I just got a copy of this game off eBay, installed it on the PC, and tried to play it. I hit a snag at the very beginning of the first mission (as a Marine).
We approach a building and the commander tells my character to "Run a Bypass" (in order to open the door in front of us). I approach the control panel and attempt to Hack into it, but nothing happens. When I try to use my knife to pry the control panel loose, the commander request "Permission to Abort. One of my men is ignoring a direct order." How do I open that darn door? Where is the circuit board I'm supposed to access if it isn't the one right in front of me? BTW, I tried starting another mission as a Predator and that one seemed to work fine, so I don't know if it's just a glitch that I need to patch, or if I'm just being incredibly stupid as the Marine and overlooking something obvious. Please help.

You need to open the control box first, I think the 'E' key is default, but its been a long time since I played the game, so you may need to check the options menu. After its open, you can hack it. The AvPII Marine Campaign is very well done, btw. Very, very, creepy [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for the help, Dreamer. I finally managed to get into the complex and look around. You're right about it being creepy...and I just about jumped out of my skin when I looked at the floor and saw a triangle of 3 red dots moving across the floor towards me.
Of course, I reacted like any hardened Space Marine veteran would.....I sprayed the ceiling with almost half a clip of ammo. ![]() Next question....how do I get up into the ceiling area to pursue the Predator. I found his "nest" and the dead bodies. I saw the laser sights from his shoulder gun, but I have no idea if I hit him or not. For all I know, he could be dead...but I can't find any way to get up there to take a look. Any more advice would be greatly appreciated.

Minor Spoiler
You can't actually fight the pred. in the early levels. However, judging by your post you are already later in the game. If you are not, stop reading. Its been awhile ago since I played this, so I may be a bit off. At some point, you are back on your way to ship to evacuate. The Pred. will open fire at you from a rooftop, then disapear. If you continue, he will at some point attack you from behind. |

When i bought this game I had the exact same problem,I even finished the Alien and Predator missions before I figured out how to hack the panel, every time I would shoot it or stab it until I got the "Permission to Abort. One of my men is ignoring a direct order" and then I would get angry and shoot them. Excellent game though once you figure out how to use the action key. |

Definitly a good single player game, but avoid the expansion, it is pretty lame.
Multiplayer was really fun, but horrid net code turned people off. Still, a good game of survivor was a great way to while away a few hours...notihng like being hunted down by a bunch of mad aliens, watching your mostion tracker go off the wall with blips, and praying that they dont find your hiding place OOO |
