That really looked like the atmosphere the Alien movies were trying to put across oO

[Armoured Priest]

Did ya'll notice some Xenomorph varients in the trailer? Looks like one is a acid suicide bomb. I know there is the crusher too, wonder how many species they are making into this game.

[Warmonger]

[Armoured Priest]

[Emporer469]

All us Night Lords are uber hyped about this game.

I forsee many drunken nights playing this game mode with my brothers, screaming "Get to da choppa!".

Ive been a big fan of the Aliens/Predator movies and have AVP for 360. Super stoked for this game!

Previous A and P games have always been a little bit "half-hearted" on the part of the developers, even if some have been amazing fun. This one looks like they have well and truly put 110% into it. Will be interesting to see if we can run competitions on Survivor mode, put pre-made teams against each other and see who lasts the longest ^^

The producers have worked closely with Fox studios to make sure the game is 100% canon. Some of the new critters created for the game have actually been added to the Alien universe as canon also.

AvP, not so much. Fox considers the games and films "fanfiction".

[Armoured Priest]

That I did not know. I wonder what has been added to canon then, and if there might be a list to see. 0.o

From wikipedia:

Described as a true sequel to James Cameron's film, the story of Aliens: Colonial Marines takes place after the events of the third film, Alien 3. At PAX East 2012, Gearbox Software's Community Manager confirmed that the game is considered an official part of the Alien franchise's canon by 20th Century Fox. Much of the main plot was written by Battlestar Galactica writers Bradley Thompson and David Weddle. The story is told through the eyes of Corporal Christopher Winter, a Colonial Marine who is part of a search and rescue team sent to investigate the U.S.S. Sulaco in search of Ellen Ripley, Corporal Dwayne Hicks, and the rest of the missing marines who were dispatched to LV-426. The Sulaco, and the derelict alien spacecraft from Alien as well as LV-426 itself will all serve as environments in the game, as well as other locations yet to be detailed.

Gearbox has stated that they were invited to speak with Ridley Scott and view the script for his Alien prequel Prometheus, insinuating that there may be connections or references to the events of Prometheus in Aliens: Colonial Marines.

I know the crusher is one of the new critters.
