfunction or incompatibility, or it does have some smoothness?

[-DooM-]

Unatural fast. :/

Well, then it is a bug probably.

This video shows normal 100% speed as Alien. If it matches your speed, then your game is fine.

Nice move, Make.Safe.

I think what the guy meant was the perception of a Marine against computer driven Aliens.

Sometimes in this game when a skillful player appears in play he is being accused of cheating, especially when playing Alien. That is also to be considered.

Doesn't matter, his main concern was his game may be broken because of his perception of the speed, if it matches the game speed of the video, there simply is nothing wrong with his game and he most likely just doesn't remember the game being fast paced or he is getting confused with AvP2.

Well, it does matter. Remember any last multiplayer time you tried to shoot a well driven Alien character with the use of shoulder cannon aided by appropriate specivision? The auto-aim just fails to follow to the point of jam.

No it doesn't, if his speed matches mine, his game is NOT broken, end of discussion, we don't need to enter a debate about inaccuracy with Predator SC auto-aim...

Whether the game is broken or not is one thing, the case of what makes the guy get the impression of Aliens - as I suppose - moving too fast is another. I state the video you brought shows very little of how actually a multiplayer encounter with skilled player steering an Alien looks like. There should be one, because I admit sometimes it can be absurdal.

I never presented the video to somehow show what an accurate representation of what a 'skilled player steering an Alien looks like', I did it so he could see what the game's normal 100% speed is so he could then compare it with his own and be reassured his game is running fine.

If it's the fact he has had no exposure to experienced players up to this point and then see's one do an Alien speed trick, then that's normal to double take it and think 'I don't remember that' but there is nothing out of the ordinary about that.

The video presents smooth playing. Due to speed advantage at the Aliens side, it is easier to get more fluent image of events in multiplayer game. As far as my short experience goes, in case of Predator and Marine - as well as Alien versus Alien duel - both from first and third person perspective, the action may get more chaotic at times. But that is why perhaps I am a so-so player. There are some crazy tempos available in Aliens versus Predator Classic, the question is whether that be the utterly best thing?

The video presents the gameplay speed, which is all what OP needs to judge whether there's something wrong with his game. The question of how smooth Make.Safe's movement is, is irrelevant. So is the question of what tempo is best for the game.

The question "is the game speed acceptable for everyone, or is it brought too far?" is very actual since AvP 2 took on a different system, with different maximum game speed - and it is a decently acclaimed product. Would you state that AvP 2 is popular among less skillful players who prefer slower play? I would say the Classic and the Sequel are two different worlds, each of them having their own requirements and cases of balance, nevertheless the fact is the Classic received far too little attention it deserved and is currently dying. The Sequel keeps rocking the boat.
