If it's not multi-player, then hopefully something awesome happens that causes this to happen in the single player, or whatever it could be.

I was thinking the same thing for a few times, but I stopped after trying to figure out who the crazies are.

Obviously the ones in the rubble. The marines being shot at have no idea what's happening.

I noticed the Pulse Rifle reads 99 on the side. :D Finally they fixed it!!
The acid in the Spitter Alien screen looks fixed and I do quite like the blue auroa surrounding the picture.

There's a pic from a magazine that shows what the WY spec-ops look like in this, they're nothing like marines.

I don't know what is more disturbing. To try to trade off old screenshots as new to the fans, or to be so lazy to capture a few brand new screens..

If I remember correctly, this game would be told in the Marines, Aliens, and Weyland-Yutani perspective. Probably W-Y Mercenaries.

How could they tell it from the aliens' perspective? There's no single player alien campaign.

I'm not 100% sure but I think I remember reading or hearing something about a short Alien campaign. If I'm mistaken well, wishful thinking.

There will be NO xeno campaign. This is NOT going to be like AvP 2010 or CoD showing different perspectives. Winter only.

Those eggs look kinda huge to me. I wonder if they are 'normal' eggs or off some kind of special alien. The ones in the background appear to be smaller.

I think that blueish haze and hue that you've been talking about which surrounds the pictures comes part and parcel with that 'grain' effect the devs have been boasting about which aims to replicate the old, grainy and gritty look from the ALIENS movie, which that 80s camera lens gave off.

Maybe they are like the Adaptive Hyperfertility eggs from AVP:Extinction that contain multiple facehuggers.
Wait.....giant Crusher Aliens, spitter aliens, and now multiple facehugger spewing eggs? This all points to one person......

No...they did mention several "perspectives" (including W/Y) in one of the magazines (the same one with the concept art of Weyland Yutani soldiers and the spitterz). Not sure what they mean though.
I thought maybe it would be like CoD with different characters, I mean, how else would they pull it off?
Oh, and, the "99" ammo count doesn't really work out well considering a lot of the marines are shooting, so there should be less that 99 bullets in their mags.
