Essential improvements[edit]

Patches[edit]

Patches are available for both the Windows and Macintosh versions. Digital distribution versions are already patched.

Modifications[edit]

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)

Mouse sensitivity		There is a slider for each axis. However, when these sliders are on equal notches, horizontal sensitivity is higher than vertical sensitivity.

By default, the number of saves per level is limited to 8, 4, or 2 (from the easiest to the hardest difficulty).
