@@zeroichi532 Oh yeah this was a good way to continue the trilogy. This game did a great job of bringing back all the old school features from the original released a decade before this one.

She is also suggested to be the Xenomorph with the biggest body count in the collective AvP universe. What with how many humans she dropped, androids, 2 Predators and an Elite Predator as well.

[@alphastronghold715]

Something to know about the alien campaign: despite the cutscenes showing her as still a regular xenomorph (as they were pre-rendered later after the gameplay was finished and the idea scrapped), Six was actually a praetorian during the fight with the predators. If you take a close look at the character model from reflected shadows and what you can see of her arms in first person, there are small changes which occur throughout the game; including a larger crest and the bulkier arms of a praetorian guard. The sub objective of collecting the Royal jelly canisters was supposed to allude to her metamorphosis into the eventual queen (which was why she was a praetorian while in the chrysalis). However, the idea was scrapped towards the end of production and instead she was just stuck as a regular warrior for the entire game.

[@Pikachu790]

6 actually does turn into a praetorian if you do well enough during the campaign! (Either that or it’s a bug.). You can notice this if you watch the tail; regular Xeno tails are all more knife-like whilst Praetorians have much bulkier tails.

[@AZ-ok7xk]

The guy at 15:43 can be lured with the hissing to get him away from the grenade. That way you can harvest him. You can also light attack from the ceiling to knock him down and harvest him.

[@SoullessAIMusic]

well you can go back and play the two games that came before it. This was, although not listed as; the third installment of a trilogy of games. The first to release was my first PC game, Alien VS Predator 2000. All those cool little atmospheric features like popping flares or going blind when you shoot your gun with night vision on. Those were from the OG game, which made me enjoy this one even more. Seriously would love to see a 4th installment, I just hope they could keep the modern day out of the future. One thing I wish they brought back was live action cutscenes. You would go up to a monitor in the OG game and a live action video would play, usually of a Marine telling you where to go. I can still hear his voice in my head telling me i was very useful before abandoning me to fight off an alien horde by myself...Fucking Prick.

Ya know what would be rad as fuck: An Alien game in the same vein as "Maneater". You start as a chestburster and steadily grow into a full fledged Xenomorph with the option to evolve into a Praetorian and/or a Queen. It could even have some DLC in the form of predators showing up and giving you the option to be a Predalien. They could easily explain the deviations from traditional Xenomorph growth and evolution by saying it was modified while still in the facehugger to better examine and understand Xenomorph life cycles. Lastly, *IT HAS TO BE 3RD PERSON!* As cool as the 1st person camera is, it would be tremendously easier to control a wall crawling monster in 3rd. It also gives the excuse to let you customize the look of *YOUR* own personal Xenomorph with fun and cool cosmetics you get from playing the game and giving you a reason for multiple playthroughs. It also should go without saying but *NO MICRO-TRANSACTIONS!*

[@Poland_Final_Boss]

For everyone that wants those type of games, there are 2 cool Alien games on Roblox, one being called "Alien survival tribute" and another one is "Alien prototype" Both are cool in their own way, Alien survival tribute has lower graphics and worse models but it has a bigger map with a self destructable space station and a planet and more accurate Xeno's in terms of strenght and more human sub-roles, such as scientist, test subject, colonies or Space Marines, in both of the games you can play as Predator, Alien and humans. While the other one has better models and graphics and a whole Xenomorph life cycle, with not only going from a Facehugger to a Drone, but also having life stages such as Warrior, Praetorian and Queen or a spitter if you get a dog host. There will be also sub-species, as there are already Red Aliens. Overall, i think you should check out those games.

[@BABABABABANCHAN]

a game similar to this one i loved (although in 2D), is carrion basically it's a metroid-vanilla where you play as a huge mass of writhing flesh that crawls though vents and eat humans to get bigger, the power-ups you get are AWESOME (especially the possession one)

Played all the AvP games mostly because of the Alien campaigns. I wish we could get a dedicated Xenomorph game, a cool reverse horror game where the marines freak out as they go missing, and have stuff like them trying and track the xeno on the motion tracker, only to realize it shows a dot right behind them. Reverse horror just doesn't have enough monster entries, and that's like, one of the funnest concepts to me.

[@sharks4fun40]

1:40 unironic icy is correct here.because “specimen six” is what’s known as a praetorian or however it’s spelled I forgot which are elite defenders of the hive and the queen. 21:47 again icy is correct here,when the queen of the hive dies the strongest praetorian undergoes a transformation to take her place should the praetorian fail to become a queen it will evolve into a carrier which carry’s face huggers on its back.however should it be successful then indeed it would become the new queen.

[@TheBlueKio]

This is false. Praetorians are much larger and have a much more developed crest, and prefer to fight head on due to their bulk. 6 is just an especially cunning warrior. Her form at the end cutscene just before moulting is definitely a praetorian though.

[@crimsondragon1259]

@@sharks4fun40 Yeah, what the other said, although warriers can mould into diffrent versions, and six was supoosed to be one in the last mission.

[@Skynet5885]

A Xenomorph game with Arkham Knight stealth mechanics would be pretty cool. Imagine the marines freaking out as they all go missing. Or them turning on a motion tracker while you're behind them and they react to it. Could have a system where you can swap out xenos, so you can play as a runner/drone/warrior/praetorian/spitter. Would probably be top tier. As a side note if anyone's looking for more games where you can play as the monster, I know Carrion is one, not sure about others though, not ones that deliver that specific feel, there are games like Heroes Of Might And Magic and Age Of Wonders where you can play the dark/eldrich factions, but it's not the feel people might be looking for with a game where you play the monster. That and probably Jaws Unleashed/Man Eater where you play as a shark, even though that's not really a monster, "animal that hunts people" follows the formula closely enough.

Its cool and all fighting creatures that otherwise could kill us easily, but to be able to play as the creature fighting what would be us, is a different experience entirely, as you play, you get into the feeling, of being the monster that you feared originally, and move as if it were second nature, and not even be disoriented as terribly, sometimes not even at all, as you've jumped into the game and became one with the creature. Its just such a cool thing to be able to do, as its unfortunately not as often of a feature in games as it could be.

you may be talking about avp2 cause this game is basically avp3. alot of people love avp2 and avp3 is a weaker version of it from what i heard. even reuses maps. but i still love this game. just wish the campaigns were longer. predator and alien campaign were extremely short. alien ESPECIALLY.

[@alexanderl9721]

It was a pretty fun game but Alien vs Predator 2 ftom 2002 still remains my favourite. The opening sequence in the Alien campaign where you get to play as a facehugger is something I will never forget.

[@SteelTheRobot]

Any game where you play as a thoroughly inhuman monster or any quadrupedal animal is always one of my favorites.

[@RubyBloodRoseGaming]

Hell Yessssss!! This was one of my favourites when I was a kid! Playing as an actual marine after playing the other modes though.. A lil bit spooky

[@TungstenLotus]

nice to see this game finally get some love

[@GoddessDusk]

I got this game when it first came out. Honestly never played anything but the alien campaign! Loved playing as a Xeno!

[@icicleus]

I miss this game so much, I wish they made a current gen version, I used to play this a ton and did all the campaigns on the hardest difficulty and a ton of multiplayer

[@gorillazsan]

I wish this was done more. Just a genre of games where you are the predatory apex creature and you play vicariously through being this monster wrecking shit up. A few sim games let you be an animal, but that's not the same experience. I'm talking about games like Maneater, where you start as a baby shark but grow to dominate even a Leviathan with how powerful you get. That's the best. Then afterward you can chill around the world and dick with swimmers for the lols.

I heard someone is making a survival base-type game where you, much like the ancient AVP Extinction, control a Xenomorph hive, and when you send out Xenomorph Drones to do things like gather hosts and such it plays in first person, but in the hive its omnipresent third person... if so, well it should be good

[@UnclePengy]

I remember playing AvP2 (2001). It was a lot like this. Going to have to check this one out.

[@colbycoolby1592]

I always play AVP2 for the art, atmosphere and a couple of other things but AVP '10 is always a good action romp. It just takes the second games Xeno movement and refines it to a amazing degree! Hope we get to see the marine campaign!

[@Conta_Minated]

BTW in 1999 there was a game that allowed you to play as a xenomorph. It was absolutely wild in all the ways you described. The graphics have gotten better, but not much else has changed.

[@feyrethsolair7127]

I genuinely wish more developers would make games like this where we're the monster. It's such an untapped market and I know a lot of people who would also love it.

[@Caragoner]

Honestly play the predator campaign too! Its a nice blend between marine and xenomorph while still feeling like a badass killing machine. Also definitely play the multiplayer with your buddies. Fun as hell!

[@deadpancake8263]

you should play carrion its kinda like this where its a reverse horror game where you are the monster

[@Dio_Brand0.]

I remember playing this on my original fat ps3, must have played through all campaigns like 20 times, I loved the predator campaign the most tho, sparked my love for stealth
