sorry to be random.. nice ping!
what does that mod do differently then the regular game
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
It is Multiplayer only, but it changes ALOT...
When you try it first time, you may be sceptic, that some weapons were removed, but the mod is great
Gameplay wise and not really
content wise...
Here's some of the gameplay changes:
- Aliens can "knock down" Predators and Humans, so that they fall backwards, and have to lift thier bodies (meanwhile, it gives you time to kill them if they ain't fast enough)
- Weapons are tweaked, and work WAY more realistic, and wre nicer to use imo... Marines have the standard puslerifle, with 95 Ammo, and grenades... While Corps have a similar looking Pulserifle (different colors) but it sounds very different, and it has 60 bullets per mag... And a shotgun attached, instead of grenade launcher...
- Balance on whatever type of character you choose is very good For instance, Corps are better against Predators, while Marines are better against Aliens...
- Predator's vision modes alter after which class you choose (Warriors and Striker has the vision modes form AVP movie, while Rookie and Hunter has the regular IR Thermal vision and electro vision)
- Any predator class has it's own kind of Shoulder cannon...
- Marine/Corps Rifleman class can carry frag grenades, which are thrown instead of flares... and Flamer classes have Incendary Grenades... (VERY cool)

There is simply too much to explain here, it has to be tried out, or shown by someone before you can see what makes it so different...
I'd recomend it to anyone wanting a more realistic AvP2 MP experience... (not too realistic though) There's a lack of servers and players at times, so i'd like more people to have this mod...
You could call this post some kind of Advertising...
