"Spitter Alien" thoughts?

[Space7Horror]

The fact the A:R Aliens were mutants (according to the guys at ADI too), but that is irrelevant... the Alien in Alien3 was shown spitting, or at least emitting acid as a method of offense. It attacked Murphy that way.

It looked liked the alien got him with his his tongue I did not see acid

Then you need to look closer.

You might even need to slow mo it.  It's cut together very quickly.

I will try maybe its on YouTube somewhere. I like the idea that they spit acid it makes them seem more menacing but I don't feel it works well for some reason I thought all they spit out was the secretion to make there hives.

Doesn't explain Clemens' remark later about marks that looked like the ones on the cryotube.

Aaand you do see smoke. As SM said, you could go frame by frame.

Take note that the Aliens in A:R were genetic f**kups.

According to fans, and nothing else.

So tired of hearing this.

yeah, me too.

Any "in universe" explanation for these variants is an after thought to the L4D model they admitted to following.

I just hope the new variants have more purpose than simply an excuse to add variety and also fit well within the storyline.

Like the idea of the spitter alien. I mean any adult alien could spit acid some how. But to have it as its own class would help in multiplayer matches. As for how it is created will remain a mystery until the game comes out. I hope its limited to multiplayer.
