Yeah, yeah, it's an arcade shooter blah, blah... But this is just dumb and out of character.
Yeah, true, but it's important to remember it plays like an arcade shooter, blah, blah, blah.
Plus it's fun!

This class was made to go against the Synths it seems, not specially for the Aliens, Drones, Warriors and Praetorians will still be able to go through the shield too, this will be useful to get attention of the Runners, but not of anything bigger
Sure, I can accept this shield being able to block Burster/Popper splash damage, Spitter projectiles, Husks, Synths, flames/fire, bullets etc. but it should offer ZERO protection against Warriors, Drones, Facehuggers, Praetorians, explosions and Crushers, while it should offer limited protection against Facehuggers, electro-shock damage, Prowlers, Stalkers and Runners.
... Man, this game is like the opposite to Alien: Isolation. I hope someone will mod the game to make it more scary and "realistic": No more super human Marines (lower stamina, run slower, limited combat 'dolphin' rolls, aid kits take longer time to use, acid wounds that affect the Marine's aim, mobility etc., can't push away/off Xenos that grapple you unless the Xeno has lost more than half of its health already), fewer but faster and stealthier Aliens that cause double the damage.

Literally one of the best stories ever put to print that features the Alien, the only thing to come close to Alex White's work, you punish only yourself by not reading it.
Weak Xenomorphs is an instant turn-off for me. Humans meleeing Xenos just make me lost any interest in the story. It's such a monumental break of character to me.
I mean, if you're gonna fight Xenos in melee with spears I'd say Alien: Sacrifice did it right.
