SP DLC Speculation

[The Runner]

How about a Lurker-Bella specific fatality based off of how the Xeno in Alien took out Lambert. ;P

I would love a Newborn head-squeeze execution.

I hope the story mode dlc adds a Alien story mode or at the very least allow us to have all the preorder weapons.  I want to try out the sharp rifle real bad.

Looks like the pre-order limited edition and collectors edition weapons will be made available:

Aleks004 on the Gearbox forums has also found the following code/text in one of the games files:

I posted this in another thread,but i will post it here so you guys can see that Poppy is the SP DLC

[PecanGame.PecanGameInfoPoppy]
HUDColors=(X=1.0, Y=0.0, Z=0.0) // Chapter 1: Asylum
HUDColors=(X=0.0, Y=1.0, Z=0.0) // Chapter 2: Awakening
HUDColors=(X=0.0, Y=0.0, Z=1.0) // Chapter 3: Escape
HUDColors=(X=1.0, Y=0.0, Z=1.0) // Chapter 4: Redemption

Could this be Hick's story? The "Awakening" and "Escape" chapters might suggest so...

Got some more details on exactly what the PlayStation Blog was referring to when they referenced more content coming this week.

This Tuesday, the various pre-order incentives offered for Aliens: Colonial Marines will be available for PlayStation 3 owners in North America to purchase – other regions and platforms should receive this content the following week.

is this for pc and console users? What the heck is thistle, poppy, and sheep?

[p1nk81cd]

Sweet! Hope this four chapter content is good. Sheep? Are they using the unused Sheep alien from the early days of Alien³?!

Lolz, imagine it: last thing you see before dying is a killer woolly jumper with teeth and claws, bleating menacingly as it tears your throat out.

[slaysaliens]

I was thinking the Campaign DLC would be them turning back to get all the marines on LV-426 at the end of the game. 

[The Runner]

I am imagining using a sheep as xeno bait.


But why would someone pay money to see a sheep get horribly torn to shreds?

It's internal project names the developer uses. A:CM was codenamed Pecan. The DLC are named after plants: Sunflower was the Bug Hunt DLC. Fern was the Reconaissance DLC. Poppy will most likely be the single player DLC and Thistle another multiplayer DLC. No idea what Sheep could be - maybe multiplayer bots?

The information was taken from Steam so applies to PC but will most likely also be applicable to consoles.

Very interesting and intriguing. Sheep actually eat plants...

More like a grumpy face embossed on its rear as it reverses awkwardly towards you...

Apparently several new trophies have popped-up on the PS3 version. The new missions may hint at what the last single player DLC might have in store.

Thank you that will be all - complete stasis interrupted at any difficulty

I'm happy to disappoint you - complete stasis interrupted in ultimate badass

We're still Collating - Find all Stasis interrupted audio logs

I only need to know one thing - find your family

They can bill me - Destroy the Legato

I don't got all day - sever the umbilical without missing a shot

They're dead! Ok? Can we go now? - kill all lurkers in Sulaco engineering

Now what are we supposed to do - Escape the FTL ship

We are leaving!! - Survive the queen escape

It's the only way to be sure - Destroy all samples in the labs of the queen module

[HuDaFuK]

Huh, interesting. "Stasis Interrupted" to me implies it's a prequel set during when Hicks is woken up aboard the Sulaco, but then they talk about the Queen escaping too. Maybe a parallel story revolving around Hicks?

[ikarop]

I don't have a PS3 but it sounds legit. There's mention there to a few things I posted here a few months back. I also was told that there's a new WY ship that gets blown up which could be the Legato mentioned there.

Quite possibly, there's a computer terminal message accompanied by the female AI ship voice saying "Stasis Interrupted" during Alien 3's opening credits. And the rest of the missions sounds like part of the main ACM campaign near the end.

Wonder what the "find your family" mission is about? Could that have something to do with Newt?

What was the FTL ship called in which Weyland tried to escape? Didn't look like the Patna from Alien 3.
