Research Lab
Research Lab is playable as a Predator, Alien and Marine, each starting at a different location.
Plot
A singleplayer map in Aliens v Predator 3.
Description
The Research Lab is made up of a loading platform, loading bay, medical, control and a number of residual rooms interconnecting the areas.
Map
The Research Lab sits on the side of a mountain with ravines leading away into the distance, a monorail approach leads into a platform, part of the lower level which stretches up multiple stories. The loading bay, medical and control are found within the walls accessed by elevators and walkways. This installation is part of Weyland's research into the underground Pyramid which has been found there.
Predator
As a Predator you begin on the jungle side of the Research Lab.
Here you encounter mechanoids which must be killed,
after disabling security systems you are then able to board a monorail into the Research Lab.
You will encounter more mechs which are killed by a carefully
aimed spear (several tasks need to be completed to allow you to continue
and trophy belts to collect for achievements).
Continuing through
the Research Lab, here Weyland tries to capture you, by acting
quickly you can avoid capture, and continue to control.
From control you take an elevator and find yourself in a loading bay, similiar to the marines but with different set missions (you will encounter both Aliens, Synthetics and cloaked synthetics as you preform various tasks) as you pass through loading bay
you'll enter medical, again similiar to marines but with different missions, after
exiting medical in the same way as a Marine you will find yourself
back in the main loading area, more mechs appear here, finally taking a gantry platform to the
next level, 'Pyramid'.
Missions
Collect trophy belts.
Collect fallen comrade's wristband held in Medical.
Alien
This level is also for Aliens, you start as 'Number 6' who is
held as a specimen in one of the laboratories in the Research Lab which adjoins medical.
After you complete several tasks set by the scientist, one of which
is 'escape' you are returned to the lab this time there is a power outage and because of this you are able to make your escape.
During your mission you need to harvest the civilians and collect
royal jelly canisters (which also
adds to your total of achievements) and kill any mechs or marines
you encounter.
You will need to make use of air ducts, walls and ceilings for your escape
from the Research Lab, these will take you through medical in to control
and the loading area where the matriarch is held.
Markers direct you in the correct direction and tasks that need to be followed
in order to release her and make your own escape in to the next level, 'Colony'.
Missions
Escape Medical.
Collect royal jelly canisters.
Harvest civilians.
Release the Matriarch.
Marine
A Marine's mission is to get into the Research Lab where Tequila
falls ill, you then need to get her to medical to heal her which
fails so she is put into a stasis pod.
As a marine you continue and you'll encounter
many mechanoids and aliens through out medical that need to be killed. As you continue you find yourself in a large loading area where there are more mechs some of which are cloaked, taking the lift to various
levels, completing any tasks you then descend in a lift and
return to the main loading area, here you'll find yourself up against
the Matriarch (queen).
Having completed your mission in
Research Lab you continue to the next level, 'Pyramid'.
