Aliens Versus Predator is a first person shooter from Rebellion and 20th Century Fox, set in the universe created by the four Alien movies, but featuring an original story with a special guest star appearance of Predator - the interstellar trophy hunter in search of the most dangerous game. Aside from that, this game has no relation to the AvP movies which actually came out a few years later than this game. There are three characters - alien, marine, and predator. Each has his own weapons, abilities, and characteristics, and there are three separate campaigns to play through, one for each character. AVP also features a multiplayer mode where you can join your favorite species and fight in a deadly contest of natural selection.
This information is based on Aliens Versus Predator Classic 2000, a re-release of AVP Gold available exclusively on Steam. This version is updated with proper widescreen support (the old retail version stretched), and uses Steamworks for multiplayer. Make sure you have the latest patch - if you use Steam online regularly, this should happen automatically.

Solutions & Issues
Widescreen resolutions are supported natively. Just select your resolution from the video options screen.
The Predator's HUD has one flaw - the lock-on reticule is stretched, and becomes misaligned the farther it is from the screen's center. It doesn't really affect gameplay - your weapons will hit their mark anyway, but it is a blemish. The alien's HUD (basically a life bar), however, scales according to horizontal resolution and is anchored to the bottom. FMVs - they are forced 640x480, with hard letterboxing. This means windowboxing in widescreen.
