Each of the three seven-level single-player campaigns takes place simultaneously. The events that are made up of one especially bad day for the humans manning a research station on planet LV-1201 are presented from three different perspectives: an alien research subject, a member of a predator hunting party, and a colonial marine who is part of a squad sent in response to a distress beacon. Though each story is self-contained, all three intersect at certain points, and the results of actions in one campaign can be seen in the others. For instance, as the marine, you'll encounter a predator trapped in a cryogenic stasis pod, which you must move so that it can fit down a ventilation shaft. During the predator campaign, it's you in stasis watching as the marine works the pod controls, inadvertently freeing you. The game is filled with little crossovers like these, and it becomes almost like a minigame in itself just keeping track of them, if for no other reason than to appreciate the impressive level of thought that went into creating the story's complex underlying structure.

The predator has a few new weapons, most notably a net gun for trapping enemies and a remotely detonated mine launcher. Along with the original's medicomp, which transfers energy to health, the predator now has a device that also recharges his energy. This permits him to fully charge both his energy and health in between fights, and it ends up making him potentially more unstoppable than he was before. To counterbalance this, he's somewhat weaker now--just barely sturdier than the marine, in fact.
Multiplayer now includes an in-game server browser and a few new modes of play. Deathmatch and team deathmatch are still supported, as are last man standing and predator/alien tag, though their names have been changed to survivor and hunt, respectively. The new modes are evac, a team game in which one side must prevent the other from reaching a predetermined spot and surviving there for 10 seconds, and overrun, which is a team game in which one side must defend a position against an enemy assault. Except for the scoring system, the two new modes are pretty similar. The co-op skirmish mode that was included in the original is now gone, and bots have not been implemented. The networking code also appears to need some work, and games are choppy even on low-ping servers--both of which could be due to the paucity of decent servers at this point. However, it's possible that this will be fixed in a patch. Either way, if you're planning on buying the game strictly for multiplayer over the Internet, you may want to wait for a patch or two.
Beside the Control Desk is a Control Panel. Press the button and use the Hacking Device to restore the power. Your objective now is to return to the Landing Bay. An alien drone will come out of the ceiling. Take care of him and go through the air-vent nearby. Another alien drone will burst through the vent giving you access to it. Go through the vent watching out for any aliens which attack you from behind and in front of you. Towards the end of the vent, go left and up the ladder into another room.
But the Predators in Aliens vs Predator 2 aren't roaming around on Earth. The place they've picked for their hunt is actually a human-run research post that specialises in somewhat dodgy experiments upon Aliens, which includes a fully functioning artificial hive stuffed full of head-biting, colonist-cocooning, acid-for-blood xenomorphs. Presumably the Predators see this as an opportunity to take on two notable foes at once, collecting both human and alien trophies for their gory collections. But what they may not have banked upon is the fact that the facility itself has run into a little trouble, the aliens breaking loose of their restraints and running amok through the two sections of the large facility, the observation pods and the operations centre. Throw into the mix a bunch of marines who've turned up to deal with the alien infestation and you've got a recipe for havoc, gore and more brown trousers moments than you can shake a spear at.
There is one area in which Aliens vs Predator 2could be improved. That area is teamwork, or more specifically, the lack of it. While it's appropriate for Predators (who usually work alone), the other species are historically prone to fighting in numbers. At least with the Alien campaign, for story reasons you start out as the only one around, and indeed, it's you who is responsible for setting the whole incident at the facility in motion. But I'd at least expect the marines to back up their operatives. Instead, you only ever see your comrades at the start of the early missions, standing by a dropship while you wander off to take on the aliens single-handedly for no explainable reason. I wouldn't expect them to survive all the way through the game, but they should at least come with you initially.
Aliens Versus Predator 2 pitted colonial marines against predators against aliens. It was an asymmetrical first-person shooter that stood out when it was released in 2001. For seven years, the multiplayer servers pulsed with life. No dark corner offered sanctuary, cloaked predators disemboweled marines, and marines surrounded themselves with thickets of spider mines, and, all the while, alien players crawled through the vents.
