Over the past few days a series of fan made visual tweaks for the PC version of the recently released videogame Aliens: Colonial Marines have appeared online. Now we offer you a collection of additional visual enhancements and tweaks for the game which aim to improve your gameplay experience. These new additions include color correction, increased bloom effect, HQ textures, disabling the HUD in multiplayer, new Alien & Marine skins and more. You can click here to see all the new add-ons.
Interesting, but it's bit too harsh contrast for my liking. Neat look though.
I guess so, at least is says that people actually want this game to be liked and to be an at least decent game.
Well, to be fair, it's a fairly common occurrence in any game that can be modded even slightly. In the visual department, developers may find themselves more constrained than modders because of pressures to make sure the game runs on less powerful systems. They also have to ensure that all assets are of similar visual quality- one particular example I can think of is Dawn of War where a modding group released a Sisters of Battle mod that looked absolutely fantastic. Then when an official expansion came out, the Sisters featured in it looked nowhere near as good as the Sisters in the mod but the Expansions Sisters did look of similar quality to the rest of the factions in the game. Not that I'm saying the game looks great or anything.

1. The resolution is subed, i'm not sure but 1920x1080 is significantly blurry as if it were rendered in a lower res and scaled up.
2. I continued playing my game and for some reason viewing the LV426 sky makes the view a blinding white until you look back down to the ground or an area that is shielded from the sky.
At the very least, Gearbox should release the SDK to the fans now with a very public "Thank You" to the people that are stepping up do their job for them for free.
Whoops I only saw the other remove HUD mod. The other one did the trick. Thanks!
Theres a bunch of files in "\Aliens Colonial Marines\PecanGame\Localization\INT" where you can at least remove the names of the single player characters, or edit them. I changed ONeal to "DICKBUTT" but could easily have just made it blank.
you can also change weapon (i think) and objective descriptions (for sure) and marker names. Even the subtitles can be edited.

Good work Ikarop, though I don't think any amount of modding can save this game.
Other than making it reddish there isn't much we can do yet. I'll keep trying tho.
FINALLY - a way to get rid of the Alien's stupid green mist.
Can ANYTHING be done by the community to fix the game's horrid animations, AI, etc.?
Any chance of ripping those models for use in UDK/CE mods?
If Gearbox weren't the slimeballs they appear to be, they would use what the mod community has already done to speed up patching console versions so they don't look like a Queen-sized pile of ass.
EDIT: Its fine now.
