Several online retailers including Gamespot and the official Sega store have released new pre-order details for the digital version of the upcoming videogame Aliens: Colonial Marines, revealing a brand new Colonial Marines weapon called the S.H.A.R.P. rifle. According to the blurb: “Customers who pre-order Aliens: Colonial Marines will receive “The S.H.A.R.P. Rifle” free. As referenced by Hudson in Aliens™ the prototype sonic-harpoon artillery remote projectile (S.H.A.R.P.) rifle fires time-delayed, explosive-tipped darts that embed themselves into enemies or terrain.”
Additionally, a good number of concept art images from the game featuring Hadley’s Hope among other scenarios have been posted online over the past few weeks. Make sure to check out the gallery after the cut if you missed the new material.
Update 29/11/12: A new brief clip titled “Concept to Game” has been released today in which we can see some of the art pieces linked above in video & 3D form. You can watch it here.
It is too far. These Ball Breakers he was talking about I assumed they where some kind of serge protector.
Something tells me that based on your spending record you will buy this one too.
It's not just a spear gun, It's like a torque bow, still pretty silly but c'mon we went there as soon as Hadley's hope survived.
I do like this rifle though. Might be fun in single player sniping bad WY guys, or whatever.
"What?"
"Some Predators..."
"I know, I know! But... Look, I know it's tempting, but..."
"And one of those... Combistick things... Dude, those were awwwesome!"
"Is 'combistick' even a real word? Don't normal people just call those 'spears'?"
"Shut up! I want one! Let's... I know! We'll give the Marines one!"
"Well... Heh... I dunno', how would we get away with-"
"We'll make it look like a gun!"
"A gun which fires sticks?"
"Uhh... It'll be a big gun!"
"Could it look... Chunky? Like a brick. Chunky is futuristic."
"You couldn't even lift this thing up!"
"Yeah! Let's do it!"
Let the butthurt flow through you

Gearbox you god damn morons!!!! How could you screw up such a simple idea so spectacularly?

Thanks for fixing thread mods.
Quite. He meant it as a joke. But then - this is Gearbox we're talking about after all....
It is indeed a cool looking gun - if somewhat unwieldy...
