I'm not saying dx9 looks bad, but on my computer the textures seem to have no depth. it looks dx 7/8 to me w/o all the new stuff. I also had no comment on the map design and I don't think dx 10/11 effects have any bearing on map design.
I'll go digging for the other keybinds as well. I just couldn't seem to find them.

Quit talking non-sense. Low res/low def textures are usually a symptom of having to optimise memory usage for the modern consoles w/ 512MB RAM.

If that is your idea of humor, you are a sad little man.
It's humorous that he assumes all the maps are ugly, empty, and badly-designed on account of a single map from a year-old demo.

It's also humorous that you assume I meant all the maps in this game and wasn't talking generally about any map in any game.

So all you mean is that new shaders will not drastically change existing maps. Fair enough. So? Nobody's saying that the map design is going to be radically changed, but there is a big difference in tech level between a 360 game, in DX9, created a year ago, and a PC game with DX11 to be released in two weeks.
It is not unreasonable to assume that the final version will look better. Whether the maps are empty or badly designed is completely and utterly irrelevant.

Just played as an alien and wow am i ever disappointed, took me a minute to figure out that i didn't have the crawl so fucking slow a predator can run backwards faster than me button on and that's just how fast they made the aliens, im not sure why i was stuck on all fours the whole time too as last i checked every alien game and movie has them standing up tall except when rushing as fast as they can. As a huge fan of the first two games this was really really disappointing.
oh and yeah the wall climbing sucks.

Did you use sprint or pounce?

I can't even run the damn thing fullscreen (at any resolution. Tried 1024x768, 1360x768, and 1920x1080. Runs in windowed mode, soon as I go fullscreen I get 'display mode not supported'), so it can kindly fuck off. Great job, Rebellion.
