Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2

Im just going to be very short and blunt. This game wasnt play tested and if it was it was done by people who must have never played video games before. Wonky slop thats not balanced. Just go play the 1st one

I mean it's fine. It's more of the same with some decent improvements. Its still pretty jank but on higher difficulties with more gear unlocked its super fun. There are some forced dialogue sections you have to do to unlock more missions and they really are as truly awful as everyone is saying. Not enough to vote the game down unless you are a complete baby but they do suck. Fun swarm shooter overall though.

This game should have been a DLC for AFTE 1, not a seperate game with a 80$ price tag.

Oh man. Ich sage ja. Auf Steam würde ich nie ein Game veröffentlichen. Außer die Performtes und dem nicht mehr ganz so Retro Sound kann ich nichts sagen. Mehr Aliens, mehr Klassen, mehr von allem. Ballern eben. Der Sani war bei guter Gruppe im ersten Teil schon als HEILER überflüssig. Ist kein MMO. Wer natürlich 8 Stunden zockt und nur eine Klasse den Prolog durchballert. Ja der steht schnell mit leeren Händen da. Die 50€ sind tatsächlich auch meiner Meinung nach etwas happig, weil die grundlegenden Mechaniken nicht neu sind und auch keine neuen hinzugekommen sind gegenüber Teil 1. Empfehle es trotzdem, als Alien Fan. UPDATE: Also ich bin jetzt im vorletzten Dialog. Wird immer besser. Weiß auch nicht ob was am Sound beim heutigen Patch gemacht wurde. Ist aber räumlicher Sound wahrnehmbar. Freue mich schon auf Horde....BÄM.

Constant DC, Host crash, Map Resets to BEGINNING, Some weapons useless, Paid weapons behind DLC stronger than some base weapons. AI are completely useless will not shoot at targets near them, solo mode has nodes to increase there damage/hp etc means nothing if they do not shoot and constantly block you playing. Recoil on some guns to such a level where you are just constantly pulling down for hundreds of rounds to counter, i gave up and just use smart gun (auto aim) on all classes with damage modifier, who the hell wants to hold multiple mouse buttons while pulling down for 500 rounds as each one does 3/4 damage per shot. Hidden stat, that is not explained apart from in a tool tip menu over 4 pen prevents shots bouncing of SOME, that's right SOME have more than 4 resistance, so you need MORE pen than tooltip states. So either maximize the pen or just not use 60% of the weapons. ( Important on higher difficulties as there are more elites, less so on IGN or Standard skill levels ) I played the original, never felt this much grief while playing, spend most of my time inside the HUB shooting walls to try and make some guns playable, such as maxing recoil reduction just to reduce the amount of pulldown on most guns or simply give up and just install the auto-aim augment. Do not even get me started on friendly fire, people seem to miss the part where above standard it states "friendly fire enabled"

Had a great time from the get go playing this with my squad. Im not into conversing with the NPCs so much so they could have toned that down. But the actual game play is solid and fun. Great atmosphere and sound. Solid AI. Learnng curve is low. No major issues from me. Looking forward to playing through this. Solid price point as well.

its bad in every way other than visually. 1. locking certain basic things like cosmetics or challenge cards behind game progression feels like a lazy way to forcibly pad out hours played. 2. enemies jittering or even outright teleporting is a constant issue, especially during the second-half of the campaign. 3. the audio is dog water to be frank. the aliens sound like theyre halfway across the room from you even if theyre up in your face, voicelines can and will repeat with an echo, the guns are only passable. 4. the dialogue is terrible. if they were intending to make an obnoxious 'so quirky lol' character then they did raptor well. ko has the personality of easily forgettable cardboard even for someone supposed to be the hardass type. shipp. piper i feel as though could have had better development other than 'i spoke once on the comms now im learning :)' esther and wrench i like simply because they feel more natural compared to the rest. 5. i struggled to pay attention to the storyline on account of the fact that it was so bland and samey. the prologue had me hooked, i was excited. the 2.x missions managed to keep that excitement building up until 3.1 even if there were fair leaps of escalation. the more you start to learn about the big evil doctor, however, and the further you progress into that arc the worse it gets until it becomes nothing more than a 'big scary scientist is doing EVIL and playing GOD.' 6. the ai clearly has a few screws loose as very frequently from what ive played, they would do things such as conga lining or get themselves stuck on nothing in an open space (an issue especially prevalent with the droid enemies). the only ai that seems to work decently well and kind of erratically are the synths, which is bad, because youd also expect that the xenomorph enemies would be able to do more than walk in singular straight lines at you. 7. semi infrequently (in my experience) the interaction key would either take one-two seconds delay or outright stop working. really just a nuisance compared to everything else. 8. the difference between the pre-rendered cutscenes, in-game cutscenes and the actual gameplay itself is utterly jarring to such a degree that it can pull you out of the immersion; going from wonderful to look at immediately into grainy 80s footage. this game is ultimately just fireteam elite 1 with prettier graphics and DOZENS of issues which one wouldve hoped wouldnt have been stuffed into a game that costs a whole 50 dollars. i love that they made challenge cards infinite, added new weapons and systems for said weapons, and abilities. but when i can count how many new things theyve added to 2 on both of my hands while the issues that persist infinitely, constantly grinding against you, its really just not worth it to purchase this game at full price. at best this is a game that you wait a year or two before buying, or buy it when its at a 15-20 dollar discount.

I loved the first game and I'm really enjoying this one, but... There are performance issues galore, jittery animations, bugs aplenty, the social system's asinine, the story and voice acting is horrendous, and - at €50.00 - the game is well and truly over priced. Missions 2.1-2.3 may as well be the same mission (about as aesthetically diverse as a padded room). Finally, the toughest difficulties are too easy, even with moderately negative challenge cards. Horde mode is great, except for the trolls. If a host leaves after a full wave (5 waves in a full wave) via escape > abandon mission, all other players do not receive full rewards (I assume the same is true in the campaign). Cold Iron, fix this as soon as possible. Your game is fun, but we're already contending with poor optimisation, jittery animations, and bugs. We shouldn't have to worry about losing our rewards because someone wants to be a D followed by an I, a C, and a K. Also, implement a vote kick system and allow players to join missions already progress, regardless of whether they cue for a specific mission or via quick play. If a game is in progress and there's a spot, let them join that game. The positives? The game play is genuinely fun and there's a decent amount of content to keeping going through: not tons, but enough to keep you entertained. The soundtrack and sound effects are both very authentic. Playing the game with friends is a blast, especially if you're all already into the Alien franchise and can bang out some humorous quotes from the movies, i.e., "Marines! We are leaving!" While missions 2.1-2.3 lack diversity, you can't argue that they and the rest of the missions aren't true to the franchise: they would fit into any of the Alien movies (or other Alien games). There are plenty of weapons to choose from and the majority of them are viable. While there are generally agreed upon best perks and attachments, there's a huge amount of variety in building your own builds. Play to your strengths, not the meta. The only things I'll say about the attachments is that they need to be better balanced. There are probably 200+ attachments, and I doubt more than 20-30 of them will see regular use. I do recommend this game, and I will give it a thumbs up, but I also recommend waiting until the first hotfix and until the game goes down in price: even €10.00 less would be touching upon fair,. While Cold Iron would suffer initially, that dip in price would very likely bring in the fence sitters. €15.00-€25.00 less for the next week or two would be the sweet spot. However, I would suggest for Cold Iron to do this when releasing the first hotfix too: the game needs an influx of players. So... it's a good game, but has some serious issues.
