they are Hardcore CoD Halo fanboys everything else sucks you know :-)
but this Hicks is alive stuff make me a sad panda on the other side im realy interested to see how they pull that off
im pretty certain that what this means for the story is:
weyland corporation sabotaged the sulaco while hicks, ripley and newt were in stassis. this will finally put to bed the 'plot hole' of alien 3's mystery egg. it can also put to bed any notion of a 'super face hugger' potentially. it might mean one hugger got to ripley and a 2nd one came on the EEV unit.
but since it appears that Hicks could very well be alive, it means weyland kept hicks alive, and put some other guy alongside bishop, newt and ripley in the EEV unit, and had him killed or disfigured before the crash.
weyland then took the sulaco to Furina 161 (whatverr the planet was called) staged the 'crash' and rerouted the sulaco back to LV-426. began its re-work on the planet again to study the alien ship. picked up ripley a week or so later back at furina.
weeks later, a battalion of the marine core is sent back to LV-426, in a bid by the company i assume, to create some more xenos maybe?
im sure im wrong here or there, but im sure that for the most part, that will be the story.
