Drake and Apone will be using the voices of the original actors. Nothing else to share about returning characters at this time.

the four playable characters from the original 1986 movie are for competitive multiplayer -- not campaign.

From ChrisF at the Gearbox forums.

Just heard back about Collector's Edition and pre-order bonus content for PC.

For North America: Those that pre-order the digial download of Aliens: Colonial Marines from GameStop will receive the GameStop Pre-Order Bonus (Hudson, Hicks, Drake, Apone, Ripley's Flamethrower, Addtl. Customization Options) but there are no plans to release a Collector's Edition of Aliens: Colonial Marines on PC in North America. For those that don't pre-order the digital download version from GameStop, all of the in-game items contained in the GameStop Pre-Order Bonus will be available for purchase at some point after the launch of the game. I'm checking to see if the in-game items exclusive to the Collector's Edition (USCM Academy Firing Range, Phase Plasma Rifle, Sonic Electronic Ball Breakers) will be made available for those in North America, and will update this post once I have more details there.

For International: Both a Limited Edition and Collector's Edition of Aliens: Colonial Marines will be available PC internationally. In addition, all of the in-game items contained in the Limited Edition will be available for purchase at some point after the launch of the game.

Whoa...play as Hicks? I hope Michael Biehn comes back somehow. Looking forward to seeing the padlocked heart in game form. These will be great to go with NECA's marines.

Ripley's Flamethrower, Hicks, Apone, Hudson, and Drake?!?

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

That is SO awesome in addition to all of the other stuff too. Maybe we can get Vasquez later as DLC.

[King Rathalos]

Well, looks like I'm actually going to buy the collector's edition for this one.

[Deathly_rYaN]

Since GBX took the first three Alien films into consideration for A:CM, is it okay to hope for skins of characters from other Alien films?  I'd also like to see skins for Parker, Kane (in his astronaut suit no less), Dillon, and Andrews as DLC.

They took Resurrection into consideration with those cryotubes too.
