Chapter 1 - Alien Strategies

Fighting Marines

Marines and civilians in the single-player game are quite slow - use that to your advantage. Circle around the slower species and swipe a few times with your claws or tail. Typically, it only takes one or two hits to completely immobilize the Marine or civilian. Don't attack from the front, where the Marine's weapon is. Instead, use the wall climb ability to get above or your speed advantage to get behind. For unarmed civilians, don't waste the extra health; walk up to the defenseless sack of flesh and use the jaw attack.

Fighting Predators

Though he's faster and tougher than a Marine, the Predator still isn't much of a match for the Alien's speed. Like the Marine, you must use this speed to your advantage. Circle around the Predator and constantly strike with the claws or tail. If you were playing as a Marine, it would be best to keep your distance to get off some explosive shots; however, as the Alien, it serves no purpose to stay far away because there's no way you can do damage. Get up close; though the Predator is tougher, he still can't take much punishment from your tail or claw attack. Charge up the tail attack and run at the Predator from the side or behind; release the attack when close.
