Rebellion Scraps Class System for AVP Multiplayer

[BlackWatch]

This from gaming website Destructoid:

Rebellion has promised that we'll be seeing Aliens vs. Predator multiplayer before the year is out, but there's bad news for fans of class systems. Claiming that the "purity" of the game's three species is more important, head of art Tim Jones doesn't want to muddle things up with classes.

"Our multiplayer reveal will be happening later this year," he states. "Suffice to say that you will able to play as all three species and there are some great game modes that make the most of each of their special abilities.

"We've looked very carefully at what has worked well and proven popular in previous games -- and what has not -- and we are focusing on making each species work as best as it can without complicating things further with class-systems. There is a beautiful purity to the three-species combat we have."

While some fans will surely rejoice over Rebellion's decision to keep the multiplayer "pure", class and level systems have become a standard for multiplayer shooters in the last couple of years, so it remains to be seen how this will effect the reception by gamers and critics.
