Rebellion recently re-released their original Aliens vs Predator via Steam in middle of January. That release came without the multiplayer aspect of the game which has since had its first beta released:
* Integrated with Steam overlay
* Uses Steam name
* Host/join games via bare-bones in-game lobby browser
* Can invite and join friends and other players via the Steam overlay
* Currently no way to create private games (will patch)
* Game attempts host migration
* Dedicated servers are not supported or planned
* Supports windowed mode with –w command line switch
For those who have already downloaded the game, just launch Steam up and then AvP and your update should already been there. This is only a beta release and is still somewhat buggy at the moment but that should all be updated in time.

Same here I started to freak out lol.
I love my mac but I feel the same way. Im really displeased that steam is not work on the mac and get to enjoy classic games on it.
For those of you with Macs, have you tried dual booting with a Windows OS?
1 dont you ever say about mulitplayer beta now put it somewere not in the news i got all hyped when i saw AVP mulitplayer beta
2. MAC'S COME WITH WINDOWS XP when you start it up click on windows :o
thise is the original avp mp beta?? the old 1999 game? cool ;D :P ;D ;D ;D
I don't have Bootcamp loaded on my Mac, I need the power and space for other projects. I can live without this game.
So, Steam charges 3€ for a beta demo for a 11 year old game? Freaking moneywhores!
Anyone actually played it yet?
beta demo!? this is the full avp gold version of the game, with added multiplayer support! bargain of the century. you'd be absolutely mad not to pick this up for 3 quid or 5 dollars
@MICKY haha but can you live without AVP3???

Wait do you need steam for avp 3?
because it run's on steam...
Whoever said that he was getting it for pc?
Its so BUGGY.
Not 1 server is smooth, half the time you cant tell whats going on as people are moving around so fast.
They need to Slow the game down, You can just run and jump everywhere and NEVER get killed. i dont remember it being like that back in the day
I don't know if "MICKY" can live without AvP3.
But I know "Mikey" can.
Sure, I am excited and all, very. But I do live a life outside of these franchises.
Now Photography and Photoshop... I probably couldn't live without those...
I have the original AvP Gold Edition. So how do I make steam know of its presence.
