Aliens versus Predator 2 is a popular PC game which is almost as old as the average person who plays it. The game was forged by Sierra in the depths of Mount Doom. Realised upon middle Earth (USA) in 2001, and then the rest of the world (Non-USA), the game was rumoured to make whoever played it totally invisible. Despite being total bullshit, there was some truth to this rumour. Mainly the fact that people grew addicted to it, thus their social lives disappeared; rendering them invisible to society. Furthermore in the world of the internet, players often become invisible in the online gaming servers due to the serious lag.
The game was notoriously famous for its use of stereotypical characters, including the alcoholic Russian 'Iron Bears' and the German drug addict Eisenberg, who is German.
Major Characters[edit]
- Andrew 'Frosty' Harrison -
Frosty is the main character, little is known about him aside from the fact that his parents didn't like him hence his middle name.
- Doctor Haribo Eisenberg (German) -
Doctor Eisenberg is the head researcher in charge of the LV_1337 facility. He experiments with recreational drugs, and was the only survivor of a doomed expedition in which, whilst under the influence of some strong hallucinogenic he chewed off part of a scientists arm, whilst re-enacting an Ozzy Osbourne scene. Despite being a scientist, he is quite idiotic. Eisenberg continues to experiment with hallucinogenics and as a result he often witnesses visions of strange alien creatures performing The Safety Dance. He, as a scientist, has a deep fear of these dancing aliens. Eisenberg usually mumbles some pointless Trek-style scientific mumbo-jumbo, which makes him very unpopular with the cool people.
- General Vasilly Rykov -
General Rykov is the head of the Iron Bears, a gang of wealthy Russian alcoholics who masquerade as mercenaries. Several years prior to the events of the game, Rykov had to endure an operation to have his kidney replaced with a synthetic one. The operation was not a total success due to the Russian NHS and as a result he suffers extreme pain, unless he is completely wasted. Rykov has become obsessed with wiping out the Predator race as a Predator Prince destroyed his quart-glass in their last encounter. He has a strong Russian accent, and not many people understand him. Not many people want to, either.
- Major McCain -
Major McCain is an American. 'Nuff said.
- Dunya -
Shes hawt. That's it.
Multiplayer[edit]
The AVP2 Multiplayer community is divided by a class system. The poor and unintelligent players often frequent the Death Match, and Team Death Match servers, as the other game modes are far to complex for them to grasp. On the other hand the extremely wealthy and posh players are found in the Evac server, where they place bets on who will live and drink large quantities of Brandy.
Ever since Kirk was forced to fight the Gorn in Star Trek, people have often wondered if they too will have the chance to fight against an unconvincing alien threat. However the game was created far too accurately, and the fighting was very unconvincing. There are six online modes:
Death Match[edit]
(Stupid People Only)
A game mode which involves everyone killing everyone in a mass-orgy of death. It is rumoured this game mode gives Jack Thompson severe migrains. It is played mainly by noobs and the techniques required to achieve a high score involve spawn-killing, spawn-rushing and spawn-camping. If a player shits he/she wins the match without using these techniques, the other players will firmly believe the winner is a hacker.
Team Death Match[edit]
In this game mode, people are divided into teams by their species so they frag the fuck out of each other. Despite the fact that it is called Team Deathmatch - team work is rarely used, apart from mass-spawn camping. Most of the servers run via Rommie's Adolf Mod which is a giant turd in the server-side-modification universe. The mod often allows players to have all the weapons they want - destroying the balance, and automatically boots people for lagging out. However no one of the players have noticed this as they are too busy being spawn killed.
Hunt[edit]
No one plays this mode.
Survivor[edit]
Survival is the key. The survivor race must survive against the the attack race before time runs out. Whichever player survives for the longest wins. When a survivor race player dies he mutates into an attacker, and then must attack the the survivers, however - very often - the recently mutated player will team kill the shit out of his allies, avenging his own death.
This game mode is often played with marines as survivors and aliens as attackers. A popular technique in this game mode, involves 15 smartgun wielding marines camping in a tiny room. Because the alien cannot possibly survive, all of the marines win; therefore no one wins. This continues for hours, sometimes days. Despite the fact that there is a wide selection of maps available for survivor mode, some servers only run on one map. This game mode is sometimes referred to as 'Watching Paint Dry Mode'.
Overrun[edit]
Overrun was exactly the same as survivor, except when a survivor died he didn't mutate, he just say in freefly and sulked. The game mode was bastardized by Counter Strike players in 2005 and turned into Marine vs. Corporate battles. The fact that players would cast aside the alien and predator species and rather kill other humans speaks volumes about these sick people. These players enjoy abusing glitches in the game to gain the upper hand, one popular glitch - known as stagger - increases the firepower of the pulse rifle by repeatedly tapping the mouse, this glitch is identifiable by the horrific noise the weapon makes when fired. Many of the stagger players have since died from RSI and ear cancer complications.
Evac[edit]
Evac is the best game mode, because the least amount of people play it. The evacuating species (often 'marines' or 'corporates) must reach the evac zone and remain there for 10 seconds to successfully win a point. The attacker race (often 'aliens' or 'predators') must prevent them from reaching the evac zone. This game mode is unique as it requires team work, though you may blink and miss these astounding moments. Evac requires more team communication than other game modes, and occasionally players will talk to each other without screaming insults like 'fuck you n00b twat'. Despite being the best game mode, it had only a few levels, luckily some nerds created more maps for the community to play. God bless them.
Cheating (often called 'Hacking') is common in AVP2, especially in Team Death Match, where people can do as they please. Without the posh overlords that section of the community has descended into chaos.
Example of typical AVP2 player dialogue:
<< General Pain >> u hack dude, seriously
<< General Pain >> dont fucking use smartgun
<< DooDoo Monster >> smartgun
<< General Pain >> thats cheap
<< DooDoo Monster >> retard
<< General Pain >> fuck you
<< DooDoo Monster >> be faster
<< General Pain >> i cant u fucking retarded fucktard
<< DooDoo Monster >> change classes
<< General Pain >> no
<< DooDoo Monster >> or ambush us
<< General Pain >> ...
<< General Pain >> fuck it
U.S.C.M Characters by guest speaker Major Pwnage[edit]
Alright noobs, listen up. I'm about to provide - in exceptional detail - vital information regarding the United States Colonial Marine character classes in AVP2. If you feel you do not need to know this: FUCK OFF - I don't want your putrid noob-ego clouding my awesomeness. Let us begin:
| Smartgun | |
|---|---|
| |
| Ammo Capacity | 700 Rounds |
| Secondary Fire | Toggles Aimbot |
- Andrew Harrison
Harrison is the best character - I use this one myself. His primary weapon, the Smartgun, comes with an aimbot already installed for killing invisible or fast enemies. I have pwned many enemies with this gun, hence my name. Repeatedly jump up and down whilst firing the gun and move backwards for supreme pwnage. Also remember to repeatedly tap the fire button - this serves no purpose but pisses everyone else off.
The smartgun consumes ammo like an emo consumes crap music, make sure you always replenish your supply of ammunition, even if that means taking out a team mate. Do not allow yourself to run out of ammo, otherwise you'll have to use the shotgun and you will have to aim.
| Sniper Rifle | |
|---|---|
| |
| Ammo Capacity | 10 Rounds |
| Secondary Fire | Rapid Fire H4x |
- Bob Ichiro
Ichiro is PRO ONLY. His name is stupid, no doubt about that, but he has the Sniper Rifle (AKA 'Noob Cannon'). This weapon comes with 10 uranium charged super-bullets. Just one of these bullets could destroy the Earth, The Universe, or even 50 Cent. No sir, that fucker wouldn't survive 9 of these babies, and if he did, we'd have 1 more bullet to finish him off with! PWNED. Either that or he has some 1337 hax made by a 4 year old.
Ichiro also has the Grenade Launcher. This weapon can fire timed grenades, proximity detonated grenades, spider mines and EMP (Electro-Magnetic-Pwnage) grenades. Use EMP on an alien and then stab him to death with the knife for maximum pwn.
| Pulse Rifle | |
|---|---|
| |
| Magazine Capacity | 99 Rounds |
| Secondary Fire | Grenade Spam |
- Madam Johnson
Johnson is a female, thus the weakest player on the field. In the Single Player she had a strong British accent, this was removed for multiplayer because it was so fucking annoying. Though, when she sustains damage she appears to suffer an orgasm. Johnson is also ginger. Despite the fact that she is a woman, she is allowed to fly the dropship in Single Player, which she crashed, and promptly blamed the weather.
Johnson has the Pulse Rifle and the Flamethrower. When 'friendly fire' is off, use the flamethrower on your allies to set them on fire to help them achieve Super Sayian Mode. The Pulse Rifle's stagger mode is often used by noobs to defeat superior enemies, though for some reason they never spam the grenade launcher?! IDIOTS!!
| Rocket Launcher | |
|---|---|
| |
| Magazine Capacity | 3 Rounds |
| Secondary Fire | Toggles Aimbot |
- Tyrone D. Jones
Like all black soldiers, Jones has the biggest weapon - the rocket launcher. This weapon also has an aimbot and is good for blowing shit up. Jones is also a solo rap artist (under the pseudonym of 50 Space Credits). When under attack from an alien, aim your rocket launcher directly beneath you and fire - this will destroy you and the enemy. Jones also has the shotgun.
Use the knife and pistol to gain maximum gangsta' respect. Often in AVP2 if you challange someone to a knife fight they are bound by street law to accept. Defeat them to gain street credit.
Awards[edit]
The game has received several awards since being released:
- Worst Netcode (2001)
- Worst Community (2001 - 2007)
- Easiest game to hack (2001, 2002)
- The German Ban-Seal of Approval (2006)
- Biggest Player-Hacker Ratio [3:17] (2008)

Other Games[edit]
Aliens vs. Predator II - Primal Hunt[edit]
Aliens Versus Predator 2 was a big hit when it was released in the Fall of 2001. So what would be better than to release a follow-up to one of the biggest games to hit the store? Primal Hunt is actually a prequel to Aliens Versus Predator II, giving you nine new missions to play through with Dunya, the Predalien, and the Predator. The Predator campaign (which, is probably the most significant in the game) takes place 500 years prior to the events in Aliens Versus Predator II. The Alien and Corporate campaign also take place before AvP2, and will explain the nature of the storyline that starts you off in Aliens Versus Predator II.
Gameplay[edit]
The Corporate campaign starts off with Dunya and Dimitri talking amongst themselves about, well, more personal things, like fucking. See there were on a break, or at least Dimitri thinks so. They're interrupted by the General who informs them about the "Artifact" which is infact his 12 incher and he then sticks it in Dunyas eye. Aliens swarm Dunya and the other two corporates like no tomorrow, and this is when the sentry gun kicks into action. Deploy that bad-boy and watch it take names. This leaves Dunya, now an army of one to search for the "Artifact", the general is now playing hard to get.
The Predator campaign starts you off 500 years prior to AvP2 which is total bullshit The predator starts off by landing on LV-1201 in search of hunting prey, snore. Eventually, further into the campaign, the predator learns of the "artifact" and some tea boy wrote the script to encorperate allt he species into one story. The predator will encounter the new species, such as the mutated bull and some other lame shit that no one else cares about.
The Predalien campaign starts off exactly like the alien campaign did in Aliens Versus Predator II. As a facehugger, you must find a suitable host to lay your egg and evolve into a chestburster And what would be more suitable than a predator? While playing the face hugger, your main job is to steer clear of all the predators roaming the halls of a facility on LV-1201 and let the bigger, fiercer drones handle them. Eventually, you'll get laid abe begin your life as a discusting fat lagshield that is the PA. Now you're hungry so your objective until the credits is basically to chow down.
Multiplayer[edit]
The multi-player feature in Aliens Versus Predator II: Primal Hunt is very similar to AvP2, however some things have been added and changed. It got even more totally fucking awful. Infact even less people play this pile of shit, if you bought it you got conned ... TO THE MAX. Hardcore.
Besides that a lot of server options have become available too which spawned such awful mods in the standard game such as the option of filtering out certain weapons. Four new multi-player maps have also been added for your enjoyment, but nobody cares because the map design was done by an asthmatic who had just run the marathon in 2 hours.
Movie Adaptation[edit]
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem[edit]
Also known as AVP-R, AVP-Ridiculous, or AVP-RUN-AWAY-FROM-THIS-SHIT!!
The result of Fox producing a movie directed by visual effects artists and written by Shane Salerno. Shane, suffering from writers block, writers failure and writers cancer decided to set the movie in present day Canada despite the fact that the alien life form was first discovered hundreds of years in the future, on a completely different planet. Shane did not notice this glorious error and pressed forward. Microsoft Paperclip did notice the error but Shane set him to 'ignore' . Shane also added in the 'new' Pred-alien character which can impregnate people by french-kissing them. The film is notorious for its unintentional comedy. Shane eventually got fed up of his script, and ended it abruptly with a nuclear explosion.
None of the characters from the video game appeared and were replaced by bullies, useless police officers, drug addicts, ex-convicts and stupid poeple - a dead give away that this movie was set in Canada. Alien fans were disgusted with the movie as the Aliens got pwned by the Predator. On the other hand, Predator fans frequently masturbate over the 1337 Predator character.
The directors added in horrific scenes to offend people, such as a pregnant woman being impregnated by an alien, and then multiple aliens bursting out of her body. Several nerds on IMDB found this scene erotic. Later, the director stated this is their favourite scene because they get off on sick shit like this. They refused to comment on the deleted Aliens/Predator love scene(s).
During post-production the Directors realised the special effects looked terrible and purposely made the film as dark as possible, hoping the audience wouldn't notice. They also added in all the sound effects from the old movies to make it sound cool. The film score was lovingly ripped off from the previous movies, supposedly to make fans feel nostalgic. Instead, it just made them remember how brilliant the old films were and, at the same time, how shit this movie was.
Release
Upon release, the movie was often credited as being directed by Ed Wood, and was billed as the sequel to Plan 9 From Outer Space. The movie grossed $2 at the box office, and was released on DVD only 2 weeks after the premiere. Two editions of the film were released, the 'awful edition' and the 'fucking awful extended edition' which increased the length of the movie by 95 seconds. The alien/predator sex scene was not included. The movie has 5.0/10 on IMDB and 14% on Rotten Tomatoes, this means it fails. The film is one of many used in Guantanamo Bay Amusement Park to torture terrorists. The movie was nominated for 2 Razzie awards, but was so awful it didn't even win a razzie.
Movie Quotes:
Kelly O'Brien: I think the Colonel was lying.
Darcy Benson: That's crazy. The government doesn't lie to people.
Dallas: Okay, no matter what happens, protect Kelly.
Drew: Fuck this Titanic bullshit, no Women and children first!
Dallas: Unless you can fly the helicopter, shut the fuck up.
