Just played the DLC up to the third chapter. My God.... the story did fit perfectly with both the ACM game and the movies. Some little costume and voice errors here and there but nothing that hurts the continuity. They pulled a decent expansion for a very hated game. I am glad they finished what they started despite all the negative feedback they received. Thank you Gearbox.
Btw... I think the reason Hicks has the acid burned shirt and then changes to a dark outfit and then back again to the damaged shirt is because the burned shirt is part of his BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) and did not have a spare.

Its not brief, but here is a rundown of the story...
Good summary. The only thing wrong is that it took 2 days for Hicks and Stone to arrive at Fury 161 in their spaceship... they did not travel for 2 days in the planet's surface like you posted. Stone even tells Hicks that he got a deck of cards for the 2 days long space trip (obvious Aliens reference).

I like how Hicks is relatively untroubled by seeing Ripley all facehugged. He's all kind of... "No. :|"
He was all drowsy and awakening from hypersleep.

Really? f**king really? Ripley somehow Ripley manages to survive acid damage from the Facehugger's acid splash (not to mention having a bullet put into her brain)?

Ripley's skull and facehuggers are now immune to pulse rifle fire.
Remember Alien...? Remember how Ash wounded Kane's hugger...? Same thing. The bullets obviously did not hit Ripley. Just grazed the hugger and the acid bursted out into the cryotube (there is an acid burn mark that Clements finds in Alien 3) and the floor , which the ship's computer thought that was an electrical fire (causing the cryotubes ejection into the EEV and its launch).

Why do they (the inhabitants of Fury) think the crushed body is Hicks's, I thought the warden read his dog tag (or his underwear). It's not like Fury could access the ships logs. If they were just guessing who the crushed body in the tube was in the movie, how did they ever figure it belonged to Hicks in the first place?
As far as I remember there were not dog tags nor underwear at the Alien 3 film. But at the begining there were digital images and information with computerized data of Hicks, Ripley and company. That could mean that the data was obtained from the cryotubes by the FURY immates somehow or that the Sulaco broadcasted the data as the EEV was ejected and landed on the planet. That's the beauty of Sci-Fi... is science, but above all, fiction... so anything is possible.

What happened to Boris? The only prisoner who survived in alien 3?
Who the hell is Boris? If you are talking about ROBERT MORSE you just #ucked up... big time.
