About the Author:
===============================================================================

I wrote this walkthrough since I couldn't find any for this game at hardcore
difficulty. It's my second walkthrough.
I wrote it while I played the game using the windows-button to switch between
the game and notepad. I wrote literal what I did in the game. First I thought
that the marine campaign would be very hard since you can't heal without any
med-kits. But on the other hand, the marine does have the superior firepower
compared to the alien's and predators.
I tried to make this walkthrough as detailed as possible. I just hope that it
doesn't contain too much details.
If you have any comments or found something that I didn't or maybe a question
because my walkthough wasn't detailed enough somewhere, feel free to email
me at "carlo_avp2@hotmail.com".

===============================================================================
1. General hints/tips
===============================================================================
-Always backstep (if possible) while shooting aliens who are coming towards
you. This will give you more time to kill them.
-You learn every time you restart a level. The first time I play a level I
probably beat an alien by losing about 10 hp there. The next time probably 0.
Because then I know exactly where he is plus I can start trying to find a
good tactic to kill it.
-You will probably face a lot of ammo problems on hardcore unless you aim for
the heads. This starts between level 1 section 3 - 4.
-backstep-jumping works well vs. alien's who don't jump but just run and then
try to hit you. It makes most of their hits miss (if not all). (I used this
tactic vs. the Queen in the predator campaign. There is was even more
effective)
-At the start of a level first load all weapons by selecting them.
-Don't step in the APC's line of fire. Also never stand before moving objects
like a spaceship.
-If you are facing a T-junction. And an alien would come from the left. But he
is too far away for your shoulder lamp. Then just shoot him as soon as he is
in front of you (look at your radar, line up so that the center vertical line
crosses the blip). Now just hope he was walking on the floor hehe.

===============================================================================
2. Notes:
===============================================================================

-Alien's appear to spawn at random sometimes. So unlike the predator campaign
the enemies may be at another spot. It seems that there are never more then 3
places for the same alien to spawn (unless it's an infinite spawn). I try to
describe as much as possible possibilities for the aliens to spawn and what
type of alien's it are. But you might get attacked by an alien in an area
which I described as safe because I didn't had that combination before. I
restart every level about 2-20 times.
-If I say that you have to charge-up your battery then I mean that you should
turn off and battery consuming gear and wait till it is full.


===============================================================================
3. Abbreviations:
===============================================================================

-GL = grenade launcher
-PR = pulse rifle
-Flamer = flamethrower
-PT = pistol
-AP = armour piercing
-SMG = smartgun
-Sniper = sniper rifle
-M-alien or #m alien = medium sized alien. I don't know it's proper name :P.
-S-alien or #s alien = small size alien. I don't know it's proper name :P.
- "+" instead of "-" is a comment/note.


===============================================================================
4. Weapons:
===============================================================================

1. Knife
The only good thing about this weapon is that it doesn't use any ammo and
therefore is excellent for opening air-vent's and stuff. NEVER use this
in battle (with the exception of Betrayal Section 1/5).

2. Pistol
I used it a few times for enemie's at long range. But the firepower just
won't do it vs. alien's on hardcore. Even the secondary fire (AP bullets)
doesn't do enough damage. Only use it vs. marines (headshots).

3. Shotgun
I just love this gun. It's primary fire instantly kill the regular alien's
and marines at close range. At medium range it often cripples alien's.
I never used the secondary fire, so I can't tell you anything about it
(-.-).

4. Pulse Rifle
It's primary fire is good for short and medium range. At long range it
works too but wastes a lot of ammo. Most ammo you find will be for this
gun.
The secondary fire doesn't do any good damage. I only use it vs. VERY tiny
alien's (mission 4, 'tunnel of random fear'). Also the ammo for this mode
isn't very common.

5. Grenade launcher
I never ever used this gun. But the proximity grenades can help you out if
you know at forehand that some enemies will come from behind or from 2
places at the same time.

6. Flamethrower
Well this weapon really kicks some butt. It almost instantly kills regular
alien's and you can hardly miss.
It's not very effectiv evs. big alien's, cyborgs and those very tiny
alien's. Too bad that you won't find much ammo for this gun.

7. Smartgun
This guns automatically aim's at it's target (unless the target is too far
away. It uses A LOT of ammo. In the first few levels you will almost not
find any ammo for it. But later on you just keep finding ammo for this gun.
Effective vs. everything.

8. Rocket launcher
The damage on enemies is not so good. But it is on you! I only used it vs
that 'exo-suit human' (and maybe the predator).

9. Minigun
With this weapon you are practically unbeatable. In the last few levels you
will find lot's and lot's of ammo for this gun. And you will need it. It
really kills everything pretty fast including the Queen.

0. Sniper rifle
Bad weapon. Does an incredibly lot of damage. But it reloads slow. And you
will only find it in the last few levels of the game. By that time you have
the SMG, flamer, minigun, etc. So forget about this weapon.

x. Exo-suit
Weapon 1 primary fire is a flamer.
weapon 1 secondary fire is a gun, uses energy instead of ammo.
weapon 2 primary fire is a minigun.
weapon 2 secondary fire is a rocket.
Your ammo is displayed at the bottom. Jumping drains energy and you can jump
from higher levels without taking fall damage. You can also jump a little
higher. You regain energy by standing still. If you are low on energy then
you will also walk slower.
