That's how it was in the old games, certainly more what I'm after, cheers.

I'll have to see how much I use ranged attacks to see where best to put it. I was guessing at the defaults, as I always use MOUSE2 for forwards and Z, X for sidestep and kind of build the other keys around that little cluster in the corner.

I do have issue with the Alien controls, it's certainly not as fluid as the originals crouch to crawl over anything method.

Not quite sure why they removed/changed it either.

Because the original was a completely different engine? Before physics in games existed?

Shouldn't make any difference, there were some physics in games way back when, just not as verbose as the ones currently available and I was talking more about the actual climbing function itself.

Having to click and hold down for a few seconds per suface transition is no where near as easy or fluent as just holding down (or toggling) a single key and then automatically moving onto that surface.

That's why they put auto transition in the game, give it a go!

AVP's MP has a lot of potential from what I've played, the dedicated server is still borked mostly, so that's not great.

The non deathmatch modes all seemed a lot of fun and have potential if more than 3 people turn up :P
