Aliens VS Predator 2 is a video game developed by Sierra which was released through Fox Interactive in 2001. The game is a sequel to Aliens vs. Predator which is based off the movies Alien and Predator, as well as the sequels to each. It is a shooter that bases itself around the premise that instead of a single type of character with a general set of weapons, the player has three choices of characters, each with their own set of weapons.

Predators also have a Medicomp device that allow them to heal, and an Energy Sift device that allows them to recover energy.
Aliens
Each species of playable creature has it's own unique weapon selection, but aliens only get to participate in melee attacks. Their claws, stunning tail whip, and pounce attacks are their real source of damage. However, they are able to climb walls, and make better-than-human jumps. To heal, they must eat from the body of a predator or a human. Aliens also are able to regain extra health by eating the heads of their opponents.
Human Plot
The human story begins aboard the Conestoga-class USS Verloc, carrying a small contingent of U.S. Colonial Marines to planet LV-1201, where a research outpost is located that hasn't been heard from for 6 weeks. The main hero in the human story is Corporal Andrew "Frosty" Harrison, a simple Marine who finds out about a conspiracy to capture Aliens and use them as test subjects. The human story then takes a turn for the worse, when the Dropship carrying Harrison's squad crashlands, and is stranded until they can get to a landing platform. After Harrison activates the landing beacon, the Marines explore the facility, until literally "All hell breaks loose!" The Xenomorphs that are there awaken and begin to slaughter the Marines, until the survivors begin to retreat. Harrison travels deep into the Hive to attempt to rescue a fellow Marine, but fails when a chestburster pops out. He leaves the Hive, and again fights the Aliens to get to the safety of the Pods (this is one of the two human installations that are on LV-1201), where the Marines meet the mysterious Dr. Eisenburg, head of the research outpost, and the rough General Vassili Rykov, head of the Corporate mercenaries. Harrison starts to uncover Eisenburg's intentions when he is captured and sent to death. He escapes though, and makes contact with a mysterious person who will help Harrison if he helps whoever that is. When he gets out of the Pods, armed and with armor on, he steals an APC, and discovers that this person is a scientist named Tomiko, and that she is here to uncover a plot that involves human guinea pigs and genetic modification. She helps Harrison when he goes deep into the Hive to find his team, who think that Harrison is dead. He activates a landing beacon, and the Dropship picks him up. He prepares for the final confrontation against the Aliens; he picks up his specialist vehicle, an armored Exosuit nicknamed "ALICE", and fights the Aliens, until his Exosuit is damaged beyond repair, and he fights against the Alien Queen. He mortally wounds her, and is picked up by the Dropship. The Dropship destroys the Hive with missiles, and the Alien infestation is wiped out. Tomiko sacrifices herself by overloading the fusion reactors in the Pods, destroying the installation. The final report is that the mission failed, a Dropship is still unaccounted for, the base is unsalvageable, the possibility of survivors is unlikely, and that the 6th Mobile Battalion should begin cleanup procedures immediately.
Alien Plot
The alien plot starts off on LV-1201, where the known Dr. Eisenburg is seen as the only survivor of what appears to be a Xenomorph massacure. We jump ahead 10 years later, where he is seen as the head of the research facility on LV-1201. He is discussing about an incident and how much he is bragging about his accomplishments. The cargo vessel Aurora(we believe it to be an M-class starfreighter), lands on LV-1201, and unloads some unknown cargo. Our alien friend starts off as an Egg, which hatches later on and becomes a Facehugger. The facehugger finds a suitable and isolated victim. After that, he eats his way out of the victim's chest, and becomes a Chestburster. It finds a place to eat, and becomes a Drone Alien. He starts to wreak havoc for revenge against Dr. Eisenburg, who is using Aliens as test subjects. The Drone finds his way out of the LV-1201 facility and into the Hive, where the leader of the Aliens on the planet, the Empress, is captured by a team led by Dr. Eisenburg. The Alien deactivates a number of explosives that would have prevented the Aliens from retaliation. The single Drone kills all men in its path, and confronts Eisenburg. In the final cut-scene movie, it is revealed that Eisenburg is actually a synthetic.
Predator Plot
