So, I'm stuck in the part where you're at the ruins and have to find a way to one of the locked rooms with two civilians inside. How the heck I get there?? Been trying for an hour to find a way, but just cant find it. 

Thanks in advance! 

The one with the pressure plates? Just activate all the pressure plates and a cinematic will show you where to go.

Ah, righto. Thanks!

You have to go to the top of the ruins and go down the shaft. It will drop you on a pressure pad. There are two more at either end of the ruins.

Since their was no official help thread, so I had no choice to post here. In the second level in the Xeno story mode, I need help trying to get out of the room that you start out in? It looks like you have to travel inside the fan, but it's seems you have to find a way to get through it? Can someone help me?

[Huol]

Go in a vent on the wall.

[Ratchetcomand]

Try going inside of their, and seems like their is a dead end since their is bars that is blocking the way.

[Huol]

Oh that...
I got stuck there for a while, I don't even know how I got through it, I just found a vent on the side wall of a vent at some point.

[Ratchetcomand]

Ok I will try to look at level again, and see what I can find.

To get past (actually, to get away from) the huge fan, just sprint. It's dumb I know, but most people don't even think about it at first.
If you move normally you'll end up just like your fellow alien just a few secs before

I just played alien sp today when I finished marine and pred sp and If your talking about the fan that sucks you up if you crawl in the shaft use the focus mode to jump into the little crawl spaces.Taking a break for a bit cause playing as alien for an hour and a half made me nauseous so i'll back track to see exactly which one you are talking about in 30-60 min.

Hi,

  I am stuck trying to beat the first Alien hybrid (Just after the pyramid and you cryo sleep the infested soldier)

Thanks

[Jackal Turner]

Hybrid? O_o The only hybrid I can think of is the Predalien, and that isn't faught as a marine.

Unless you are talking about the Praetorian...in which case thats not a hybrid. The Praetorians are the queen's guards. They are just bigger, tougher aliens. Just shoot at it and run when it gets to close. Its not any harder to take down than a normal alien, it just takes more bullets.

On hard that guy is very tough

especially since he charges you once you kill off 2/3 of the other aliens. What I ended up doing was using my grenade launcher to knock it to its feet and then using the sniper rifle to put a full clip into it while it was down while i ran away from it. then rinse and repeat. Run around boxes while you reload and counter its melee attacks if its too close but keep as much distance as you can. Don't let it chase you up to the hall way you fist see it from, one you dispatch 2/3 of the aliens get out of that hallway before you are trapped.

That's the best bet. Nade's to knock them down are very useful. Keep your distance. They're powerful.
