a credible source? "Look into my eye."  http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/images/acmsmilies/acmsarge.gif

Journalists will write good and bad things. What matters is how you like it.

Also, the preview demo is a tiny portion of the campaign cherry picked for media with the sentry gun and the smartgun. How hard can the aliens be against that firepower? It wasn't meant to demonstrate the difficulty of the game.

It would be nice to have a preview of Ultimate Badass mode.  http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/images/acmsmilies/acmbugstomper.gif

Is there such a mode? Is that supposed to be like Doom's Nightmare difficulty?

Anybody notice the tissue boxes in almost every room in Hadleys Hope?
I'm a little disturbed and a little humoured by it considering that Aliens have penis heads.

I just found this fantastic video on Screwattack.com.

"Aliens are higher on the food chain than the Colonial Marines, and Gearbox wants you to remember that."

http://www.screwattack.com/shows/originals/random-awesomeness/aliens-are-higher-food-chain-colonial-marines-and-gearbox-wants-y

It seems that xenomorphs have the same durability as in Aliens. They cannot take a whole lot of firepower, but they can also kill marines in 1 or 2 hits.

This seems pretty accurate.

Also NPC characters seem to really have a relationship with each marine, and when one dies it will effect the whole group. Interesting. They can also do things like weild doors if you don't want to so they can do some things by themselves.

Also this may be old news but Moosh89's battle to get female marines in multiplayer gets addressed! The interviewer asks Colonial Marines' Senior Producer Brian Burleson about the fan outrage earlier this year about the lack of female marines in multiplayer and what Gearbox is going to do to drive the genre forward in that regard. Basically it is 100% stated that there will be playable female marines in multiplayer and you can customize them! Brian says that you cannot have an Alien game without women. Women are an important part of the Alien series, Ripley is the main character and Vasquez is awesome. He also says that they have an obligation to listen to the fans.

Cool stuff and a neat interview overall. I have never heard of Brian Burleson before but he seems to be really sincere with his answers and doesn't dodge questions. I like this guy.

My take on the the video I gathered that he didn't directly answer the question, rather he just said that 'at areas of the game' you will find that the other NPCs might do this for you. I don't think he said that you will choose to. Don't think its important either way, so long as you witness someone else do it. but  id think it be cool to get your marines to be 'your bitch' welder.

Im still not clear as to whether the other 3 members of your squad are marine bots and when if ever do they get replaced if killed. if you let a major character like Bella get killed in the start of the game , that will definitely affect the story so i don't think your main squad are any important characters.

Excellent find, thanks for the video!

I wonder if some marines will be better at certain skills than other as in Killing Floor. One marine could be really fast at wielding for example.

No. There are no classes.

No classes for marines works too, makes things more balanced.

WinterActual

Nah, it makes it totally opposite. Everybody will roll the same "class" which is useless. If everybody had different class this will help the team to counter different type of encounters while if anybody is just a rifleman or smartgunner this will cause much trouble.

If anyone has any questions, I'm free to answer them now. Shout up, I'll answer as best as I can.

Did you see the VP70 in the game? Did you have a chance to see the character customization?

That makes no sense.

WinterActual

Yes it does. Imagine the scene from BF3 and all the recent shooters where the teams are stacked with 15 people playing as 1337 5n1p3rRzz. Its the same. I've been playing tactical shooters for 10 years and I can assure you that a team of 4-5-6 men using different classes with different specialization is 10000 times stronger than team of 4-5-6 players using the same class/loadout.

I only got to play with weapon customization, no appearance stuff. I didn't see a VP70, but I know Gorman's pistol is one of the 'legendary' weapons you can unlock by finding his dog tags. He used the VP70, didn't he?
