Predator Self Destruct?
Does anyone know of the AI predators self destruct if you kill them with anything other than a sadar or minigun (or any other heavy weapon) like in the CD version?

Yes, the AI predators are equipped with the self-destruct mechanism in AVP Classic 2000 as well. They will use it when you've lowered their health by a certain amount. At that point you have to kill them quickly before it goes off (you have about 4 seconds).

More to the point, there is no noticeable difference between AVP Gold Edition and AVP Classic 2000 that I've noticed save for the changes to multiplayer.

What kind of difference?

There were many more options for multiplayer servers, such as linking by IP address, starting a LAN game, playing on mplayer or Gamespy, etc. Older players could tell you much more accurately than I.

The only major differences of any aspect of gameplay between Classic 2000 and the game's previous iterations (that I have noticed) are: 1) some of the cheat options (such as MotionBlur and TripTastic) don't work properly in the Classic 2000 edition, and 2) the human auras that the alien sees in single-player shift colors between blue, red, and green in Classic 2000 rather than stay blue as they did in the previous versions.

Gamespy probably isn't that good of an example since, thanks to GLU Mobile (they bought it because they thought they could make a quick buck of a PC gaming essential but as you can see because of networks like Steam and... ugh... Origin that plan obviously backfired) Gamespy is dying.

Gamespy is not an example. It's an option that used to be available with AvP Gold, and isn't available with AvP Classic 2000.

And by the way, Gamespy is already dead:
