Most interestingly, there is a gameplay structure central to the game based on the Predators' insistence on honour. The worthy kills you make as you progress contribute towards rewarding you with new upgrades and weapons, while killing unarmed humans seriously diminishes your honour rating.
Happily, human grunts with machine guns are fair game, while defending the innocent from Aliens will boost your rating immensely. There is also an energy bar than runs alongside the typical regenerative health bar. This secondary bar can be depleted to replace health or to permit the use of more powerful weapons, allowing for a small amount of on the fly strategy and decision making as you choose between your own well-being and destructive power.

''With Aliens: Colonial Marines being a utter disappointment, a lot of people are looking for something to fill the void. Something to fill that intense atmosphere steeped in tension. People are wanting to feel vulnerable and easily killed. Others wish to play as the ones doing the killing. These are a few alternatives to Aliens: Colonial Marines that will certainly fill the void.''
Death is never nice at the best of time but aliens have really perfected the art of long painful and often repulsive ends. Join us as we look at some of the worst ways to go off world.
News: The CEO and creative director of Sniper Elite V2 developer Rebellion will receive an OBE for “services to the Economy”.
His smiling face makes me want to punch it. For shipping unfinished, bland, and shallow games he should get the absolute opposite of an award.
I was so mad when I bought AVP and it wasn't good. I really liked the demo of Sinper Elite V2 though.
I`ve always loved the AvP games, Hopefully this one will be a good experience as well, Shame its 3rd person as AvP2 was excellent on the PC.
