And again, careful word choice would've mitigated a lot of the justified rage, I think. If GBX had someone saying the right things and doing damage control, things such as "the single-player campaign is going to be an authentic sequel to Aliens, but the multi-player will introduce some new concepts and gameplay elements for the sake of playability," or something like that.
I'm afraid, though, that they aren't saying that because all of these Kenner aliens are not only in the single-player, but may play a major role in the story.

Ahhhh GADDD...

We just need a dedicated Smoker (for the tongue, not the smoke cloud), a charger, a jockey, and a witch.
They could use the Runner as the Jockey infected, a "Lasher" frog-tongue alien for the Smoker
In my experience, playing on Xbox has been alot like what ye are describing, while on pc for the most part people are fairly mature except for the odd griefer.
Pretty much... Sad, really, because when you do manage to find someone who makes an effort, it's a really fun, rewarding experience.
Glad I could provide.
Your experience clearly differs to my own.
If your experience has been more positive, I'm glad for you, but it's very rare I've ever found anyone wanting to work as a team; whether on public servers or just private games. There's just something very weird about activating multiplayer, which seems to cause otherwise intelligent people to turn into Leeroy Jenkins clones, in my experience. Everyone just runs around and burst into laughter when they can create the most confusing mess of things. If that makes them happy, good for them! But it's honestly not something I find the least bit entertaining, much less fun.
You're nearly as bad as that one person that tried to argue with me about the movie Prometheus when he hadn't even seen it yet and had done literally no research on the film prior to it.
The obvious pointed me to ask the question since I already asked it to myself.

It's a fact that Gearbox has stated they're trying to give the audience an authentic experience.
Authentic does not include changes to design and sound, including extreme alien variants, and fiddling with the timeline of events as they occured in the original trilogy.
I could give a shit about "canon." The world authentic as Gearbox has been using it, refers to the replication of the atmosphere, design, and nature of the movie Aliens. When you change the formula in the extreme, you dissolve the authenticity. That is a fact of art and design, not an opinion.
Also, if you're going to say "you're wrong" it's generally best course to explain why. Especially when someone brings up a legitimate point and you basically ignore them.

Technically they are close to canon since it's been greenlite as canon by FOX itself.

Don't ask me, ask yourself.
What is then the authentic experience?
Please tell me, I want to know it sooooo much
Well that's your opinion and I respectfully disagree.
No, just no.
I try to count on a hand how much time concerning something related to Alien/Predator/AVP I've been wrong before it was released and this is as close as possible to 0.
I wish A:CM could have been the exception but the more they show us, the more I dislike.
Your argument is anyway invalid since some people are doing the opposite.
Kinda proves that it is possible to judge before a release.
Now that you agree or disagree with this people is totally subjective and isn't a truth.
might want to rethink that.
left 4 dead, counter strike, planet side 2 just the first to pop in my head. i rarely play these games without a team that communicates.
left 4 dead is a good example since aliens co is some what of a clone. when your on a team with four infected that use strategies, you are much more effective than four infected just charging in hoping to do damage.
smoke/death charges are a perfect example of tactics, and i can see aliens co marines really require some tactical hits.
when your just playing a public game, yeah your mostly not going to find tactical game play. l4d2 is an exception because the game is 4v4, kind of forcing your team to work together.
their are plenty of competitive communities for many games.
the trailer was alright.
the smog effect would be alright, if only one class could use it. say only the lurker was able to use smog.
and this has to be console gameplay, the multiplayer demos looked much better graphically.
did anyone else notice the spit effect at 1:19? the spit is coming from the aliens chest and goes through its mouth.
the lack of animation in the marines is better disappointing.
still have high hopes for this game, but im predicting it wont entertain me for very long. luckily crysis 3 comes out a week later.

That was awesome.
From my easily amused mind to your computer...

That doesn't really promote team work. If anything not having that exact information would help push marine players closer together to avoid picking up rogue blips.
You want to make the marine team work closer together, and also avoid retarded alien bullsh*t? Simple. Very simple. Adopt the strategy of game mods like Front Line Force. Being close to your team mates grants you certain percs. (Better weapon accuracy, better movement speed.)
Keep it up. It's really clever, and not at all what most people are complaining about. Gearbox wants to say "we're giving you the authentic experience" and then they toss in a bunch of crap. Those two things are not compatible concepts.
Same with the alien team. Gameplay that was designed to build tension and fear while naturally promoting teamwork.
"But iz not Canonz lulz"
screamrage-quit.When they first announced the game they made it seem like there would be a big emphasis on squad play and teamwork. Kinda sad that they decided to drop it.
The Xenos were the focus since they were the ones who showed any sort of tactical strategies. Case in point...the smog, and also rampaging Crusher as the tank, keeping the xenos behind it safe and sound until they are ready to f**k shit up. Spitters on the high ground attacking the marines...

i thought they removed the sex scene?

I do agree that 7 billions people should have watch avp-requiem to say it sucks.
That way, we would have get an even worse sequel with giant dinosaurs aliens but we would all be happy because we could all judge that this movie sucks because we all saw it.

...and do we honestly need any more proof the Aliens are too f***ing small in A:CM. I mean COME ON. For f***'s sake, GBX... shame on you.
The Alien smoke screen skill is just plain dumb. From a gameplay stand point, I guess it kinda makes sense, but we're talking about Aliens here. It's absurd. There are better ways to do this without compromising the Alien mythos.
Now, ACID SPIT should've been a skill. Not some new glow-in-the-dark, "Hey! I'm over here! Shoot me!" Alien class. *face palm*

I do agree that people shouldn't go too crazy until they play the game.
It's a fairly solid explanation why games with higher graphics resolution tend to either be very short or very linear.
That argument is not really true or false. It's a broad generalization about video games.
