Hope you haven't traded it in yet, because Sega has announced that it's releasing its second downloadable content for Aliens vs. Predator on July 7.

Called the "Bughunt Map Pack," the DLC will contain two new multiplayer maps for "Deathmatch," "Predator Hunt," "Infestation," "Species Deathmatch," "Mixed Species Deathmatch," and Domination. Also in the pack will be two more maps designed specifically for the "Survival" mode.

Sega says the maps will included "environment hazards and new weather effects." Then again, it also says that detailed descriptions of the maps can be found on its official website, but the last thing it mentions is an Alien and Predator "galactic dance off" in PlayStation Home. So I'm not sure if I can believe them.

The "Bughunt" pack will be available for $6.99 on PC and PlayStation 3, which translates to 560 MS Points for the Xbox 360. You thinking about picking it up?

Does anyone still play this on the 360? PS3 community is dead, I might have pick up a copy for my treesiksty if there's some community left over there.

Won't be picking this up. There's never enough people to fill up a muliplayer match. In the games I've played, there's usually about five people or so, and as the match goes on, people start dropping out.

A shame because its alot of fun.

I might bite if the survivor maps are more than mere hallways. Rebellion needs a little inspiration for horde map type designs. Which is ironic since they were doing this since the original avp games.

They looks pretty cool, still have this and haven't played in a while. Did Rebellion ever fix the online problems? Probably not :/

Oh and 8 player Species DM is stupid if there are 3 species. Every and I mean EVERY time I played this it wound up with 2 humans, 2 xenos and 4 damn predators.

I just GameFlied (GameFlew?) this game and I'm enjoying the single-player so far. Haven't tried multiplayer, but from what garethxxgod tells me, it's fun... as long as you're playing as the Predator.

I will buy this, just as soon as they make the game work properly.

If the matchmaking wasn't broken I'd probably pick both packs up. From what I hear nobody has the map packs.

The most recent patch has fixed a lot of issues found on PC (and will probably be patched to consoles soon) Dedicated servers make finding matches a lot easier, and with this recent patch XP can now be gained in non ranked matches, which should almost eliminate the need to look for ranked matches on consoles as well.
List of all the fixes the patches make:

It's not a perfect game by far, but I'm glad to see Rebellion is supporting it. Just wish you could gain xp in survivor matches :(

These maps look better than anything I saw in the demo.

They are actually charging for these maps? You would think they might want to give people who bought this game a trophy for putting up with what is overall a generic crap game.

I still can't believe how stick figure the animations are for the alien movements. Nothing approximating motion capture or believable, graceful movement. Not scary or believable in any way. Just another fast arcade twitch shooter that should have been released as a $20 dollar PSN title.

I can find games. I just have to go through internet and not dedicated filter. Not really sure what the difference is between internet and dedicated. Cause host is well the host option which no one plays. Everyone is always on the internet option.

If the game played in a fluid way as depicted in the video, I might have bought it.
