Aliens vs. Predator

[Dr. Boogie]

I do feel like I'm struggling with the melee, but that might be because I can't find any documentation to explain it.

For the marine, melee combat is simple: if you get melee'd, you're fucked. I get that you can do light and heavy attacks, but for the alien at least, I have yet to successfully land a heavy attack. You wind up like a major league pitcher, then I assume something else happens because I usually get hit shortly after that.


Also, there's very little reason to use any weapon other than the pulse rifle as the marine. The shotgun would be good if close range didn't mean immediate death for the marine, and the flamer is half as effective as the shotgun. Maybe the sniper rifle is good, but I haven't been able to use it that much.
