Erm... Maybe you should play more FPS' -- it's relatively easy if you can
see the mindset that they want you to play it with...

The Predator works like an assassin -- you have to have to hit fast and
accurate and then retreat to recuperate... Use your cloaking abilities to
confuse and take out humans, and use the Pistol or the Disc to take out the
Aliens...

The Aliens require you to keep moving... Don't stop and use your climbing
and extra sensory abilities to literally tear marines to pieces
(remembering to rip off their heads and rend their bodies to pieces to
regain lost health)... Against Predators or tracking weapons always strafe
and use your jumping/clawing attacks to blindside them... Always remember
that you do nearly three times as much damage if you hit from behind...

The Marine is probably the easiest to play (at least until you reach the
Bonus Missions and have to use the JetPack which kind of flares your
low-light). Use your superior firepower and keep moving... Pulse Rifle is
probably the best all-around weapon (though the Smartgun gets close).
Remember to use the flamer against Face Huggers or against large groups of
Aliens to light up the room (hehehe...).

All in all, it suffers from the same flaws as all other First Person
Shooters -- it gets repetitive quickly. There's only so much shooting,
running, jumping, and ducking you can do before it all becomes a slow and
boring grind... That being said it has some great atmosphere... I can't
tell you the number of times I've almost fallen out of my chair when a face
hugger gets me...
