Yes it is. The ending is a bit weird but she became a Queen with a "blue" skin or something like that If I remember right.

As a marine, do you face any Predaliens?

Are there any other special alien 'breeds' then the one mentioned above?

Why was the Alien just laying on the ground after the battle with the Predators?

do you get to play as a facehugger at the begininning of the alien sp campaign like you do in avp2?

[WeaN]

Pls answer this: Are the aliens so slow as we have seen in the marine gameplay trailer? Walkin' like grandma's.

This is the video btw: http://www.youtube.com/watch#playnext=1&playnext_from=TL&videos=LAwdu5T4WzA&v=_gjMbawjZ4E

Yeah but this video is misleading. Most of the aliens caught in the field of view of the player were trying to initiate heavy attacks, that's why they were moving so slow. That's the "grandma's walking" you're referring to.
Also, this was a very confined space.
Don't worry, xenos usually move and run much faster in game.

As a marine, do you face any Predaliens?

Spoiler

No you don't.

In the Marine campaign,

Spoiler

You only encounter 4 types of xenos : Warrior, Brown (Runner/spitter), Praetorian and Matriarch (Queen).

In the Alien campaign,

Spoiler

You move along and meet only 2 types of xenos : Warrior and Brown (you never actually get to meet the Matriarch in person).

Can't say about the Pred campaign since I haven't completed it yet.

Not sure about which alien you are referring to.

Spoiler

You might be talking about Six. After the fight against the Preds, the Marine player kills the Queen, which causes Six to be in pain and fall on the ground, making it easy for a few synthetics to capture her.

I'm afraid no. This was confirmed weeks ago, and having played the game I can second it.
But you get an awesome opening cutscene for the Alien SP. Trust me on this.

[EdFishy]

I definitely had more fun with the Marine campaign. It's longer and has a better pacing overall. Much bigger environnements and action sequences.
The Alien SP is so short it feels like a gimmick... or a big tutorial for MP.
I'm not done with the Pred SP yet but from what I can see, I have a feeling it's gonna go down the same road as the Alien's.

Do you often get to fight alongside other Xenomorphs?

Not really.

Spoiler

Only at the beginning when Six frees the other xenos, and during the Predator fight at the end.

Is Steam mandatory?

Can't say. I'm not playing on PC, unfortunately.



Guys I'm gonna be away for a while, but keep asking questions if you still have some ... I'll answer them soon.

[afrocat]

Me too. The only campaign I dont know about is the Pred campaign I wanted to play that for myself!
