Aliens Versus Predator
Talk about your underappreciated games!! This one blew me away, especially the great multiplayer experience. Most games based on licenses are crap, but this one has the consummate balance and fun of a Starcraft.

Marines: Individually weak, the marines are the only ones who can find better weapons, use the motion tracker, minigun, smartgun ect. Good for team players and people new to AvP from a more conventional shooter like Quake.

Predator: The ultimate lone wolf, predators do not really complement each other in teams. The easies player to begin with, the Predator has the most 'instant death' attacks, the most vision modes, sniper zooming, and the most health.

Alien: the most difficult class, but the one that rewards skill the most. The incredible speed and ability to move on walls and ceilings disorients newbies. The ability to charge up health.

The little touches: the Predators echoing roar when he takes a trophy, the aliens hiss, the stuttering whine of the smartgun...magic

Classic moments: A Predator emerges from the water in the middle of a marine squad with the disc and full energy...
The marines are at the end of a long tunnel with a smartgunner....
The aliens attack in a spiralling corcksrew...
The aliens silently drop from a very high ceiling in a dark room for death from above....
The aliens lure marines into a room, then the ambushers simultaneously knock out all the lights and hiss...
The aliens in 'Derelict' level, knocking out the grates and pouring into a room from every direction...
Running through a corridor as a lone, cut off marine...
A squad of marines finally backs a Predator into a corner...the bloody slugging match.
