Alien Multiplayer Strategies The primary benefit of the Alien class is its ability to climb walls and hang from ceilings. This ability must be exploited to its maximum potential if you are to succeed. The Alien has no firepower, only a tail attack and claws, and this does not bode well when standing in front of a primed and ready minigun. The wise Alien player will lurk in a dark section of the room and attack from behind. Forget all the negative talk you've heard in other first-person shooters in regard to "camping" (a "camper" is the nickname given to players that hide in shadows and wait for someone to walk by). Camping is the fundamental strength of the Alien and should be used whenever possible. Unless you have other Aliens helping you out, you should never even consider attacking more than one person. Chances are, you're going to die. Instead, wait for that one lone warrior to stumble into a darkened room and fly into action. After you have disposed of your victim, change locations as quickly as possible; the chances are good the person you just slaughtered will return to the scene of the crime seeking the taste of revenge. Don't be there when they return; instead, be somewhere close and ruin their day by nailing them again when their back is turned. Since everyone but the Alien will be making mad dashes for weapons scattered throughout the level, the smart Alien player will lurk near weapons and launch surprise attacks against players that attempt to pick one up. Just don't expect this tactic to work for very long, because players will soon wise up.
