A few days ago Ikarop posted up 2 high quality versions of screenshots previously seen only in magazine coverage:
You can check out the second shot and the above one in full size in our forums. Another four screenshots have also been posted up.

Interesting pick up, Xenoborg.
But I still think my idea makes more sense.
And since we don't see otherwise see any water tanks...
Well they'd put it through a filter to get all the bits of poos and stuff out of it.
Would've like a barb more than a blade though.

You're right SM, it was probably a waste water system or something.
Reservoir I suspect.
No. Three levels. SB, 1 and 2. Marines enter through level 1. Ops and Medical on level 2. Water underneath sub basement level.
Aren't they?
It's a game though, what can you expect continuity-wise?
I will most enjoy blowing them to corrosive hell

Disclaimer: Rant.
Couldn't they make a virtually destructable environment using something like the Frostbite engine?? It might be possible with damage being restricted to a predefined "grid" throughout the level, meaning it melts things in controlled hunks wherever it lands. The melting could never go through the bottom "floor" of the level, the sub-Newt-kidnapper-basement with the sewer water or whatever the nasty crap was. Why was that under the walkway floor, anyway? And weren't they on the second floor, since that's where Operations was and they took the elevator down? Does that mean that there was some sort of wastewater river level in between levels 1 and 2?
Anyone remember the first Red Faction? You could blow holes through the levels because you were in a mine and had, sort of, seismic survey charges. It was totally awesome, PS2.

I would enjoy a Realism mode like Left 4 Dead, but with full acid damage and sadistic alien horror ghosting your motion tracker and hiding in the dark waiting for you to walk by so it can grab you with razor-steel hands slick with slimy fear. And if you were kept alive, you had to watch your character be dragged screaming back to the hive, stuck to the wall, forcefully impregnated through the face, then eaten alive until the newborn xenomorph erupted violently through your sternum. The controller should vibrate, or something.
And please make the pulse rifle really f**king loud. End.
Being a HUGE Stan Winston fan I must say I'm not thrilled by the 20 foot long tail and un-curved head structure.
Im also shocked people actually use avp as design reference! ADI can't make anything look right.
its good see the warrior in a bipedal stance though, i was beginning to think that since resurrection, all aliens regardless of origin was going to walk dominantly on all fours. i want to see more demos or trailers
Acid should still do massive damage but it shouldn't instant kill you unless say a Xeno is on top of you and a team mate shoots it.
then there's only one solution: don't let your squadmates die and you won't die.
the squad is everything.
Well if that 'appens, you're proper f**ked, Tommy.
But yeah - realisitic acid damage should be scaled to difficulty.
"You don't dare kill it."

I agree, in most games the acid damage is laughable. And even on hard settings you could pretty much shower in it and it wouldn't slow you down. This definitely needs to be remedied. Difficulty levels are the key here: they need to provide a balance for casual fans and hardcore fans. Developers need to make the hard settings be more authentic to the movies while the easy and normal levels would remain more forgiving.
It would be great, too, on hard levels if acid damage had varying crippling affects on the player depending on where it hit you, provided it didn't outright kill you.
Acid does need to hurt and be enough of a deterrent, but there has to be limits.
Could simply be that if the acid eats away your path - you're proper f**ked.
I'd still like to see what they come up with
