Bugs aside, this is the Aliens game I have wanted since childhood.

[apex]

Being an ultra Alien fan, I took the gamble (after Colonial marines....) and got the Deluxe edition. 100%, NO REGRETS. Very happy with this game - while Isolation will always be the premiere Alien universe game in my heart, we also needed a game like this to live the power fantasy of being a bad ass marine. I'm so pleased with this game - it's basically what i've wanted since I played the side scrolling Aliens arcade game with my dad in the early 90's.

They need to keep supporting this game. Add some new campaign missions. Big bosses and creepy stuff, this game is fun but it can be way better

[BigMobe]

Melee attacks can dislodge face huggers without doing friendly fire damage
Dancing back in forth while shooting in front of teammates on higher difficulties will result in friendly fire
Stay close to your team, never to far ahead. If they get into trouble you cant help them. If you get into trouble then they are at risk saving you.
Always keep the technician turret between you & enemies. If you are in front of it then you take the damage instead of it.
Continuing a campaign will carry over any consumables picked up in the previous mission
When possible funnel enemies into narrow areas. Being attacked from all directions is bad.
Do not attempt to tank damage from enemies on higher difficulties. Keep falling back until they follow you into an area you can ambush them from.
Usually its best not to play the same kit as someone else on your team.
Having Doc on your team is not an excuse to act like an idiot expecting him to always heal you.
Cryomines are the best consumable
Focus on hitting weak points when possible to save ammo & bring down enemies faster
Acid based attacks happen way too often & do way too much damage. Timing is key for attacking spitters & bursters since they are the devil.

This game is soooo much better than the big reviewers are saying!!!! Its repetitive, non stop carnage, the storys non interested but guess really really good stuff

[Gamehighlight]

At first it seems a meeh game but it is relly good, i'm hooked and you will like it if you are a true ALIEN fan, of course it is not perfect but I'm sure they will improve it ...but maan when you hear the scanner sound and the iconic Alien weapon sound :) what do you want more ?? 9/10 RECOMENDED

[rickc-arelsii]

I've been working my Doc up through the levels, I haven't even started the other classes as of yet. I'm really liking that class, nothing wrong with the others, I just feel all "Dietrich" at the moment. It has been fun so far. Thanks for the informative videos. I'm sure this one will be beneficial to many people thinking of playing as well as those who already are. Slán.

[ghillie]

So far I'm liking the game Technician Electric bombs are truly life saviours

[bdr]

Since the game launch Lancer and Phalanx classes have been added, both are decent classes to play. Phalanx can be quite useful especially if you raise your shield because it helps alleviate some of the damage coming from in front of you, and you can use the shield to melee bash enemies, not a great long range class but quite devastating in close quarters. The only thing I hate about the game is when you get an idiot player on your team that tries to speed run through the game and gets way ahead of you causing you to get swarmed by xenos, it's called Fireteam Elite for a reason hence the key word being TEAM. Sticking together helps win the damn levels.

[junireynoldsiii]

loving the game! wishlist: a crouch button, customize the skins colors of all our gear like changing the camo and stuff or being able to choose long sleeves, short, etc. making the eye lwear separate from headwear, adding a cigar in the mouth, the option to have just a moustache (trying to recreate Apone here if ya havent noticed) also the ability to let us create our own class. being able to customize each class as different characters (like Recon customized as apone, demolished customized as drake, gunner as hicks, tech as hudson, etc) an aliens (1986) dlc content

[dynamicphotography_]

Playing this game after 6 months of Witcher 3 with the two expansions has been such a good experience. Mindlessly running and gunning and not having to manage tons of stuff has been awesome.

[ezrazermeno]

They even have the Marine facts on point. The 1348 had me dead.

[brocroom]

you forgot to mention that the caches make a low humming sound that can help you find it

[dimoslaros]

Excellent game and experience. This is what the fans wanted from a Colonial Marines game set into the Aliens universe.

[edwardbromley]

My brother and I sat down and beat the campaign on standard in one session. Haven't done that since we were kids, ton of fun

[billynair]

Something they didnt say (and my friend cant hear because he uses crappy speakers) is the Hidden Cache has a loud pulsing hum. You can hear it from about 100 M, but it kind of blends into the background sounds.
Once you get used to it, its very noticeable. Next time you find one, dont open it right away, listen for a few seconds and try to memorize the sound, even run around that room and see how far away you can hear it from

[Predator]

One thing that has eluded me all game is where certain weak points are. The Head would be obvious, Runners, Bursters, Warriors, whatever. But Bullets visibly bounce off a Crusher's head, indicating that maybe all the damage isn't getting through. Kinda wondering where I should be shooting those bigger things. They go down fast enough, but I think they could go faster if I knew where to hit it. Especially where I don't have player team mates to back me up most of the time.

[redbeard]

It's not perfect and it's basically just Gears of War - Aliens Edition, but it's decent fun in my opinion.

[killedbymyangels]

I spawned in with a cache to my right of me in the first room of the mission. Normally it’s in middle or even end of a mission. Definetly keep your eyes open

[sikevillain]

Gunner main here.. Going commando style is always fun imo . definitely trying demolisher next
