First, never fear that we are giving up on NOLF2.. we're aren't.. fuck no.
But, we're playing w/ the possibility of Single-Player style Alien Vs. Predator.

I found one at FRY's. Is it the Alien vs. Predator 2 Gold Edition?
Thats the only one I found.
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
that would be because cainan and i were too tired to remember that we had to put the box back in the dmz so it could see the world.
while that problem is fixed, it looks like a certain someone has some mods in progress, so stay tuned, true-believers. my spidey sense is.. uh, nevermind.

The Gold edition is better. You should be able to join. We might not be able to join any sessions you host while you are hosting maps we don't have, and we'll get kicked from your sessions when your server switches to a map we don't have.
But we believe you should be able to join our server. In any case, Cainan is looking at adding the expansion pack that turns our edition into the Gold edition so we'll see how it goes.

Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
What's the diff between standard and gold? I've got the earlier (standard) edition.

Ok, thanks for the info, I'll pick it up then! YAY!!!
Now can you guys do something for Nolf 1?
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
Jeesh...we need to password protect the server ASAP. The last level I played was non-stop TKing.
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
Who was TKing?
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
Newbs, who else?
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Why does the lord tease me by letting me find 1 of the 2 disks required to install and play this game?
Is there a patron saint of Game Engines I can pray to?
Im still lookin...Im still lookin!!
I know my fiancee hid disk 2......i just know it!!!
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
Why Gorf do you always blame women for your problems (at least I assume your betroved is a lady, nvr know anymore )
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
Firstly
Yes....shes a woman ,and has been one since birth ( just thought Id throw that in because these days...you cant assume anything....youll have to trust me on this ...Ive checked )
Lastly
I blame those people who cause me problems. For example.....someone is kicking my ass in a DM game...Im blaming that person for kicking my ass. Someone is hiding a crucial element in a hobby that could quite possibly eliminate the possibility of spending time with me, Im blaming that person for stealing disk 2. If the gender of both of those people happen to be of the female type persuasion....I calls em likes I sees em.
Come to think of it....someone is stealing money from my checking account on a weekly basis and isnt even claiming it as taxable income....oh..thats right...its my ex-wife...and hmmmm...what do ya know...shes a woman too! I think Im startin to see a pattern here!
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
You've got Avp2 running on the server now? I don't see Voodoo listed in my online directory?
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
OMG!
I am so not good at DM I walk away with a tension headache because Im focusing so intensely....but....AVP2 is so friggin much fun...i dont care.
Its like a giant DM asprin!
The maps are awesome, intricate.....the very nature of the hunt is a hide and seek situation instead of running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
THIS GAME ROCKS
I might just have to change my sig to - "If it bleeds, we can kill it"
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
Agreed! AvP2 is a blast! (escuse the pun). The only thing I find irritating are the clueless schmucks that don't understand how to play the game. When I spawned as a marine I was getting shot by my fellow marines, who happen to be newbs of course. Those dickwits will shoot at anything that moves.
Of course, Uncle Foo Fighter was right there with his blaster rifle to send them to newb heaven. Payback is a bitch.

Um, how about posting a screenshot for those that don't have it yet?????
It would be nice.
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
Heh..sorry..your right! how selfish of me/us. I was more worried about being disemboweled and cauterized by a shoulder mounted cannon, or beheaded by a spinning disk thrown by a cloaked alien.
Seriously though....if I counted right...there are 159 more weapon/action keymaps than there are in NOLF2....Direction/Jump/Crouch/Fire/Reload/Zoom/Switch weapons
HAH
I have more to do switching Vision modes when I play as a predator trying to look for sneaky colonial marines than my worse day in Siberia.
Screenies are on the way!!
To those players who are inclined to NOLF2 DM......break open your piggy banks and grab a $20 copy of AVP2 Gold...its so good....youll want to go back to the store you bought it from and pay them another $20.
Maybe the store will let you trade in your copy of CSCZ and call it even.
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
Just ordered my copy of AvP2 Gold from Amazon. I can't find it anywhere in stores locally.
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
Try the discount rack at your local mall s/w store....ive seen it at Electronic Boutique.....and bought it at Software Etc...they had 3 copies. You wont find it at Walmart, Target, Circuit City or any other big retail store because its got to be close to 3 years old....yep just checked the box...2001.
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
Damn it!!!! I keep getting disconnected just as the action starts getting good!
Oh well, my order should ship tonight. So maybe by next monday I'll be fraggin your arses!
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
Oh well, my order should ship tonight. So maybe by next monday I'll be fraggin your arses! :twisted:
dude, we don't have gold yet. there are apparently some map updates from sierra on the basic install disk (do the numbered one first, then the mp or sp in any order) and Gorf muttered something the other night about updated maps from sierra that Cainan told him about but I'm not sure if that's the same thing... I think it is though because Gorf had the way way old version that didn't ship with updates... does that soudn right gorf?
but... Cainan has gold on order so we shall see...
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
Oh crap!!! You mean I ordered that fekken Gold copy for naught?
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
That's what I have as well. The early release copy.
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
even though you are probably joking:
absolutely not... the server isn't running gold... yet. but unless cainan thinks the extra stuff is lame-tastic i figure he'll put gold on it in short order.
i just wanted to point out that there's no good reason for you not having the maps we have, we just have the updates from sierra.
f00
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
No, it means you have a better version than we are running at the moment.
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
I see. So my money isn't wasted after all.
Love AvP2 MP so far, but my god the predator mode sucks so badly. The should fired weapons is can't hit the broad side of a marine's ass at close range. When I shoot it travels right past my apponent. It has caused me to die multiple times. And what's up with the handheld blaster weapon? After a few rounds it runs empty and won't fire. I hate it.
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
The " Missing Resource " kick I was experiencing on Wednesday night was due a brain fart on my part...I updated the game to Sierras latest patch...but forgot to DL the MP expansion maps...which Cainan is running. Had nothing to do with my copy of gold.
Gold comes packaged with a Primal Hunt expansion pack which may or may not have more MP maps....Im practicing on the SP missions but will initiate the MP mode tonight to see if they are running maps currently not running on Voodoo.
This afternoon, after getting my predator ass handed to me a few times while stalking a marine with my shoulder fired cannon. I tried a different strategy. Its pretty effective because I was able to get 3 kills in before I was gutted. Im sure I will get better with it as I learn the maps...but your right....I cant even OSOK if I hold down the primary fire and build up a huge charge with the auto aim reticule engaged ( Blue Vision Mode )

the blue is for auto aim against marines. use red against aliens and the funky negative mode against other preds and mecha.
as for the hand blaster, right click seems to stun and damage, left click seems to just shoot. it uses your ennergy (blue bar on right side) and so does cloaking ( c key) so to recharge use the energy sifter (t) key but beware the sifter makes u a sitting duck until its done. to heal use g key but this really zaps energy too and makes u sitting duck bla bla bla.

Well, I basically suck at it and while its likely due to the lack of practice, my eyes are really strained to the point they hurt.
I don't know if I ever told anyone this, but I am severely nearsighted.
I wear contacts when I work. I wear glasses when my allergies/sinus prevent me from wearing contacts.
My allergies are really bad this weekend and thats likely the reason why my eyes hurt extra bad. Are all the multiplayer games this dark?
I'm going to check them out as well as practice on the single player.
I left the game tonight because I didn't want to be yelled at for sucking.
I intend to try again when I'm feeling better, but so far I'm thinking this probably is just not my cup of tea.
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
Yea....the games are VERY dark...matter of fact, when I started playing this again..I was pissed that there is no inherent gamma adjust tool in the game like there is on every other fps developed in the last 5 years.
Technically...i guess...it adds to the "feel" of the game. The movies were all about being scares shitless because people are generally afraid of what they cant see
Once you get past the newness of the interface...it sort of falls into place though. In the mode we were playing last night ( Alien vs Predator ), illumination is overrated because your targets have green auras if you are the alien, and if your the predator, you have the red vision mode with auto tracking( which i found to be VERY effective...much to f00's chagrin)
Generally..the Predator has superior vision capabilites, the alien has an enhanced "FLIR" type mode, and the marine has a wimpy ass "flashlite" which is great as long as your enemy is right in your face...but it does help with Navigation while your radar is picking up movement.
I hope you stick with it Mellie...we need more voodoo people to play so its even more fun....and while I had fun gutting you several times last night...secretly...I felt bad
Im sure ill be swearing at you for kicking my ass in no time at all
Re:Alien Vs. Predator 2!!! Oh yeah!!!
yo
i have found that the driver packages from ati and nvidia both include gamma settiing sliders at the settings -> advanced dialog or in the utility. these are NOT the default drivers bundled withxpee, you have to use the cd that came with yer card or use the INTERnet (joke for vax weenies) to dl the official driver/util pkg.
it is almost essential to do this on at least one of my monitors and i am beginnning to think i may have to make a more minor adjustment to my avp/nolf machine cuz it fails several calibration tests that i have tried. its possible yer in the same boat, mel, in which case making these adjustments will actually get your machine closer to playing the game as the designer intended. odd though that sounds......................
