Easy XP:
To easily gain XP, search for a ranked match in Multiplayer mode. When it says “One player in game, waiting for more players”, quit, and go to the main menu. Then, load a Marine mission on the Normal difficulty with a lot of enemies, such as the Praetorian boss in the “Research Lab” mission. Simply kill enemies now to get easy XP. Repeat as desired.
Avoid Alien Instant Kills:
To avoid being instantly killed by an alien while playing as a Marine in multiplayer, keep your back against the wall.
Collectible Locations:
To make collectibles flash on your HUD when playing as an Alien or Predator, activate FOCUS.
Alien: Ventilation shaft:
As the Alien in level 3, the Queen will tell you to get to the bottom of a shaft with a giant fan at the top. As you get close to it, another Xenomorph will be swept away and blown into the fan. If you use your Focus, you can see two vents on the opposite wall. Choose either of them and you can safely jump to it despite the power of the fan. As you go, you will find more vents to hide in. Use them to make your way down.
Alien: Out of bounds:
As the Alien you can eventually reach the jungle and exit in a Marine complex. To the far side is a downed ship with “MARLOW” painted on the side. If you climb up this ship you will find a flat area of land on the other side of the electrified fence. Moving too far however will result in an instant death.
Alien: Disabling smart guns:
Located in several levels are red gas canisters with a small pilot light on them. These can be pushed easily by walking into them. If you can get behind the smart gun, push it as close as possible and strike it once with a heavy attack (should be a tail strike). You will have a small amount of time to flee before it explodes, disabling the smart gun
Crossovers:
In some levels of the Alien and Marine, you can hear the Predators classic vocal sounds in the background. In some levels as the Alien you can just see the blurry shape of a Predator moving when you enter a new area. There are also Predator Mines laid out in certain areas that only the Alien can reach.
Civilian suicide:
In some areas, Civilians will be so frightened of you that they will commit suicide.
