The next DLC has been announced!
QuoteThe Movie Map Pack, an all-new add-on for Aliens: Colonial Marines, is headed to PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 next week. The Movie Pack features two all-new Deathmatch / Extermination maps, one new Survivor map, and an all new Escape map. All maps are based on locations from classic Alien movies: Alien, Aliens, and Alien 3.
- The two new Team Deathmatch and Extermination maps feature locations from Aliens & Alien 3 - 'Fury 161' takes place in the run-down prison facility as seen in Alien 3, while 'Processor' puts you in the heart of the Alien hive from the Atmospheric plant in Aliens.
- The new Survivor map, 'Nostromo', features marines defending themselves against Xenos inside the iconic spaceship from Alien.
- The new Escape map, 'Exodus', is situated on the doomed Sulaco. Marines awaken from cryo-sleep and must navigate their way to escape pods whilst under Xeno attack.
The Movie Map Pack will be rolling out on all platforms beginning June 11th (June 12th for PlayStation 3 players in Europe) and will be available individually or as part of the Aliens: Colonial Marines Season Pass, a bundle that includes access to the previously released Bug Hunt add-on and the Reconnaissance Pack as well as an upcoming campaign add-on
why are the even bothering with it anymore?? there are hundreds of preowned copies everywhere now and the price for new has dropped dramatically!! does anyone play online? i tried a few times and it was all over the place. just wish i had bought it on steam so i could get a refund, havent even got very far in the game, had to turn it off in disappointment
no bug hunt....this is a good idea but im sure they dont even know whats going on on the online servers...curious about the nostromo and fury but...really??? freekin' sulaco?? we will be running around in the same shit levels as we did in the first few sp missions im sure or whatever on the other maps of sephora...why not derelict or getaway?
Sounds interesting. I have the season pass so will I be able to download it for free?
Ok I really like this idea, but I doubt I will ever find a game on these maps as NO ONE has any of the new DLC aside from bug hunt
Im gonna do a DlC night on this packs release and front page it to get some extra attention.
Ill make sure I can be there. Also, sorry about not being there the past couple of nights, been caught up in schoolwork.
Thanks Corporal Hicks!
Even though this is only another map pack, I am excited. These are the kinds of maps many fans were asking for. Survivor mode on the Nostromo has some interesting possibilities for private matches. Imagine playing with 2 marines vs 1 lurker and one marine has to use a pistol while the other only uses a motion tracker, or maybe 1vs1 with only a flamethrower. :D Customize your marine with no helmet or shoulder pads for added realism. :laugh:
I'm really looking forward to using the movie skins on the Processor map, as well. Next week should be fun!

Finally, another Escape mode map. I would definitely give it another go because of that alone. But the movie themes is a plus.

Nothing. If you know what I mean :laugh:
im actually quite excited for this new DLC if there is something gearbox nailed on A:CM its the atmosphere in mp ive felt my heart in my throat as i was running from a pack of aliens knowing that my chances of survival being the last marine were slim but still gave a great feel unfortunately ive lost some of my squad to them not being able to afford xbox live so if anyone wants to join me in some xeno blastin' adventures add me on xbox :D PredatorSquatch
Wonder how much there gonna charge me for this? ;D Sounds good. If theres any PS3 players feel free to add me as I haven't had a match with any of the newer maps.
Fack...I actually want this DLC...

sure i read it on here that steam are offering refunds due to the final product being nothing like what we were all shown?
In response to the bad mouthing this game has received its understandable; however the devs have owned up and made some seriously needed changes and tweaks to make AL(l)ENS worth playing!

MP on PC/STEAM version is not dead for me. I have added over 20 players from all over the globe I can have a game anytime I want...The servers are not flooded but I can log on now via my mobile and count random. I see 3 players online and that may be in different rooms. But if I was home I would be playing it with the ALIEN ALIENS and ALIEN resurrection/Alien Trilogy ost adding theme. XD
Also I have season pass + all addons overall I spent a pretty penny on this game and I have over 340 hours in game time (campaign sp playtime subtracted)....no refund needed...STEAM really saved this game for me because its so easy to add other players and see when they are online. add me on steam
UMF
Does anyone even still play this game online Anymore?
i play every day on PC via steam. I have a full game anytime I want XD
I have PC and ps3 version if anyone wants to add me.

Fury 161 level? *puts on hoping cap*
On a side not: does the PC version run smoothly on a low-grade PC?

Hi, Randy! :D
Topic folk, lets keep on it please.
at this point in time I'm really glad I didn't buy the season pass,I mean just adding maps works for games with heavy amounts of players but it takes me about 5-10 minutes to find matches now,like the idea behind it but the multiplayer is gonna be dead soon and unless it comes out for a very low price I don't see the point of buyimg it

Fury 161 level?
Wonder if it'll have a section where you can lure another team into and get them squashed in the lead mould thing.
Some '
Mass Effect 3' multi-player levels have something like that.
I'm hoping the Hive map from Aliens has two Smart Guns. One near the exit of the hive and one near the APC (which everyone knows will be there). One should be a regular Smart Gun and the other should be "Vasquez's" Smart Gun from campaign.
If you do anything right gearbox just throw as much references to the best scene in the movie as possible.
Yes all these maps are just dividing the low community. If anybody has the season pass on PS3 add me. My name is exactly the same as on here. Until the maps are released, I wont actively hunt down any other members who have the pass. But hopefully some of you add me :)
Imo, these movie map packs pretty much make the last one obsolete.
People still play this game?
This map map sounds pretty great, I'm really surprised that they included content explicitly from 'Alien' and 'Alien3' instead of just rehashing more 'Aliens' stuff.
Also if this is the third of 4 DLC packs, that means the next one has to be the campaign content, right?

Supposedly.
Forget campaign though, I'd rather have more bug hunt maps. Especially one set inside the hive from Aliens
Worthless since there's already no one to play the base game with online.
I guess this means the fourth pack will be the single player missions.

The one slightly redeeming factor of the game. I can't help but think they'd have sold more DLC if they would have made Bug Hunt part of the game and sold at least 1 BH map in each DLC pack.
Man, I haven't even thought about this game since beating the campaign way back when.
But, any chance to stand on the Nostromo gets my money. ;D
Hopefully I'll see some of you PS3 cats on Tuesday night. I'm FilmGuy808.
Season Pass owner signing in. 360 players, hit me up. Gamer tag is PRJ since1990
Looking forward to new content!! Love the idea of the Nostromo map!
Idea for a fun way to play the new maps:
1. Nostromo (survivor)
2. Processor (extermination)
3. Exodus (escape)
4. Fury 161 (team deathmatch)
Season Passer here... will get the new pack A.S.A.I.A.
BTW... I still can't understand how some people here keep saying nobody plays this online anymore. I still find people doing online MP matches (in the PS3 at least ...). ::)
Also a season pass owner for PS3; the most AWESOME multiplayer console right now... cause it's free. ;)
TDM is loaded with a healthy dose of players, but survivor, escape and extermination are at an all time low on the 360.
This sort of thing (along with bughunt) should have been in the base game. Not released six months after 90%+ of the games online population dropped the game.
Glad they're finally doing maps set on the Nostromo and Fury but is there any need for more Sulaco maps?

Spent 4.99 on the MS points to get it. A whole 1 player has the map pack besides me. Fun times
If you have the new DLC on PS3, Moosh89 is hosting a movie map pack community game night about 3 hours from now. It will be fun!

In the game, wishing I could get some Nostromo happening... it's 'Survivor' only, and people don't seem to be playing that mode. If you're on the PS3 and into some of that, add me: FilmGuy808! :)

Well, it did give me XP for exactly that, just walking around by myself! :P
These new movie maps are the best yet, IMO. My only disappointment is that they weren't included with the game at launch. BugHunt should have been included as well.
I have to say that these are my favorite maps in the game, fury 161 is a ton of fun, and the dead prisoners everywhere is a nice touch, but processor is my absolute favorite, it has the best looking hive map in any Aliens game to date, it also has the most atmosphere of any part of the game. Nostromo is okay, I just find it too small, I haven't tried the new escape map yet though.

The creation of new in-game assets for this map - the prisoners, hand torches, candles, world textures etc - give me hope that the final DLC may be a single-player campaign exploring events of Fury 161 either before the events of the main game, or after.
That's what I was thinking as well, I'd love to see some SP Fury
