yeah... whenever I try to do anything (campaign, online)in Area 51 it quits and that stupid message comes up saying it encountered a problem. I was able to do the first level, but I couldn't do the second one. Also, i did a few online matches, but now i have the same problem as with the offline mode. PLEASE HELP. I'm really pissed off.

A list of important questions:
1. What are patches?
2. Can I fix this game without buying anything?
3. Why does nothing ever work on my comp?!??!
4. Why am I replying to my own message?

First - you waited an entire 30 minutes. On a Saturday. When no one is in the office. I'm not sure exactly what you expected...
Second - this is NOT an official Midway support forum. This is for players to help each other, if they can. Apparently no one knows the answer to your question yet.
If you want official Midway support please see the post at the top that says "Official Midway Technical Support"

ahhhh!! wtf? my computer is like talking to me! But thats a different problem entirely... Ok, I went to the site like you said, asked the question, got lazy, and clicked on the first patch I came to. But waddya know? It's gonna take like 2 zillion hours to download! Hopefully this will solve my problem... and if not - there will be hell to pay.

(courtesy of Area 51 official strategy guide)
Disable the security lockdown
When you approach the Security Checkpoint Room, you'll find it's locked down. In order to continue, you need to find a way to bypass it. Double back a bit to the large pipe with steam coming out of it and locate the ladder next to it.
Take the ladder down to the catwalk overlooking the lava and find the broken section of railing where the catwalk turns to the left. You can carefully drop down from here onto the pipes below.
Duck and crawl underneath the catwalk and follow the piping until you can climb the downed grating on the opposite side. This allows you to bypass the blockade and use the ladder around the corner to get inside the Security Checkpoint Room.
Be prepared to deal with a few Dark Ops outside of the room. One is packing grenades, so either take extra caution or eliminate him quickly.
When you're ready, flip the switch to disable the security lockdown and duck through the half-open doorway. The door across the way is now accessible, allowing you into the next set of catacombs and out of the area.

Raaaaaaar! I am angry!!! I can't beat "Super Theta." There are no health packs in sight and just when u think you've beaten him, with 1 bar of life left, he kills ya with vollies of undodgeable attacks. It's those damn parasites that fly out of his back! If someone has any tips that would be great... especially if there are medi kits that I'm just not seeing.

courtesy of Area 51 official strategy guide
Quickly equip the Meson Cannon and use any charge you have inside its chamber. When you run out switch to the BBG and continue to target it while strafing and tossing grenades.
Once the Theta releases the Alien Globs, switch to your mutant form and throw a barrage of parasites toward them while targeting the Theta.
Watch your health
Make sure you keep an eye on your Health meter during the battle. If it gets dangerously low, mutate and send out parasites, which should replenish some of your stores. Even if you have a fraction of Mutagen left, it's worth the effort.
Don't let up on the attack, throw everything you got at the Theta. It releases all four canisters of Alien Globs before the battle is over. Eventually, it starts to pulsate and glow - this is not a good sign!
Once the Theta begins to emit energy and glow, this means it is going to discharge a powerful blast of infected and deadly Mutagen at its prey. Clear out as far away as you can and continue to blast away at it. Eventually, the beast goes down...
