AVP2? I played it just now, which is why I've started this RP. Who do ya wanna be?
06-11-2003, 21:14
how about the Weyland-Yutani Corpoation? :twisted:
06-11-2003, 21:18
I have the game AVP2 but I never beat the game. I'd volunteer as something but I've only seen the third Alien movie. However, I do know somewhat about the movies and I did get pretty far as Marines in AVP2. I've also seen the movie Predator so I guess I could help you there.

I've seen all the films and played AVP2, I might be interested :)
06-11-2003, 21:22
I'd also like to volunteer too as I have named my country after the planet in AVP2, although I'm about in the same boat as Weyland (I'm accutually a friend of his in RL).
06-11-2003, 21:25
Has anyone beat the game AVP2 here? I've only gotten as far as when the "Frosty" had to rejoin his group after escaping Weyland Yutani's laboratory thing.

Okay, you're all hired. So what've we got...

Weyland-Yutani Corp (as himself, I assume?)
LV-1201- ???
Altaran- ???
Soviet Trasa- Marines (?)

You need to tell me who you want to be.

Yeah, I completed it.

I think marines would be an interesting part to play, if I can.

I'm accutually over my friend's house whose country is Weyland Yutani Corp in NS so I wouldn't be able to participate in this for a while. However, when I get home I'll volunteer as the aliens since LV-1201 is there home planet.

I'll be anything since I'm not a total expert in Aliens. And altaran, which character did u beat AVP2 with? The alien, the predator, or the marine?

I also just remembered there was an expansion pack to AVP2. Does anyone have it?
06-11-2003, 22:17
What alien species are playable?
06-11-2003, 22:25
There are the face huggers, the chestbursters, the runners, the drones, the praetorians, the Predalien,s and of course the queens.

To complete the game, you play as each character - it's not several characters for the same missions - there are different campaigns for each species. In order to see the whole story, you need to play as all of them and complete their missions.

Id like to play an Alien Queen. (One of the winged ones would be best, if your including those)

Please bear in mind that this is a character RP. If you lack experience in character RPs, you'll pick it up pretty sharpish. Marines can have names, but stay away from naming Predators or Aliens. 1 Queen max, and 2 max Praetorians. We could add more Preds if the two get face-hugged (The only way for a Predalien to be born).

Okay-dokey?

I think I remember reading something about what you said. Something about playing the game in chronological order in a gaming magazine when they were interviewing I believe was the head programmer or producer. But what happens when you complete all the missions for one group? Does it show an ending movie or something?

Sure - but I'm in the UK, so posts will be (later? earlier?) than those from the US (so don't make too much happen all at once 8))

It was ages ago when I played it, but yeah, it was like that. You'd have cinematics for each species, but it didn't make much sense until you pieced it all together at the end (it's sort of like Pulp Fiction 8)).

I've got the manual to AVP2 right in front of me so if anyone needs me to list the different kinds of aliens, some equipment and weapons Marines and Weyland Yutani Corp. employees have, or the equipment and weapons the Predator has just let me know.
