Alien vs Predator 2 MicroMod Character Weapons Mod description
This is an update to earlier MicroMods, which further balances gameplay by altering weapon loadouts, power, rate of fire etc

Alien vs. Predator 2 is the long awaited sequel to Alien vs. Predator, arguably the most intense and terrifying game of 1999. This title combines elements, creatures, and settings from the hit movies: Aliens; and Predator, in three unique, interlocking, character-driven stories where aliens, predators, and human marines share one powerful trait—the enduring will to survive.

Each story unfolds from the perspective of a young Marine Corporal, a newly emerged Alien, and a Predator on the hunt. Self-preservation is a priority for the characters but each has its own underlying objective—the marine to find other humans, the Alien to save its queen and race, and the Predator to find distinction and honour in the hunt. And only one species can emerge victorious! Which one will it be?

Here are some key features of "Alien vs. Predator 2":

3 deadly species:
· The Marine: With impeccable training, this vulnerable soldier defeats all enemies through strategy, skill, and explosives powerful enough to bring down a mountain
· The Alien: With ferocious speed, the surface climbing xenomorph strikes without warning from any direction, killing instantly with a single, well placed head bite or with the strike of its sword-like tail and razor sharp claws
· The Predator: With light-bending stealth, this solitary hunter stalks unseen, carefully monitoring its energy supply while annihilating foes with its blade, spear, or electrical blast.
Enhanced single player mode:
· Allows gamers to play as one of the original "three deadliest species"—Alien, Predator, or Marine—PLUS 3 new characters

· Grenade Launcher
- lost spider mines
- EMP grenades have a 250 wide detonation area, but do almost no damage, and completely drain the energy of any predators caught in an EMP blast
- Timed grenades explode a little faster, are more powerful, and have a 350 wide blast radius

Predators

· Class weapons got shuffled about, but not that much.
· The Medicomp costs a measly 3 energy to use, but other players *should* be able to hear the yell now

· Pistol is a last resort weapon, dealing 50 impact damage and 25 area damage, using 6 energy per shot, with secondary fire disabled. It also deals EMP damage, which will sap your energy reserves in a hurry if you accidentally damage yourself with this thing. NOT a close combat weapon!
