Great news there guys and (a confirmed ) congrats Moosh!
In other news, I found this YouTube vid posted today (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3TdDo3hVZ0#ws) which reveals that there will be 5 alien classes on launch; the lurker, soldier and spitter are standard classes available at match start, there will be 2 alien classes which require a xeno to 'evolve' into mid-match, those being the crusher and an unannounced xeno (anyone else hoping for the queen?). Beware there are some minor story spoilers regarding WY and the Sulaco, nothing too surprising though.
I saw that too and it will be good if it's a queen or praetorian but it would also be great to see a new original type of alien like the crusher.
I personally hope they include one of the already established xeno breeds like a queen or praetorian but I can't see that happening for 2 reasons:
1. The Praetorian, going off what I've seen, is not really on a par with the crusher in that it seems to small and similar in utilisation to the warrior/soldier; the queen on the otherhand seems totally overpowered compared to the crusher so could only be used if their different stages 'evolvement' if you get my meaning.
2. These 2 xenos (the crusher and the as yet unannounced xeno) may only be used if the player reaches an 'evolve' location. This concept of evolvement suggests that they are totally new and unique breeds of xenos only produced by the specific events which unfolded on LV-426, when the atmo. blew up, meaning that this will be similar to the crusher and spitter in that we have never seen it before.
I don't know about you guys but I find that disappointing since the only original, playable xeno sub-species we can play as are the lurker (giger alien) and soldier (warrior). They are missing out so many including the runner, praetorian, queen, facehugger & chestburster, and you could possibly even include the carrier and ravager aliens from AVP:E.
