PlanetAvP has posted an interview with David Stalker, Fox producer for Monolith's Alien Versus Predator 2. There are some 20 questions about the game, followed by some misc. non-game related ones. Here's a bit from the multiplayer questions

PlanetAvP - I hear that you're working out on what multi-player modes should be in the game. What modes you all ready know will be in place, and what are you considering should be put in?
David Stalker - There are several different multiplayer modes including the classic Death Match and Species Death Match and the new Hunt, Overrun and Evac modes. Monolith packed in loads of functionality into the game browsing and configuration screens so that you can easily adjust each MP game as well as find the games that you are interested in. There's a fabulous in-game feature that will let you swap species on the fly without leaving the map [...]
PlanetAvP - Supposedly, there'll be three or four playable characters for each species in the game. Are you going for a Team Fortress type approach here?
David Stalker - In multiplayer there are many different playables per species. It's not TF…but something along those lines could be done (especially by some energetic young gamers when the tools come out!)

PC.IGN has conducted an interview with William Westwater of Monolith, talking about Aliens versus Predator 2. They ask him about the transitition of the game from the original developers Rebellion, making three seperate stories, the features of the Lithtech engine, balancing issues and more.

IGNPC: Are any of those features going back into the engine now? Have you come up with any features that will be included in future version of Lithtech?
William Westwater: Yeah, I mean 32-bit light-mapping I imagine will be, though I’m not with Lithtech, which is a separate company. We're on a 2.5 version of the engine, so we’re really closely related to NOLF in terms of evolution [...]

IGNPC: So where’s the game at now in terms of development?
William Westwater: Well, we’re pretty much on the fast track to ship it.
