Aliens versus Predator 2 is a science fiction first-person shooter video game developed by Monolith Productions and published by Sierra On-Line for Microsoft Windows in 2001, and for Mac OS X in 2003. The game is a sequel to Aliens versus Predator (1999); both games are based on the characters of the Alien and Predator media franchises as well as the Alien vs. Predator crossover series. It is set on the fictional planet LV-1201, which houses a vast series of ruins infested with Aliens that is routinely visited by a clan of Predators who hunt the creatures for sport.
The game is played from a first-person perspective. In the single-player mode, players control one of three characters, each with their own abilities and individual story modes. An online multiplayer mode, which allows players to play as one of four teams in competitive modes, is no longer officially supported and requires a community developed patch to enable multiplayer.
An expansion pack titled Aliens versus Predator 2: Primal Hunt was released in 2002. A "Gold Edition" of Aliens versus Predator 2 followed, combining both the original game and the expansion pack into a single package. There was never an Aliens versus Predator 3 nor any plans for a sequel, but in 2010 Rebellion Developments made a reboot simply titled Aliens vs Predator. - เกม

Im not sure if this game download from that website is safe since it seems to have done some wonky shit on my pc when I tried to mess with some files so I can fix issues I had, like it denying me access and telling me I needed admin privileges.

AvP 2 is still one of very few great multiplayer games with an awesome singleplayer story
@@devilord3271 was a full server an hour ago
I loved AvP2 so much. That was my favorite game back in the day. First game I was good at with online multiplayer. So many memories.
Played this alot in 2009. I wish I could go back in time.
@@wra45 Well click the link above it's legit
AVPUNKNOWN Is Primal Hunt’s multiplayer playable?
Another casualty of Monolith dying.
The good old days where you spawn into a server and realize you are the only human player and rest are all alien players with Alien cycle turned on....
fun fact most of the team who made this game came from daikatana after they quit
that is a fun fact.
Coincidence? I think not.
It may be a fact, but I don't see why it would be a fun one.
@@floatingchimney and your feeling is that other people shouldn't either, eh?
@@Jesse__H No, just saying.
AVP 2 multiplayer was the most fun I've ever had in an FPS in my entire life.
I missed it unfortunately. Didn’t have a PC that could run it back then. Although I will say, as a Mac gamer the good times I had with multiplayer on AvP 1 rank among my favorite gaming memories...
I bought the game a little late, on the second half of the '00s, but still has play some matches. Some of my greatest online gaming stories come from this game
@@teknomax7883 my middle school years were basically AvP2, Unreal Tournament, Diablo 2 and Warcraft 2 and 3. Such a great time
The survival mode where you're a squad vs a bigass queen was really scary fun. I remember the deathmatch being kind of imbalanced as the smartdisk and nade launcher were instagibs and unless you were godlike with tail stuns, most of the alien classes were useless.
Thank you. I feel the same. My friends and I would bring our laptops to a single friends home during the summer hols and we'd play LAN against each other and it was the best .. Feels like the Golden years of my gaming life.
If I recall correctly, the predalien's headbite recovered the same amount of health that the regular alien did in the base game. It's just that the predalien is such a beefy bastard, it doesnt look like he's recovering a lot. Tack on the fact that his claws do way more damage than the regular alien, you don't recover much health when shredding corpses up (I didnt know if you knew this or not, but you can get a little bit of health as the alien if you claw the bodies into chunky paste. Not as good as a headbite though).
I think the developers figured that with the beefy toughness of the predalien, it could deal with the synthetics easily. But what they didn't get was that the predalien was so goddamn powerful, it made getting health back kind of hard to do. if you shred the bodies up faster than you can get health from them.
Also you're not wrong about the level design intended to be confusing as all hell. I never completed the predalien storyline because I could not figure out how to beat the final mission as I didnt know where to go. Hell I nearly gave up during the facehugger mission before I lucked out and found my way to the end of the level.
@@thotslayer9914 it was some years ago yeah, I mostly played through the base game and the multiplayer, which I'm not sure if it's still active anymore.
@@thotslayer9914 the game is still active online
Problem with AvP 2 is that it's abandonware now. There will be no remake until Disney decided to do it since they own both Alien and Predator franchise.
Oh god, I didnt realize disney owned it. Disney-- We buy and ruin franchises from your childhood ;)
@@bkstudio1990 they literally JUST bought out Fox a few months back, they haven't even had the time to do anything with the franchises they got. If you want to blame anyone, blame Fox and Activision.
@Boba Fett I heard it was a lot more parties that owned AvP2, which made it not worth it to go thru the hassle to re-release it
But yea there's already a group of people that have been playing it which is good
@Boba Fett the acquisition took place in March and consolidation of studios and subdivisions has been going on since then. They haven't even had the time to make plans for the properties they acquired yet.
@@PsychoWerekitsune Plus Sega for not wanting to play ball for releasing AvP2, as they own the Alien IP for video games.
Still miss camping the basement on Quarantine in survivor mode.. The rush when you desperately try to make it to safety the first minutes of the game. Happy days.
I remember camping the basement too! And the air ducts in quarantine. Gosh that was paradise. Let’s try and find a way to play together
Bubba Sawyer can relate
"but the damage it does is so low that it is about effective as harsh language" - haha, worse than sharp sticks?
We need another AvP game made by Monolith and the Studio which made Alien Isolation.
Foxnext is making a AAA Aliens FPS.
@@CP-uw4ts Sure? i thougt that this was some kind of a...mobile game?
Are there more info about it? but to be honest, i dont believe in it :/
If it would be made by Monolith and Creative Assembly well then yes :D
Imagine the enhanced quality of AvP 2 from monolith with a 2020 worthy graphic and physics engine compared with the horror and claustrophobic moments of alien isolation o.o
@@shagal2142 no, the one being made by coldiron studios is AAA, however multiplayer will be it's main focus. Basically teaming up cooperatively to go from planet to planet wiping out xenomorph hives.
@@shagal2142 monolith and creative assembly are owned by WB and Sega respectively, and Fox who owns the franchise because Ridley Scott created it through them said they wanna make their own games going forward.
@@CP-uw4ts That already sounds quite boring, just killing xenos in MP.I want a full spectrum AvP expirience with all 3 races with not the same lvl´s recycled/reused for each other.And each of them 13-15 hours long.Sad to hear that they wont cooperate :/
I love the Alien's little melee attack. I just imagine that it's going "BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!" while it's flailing it's arms at people.
Seems a bit undercooked.
You might say it's... raw.
"FUCKING RAWWWW!"

@@audiosurfarchive he has one joke
@@Digitaaliklosetti lolno
I would be so happy to see this in a playable state on gog or steam
"Despite him never talking like that in the base game."
I have one answer for you: every video game character that has the name "dimitri" must have a russian accent because of dimitri patrenko.
So, it’s safe to say that AVP2: Primal Hunt is like Alien: Covenant of the AVP game series.
Primal Hunt is like AVP (the movie) and AVP Requiem of the AVP series. >_> Covenant wasn't even that bad.
@@MasterCrumble covenant was a generic horror film with xenos thrown in
@@REAPER1818666 It also had some great David The Robot scenes, and the last 20 mins were pretty much a remake of Alien (done worse of course). Try rewatching the actual shit in the alien and predator series. I loathe AVP Requiem with passion.
@@MasterCrumble yeah they are terrible
What's sooo bad about covenant??? Yes it wasn't the best alien film that's always the first one but I think it done a smashing job at introducing a new generation to fear the xenos or endomorphs. I felt the pace was spot on and the chest burster scene literally had me screaming in the cinema the med bay ost had ridley Scott written all over it very tense stuff. It had this great sense of dread and had enough information dumps in sensible places to keep it from going stale. If you don't enjoy it for its tensions and horror it's story should have sold you at least because it was soo interesting to me filled in some gaps I've had over the years it's atleast an 8/10 imo and the ost was 10/10 soo much suspense.
I remember this game. It was amazing. Still the best Alien/Prefator game so far. Multiplayer was so much fun. :3
The capcom ones really different but it's still my fav game just for what it is
Prefators and Prefator 2 are my favourite movies
I was born in '92. I got battlefield 1942 for my computer when I was really young from Target. I couldn't get it to run amd I was so upset. My dad took me back to target and his hard ass got a return and helped me pick a new game. Him amd my mom picked this game up because it had the Alien and Predator on it which they recalled the movies. I decided I guess I'll pick it up. When i got it home and played it I absolutely loved it. This was my first contact with these legendary characters. Just though I'd share. I love this game so much.
You criminally understated the multiplayer, especially the improvements made to it in Primal Hunt, such as lowered energy cost for pred cloaking, predaliens getting headbite (they lacked this in the base game), stun only reducing movement speed instead of paralyzing you and arguably the 365 motion tracker for Corps. The new weapons (dual pistol, energy flechette and deployable turrets) were pretty fun too, with the former two actually being viable primaries in MP.
Multiplayer was definitely the lifeblood of this game, as it was for the base game, which is still going I believe. Sadly the source code for PH was never released, so they couldn't mod a new master server when Sierra killed it.
RIP Primal Hunt MP, best Predator game experience to date.
I loved these games. Being able to use all of the same tools as the aliens humans and predators did in the films was and still is extremely rare to find in video games based on movies.
Remaster? AvP2 will never get one due to the whole Monolith and Fox shenanigans. And now even more so due to the rights to both Alien and Predator getting into the hands of DISNEY.
Fucking hell that's sad. Disney owns Alien and Predator. What kind of world is this...
@@Sgt_Glory Monolith and Fox shenanigans? what exaclty does that mean?
@@shagal2142 I'm sure @Commander Bohn can explain better, they're the one that mentioned it.
@ A good thing, but wouldn't that result in a even more horrid creature than the Mouse itself?
Plus Sega owning the rights to the Alien IP for games.
Man, I miss this game. The original AVP2 I mean. Countless hours on multiplayer when the servers were still up. Phenomenal
With all the pointless remakes coming out recently someone really needs to remake the first 2 AVP games. Probably be a licensing nightmare but I'd buy em.
AVP 2010 already feels like a remake. And it felt too much like a console game of the time. Sweet graphics though.
@@MasterCrumble I actually enjoyed the game for what it was, even though it had a lot of flaws. I know generally it is regarded as a mediocre game but I found the campaigns pretty fun, and some of the online modes were decent.
@@lordthruxawe504 Yeeeeeah, it wasn't really doing anything offensive so get your blood boiling, but it could have been so easily fixed with some retouches (or just more work put into it). The same could be said for Colon Marines. :P
@@MasterCrumble AVP was a terrible game, there wasnt much to do. No leveling or customization. Multiplayer was broken af.
What I loved the most about AvP (2010) was the Infestation mode in the Pyramid in a full lobby. That was fun, especially when you were with a group but the walls separated you, shots were fired, then a scream from the Marine character and no longer being able to hear your teammate who was now on the enemy team.
Primal hunt added some good stuff to multiplayer, but that's about all the good things I can say about it.
I love how the predalien has so much potential but in the end it only ends up with two people in crappy rubber suits beating the life out of eachother, a bad expansion pack, or a disappointing boss fight
I remember the day when AvP2 first came out. I had such good fun playing AvP1 and the gaming magazine previews gave AvP2 glorious scores. It was during my lunch hour so I quickly drove to Game (a UK based video game retailer) to buy a copy, then went to McDonalds for my lunch. I was sat in the car reading through the instruction manual eager to finish work and go home to play it. This was also the first time I tasted the sauce in a Big Mac as I usually had it with just cheese. My Matrox Millennium G400 GPU was just powerful enough to run it, though if I was in an outside map as the Predator and switched to any vision mode except normal, my FPS would tank. Despite this, I had a blast playing this game.
I also remember when I showed it off to an old school friend that I’d somehow managed to keep in contact with and let him play the first marine level. I knew what was coming and when he got to the point in the level where a steam pipe burst from the ceiling along with a couple of wires making it look like a xenomorph, I yelled “Watch out”. His face was priceless.
5:52 That was one of the scariest jumpscares ever in a game. Obviously I was a lot younger and you just know that There's aliens and then that pipe falls and it looks like a xeno. First playthrough I jumped up and started shooting. You are spot on about AVP2's pacing. I never played this expansion.
Loved AVP 2 . Never played the expansion so I'm glad there are people like G to save us from such things
Am I the only one who finds the aliens arms flailing around when it attacks hilarious?
I'm surprised AvP2 hasn't been remastered and put on Steam by now. I have all three games on their original discs (AvP, AvP2 and Primal Hunt) and loved them back when they were great (with the exception of PH, of course).
Everybody seems to love playing as the Predator or Marine, but I've always preferred the Alien. He's my favorite of the 3, and scaling walls, sneaking through vents and inner-jaw punching through people's heads is too BADASS!! Alien all the way!!
For some reason this makes me want to replay F.E.A.R. and it's expansion packs.
I have all 3 but I haven't played them yet. Still worth playing today?
@@drumyogi9281 It's been a few years, but the first two and the expansion packs are definitely worth playing. The third one... meh.
I was just playing F.E.A.R. today. So much fun, slo-mo jump kicking people! Make sure you fix DirectInput so it doesn't lag like crazy.
Makes sense since Monolith developed both base games.
I played the original AvP2 game 8 hours a day every day.
I got banned from multiplayer servers because they thought I was a bot because I could hip fire the sniper rifle and headshot every time.
I loved being the alien. 3D space was my home.
I have never played or loved an AvP game as much again. I have never played any FPS as much, period, ever again.
It was singularly, uniquely awesome.
Primal Hunt was...disappointing.
Also I want to thank you for giving me a download link in your comment thing. You're the man! Subbed.
I just happen to have re-watched your Alien vs Predator 2 review some days ago and finished both the original and Primal Hunt yesterday, well at least the "human" campaigns because I couldn't bring myself to play the other campaigns more than 5mins without getting bored (or a headache).
I was really pleased overall with the game (especially when you recognize that "NoOneLivesForever" style) and I would argue 90% of the fun came from the quite impressive arsenal which is given to you : a Pulse Rifle that FEELS just right, a Grenade Launcher with multiple rounds types, a SmartGun that will save you more than once...
I just kinda felt like the game was totally unbalanced : considering waves of ennemies constantly rush at you, the best answer is usually the Flame Thrower or the SmartGun (no need to aim at each target individually) while the Pulse Rifle remains your primary thanks to the abundance of ammunition...oh and the mini-gun against armored aliens.
Which means you'll pretty much never use the Rocket Launcher, neither the Sniper Rifle (unpractical and given WAY too late). You could even argue the Shotgun isn't that great since it's almost impossible to avoid taking damage when fighting at close range and even the Grenade Launcher is hard to make good use of considering that when you hear aliens, it's already to late to start firing grenades at them (exept with you wish to hurt yourself in the process). My guess is that these weapons where a lot of fun to play with in Multiplayer, which, sadly, I couldn't try.
I remember play AvP Extinction that was fun too
I never got to play alien extinction but from the videos i saw it looks so fun to play too bad i din't get to play it ;-;
small correction Gman, the alien you evolve into in the base AVP2 alien campaign is a warrior, not a drone. The Xeno from the 1979 film is considered a drone.
In the game those are called Drones. Even in multiplayer. Yes while the head design is clearly a Warrior this still call it a drone.
To be honest, I enjoyed this expansion pack for what it was.
I was so much of a fan of AVP2 that just having an expansion pack was a nice bonus.
And I liked the characters (Dunya, etc).
Loved this expansion pack. Always wanted to play as Predalien and prefer it over the regular Alien. Had the game all in French though, so it was a bit difficult to understand everything.
The 360 / ps3 AvP game is underrated - it had the best Predator and Alien campaigns of the series
One of my favorite quotes from multiplayer gaming came from a guy in AvP2.
"lol praetorian"
For context I had just joined the server and picked the alien praetorian as my class.
For more context I proceeded to turn into a one bug wrecking crew, destroying both enemy teams.
lol praetorian indeed.
(For those of you who played the game and want an argument as to why anyone would pick the one alien without wall climbing or leap, when you actually break down what the the praetorian has it becomes an obvious engine of destruction in closed spaces. While lacking leap it runs faster than a drone, has the melee damage of the queen, and has enough hp and armor to tank through any small arms fire. The only things I found that could stop me were miniguns and sniper rifles, everything else was effectively food if you kept out of wide open spaces which was easy if you knew the maps.)
Respect to people who could pull off praetorians. Bunny hopping runners on the other hand can still eat dicks, to this day.
CrutchCricket They’re easily disposable when you’re a Predator though.
@@necromancy5032 A back pedaling pred with a plasma caster was definitely one of the things that could reliably bring down a praetorian. The secret to dealing with them is to run away, if they chase you into an air duct then they earned the charged tail whip that's come'n to 'em.
avp2 + expansion needs a gog release soooo bad
Spent many hours stalking marines in this, I was a strange kid 😂
@Ian Robertson You seriously called them yautja? Lol bruh
@Ian Robertson Y I K E S @ you
Just ordered the original AvP2 cd rom to play on my windows 98 pc, can't wait! Schwack!!!
this is what so many games are missing today that lore deep detail, gameplay that reflects your favorite cinima/book. Starfield recently was described as -It's a mile wide and an inch deep . I miss that era of good gaming and I read everywhere people also miss it. This game along with/multiplayer, 2010 AVP was amazing, however this one wins in that dark 90s fps shooter, I remember sweating even as a predator cause it was so damn scary haha wait im the monster
I agree, we do need a remaster of AvP2 asap. Im still kinda shocked that after 20 years all we got is AvP 2010 and Colonial Marines...
Evac Alley(even tho it was a community map) was hands down the greatest multiplayer experience that ever existed.
The only thing I love more than good graphics
Is old graphics except the lighting is phenomenal and it runs as smooth as butter
4:36 Looks like that alien is trying to go back into the goddamn wall.
Primal Hunt was my jam back in the day. Then again, AvP 2010 is also "back in the day". God I feel old.
AVP2 was dope when it came out, we use to play it all the time in 7 v 1 matches (one predator vs 7 alien\marines or mix like 2-3/4-5) There was one really cool mutliplayer mode, in first game I think, where you play as marines and wait for reinforcement and you get attacked by bunch of AI aliens, Starship Trooper style.
I LOVED AvP 2 the original. I remember jumping at everything in the first level of the marine campaign and when that pipe breaks through the ceiling I yelped and put a burst of pulse rifle rounds into it. I gotta fire this up again.
Man I was obsessed with avp2. I had wildhunt but never played campaign. Couldn't pull myself away from multiplayer.
AvP2 was one of my favourite games back in the day. Its great! The multiplayer was amazing also.
AvP:2 is still one of the best games ever for me, multiplayer and all, this add on was erased from my memory as soon as i finshed it after 1 hour...
13:24 I love the alien heads flying off in this game. My only gripe is that I can't kick them around.
I remember when playing the AvP2 multiplayer about a year ago or so I was on the Predator team and it was a full lobby. I was a light Predator while 3 of my other teammates were Assault, Normal, and heavy. We were all on the ground taking out the aliens and marines that were surrounding us. We had each other’s back so well, we became untouchable for the entire match. It was a truly badass moment, even nostalgic. I would love to play the multiplayer again sometime soon when I fix my laptop.
Did somebody say remake
*takes out AvP for the Xbox 360*
Would like to see his take on it 😁
@@OverlordZephyros He recorded one five years ago: th-cam.com/video/y7c3U2cKFUE/w-d-xo.html
So much fun online with AvP2 and Multiplayer back in the days, in a cybercafé with friends, was the beat thing ever.
AVP2 needs to be on GOG
"...a couple of assholes doing the dirty work..."
Yup that's what assholes are for...at least mine is.
When this came out in Germany, one of the bigest PC review magazines quotet it as "das Abzock Add On", which means "the rip-off Add On".
They were especially angry about the value for money you got out of it. About 4-5 hours for 20 Euros. They didn´t go like "hmm...jaaah, bad game, extremely short, big publisher/dev, lets give it 60/100. No, they rated this as scam, and gave it an extreme low rating (can´t remember how bad it was).
What a good time back than, were even the print media destroyed your game, when you try to scam gamers...long gone...
Nowadays IGN would rate it 7/10 and say "there's a little something for everyone"
the first avp fps game won game of the year in gamespot. its sad fox was bought though because this was a big earner for them. the game saved the whole series so its gonna be coming back soon enough.
some of you never played it dont even know bro, its a BEAST ass game. like if this shit came out for phones..the first one, and had multiplayer even for 50 dollars i would buy it. gamestop said it was the scariest game ever made.
its so scary you just get tired of being scared after like 3 mins and dont give a damn anymore.
I miss the AVP2 multiplayer so much.
Just an FYI about the mouse problem, I bought an old PS/2 optical one off eBay that eliminates the zigzagging completely as far as I can tell. Now you can download the server patch and have no excuses to not play online
We need a remaster of AVP 2
I would agree that AVP2 is the best in terms of story. But I didn't like that the Aliens spawned at the same spots most of the time. Other than in AVP from 1999 where they appeared mostly at random.
Also to spam more comments.. but I feelt one thing that shines is how all the 3 campaignes in both Classic and Primal hunt.. Are side by side.. As you meet eachother character.. Reason why The Primal hunt predator Is a prequal is cause the Facehugger that takes him is the one you play as in the predalien campaigne.. You burst out of your own self more or less.. ^^
I loved the Predator campaign, the plasma caster was given the weight it deserves as a weapon, something super rare in the predator games I've played since.
A remaster would be amazing to play. Completely agree.
Wait. Only one sentry? I distinctly recall getting a total of three at the time...
That aside, yea. It really wasn't up to par with the core game. It did have some neat ideas, like being able to use and place your own Sentries (even if they overheat).
I'm glad I'm not the only one who pissed off their friends about AvP2
Foxnext is making a AAA Aliens FPS with a studio in the bay formed of irrational and Obsidian vets. Since it's in the bay I think hiring Glen Schofield from visceral games would be a smart move.
I saved a crapload of files for AVP2. I picked up a redone dell computer with XP for 58 bucks on Ebay. Its just for the game. I got it loaded. Ive got many mods and maps and a ton of single maps. Ive been getting them all loaded. I got my mod manager running as well. My id here is 9thcmd our old AVP2 clan. Our Multimod and multipak work. Ive got the Pilot mod, Redmod3, Armageddon mod, Star Wars mod, Projam, Utter Chaos and more. Xenocommand single player was always a blast. I got my crab cracker mod for the pred dart gun running today. I forgot its like a dart machine gun. I play mostly hand to hand against alien AI as a pred. I never was big on campaigns. Ive got hundreds of maps. I tried saving all I could back in the day. Im not doing any update stuff except i had the 109.6 saved too. Its going to stay as is now that its going. Im not putting any patches in. Running in its original glory.
Based
In the gameplay of the background i see good FPS skills, use of space, prediction of enemy attack patterns and good knowledge of the weapons behavior, after long time playing a lot of FPS games one start to notice and learn these things wich is also a design and mechanics lesson.
Had no problems launching this game...what are you talking about? Couple of patches and done!
People are still playing AvP 2 multiplayer...and it is still lots of fun!
Is there a place where uou can download avp2?
@@Hexen_Jager just google for AvP2 online...they'll have the client, manual and patches
Thank you gman for this, just set up AvP2 and played few rounds... it felt like nothing compared today ;-)
AvP1 scares me till today, AvP2 was a cake walk compared to it :-)
Avp2 was the best Monolith always makes the best movie licensed games
O man, I remember the Alien campaign. An alarm went off, everything was red, and the base kept shaking... motion sickness to say the least.
This doesn't just make me miss Alien vs Predator game, but licensed games in general. I am sceptic but looking forward to the new Terminator for that single reason, thx for video Gman!
This game was downright amazing, and took up a good amount of time when I was at college. It even somehow managed to hook in two of my roommates after they watched me play it for a bit.
Of course, none of us played the single player stories.. but we all jumped on a server with other people and had a good time of it for hours. We even got the expansion, but we only got it for what it added to the multiplayer.. which was.. I forget what.
I sucked with anything but the marine though.. or the mercenaries, I guess...... the two human groups.
Loved the minigun and the fact you could walk around with the barrels pre-spun.. didn't care if it was noisy. Loved the rocket launcher. Loved prox mines for the grenade launcher. Loved the shotgun when using slugs.. screw buckshot. However, I remember thinking it was kinda cheap that the mercs had a 360 radar while the marines were stuck with 180.
Regardless.. good memories, man.
marines have 180 but 20 meters of radar, corporative have 360° but only 10 meters
I remember back in HS I installed AVP1 and Q3A on quite a few of my school computers just so me and a few of my buddies would jump on them during lunch and go against one another. It was fantastic.
Dang, your gameplay footage looks so sharp.
AVP 2000 is definitely "playable" but the default 120fps cap is way too high. Everyone moves around like they're on amphetamines and often times you can accidentally push enemies 30 feet when just trying to melee them.
I played the base game god knows how many hours and had totally forgotten about the expansion. thanks for the memories even though they weren't so good.
Primal hunt tho offered some of the best Multiplayer.. It gave more skins.. More options in terms of Modes.. I mean you could play a Life cycle process where a player spawned as a Facehugger.. Attacked a human or a predator and became A Snake.. Then a Predalien or a Drone.. And if you became a Drone you could Evolve in to a Pratorian.. Then In to a queen.. And holy fucking hell you would destroy people then..
Also I Agree that primal hunt had a worse campaigne. .holy hell I hated the First Alien mission where you had to sneak away from Aimbot predators.. But I feel the Predator campaigne was very fun in Primal hunt..
You should play some story mods of this game and review them! AVP2 is crazy good
Can you review Alien Resurrection for Ps1? That was one of the best, most scary Alien games ever!
The primal hunt campaigns were bad yeah, but as a whole it improved the multiplayer side of things quite well back in the day :'o
Art/Weapon Style and character design are reminiscent of "The Thing" video game.
This game is looooong overdue for an HD remaster and Steam release with multiplayer
I've find out about your channel about 2 weeks ago and I'm watching all your videos like crazy. Even though I don't necessarly agree with all of your opinions, I respect them a lot, because you try to be authentic and off the hype. I have a request, though: where the fuck is Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 review? Such a classic FPS deserves your analysis.
8:40 "What are we supposed to use. harsh language?"
Nice way to end the vid with that classic line
I've actually got both AVP 2 and Primal Hunt installed off the discs, it works just fine on Windows 10. Only drawback is on the cinematics long dialogue always cut in half, so I use the subtitles. I didn't have to make any adjustments to the game at all.
My brother and I love AVP2.
Anyone remember playing the multiplayer in the demo of the first AVP? Was total chaos and fun.
I agree with both comments that (a) this was one of the best games ever made and (b) that the expansion sucks. I would also add that there was a bunch of EXCELLENT community-made content (extra maps and such) that was better than any other community content at the time. Please do a remake !
i wish i could go back in time and revel in the multiplayer of this series again
The marine campaigns in all three are my favourite. If only sega worked out how to make something as good with the colonial marines game
The main thing that ruin colonial marines was a single misspelling in the AI code for the xenomorphs
@@JackTheDeergal yeah i remember seeing something about that. I do enjoy it but yeah now that i know about the misspelling that explains why it wasn't as good as it should have been
They need to get AVP2 on GOG
Holding out for that Fireteam review.
Please review AVP Extinction it's one of my favorite game of all time
Still recall the lengths people went to in order to provide a quality first-person Aliens experience (so I'm automatically not referring to the nefarious Dr Pitchford here)before better, more official examples came along.
I'm talking, of course, about the Aliens wads for Doom, which I have to say lit me up when I first saw a pulse rifle and H A D to know, regardless of the sprite work, I had to fire off a burst and just see how committed these guys really were...
Nothing hits my nostarogeneous centres like the report from an M41a 🤤
Even fully aware of the limitations AND the amount of work it would take to then present something halfway decent, it still ranks for me as no small achievement.
