Aliens vs. Predator: Extinction - Strategy Guide (Page 03)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Aliens vs. Predator: Extinction - Strategy Guide (Page 03).

The standard team in my game. Very annoying, as things seem to keep
regenerating. Team should be arranged as this:

Key:

C= Commtech
M= Medic
S= Synthetic
I= Infantry
F= Flamethrower
Sm= SmartGunner
Sn= Sniper
Sa= S.A.D.A.R.
E= Exosuit
SG= Sentry Gun

                             Commtech

            Sa                         Sa
                    Sn                        Sa                      SG

              F                       F          Fn

                   S
                             E        Commtech


Annoying team

7 Medics
2 S.A.D.A.R.
2 Commtechs
1 Flamethrower
1 Synthetic
1 Exosuit

Very annoying, as it seems that the Medics don't die. Setting up your team is
very inportant.

                M             Commtechs               M

                M                  M                  M

                       M                      E




Beat-down

setup is EXTREMELY important.

Story Mode:

Alright, I'm starting to type it. When you start off, look at the Intro movie.
It's pretty cool. Creae your profile called Extinction 1. Go to start Campaign
and srtart with the Marines.

Level One: Marines

Briefing: Your Marines, designated Bravo Squad, have just arrived on the
freighter U.S.C.S.S Esmeralda. The Esmeralda is loaded with newly recruited
imported miners in favor of the Weyland-Yutani mining work on LV-742.

Your arrival is the culmination of an effort tat was initated some four years
ago when a routine Weyland-Yutani probe identified this planet as rich in
mineral ore. Since the discovery, the mining effort has evolved into a
joint-venture between the Weyland-Yutani and the US Colonial Marines.

Bravo Squad is classified as a secondary support but an unconfirmed report of a
violent outbreak in your sector calls for immediate investigation.

Walkthrough

I'l try my best......

Note that if you ever get impregnated, stick around and kill the Alien.

The first objective says to investigate outbreaks by the pipe marked on the
map. Hewad your troops in that direction to a tree. Go in front of it. I'm
going to warn you, therre are aliens up ahad. Nothing but drones and a Runner,
but you should be careful. Go slowly and take them out from a strategic
location. If you're not etting my drift, the rock across from the rock where
the aliens are. Dispose of them, heal who you need to, and head on. Tell your
troops to head around the rock to kill another drone.

Tell your troops to go aound the rock to a cactus. Make them stand there. Move
your troops to trhe atmospheric processor and wait there. More Aliens are
coming. More Aliens are below you so move forward with caution. If you don't
see them, tell your troops to head around the rock into the campsite.

OBJECTIVE 1 COMPLETE. Now you need to secure the southern whatever. Head
towards it with cution. There are a LOT of aliens in this sector. If you rush
in, you'll get flattened. Head south to find a processor. Order troops here.
Get an upgrade. Repair the Atmo before it blows. Order 4 Infantry and stick
around for 23 seconds. After they arrive, head south to the miners camp.

Go until you reach a patch of red trees. Welcome, you are offically in the
hive. Be careful, stick together, and go slowly. A bombardment of Drones and
Runners will attack you. Destroy them, and repair the third Atmo. If you need
more troops, order them here. Buy 4 more Infantry. Head north of the Atmo to
the hive. A welcoming committee is here to greet you. Destroy them all.

OBJECTIVE 2 COMPLETE!

Head down into the miner's camp. More aliens are here. Keep a distance and let
the Infantry take care of them. Destroy alaliens. They stick in clumps, so keep
a distance. Head back to trhe landing pad.

OBJECTIVE 3 Complete!

More COMING SOON! (I promise!)



Strange Happenings

Ever have anything weird happen to you while you're playing? Does it happen
repeatedly? E-Mail me at kholdstare@cheatcc.com and I'll post it here.


Marines

Desertion

One of the most frustrating thngs that usually happens when I play with the
Marines. When I assign them a spot, one delinquent decides to go in an entirely
different direction. This is extremely frustrating.

Hesitation

Hesitation is when the attacker doesn't attack for some reason. This always
happens to me with one unit or another.

Medical Abusage

This is when the Medic just doesn't heal a certain unit. This can be fixed by
reassigning the Medic to the ignored unit.


Predator

The Predator's don't seem to not want to follow.


Aliens

Egg Sack

Sometimes, it takes too long for the egg to come out. Go, eat a Hot Pocket,
come back, and maybe it will be fixed.


Overpopulace bug


 Another thing or bug or glitch or whatever you want to call it
is the over populace bug. This can only be accomplished under certain
circumstances and when you have a sufficent amout of currency. To get more
troops for the marines, you'll have to be quick with the comtech, make an
order of how many troops you want then keep pressing the order button after
the ship drops off its shipment, this is very tricky to do but not
impossible. For the predators the same manner applies but since the unit
ordering is near instantanious, you'll have a better chance of getting a
surplus of units. Now the aliens are a bit tricky but not as difficult for
the marines. The queen must be alive and she must be laying eggs, this trick
can practically only be accomplished when the hyper fertility upgrade is
acquired. Once you have a sufficent amount of aliens make sure the eggs are
distributed but not to a location where a suspectible host or a company of
hosts passes them by. Then you'll need a pile of hosts ready for pregnation,
once the 45 populace mark has been filled then hatch the eggs and impregnate
the hosts, and there you go. It takes a bit of practice to pull off but
you'll reap the benefits of waiting.
