I've notice multiple people saying they will be getting Aliens Vs. Predator for the LAN.

Looks flipping sweet!

You can preorder it on Steam and get Universe At War for free + 3 unique in-game skins.

I'm bringing it, are you?

Hell yah I'm getting AvP for AWOL. Nuff said

Please reply here as well as vote if you plan on playing AvP at the AWOL LAN. I'm looking to host some AvP games myself if I can. Also please post what you would like to see as far as game type to host. Below are all of the game types.

My personal favorites in order are Infestation, Predator hunt, and Species Deathmatch. Survivor is fun too, but that's more of a coop and with only 4 players so I'm going to avoid hosting those unless we only have 4 people playing at any given time.


DEATH MATCH:
If you love a game with frantic, brutal chaos then Death Match in AVP multiplayer is for you. It’s all about getting the most kills in the time limit set. Players can also win the match by hitting the target score before anyone else.

INFESTATION:
For total over-whelming mayhem, nothing comes close to the tension and potential for pant-wetting scenarios than INFESTATION. One player starts the match as an Alien Hunter and their task is to kill the Marine prey. When a Marine player is killed they will join the Alien Hunter team and help to kill off any remaining Marines.


MIXED SPECIES DEATH MATCH:
just like Death Match, but with mixed species. Two teams, made up from all three species fight to get the most kills in the set time limit or to reach the target score before the other team.


SURVIVOR:
For the ultimate test of stamina, play Survivor Mode. Survivor allows for up to four players to enter an arena to fight waves of progressively stronger aliens. Each arena will be set up with two main areas. One will be a platform which is relatively easy to defend; the other will be an area where ambush by aliens is more likely. Supplies of health and ammo will re-spawn in this second area.


PREDATOR HUNT:
If you’re after a more stealthy multiplayer game go for Predator Hunt. In this mode one player is selected to become the Predator Hunter, the rest of the players take the role of the Marine prey. The Hunter must use the Predator’s stealth abilities and advanced equipment to pick off the prey and score points. The Marines will need to defend themselves from this threat and if possible, to kill the Hunter.


SPECIES DEATH MATCH:
Species Death Match pits a Marine team, Alien team and Predator team against each other in a race to get the most kills within the set time limit or to reach the target score before any of the other teams.


DOMINATION:
Take capture the flag to a whole new level with Domination. In Domination two teams fight for ownership of Control Points around the level. Owning a Control Point gives the team a small and steady, stream of points. The more Control Points owned, the more that team scores. A team will win when their score has reached 100 points.

Kevin, will your computer handle AVP?

I'll be playing AvP.

As far as game mode, I am not too worried. I just want to have playing a new and fun game at the lan.

I am up for any of the multiplayer modes. Isnt there a co-op version also?

Demo on Steam ATM

Nice! I'll have to pick that up once it comes out.

The "coop" version is survival mode. It's kind of like L4d in the sense you have 4 marine players that go up against hordes of aliens, but the only diff is that survival mode means just that. It's not running to an escape route, you keep fighting and fighting as the waves get worse until you eventually die *from what I gathered*.

Sweet. The demo is up on steam.

D-load the demo, practice up a bit, and then buy the game for the LAN!
