The upcoming MP DLC for Aliens: Colonial Marines, Bug Hunt, is available early to people who ordered the game through Wal-Mart and have redeemed the DLC code on XBL. Consequently, images and videos of the new content are appearing online.
The blurb reads: “Bug hunt is an objective based horde mode where accuracy and teamwork are key as you battle to survive 30 waves of increasingly challenging xenos and enemy Weyland-Yutani soldiers.”
More cam footage can be found after the cut. Thanks to Leppard1236 for the videos.

Jesus, why would they add the WY people when no one wants them around? So pointless.

Just played offline this morning...and I think I am addicted. Probably the best thing about the game so far.
What I liked.
-First level I chose was Tribute, awesome, straight outta the scene where the marines enter LV-426's colony
-You have to kill aliens to acquire cash, which allows you to go to ammo drops, health stashes, sentry turrets, door bypasses, etc
-How f**king hard it was. I made it to wave 4 before getting my ass kicked...ON SOLIDER MODE. This is definitely something to play with at least 3 people. The aliens were VERY hard to take down by wave 3-4. I was shooting grenades and they would go down and rise back up. It was wild and challenging.
If I did not have to be studying for exams I would have played all morning. I can't wait to boot it up with some friends. I know people are pissed at ACM and what not, but this DLC add-on is pretty good. At least consider getting this and not the season pass.
Hope to play with you guys eventually.
Quote from: newbeing on Mar 13, 2013, 04:06:14 PMI'm rather intrigued by this! I know most people were upset at the results of 6 years of development... but perhaps this is the redeeming factor. DLC can really help poor games (if the DLC is good) because let's face it: most awful (truly awful) games do not get any sort of DLC or support after release (aside from the initial patch that inevitably comes).Quote from: PRI.

Hearing this makes me really sad we never got scenarios like this in the campaign, like we were told we were going to.
Either way I'm excited to get my hands on it next week.

Still playing the mp, for what it's worth.

Yeah, it's great until about round 7, when the WY soldiers show up and are once again more dangerous than the Aliens.
I can only pray that the WY enemies aren't in every map. So far I've only gotten above round 6 on the Mercenary map, but I about threw the disc out the window once the hordes of WY enemies started showing up. Does anybody know if they're on all 3 maps?
This completely ruins the experience for me, and any immersion they managed to create by allowing a bit of dynamic play is gone once the idiot squads start showing up. I hate you, Gearbox, so thoroughly and deeply. I hope you go bankrupt, because the only skill you seem to consistently display is to take something good and f**k it up completely.
Made worse by the fact that this was actually fun up until this point. Ugh mah god, just dissolve your company and go sell cars before you do any more damage, Pitchford. You're a complete loser, and I mean that wholeheartedly.
Edit - Yes, the WY mercs are on every map. Nothing quite like bunkering down and sealing doors in Hadleys to prepare for a terrifying encounter with an army of space douchebags!
I hate this game so much.

i really don't understand gearbox, one of the biggest complaints from fans was that you spend more time shooting mercs than you do aliens. so when the time comes to make a stand-out piece of dlc focused on said aliens what do they do? I'm getting real tired of gearbox's S**t

Anyone who mentioned them wanting to fight WY-Mercs as enemy variety before release I am going to kick in the privates with cleats.
Hell, I wouldn't mind a few new alien varieties instead of huuumunz.

The Borderlands games are incredible, but I can see what you mean. But it's the same premise as Activision IMO. I don't like CoD but I do like Guitar Hero and Prototype (and a few others I can't think of atm). Some publishers are fantastic, some are garbage, and some have good and bad titles. I mean, what else has Gearbox done besides Borderlands that they're known for? I'm not looking them up, just going off my knowledge.

14, Tribute, Recruit. I feel the level difficulty thing is way out of whack. Even on recruit it can be insane. I made it to wave 4 on solider for the same level.
Wave 18, alone, Tribute. WOW. I don't think it's POSSIBLE, at all, to advance without help. I unlocked the operations portion of LV-426. This game mode is going to easily breathe life into the game.
Hope some of you guys are buying it.

So, you're asking people to BUY the DLC?! SO that you have a buddy in the game?! Yes, the incoherence astounds me! SO, what's the game plan? People buy the DLC, spend even more money, or better, GIVING more money to Gearbox so that you can get to the last level of a MP SINGLE level?! What happened?! Just because you liked a Co-Op level, you change your mind entirely and ask people to spend some more money on a pathetically flawed game, a game you so verbally scorned?! Make up your mind, Hudson! Because make no mistake, no DLC redeems a game! Never did, never will! And if you believe a mere multiplayer map saves an entire game, then you boobytrap your own credibility! The only thing that could breathe life into this game would be a new story, new AI, new gameplay, etc! And make no mistake, Hudson, you're being naive if you don't think Gearbox left this DLC out of the Retail package ON PURPOSE, so that gullible Alien fans would be suckered back into spending more money on this! But to each, his own! I have made the mistake of buying this game, but I believe that saying:
"FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU... FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME!"
