About
Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 drops up to four players into the boots of Colonial Marines deployed to the most hostile corners of the Aliens universe. This is not a rescue mission – it’s a fight for survival. Xenomorphs stalk the corridors, ambush from the shadows, and swarm in overwhelming numbers. Every room could be your last. Coordinate with your fireteam, leverage each class’s unique abilities, and adapt on the fly as encounters escalate from tense standoffs to all-out war. With deeper squad mechanics, smarter enemies, and a fully customizable Specialist class, AFE2 delivers the definitive co-op Aliens experience.

Join our Discord server, Marine.
Expanding from three to four players, AFE2 introduces deeper team-based mechanics that reward coordination and strategic class composition. New and improved classes each bring distinct playstyles and tactical abilities to the fight, making every squad combination feel different.
The iconic xenomorphs are more ferocious than ever before. AFE2's massive variety of new xenomorphs will force players to stay mobile, maintain situational awareness, and use every tool at their disposal. From stun batons for up close melee action in those most desperate moments, to pyro and electric ammo to whittle down the unrelenting xenomorph front before they overrun you and your squad, the battle can shift from calculated tension to desperate last stand in seconds.
Beyond expanded weapon and gear customization, AFE2 introduces the Specialist – a fully customizable class that lets players mix and match major and minor abilities from every available class. Build a loadout tailored to your exact playstyle and fill whatever role your squad needs.
AFE2 launches with multiple dedicated Horde maps that push squads to their limits. Battle through escalating waves of xenomorphs and other deadly enemies, earning increasingly valuable rewards as you survive deeper into the onslaught. This is where teamwork and skill are tested at their absolute peak.

Was it worth 49.99 at launch defiantly worth 30 or 40$ is it fun yes very fun is it optimized yes, I didn't play the first one so having a good time with this one.
This game needs work. Writing is sub par, leaning heavily on the Alien franchise catch phrases, repeating them so much you consider bailing in the middle of a mission. First three characters you meet are butch lesbian looking characters, like the writers didn't know how to create anything else. The game should have been first person. They put you in tight spots with 3 other idiots constantly walking in front of your crosshairs for no apparent reason other than their ADHD. There is some light. The meat and potatoes of the gameplay is fun, but rough.

I am a big fan of the first Alien FE game and this one is just a straight up improvement upon the original in almost every way. Visuals are better, more effects like smoke and such make it more difficult to see and that adds so much to the gameplay in a good way. It runs great, my PC is pretty dang good so that's expected, but I have all settings maxed out and at 1440p I'm pretty much always 200+ fps. Lots of settings to customize, can even adjust the distance the camera is from your soldier. Lots of new abilities and mods for them, also weapons get a bit more customization with the perks that each gun unlocks and you can then put them onto any guns. The one thing I think I wish this one did that the first game did a bit more of is just those sneaky dudes that wait around corners. It still happens, but I feel like it happened more in FE1... though, that could just be because I haven't gotten to the higher difficulties yet. I will soon because this is a lot of fun and will be playing quite a bit more with friends.
Oh man. Ich sage ja. Auf Steam würde ich nie ein Game veröffentlichen. Außer die Performtes und dem nicht mehr ganz so Retro Sound kann ich nichts sagen. Mehr Aliens, mehr Klassen, mehr von allem. Ballern eben. Der Sani war bei guter Gruppe im ersten Teil schon als HEILER überflüssig. Ist kein MMO. Wer natürlich 8 Stunden zockt und nur eine Klasse den Prolog durchballert. Ja der steht schnell mit leeren Händen da. Die 50€ sind tatsächlich auch meiner Meinung nach etwas happig, weil die grundlegenden Mechaniken nicht neu sind und auch keine neuen hinzugekommen sind gegenüber Teil 1. Empfehle es trotzdem, als Alien Fan. UPDATE: Also ich bin jetzt im vorletzten Dialog. Wird immer besser. Weiß auch nicht ob was am Sound beim heutigen Patch gemacht wurde. Ist aber räumlicher Sound wahrnehmbar. Freue mich schon auf Horde....BÄM.
It's pretty similar to the first game, so if you liked that one you will definitely like this sequel. As of writing (9/18/2026), there have been two major bug/optimization patches to fix the jankiness at launch and hopefully more to come. A lot of the negative reviews at launch seem to be from people who didn't play the first game because the things they're criticizing are also in the first one.
I have to give this game a positive reveiw but only by the skin of its teeth. In camparison to the first game I would say it is a decent succesor but doesn't do anything groundbreakinly new. More weapons, an extra team member and a wider variety of enemies are about the only addition, as well as actually animated npc dialogue however their god awful corny dialogue and demeanor discredits that entirely. Gameplay wise, there are a lot of stutters and friendly and enemy ai seem to struggle with tasks and pathing even though they said they improved it from the previous game. I've also dropped out of a fair few games without any explainable reason. But that being said, I can't in good faith give a game an overwhelmingly negative review based on bugs that will probably be ironed out in the first few patches. What really pushes me to dislike this game is the price. With DLC, the previous game totaled a cost of around $55 Australian dollars. The base price for this game, without deluxe add ons or future dlc, being $80 AUD is absolutelty disgusting. Without any meaningful addition to the franchise or overall content of the series, I cannot see how they justify the price, especially seeing as how the first game wasn't a particuarly overwhelming success that would justify such a premium price. If you are a fan of the Alien franchise or enjoyed the first game, definitely give this a go, but absolutely wait for a steam sale and hope that servers aren't dead by then. Overall rating: 6.5/10 (Pre any bug fixes)
great game fun and idk what all the hate is about
After replaying the first one and remembering how amazing it felt I was super excited to see how they would build off of it. Unfortunately they built off of nothing. The Synthetics that felt like a legit threat in the first game kind of just stand there and wait for you to walk up with a shotgun. I never felt like they were advancing or pushing me out of cover. The actual Alien that we all paid to fight just feels off. There is something that I cant quiet put my finger on. Each mission felt like a chore especially since I had to turn off my dialogue. AvP Had better writing. OMG and that music what the hell is that? Its like sad joke trombone the entire time. Not once does the music swell and make you feel like some bad ass again I had to turn it off. IDK if I will finish it at this point I may come back later but right now I am not sure how to recommend this. I will say this though, the Drones look terifying with those translucent skulls when they are coming after you. If you are enjoying it I am glad. Don't let me yuck on your yum. I know people are really enjoying this but I dont think that this one is for me at the moment.
its bad in every way other than visually. 1. locking certain basic things like cosmetics or challenge cards behind game progression feels like a lazy way to forcibly pad out hours played. 2. enemies jittering or even outright teleporting is a constant issue, especially during the second-half of the campaign. 3. the audio is dog water to be frank. the aliens sound like theyre halfway across the room from you even if theyre up in your face, voicelines can and will repeat with an echo, the guns are only passable. 4. the dialogue is terrible. if they were intending to make an obnoxious 'so quirky lol' character then they did raptor well. ko has the personality of easily forgettable cardboard even for someone supposed to be the hardass type. shipp. piper i feel as though could have had better development other than 'i spoke once on the comms now im learning :)' esther and wrench i like simply because they feel more natural compared to the rest. 5. i struggled to pay attention to the storyline on account of the fact that it was so bland and samey. the prologue had me hooked, i was excited. the 2.x missions managed to keep that excitement building up until 3.1 even if there were fair leaps of escalation. the more you start to learn about the big evil doctor, however, and the further you progress into that arc the worse it gets until it becomes nothing more than a 'big scary scientist is doing EVIL and playing GOD.' 6. the ai clearly has a few screws loose as very frequently from what ive played, they would do things such as conga lining or get themselves stuck on nothing in an open space (an issue especially prevalent with the droid enemies). the only ai that seems to work decently well and kind of erratically are the synths, which is bad, because youd also expect that the xenomorph enemies would be able to do more than walk in singular straight lines at you. 7. semi infrequently (in my experience) the interaction key would either take one-two seconds delay or outright stop working. really just a nuisance compared to everything else. 8. the difference between the pre-rendered cutscenes, in-game cutscenes and the actual gameplay itself is utterly jarring to such a degree that it can pull you out of the immersion; going from wonderful to look at immediately into grainy 80s footage. this game is ultimately just fireteam elite 1 with prettier graphics and DOZENS of issues which one wouldve hoped wouldnt have been stuffed into a game that costs a whole 50 dollars. i love that they made challenge cards infinite, added new weapons and systems for said weapons, and abilities. but when i can count how many new things theyve added to 2 on both of my hands while the issues that persist infinitely, constantly grinding against you, its really just not worth it to purchase this game at full price. at best this is a game that you wait a year or two before buying, or buy it when its at a 15-20 dollar discount.
This game should have been a DLC for AFTE 1, not a seperate game with a 80$ price tag.
