Version differences

Only the GOG.com and Steam versions of Classic 2000 include multiplayer.

Essential improvements

Patches

Patches are available. Digital distribution versions are already patched.

Modifications

  • Aliens versus Predator Classic Redux - a completed project that updates and expands the original Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000. It replaces almost every model, texture, and sound in the game with higher quality ones. Every single-player and standard multiplayer map has these improvements, and some single-player levels have significant additions.
  • AvP Direct3D9 Renderer - updated renderer for improved compatibility (almost pointless with classic 2000 version, except for resolution independent menu rendering)
