Motion Tracker Here's a lowdown on what's happening to the Gamers Edition: the information PC Zone got in its preview was a leak, and never meant to be published. Fox Interactive officials -- Pezman and Dave Stalker -- confirmed this, and said the Gamers Edition has been changed to be more multiplayer-oriented now. So, there's a high chance now that dedicated servers, and other multiplayer stuff will be in the Gamers Edition. Let's just hope they add dedicated servers in a patch as well the expansion. Make sure to read Eldritch's post and Pezman's post for info on this. Mailbag Topic: What if things don't go as planned? What if the PREditor doesn't work right, dedicated servers won't be released, and the expansion sucks - what would you do? Attack Fox's headquarters? Move on to other games? Send your feedback.

They have also gotten rid of their Feedback page (which was basically a guest book) because of the lack on censoreship. One person had been insulting us AvP gamers, and another was a Nazi-wannabe, and those people unfortunately couldn't be stopped from posting. A new Feedback page may come soon but until then check out this great looking site! BigB's AvP Poems - Panik 11/28/99 13:08 PST I'm sure some of you have read or atleast know about some of BigB's AvP Poems. Well now Area 52 has been kind enough to make a page full of his many poems, so check 'em out. Aliens Hive - David Shipley 11/28/99 0:39 PST AvPNews.com has hosted a new site: the Aliens Hive - a site dedicated to the Alien race in the movies. You know what's the best part of the site? The walkthroughs they stole from us. That's precious. Literature Submission - David Shipley 11/28/99 0:21 PST Nemesis sent me this nice literature piece depicting Colonial Marines battling Aliens entitled, "Ghost Story Part I" -- go check it out. However, this is an interactive literature piece - here's what Nemesis has to say: "This story is public domain, it maybe added onto by anyone, but please don't kill any of the mian characters, and if you're posting it somewhere, please let me read it first. Thank you." Read the story now! Site News: Sat · Nov 27 · 1999         Submit news!

Get it here. The Fishing Poll - David Shipley 11/27/99 2:04 PST It's been a week, so it's out with the old Fishing Poll, and in with the new Fishing Poll. Of course, here's the previous Poll results: "How does Aliens vs. Predator play on your computer?" Answer Votes Percentage Total votes: 346 (embarrassing!) Smooth as silk. Votes: 207 (59.8%) After two keyboards destroyed, it works great. Votes: 32 (9.2%) I still can't get it to work, and you won't help me! Votes: 16 (4.6%) Running out of Poll questions, huh, Shipley? Votes: 91 (26.3%) Yes, I am runnin' out. But with my last ounce of brain-power, I've thought-up this new question, "What do you think about the Gamers Edition being multiplayer-oriented now?". Vote-vote-vote, or the Pic of the Day will be late again. Heh, pain works. Site News: Fri · Nov 26 · 1999         Submit news!

EH TC Returns! - Panik 11/26/99 17:22 PST The first and currently only mod for AvP is the Event Horizon Total Conversion (EH TC) based on the horror/sci-fi movie (and one of my favorites) Event Horizon. Things are still being worked out on how it will go, and we can only hope that when the Gamer's Edition of AvP is released we'll get the source code. If Fox and Rebellion is smart they will release it, but Fox usually doesn't care about us simple folk. Well, anyway, check out the EH TC website for more info on this great upcoming mod!

If you're an alien and you like the tactical, sneaky approach, the best tactics to kill a predator is to use a charged tail whip then quickly bite his head. A better way to do this quicker is to put a small piece of tape (1mm^2) in the direct center of your monitor. This acts as a makshift crosshair to make head-bites easier. This tactic can also be used on marines if you don't want to tail-whip (which kills them in one hit anyway). - By NsaiN. - More Daily Tactics - Send your tactic.
