Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2

I will say outright, they need server engineers to work on the communication problems that sometimes occur between P2P connection. And that every time that I load a new mission I should not have to change my settings back to private lobby so I can avoid matchmaking. After completing the campaign, twice so far on steadily increasing difficulties, I can firmly say this game is great. Writing is whatever in my opinion. "Woke" character npcs in the game aren't really a thing - Aliens has always had strong female leads, get over yourselves chuds. Graphics: 7/10 Player animations: 6/10 Story: 7/10 Gameplay: 8/10 Mechanics: 6/10 (they need some polishing) There are currently bugs in the game that soft lock the player on progression in missions which needs immediate hot fixing. It is severely disappointing that this hasnt been addressed yet. Yes players can get locked behind doors if a friendly player progresses too far forward thus preventing them from joining in on any fire fights. This can be mitigated by teleporting all players (and npc companions) to the current objective or firefight. Optimization, I am running a 3090 and haven't had issues. Most players complaining about lagging or stuttering most likely have not actually dug into their BIOS to optimize their machine. I can confirm that AMD users will suffer performance wise on this game as it appears that anyone who hosts a match that has an AMD CPU will run into lagging and buffering/longer load times. It is clear that this game was optimized for Intel and Nvidia users mainly. I will say that this is a huge negative on the devs part for failing to account for this. Overall: 6/10 Game is a blast and highly challenging even with friends. It does NOT spoon feed you like most shooters. So if you enjoy a challenge, dislike hand holding, and have friends; pick up this game. If you think that just because a woman is in a game it's woke and bad, ignore this game and don't buy it. I suggest you actually read/watch the aliens series/movies so you can understand and enjoy the game. Otherwise your BS negative reviews are wasting everyone else's time.

Cannot recommend this game right now in its current state. I have lost count on the amount of times a door has failed to open/locked itself before the entire team walks through (yes people still explorer or don't stick with the group, or run ahead). Only to run into a the inevitable "everyone needs to be here" to progress. Additionally, the amount of times an FMV plays that leads to to a black unrecoverable screen that has sounds, subtitles, noises... Which leads to me forcing a close, re-open, sit through all that opening garbage, to try and reconnect (maybe it does, maybe it doesn't) for the FMV to play again and end with with several possibilities, A) Let me resume playing, B) Let me stand still unable to move, C) Lets the enemy kill me. D) Goes back to a black screen. A couple other of things that happen from time to time, swapping armor swaps the gender of the character/look of the head. The head vanishes randomly and I need to re-customize the character. Makes this a regret buy at this point in time.

I played the first game, this one is pretty much the same thing a few improvements but not enough to justify this price. It's not a AAA game. It's fun but not at this price they didn't change / add that much to justify the price.

This is lazy, its like were looping with the issues the first game had, gameplay and technical LMAO. The gameplay is the exact same as the first, nothing new added that actually changes the flow or feeling and it doesnt make it feel "new". The game re uses voice actors over and over again and it is hard to not notice, the connections constantly disconnect, you have barely any options for customization for your actual person, the gameplay loop is just run to marker, hold F, defend and repeat 3 times. YOU CANNOT TYPE IN GAME TO ANYONE. If they fix it more and add more quality content or changes than I would love to leave a positive review, but for now it gets a thumbs down. Just play the first one for a better price till this drops down a bit. I would also recommend adding some animation to rotating your camera/character when your'e standing still, it looks silly to just slide. I also think having some filter options would be nice and fun for replay or preference.

Brilliant game so happy I got it! It feels like the original game but with better graphics and smoother gameplay. The game fits seamlessly into the Alien timeline, featuring references to the first three movies, the prequels, and Alien Isolation. The gameplay reminds me of Left 4 Dead world war z and back 4 blood but with more sci fi action and less gore. my only wish is for there to be a way of purchasing or viewing enemy models in-game, since the fast-paced action makes it difficult to appreciate the designs. Also feel that the Xenomorph life cycle needs to be explained more clearly, as new alien media does not bother explaining it, and the new types of aliens incorporated into this game can be confusing for both long time and new fans. Adding lore files or adding more detail to the already existing enemy bios would be a great way to clarify the alien life cycle and its mutations. The game does feel a bit tame at times, with patronizing voice lines and a lack of the gore that made the series so iconic. Overall, I'd give it an 7.50 out of 10; it's a significant improvement over the first game, and is one of the best games i have played this year and I'm excited to see what future DLCs will bring.

Buy in sale tbh. The story is absolute garbage, the NPC chatter is annoying and extremely cringe, the characters feel selfinserts from cringe devs. Why you're doing what you're doing on the planets is quite vague if I say so myself from just the info we get ingame, because the hub story, god knows 99.99% of people will skip every single dialogue as fast as they can humanly manage after hearing the NPC's talk, seriously. But it's annoying that it's literally just "go to this area, grab intel, decode intel, grab new intel, decode intel, congrats extract" and that is it for every single mission. AFTE1 imo had decent story compared to this. At least it felt more logical. (story at times also makes no sense with their reactions to engineers/engineer ships. Since we've visited those in the first game... same with the new xenomorphs...) Gameplay however is decent, somewhat buggy/floaty. Less easy to see movement paths of enemies compared to the first game, but more "go to area, stay and defend for 30 seconds, push 30m, defend for 30 seconds, push 100m, defend for 40 seconds, push find location where you were told to find intel, defend for ~2 minutes, go to location to decode the intel, defend for ~2 minutes, push to next location of intel and repeat the push defend thing. It's decent for gameplay loop tbf. Build power, now I only did engineer (machinist) till max. And although it seems there is more build variety, they added some weird perks like 3 times of the same size which is strange? So for example, you'd expect a 2 slot 1hp for second regen for turret for a lvl 1. A 3 slot 2hp/s for lvl2. Instead You get lvl 1,2,3 each as a seperate 2 slot bar for 1hp/s. And there are several types like that which just weirds me out. But yea, decent game improvements if you enjoyed the first game, but not worth at full price honestly. (also they made the cover system janked and shoulder switch for changed for no real reason.

Friend bought me this game to play together. We watched Aliens (1986) right before. Game was a blast, story was perfect for the universe, in my opinion. Skill tree for the classes feel cool and fun to play with. Plenty of guns to pick from. WillContinueToPlay/10 oh, and +2 for having a horde mode
