    The pc version will be available via STEAM tomorrow! :D

    Glad to see a real demo these days, just a heads up for all you gamers out there.

    I tried to install yesterday but it didn't work for me. I tried to go into the steam forums to see if it was a common problem but instead I ran into TONS of complaints with things like imbalance issues and poor decisions, like being one shotted by aliens and not enough random spawnpoints and no invulnerability after spawning so that enemies can just camp the spawn points and repeatedly kill you? I'll reserve judgement until I've tried it... and HOPEFULLY there'll be a SP demo. Any NBR'ers tried it?

    I dont know man, I played 4 matches all as a marine, and I on every match ended up winning by at least half that of the guy below me, not only that but also found aliens to be easy targets, sure they can kill you easy, but they have to get to you first, and if you let them get to you, then it not a case of overpowered aliens but just plain bad skills. I found it pretty balanced. Game is brand new, people need to get used to it.

    I found the controls to be very sluggish and the graphics to be weak. Another thing is the sounds the predator makes don't sound like they're supposed to (if you've seen the movies or played the older games you'll understand).

    I'm hoping they fix these issues before the release, or I'll have to pass on this one.
