They seem to have gotten things a little fixed now on psn; you no longer have to wait 30 minutes for 8 people, you can just gather a smaller group of friends and it will begin a game much quicker, though it means you can only have a smaller party.

Luckily this means me and 2 friends got to have several games kicking each others arses and I got to play and work out the various intricacies of each.

I am loving the pred, though I rarely seem to win when I get into close quarters with a xeno, but that's probably about right really. Only way I can win seems to be to heavy attack, then quickly circle around for a trophy kill. I MAY be able to win by backing off right after the heavy hit and using a secondary weapon, but that's more complicated, slower and riskier, depending on what weapon is equiped. I also learned the hard way that plasmacaster does not = an instant kill, at least on marines.
