Aliens: Colonial Marines is a 2013 first-person shooter developed by Gearbox Software and published by Sega for Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Based on the Alien universe and set shortly after the events of James Cameron's 1986 film Aliens, the game follows a group of Colonial Marines, a fictional military unit, as they confront the Weyland-Yutani corporation in an effort to rescue survivors from the Sulaco spaceship. The game features a campaign mode and a Multiplayer mode.

first QTE is impossible.

I installed the overhaul mod and this extra mod that claims to patch it due to crashes the current overhaul version had because I though it might fix the issue.

That Lurker that jumps on you after you try to torch Keyes at the start of the game jumps on me, I am told to spam E, I die anyway and sink through the floor then respawn. This Quick Time Event is impossible for some reason. Vsync has not helped either.

Edit: I did a fresh install, loading the game past the main menu resulted in crashing. Installed the mods and now it works. I believe the solution to my problem was needing to load the game without the mods first, closing it, installing the mods and then continuing.

Perhaps a fresh boot with the overhaul already installed results in some previously unknown missing data.

Edit 2: On a reload, I had the same issue again. After a few retries, I pressed E (the button required for the QTE) slower, attempting to match the speed of the graphic and the kill animation didn't play until all my armour was drained and I had lost a bit of health when before I would have a bit of armour left when I died.

Doing this a second time, I succeeded the QTE. Just did it a second time too. I guess you can do that QTE too fast for the game to register.

Anyone else enjoy these Kenner action figures in their youth?

As a kid, I had so many of these. That being said, I’ve started on my path to collecting e writhing that I’ve lost. It’s been a blast of a good time. What I like most is that I’ve already played with these as a kid, so the urge to open them is pretty much non existent. I just really enjoy gazing at them as they looked on their store shelves. Hopefully after a few more, I might end up buying a few wall pegs to hang them on. Sorta similar to a store wall peg design.

Did you guys have these and if so, what was your favorite?

Aliens: Why didn't the Colonial Marines use a Drone/Probe?

In Aliens, why didn't the Colonial Marines send in some sort of Probe/Drone into the Atmosphere Processing Plant (APP) to check things out after learning that all of the Colonists PDT's are apparently grouped together in there? After all, it is a completely unknown situation in a tight quarters area that they know very little about so why send your entire platoon in at once, bunched up together, in a building none of them are familiar with, it makes zero tactical sense. Again, Gorman may be raw, but building clearance would have an SOP that he’d know. We see him crisply snap out orders when they go into the main building, after all; he knows what the regs call for. And since Marine infantry doctrine apparently relies heavily on overwatch by the CO based on body cameras, the instant they started having communication problems, they should have pulled back or at least paused to figure out a solution or work-around. So, why didn't the Marines just send in some sort of probe/drone to scout out the APP, gather data and see what's going on without risking the lives of marines? If the Colonial Marines have the ability to traverse space, then they must have the technology and equipment for something like a drone/probe. Through it, the marines would know about the fate of the colonists, that they are all stuck to the walls in some sort of "secreted resin" with their chests blown open and are dead. The drone would also have advance sensors and would have multiple different imaging/visions and spectrums to see in, possible allowing it to see the Xenomorphs with a high chance of success. All of this information could be safely gathered from the operations center in Hadley's Hope. After that, the Marines could then dustoff and nuke the ENTIRE SITE from orbit.

Game Won't Start

Hi!

Bought the game, it works without the Templar Overhaul Mod V6. I did a fresh reinstall and added the mod, I cleared out the MyGames documents too, and started the game. It just shows a splash image and then nothing happens.

Any help would be great!

Colonial Marines RP Server!

- Colonial Marines: Umbra Venatura!

Within Umbra, we offer a literate roleplay server for those wishing to step into the universe created by Ridley Scott & James Cameron! Our server is a celebration of both roleplay and the beloved Aliens franchise, which we take care to accurately stick to the lore of.

Umbra Venatura is set within 2183, four years after the events of Hadley's Hope and the disappearance of the USS Sulaco and USS Sephora. Chaos has spread throughout the galaxy, as the UA is poised for war and levels the blame for both missing ships onto it's political peers. Colonies disappear every day; silent transmissions tell the tale of a creature with acid for blood spreading throughout the frontier.

You wake up on the UAS Avellano, a new vessel christened within the USCM - Funded by Weyland Yutani and crewed partially by the engimatic Company. Claxons scream throughout the decks, a call to arms for the various cohorts stationed aboard the Avellano. It's another day, another operation; and you aren't getting paid by the hour.

    • We offer a variety of roles and experinces for those interested in the universe created by Ridley Scott!
    • Numerous roles throughout the USCM, alongside it's Canadians and British allies; the CCAF and RMC! From officers to simple privates looking to make it through their contract.

    • Roles within the illusive company, Weyland-Yutani. Scientists, technicians, cooks, joined alongside by insidious directors and Special Service agents looking to fatten up The Company's earnings through any means possible.

    • Movie Nights! We have movie nights to stream various sci-fi and horror movies; as we equally love both genres.

    • Game Nights! We have Fireteams, Colonial Marines and Aliens Versus Predator as games we frequently play with one another! Community is something important to us.

    • A friendly community and staff team, with small scale, personalized events that explore the various themes of Aliens! Exploration, action, horror, we offer it all!

Something I have noticed with the campaign and Status Interrupted

Okay, this is a bit of a rant but last night I decided to watch Alien 3, and the thing is it says that Hicks didn't survive the crash... so does that mean the game's story isn't canon, did the creative team only watch Aliens as research for the game or is the first draft of the Alien 3 screenplay better fitting to the campaign?

Kill Count

Greetings!

I am in the current process of making a personal list of games which have a kill count in them, and my seemingly neverending journey of inquiring about this topic across Reddit has now brought me to this particular game...

So, is there any reason for me to add this game to my list? Does this game have a kill count, alongside other statistics, featured in it?

Thank you in advance.

Is the Colonial Marines only for US?

I'm trying to figure out if the USMC is just for US folks. I'm making a costume and it will basically be a light flight jacket with the patches but I want to use a German flag patch instead of US flag. If I recall everything kinda of merges in the future, so was wondering if you can be part of the USMC but from another country. I thought one of the characters in alien fire team had the USMC patch on one shoulder and had a flag on her right shoulder but it wasn't the US flag. I thought I'd ask fellow fans if they knew what was cannon on this.
