AvP2 Singleplayer Custom Maps + Reviews

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "Prop Stuff New".

Map author: HHO.

Map review:

This is a short run through a prop test map made by HHO. There are no real missions here, just an exhibit of props. Some props are placed in rather unusual positions. To my surprise there is an enemy Predator in the level at 3:27.

The map is pretty cool for testing and just checking out AvP2 props. It is bundled in HHO's Frosty Aliens Predators Special Edition (FAP_SE).

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "Coffee Break".

Map author: Emerald_Yautja

Map review:

This is an ok map. It's a bit confusing where to go at times. You actually have to go get a cup of coffee and then wait for the lights to go out to get to the action. The only real complaints are the ai humans being static and very cheap alien spawns.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "ED_Quick_DM".

Map author: OO-Edds

Map review:

This is not really a full map, but a short marines vs corporates fight. It is included as a bonus map in the OO-Edds map pack. It's fun for quick deathmatch like the name of the map implies. I play it a few times to test different outcomes, such as letting the ai fight themselves and watching who wins.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "Ivan1".

Map author: OO-Edds

Map review:

The first of OO-Edds' Ivan maps. Some of the level design is a bit boxy, but it is overall good. The map is primarily human vs human with only a tiny bit of predator fighting. Make sure you crouch when crossing the bridge at the start of the map. I also blow myself up by accident in this playthrough lol.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "Ivan2". Map author: OO-Edds Map review: The second of OO-Edds' Ivan maps. Ivan 2 is very much a corporate vs marine set up, with the player once again playing on the side of the corporates. The Harrison enemy character seems to be used as somewhat of a boss with his increased health. Overall the map is short, but sweet.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "Ivan3".

Map author: OO-Edds

Map review: This is the third and final map of OO-Edds' Ivan maps. This time around, the player is on his own with no ai to help him take on the enemy marines. Ivan 3 has improved level design, more varied enemy types with different weapon loadouts and is generally the hardest map to beat of the three maps. Overall, Ivan 3 is a good map.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "Morpheus Base".

Map author: Necron

Map review:

This is an unfinished map with doom-styled narrow corridors that are filled with aliens. It's fun for a quick playthrough, but it is obvious that it needed a bit more polish and more rooms to be 100% completed. When the player reaches the "end" of the map, the player is stuck and is forced to quit to exit the game.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "Emerald's Hunting Vessel".

Map author: Emerald_Yautja

Map review: This is not really a map but a tech demo. Emerald Yautja used this map back in the day to take screenshots for his website.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "Hadley's Hope" aka "HH".

Map author: Hevoc.

Map review:

This is a skirmish-styled map that is a fairly accurate depiction of Hadley's Hope from the movie Aliens. Unfortunately, you will find more predator weapon pickups than marine weapon pickups even though you are playing as a marine. While the map looks good (minus one glitched room), it is hard to take in the level design with the constant flow of aliens attacking and the constant running around in circles.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "Hive1_1" aka "Hive 1, part 1".

Map author: dechande

Map review:

In this map you play as a predator that goes through a series of tunnels/rooms taking on hordes of aliens. The map is a bit buggy, hard to see and has some glitchy ai. It's ok for a quick run.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "Base-13F".

Map author: Hunter-T

Map review:

This is a fun map where you play as a predator trying to rescue his fellow clan mate from captivity. The level design is a bit boxy, but it's fun to watch the predator ai follow you around and attack other enemies. Just be careful when using the elevator on this map as it can squash you really easily.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "Forestbunker".

Map author: Hunter-T

Map review:

This is an ok predator map in which you search for your fellow clan mate in a hive under a bunker in the forest (hence the name forestbunker). Once the player reaches the bottom of the hive, they must retrieve the plasmacaster from the fallen predator and return to the surface.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "Celtic-Ritesofpassages".

Map author: Le Celticant

Map review:

This map is based on the AvP movie's pyramid sequence in which predators fought off aliens on top of the pyramid. Aside from a few small bugs, the only problem with this map is that you will do a lot of walking from point a to point b without hearing anything but your footsteps. The best part of the map is the actual predator vs aliens fight on top of the pyramid.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "SK_Core".

Map author: Joao Alves aka JP54

Map review:

This is a skirmish map where you play in an exosuit trying to survive endless hordes of alien (drone and runner) enemies. Unfortunately, the map isn't too playable as there are major fps drops. Thus, shooting a single drone with an exosuit mini-gun is harder than it looks. Furthermore, the map is a bit buggy. As demonstrated in the first round, there is only one drone that keeps respawning. On the second round, the same drone gets stuck in the elevator lift, but this time all the other aliens spawn at once. Fortunately, you can fix the lift by jumping back on the platform and jumping out. The difficulty is also worth mentioning. If you run around in a circle, you pretty much never get hurt. I destroyed my exosuit both times to end the round out of boredom. The map had potential, but it could have been better.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "SK_Royal_Flesh".

Map author: Unknown

Map review:

This is a decent skirmish map where you play as a human fending off respawning aliens in a hive. If you stay on the upper levels the aliens can't get to you at all unless you lead them there. There are some turrets propped about which help a bit, but it if you venture down into the lower levels, or into the water, it is a death sentence. Stick to the walls and run across the platforms to survive!

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "Gold-Temple (v3.0)".

Map author: Le Celticant

Map review:

This is a straight forward predator map in which you need to find your spear and return to your ship. The map has a lot of influence from the AvP movie in it. The best and worst part of the map is your sidekick predator ai. He is seemingly invincible and can help you out a lot in combat, when he works that is. He frequently gets stuck and you have to bump him and kind of lead him to get around. You will likely need his help at times because your weapon load out is limited too. Lastly, some of the alien ai spawns are totally unfair as they spawn right in front of you. Regardless, the map is worth a play just to see the predator ai fight about.

Note this map was released previously two times. The most up to date version of the map is version 3 and it can be found in the Celtic Map pack.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "DM_Outpost29".

Map author: HHO

Map review:

This looks like a cool tower defense map based on the Starship Troopers movie, in which the player fends off aliens as a marine. However, in this custom map the aliens only target the player. The difficulty can be quite challenging as swarms of endless aliens will attack you and easily pin you down if you venture onto the field. The turrets can help a bit, but they can also take you down if you get in their line of fire. There is a multiplayer version of this map as well, which I would recommend over the singleplayer version as. Both version play the same, but it is more enjoyable for the map to be played with teammates.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "Saving Private Redclaw".

Map author: Redclaw

Map review:

This cool map was inspired by the map "Saving Private Frosty", the movie Saving Private Ryan and obviously WW2. In this map, you play as a Marine storming a hill off the coast of a beach. You will encounter landmines, tank blockers, barbed wire and extremely tough corporate ai. Your goal is to reach the communications center and remote detonate the bombs. Saving Private Redclaw is one of the toughest singleplayer maps ever built, if not the toughest due to corporate ai being very deadly and relentless.

I kept dying numerous times trying to storm the hill guns blazing at first playthrough. This recording is my second attempt to try and beat the map. In order to win this map, you must take a strategic approach, quick-save and be willing to retreat to regain health and ammo pickups.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "Trooper Style Skirmish".

Map author: Windebieste

Map review:

Trooper Style Skirmish is a singleplayer skirmish map for the marine against waves of aliens. You have three marine teammates that will either follow you around or hold their ground upon selecting them. Once you open the ammo boxes within the compound, the alien waves will commence. There seems to be about 5 waves with increasing difficulty that will loop after each other. The map is great, but it would be great if the difficulty continued to increase past the praetorian wave. I highlight all the initial waves in the video, but then skip ahead to some other tough waves. I eventually quit the map as the waves never became overwhelmingly difficult nor did my player die.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "Rod Serling's Giant Infested Scrotum Hangs Heavilly Over The Sacrificial Altar of Stonehenge" aka "Scrotumhenge".

Map author: Windebieste

Map review:

This is another skirmish map from the twisted mind of Windebieste, who claims he had the flu when he came up with the idea for this map. It's a circular map with respawning aliens chasing you. You can climb up the ladder to the stone platforms for some cover, but occasionally aliens will drop down on your head. Overall, this is a small but funny skirmish map.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "[DnD] Hive".

Map author: WsCandy

Map review:

This is easily one of the best hive custom maps made for AvP2. It is very dark and spooky to navigate. There are some jump scares, but unfortunately there are also a few cheap alien spawns right in front of you. Regardless, the map is overall great. The player is tasked with a few objectives that force the player to travel through the hive. Eventually the map will turn into a skirmish mode, which is slightly disappointing because you want to escape after accomplishing all the tasks.

The player can also retrieve the torch to activate the turrets for additional cover fire. In my playthrough, I was unable to find the torch but finished all objectives. I returned back to the apc at the end of the map when I realized it is safe point to end the map on.

Aliens vs Predator 2 singleplayer custom map titled "[TDS] Invasion" (unreleased).

Map author: [TDS] Claws n Jaws

Map review:

[TDS] Invasion is an unreleased map made by [TDS] Claws n Jaws. I was in the clan [TDS] for only a couple of months and I left to fly solo. The clan fell apart right after due to a terrible clan leader. But while I was there, Claws n Jaws wanted me to beta test his maps and sent me this very map. This was the most up to date version of the map that I was sent before he abandoned AvP2 to do other things.

The concept for this map was that a predator ship shoots a stun weapon (emp or something) at a ship and attempts to board it. This map showed tremendous potential in terms of how fun it is to play. It's also fun to watch the dumb, yet funny ai fight each other, which is a rare sight to see in most maps. The map doesn't have fully working predator vision modes, nor does it have an ending. After the room with the exosuit, that's it.
