Something really doesnt seem right with Reid.

[ACR]

The nugget deal...... What was that about anyway? Usually i'm a fan of jokes but..... I don't get it..... DX

I read something that stated this "nugget" thing is a carry over from something else one of the writers wrote. I dont get it either. : /

EDIT: here found it...  http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Nugget

Its amazing that they found time to put Aliens in this game at all...

Battlestar Galactica.....

Another slap across the mug by Gearbox, they are literally on a roll with these slaps..... >_>

[PsyKore]

I was hoping Reid would punch Bella in the gut.

[Xhan]

Yes, she had a different role.

At least she's still in the game, unlike Monday, squad leader who betrays you.

Woah, what??

The original 4 PC characters were Winter, Bella, O' Neil, and Monday.  O' Nneil is virtually unchanged, Bella became an NPC oh noes sad marines moment, and Monday, Winter's original ultra sarcastic sidekick who is actually working for WY was axed when tactical squad commands and the WY covert ops angle of the game were axed, part of which Reid played into.

slap

Nugget is used in Marine jargon, and it was inserted by Weddle and Thompson as a direct nod to BSG, so blame the Ex-BSG writers, not Gearbox.

[Snow Leopard]

Winter makes her scratch her favourite ship in the beginning

That was her only ship!

I assumed Randy just lied about them writing the story on this game and that they were never involved to begin with. = P

The mystery of Reid deepens...
These are the formatted contents of a file in the Aliens Colonial Marines\PecanGame\Localization\INT in a file called "VO_c_DERC65.int" Theres actually lots of alternate subtitle text in these files and some of it is really good!

But this... I dont even... No its not fake.

Spoiler

[O'Neal] How the hell do you plan on getting into that ship?

[Reid] I haven't figured that out yet!

[O'Neal] Right now would probably be a good time!

[Bishop] There will be no Cargo Bay entrances open.

[Reid] I know!

[Reid] Bishop. What if I blow the doors?

[Bishop] Likely it will then close up the inside to prevent a hull breach.

[Cruz] Then we solve that problem when we get to it.

[O'Neal] That's the plan?

[Cruz] We got no other options! We need to be inside before we breach atmo! Reid! Do it!

[Reid] Weapons hot. Two away.

[Reid] Brace for impact!

[Reid] Cruz! Somebody get Cruz, he looks really messed up.

[O'Neal] Reid! Reid! He's dead. You can't go back in there.

[Reid] He might be okay.

[O'Neal] Look at me — look at me. He's dead.

[Reid] Your arm...

[Bishop] There's a series of emergency air lock hatches for situations like this!

[O'Neal] Situations like this?

[Bishop] In a matter of speaking.

[Bishop] They're on top.

[O'Neal] Like outside on top?

[Bishop] Unfortunately, yes.

[Winter] Raider 6-5, we made it into the ship. En route to open the door from the inside.

[Reid] Please hurry, 3-3.

[Winter] We rescued you from a lockdown.

[O'Neal] On the other side of this door is Michael Weyland. If we're going to take down this corporation we have to agree that no one is going to harm him. No one.

[Winter] Agreed.

[Michael Weyland] Now, wait — wait. Before you do anything crazy—

[O'Neal] Hicks!

[WINTER] How do we get out of here, Bishop?

[Michael Weyland] Please. Please don't do this.

[Reid] I say you shoot the bastard in the face.

[O'Neal] We got 'em. Hicks, we got the whole company. Everything. Just put the gun down.

[O'Neal] And what a mistake that would have been!

[Michael Weyland] It's just business.

[Michael Weyland] I said, it's just business. We move product — we've been moving product.

[Michael Weyland] Did you really think we haven't been taking the eggs off of the planet before now?

[Michael Weyland] Bishop, come here.

[Bishop] This makes me uneasy.

[Bishop] I don't understand.

[Michael Weyland] You will in a moment.

[Michael Weyland] Ripley.

[O'Neal] God dammit, man. You didn't have to do that.

[Reid] Guys...

[Reid] He was a synthetic?

[O'Neal] Bishop.

[Bishop] Yes?

[O'Neal] What the hell did he say to you?

[Bishop] He said, \"I'm not the real Michael Weyland.\" So how did you know he was a synthetic?

[Winter] Guys. Where the hell are all the eggs going?

[O'Neal] We don't know.

[Reid] I do.

[Bishop] Where are they going?

[Reid] Detroit.

[close]

Apparently Reid really does know whats going on. :|

[thecaffeinatedone]

[Reid] I do.

[Bishop] Where are they going?

[Reid] Detroit.

Wow, welp all WTF aside...as a native michigander I must post this.

Found some more dialogue between Cruz and Reid shortly after the crash landing outside Hadley's Hope:

[CRUZ] I think it's safe to say that the United States Colonial Marines are at war with Weyland-Yutani.
REID] I don't think you can declare war on a corporation.
[CRUZ] And yet, here we are.
[REID] What the f**k, sir? Nobody declares war on Walmart!
[REID] What the hell, sir? You can't declare war on a CEO!
[CRUZ] Stow it, Raider.


And some more dialogue between O'Neal and Winter as they explore Hadley's Hope:

[WINTER] Hey O'Neal, come check this out. I think someone was living in there. Looks like it was a kid"
[O'NEAL] Yeah. There's nothing strange about a place where the children live in vents.  Hey, Winter, do your children not live in vents?

Looks like they maybe had Newts hidey hole in the game at one point?


And seems like Winter originally found Hudson's Pulse Rifle after coming across his corpse:
[WINTER] Damn. Empty. Guess you woulda used that on yourself if you coulda.


And finally the explanation for where all the Xeno's are coming from:

[Bella] How are there so damn many on the surface?
[O'Neal] Maybe they're like rabbits — Hell if I know, keep moving.

[ikarop]

Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff in there (and other files) for those who care to search for it. Like the dog collar, mentions to the APC turret (3:24), egg hunt MP mode, stim packs and health packs ala L4D2, etc...

[Aceburster]

Sifting through these files is like sifting through Hadleys Hope trying to piece together wtf happend lol. Truly captures the spirit of Aliens.  :

[Local Trouble]

How are we supposed to be able to tell the difference between nuked Hadley's Hope and Detroit?

[Aceburster]

How are we supposed to be able to tell the difference between nuked Hadley's Hope and Detroit?

By the direction of the rocks probably.

Extended/Alternative opening dialogue:

[Cruz] It's always carrots..
[Cruz] Full sit-rep will follow shortly; suffice to say, we wouldn't have woken everyone up if it weren't important.

Our Synthetic, Bishop here, is gonna have a quick look under the hood to make sure we didn't turn your brains into
oatmeal or nothin'. Floor is yours, Bishop.

[Bishop] Pupils dilating as normal...
[Bishop] Follow the light with your eyes please.
[Bishop] Name and rank?
[Winter] Corporal Christopher Winter.
[Bishop] Would you describe the sensation in your joints as \"unbearable?\
[Winter] Just straight to unbearable, huh? Why not a scale of one to ten?
[Bishop] Because I don't care about one through nine. Take two steps forward, please.
[Bishop] You are cleared for service, Corporal. Don't ask me to do the knife trick, I can see it in your eyes.
[Cruz] Winter! Two seconds. You did good today, Corporal. You were one of the only grunts not to puke on my shoes.
Talk to me after the briefing.

[Cruz] The situation is as follows: Seventeen weeks ago the Conestoga class USS Sulaco was reported destroyed over
the prison outpost on Fury-161. And yet, it's on the other side of our umbilical, not 200 feet away.
[CRUZ] Our battalion was dispatched to the secure the boat, and two recon squads were disptached to provide
actionable intel...then we shit the bed. Around an hour ago Rhino 2-1 and 2-3 encountered unidentified hostiles, so
we're sending everyone in. All non-combat personal prepare to aid with cas-evac, let's get our people back. Good
hunting marines!

[Cruz] Winter, two seconds. Follow me to the umbilical.
[Cruz] I'm sending you through the umbilical to link up with what we know is left of 2-1. The brunt of our assault
will be focused in the Stern Hangar of the Sulaco. You're going to aid O'Neal and 2-1 with cas-evac. Your my eyes in
there, kid.

[Winter] I'll find 'em, sir. Tell 2-1 I'm en route.
[Cruz] Rhino 2-1, this is Sephora Actual. Winter is en route to aid with cas-evac.
[O'Neal] Affirmative, sir. 2-1, out.
[Cruz] Winter, what the hell is going on? Raider 6-5, do you have a visual?
[Winter] — explosive decompression in the Sulaco —
[Reid] This is Raider 6-5, the umbilical is venting atmo, probably got another twenty mikes before a total collapse.
Looks dicey, sir.

[Cruz] Hold your damn breath if you have to, but get everyone back here in one piece.
[Winter] — continuing onto the Sulaco, Winter out.
[Reid] Sephora Actual, I pursued the debris that erupted from the Sulaco —
[Cruz] Those were my men you just called \"debris.\
[Reid] Apologies, sir. Just confirming — permission to speak in a torrent of curse words?
[Cruz] Go ahead, Raider.
[Reid] The creature is an unknown Xenomorph and it's an ugly mother f**ker, sir. What the hell are we dealing with?
[O'Neal] Winter — it's Winter, right?
[Winter] Correct. What happened here, O'Neal?
[O'Neal] Ah shit...they tore right through us, man. Most of Rhino 2-1 is MIA.
[Winter] We'll find 'em.
[O'Neal] You're on your own, Corporal. I got my hands full keeping these guys alive. I wouldn't stray too far from
the Hangar Bay on your own.

[Aceburster]

So Cruz isnt a total deuche to Reid for no reason and the "chicks and dicks" comment that the writer denied writing... isnt there.

We should petition for the original script lol...  I can swear this has all happened before. XD
