Aliens: Colonial Marines is a First-Person Shooter developed by Gearbox Software, set in the Alien universe. Colonial Marines is presented as the "true sequel" to the Aliens film, and boasts authentic locales from the film universe. It features a story driven single-player mode as well as a four player co-op mode and multiplayer. A single-player Downloadable Content campaign, "Stasis Interrupted", was also released on July 23, 2013.Seventeen weeks after the events of the second film, a platoon of Colonial Marines onboard the USS Sephora are dispatched to investigate what happened, and subsequently discover the USS Sulaco drifting in space. After the initial team is attacked by an unknown entity, Cpl. Christopher Winter is dispatched to find and rescue any survivors of the original team, and quickly learns that a xenomorph infestation has taken over the ship. Together with his teammates O'Neil and Bella, along with other personnel onboard the Sephora, they are forced to land on LV-426 and quickly get drawn into a deadly conflict between the xenomorphs and Weyland-Yutani, who are attempting to harvest the species for themselves...The game was released across several platforms on February 12, 2013, and received significant criticism in regards to numerous bugs and issues. Due to the largely-negative response, the Wii U version was cancelled. A lawsuit was filed against Gearbox and publisher Sega for false advertising regarding the differences between the game's advertised features and actual content, with both companies placing the blame on each other. Sega agreed to settle for $1.25 million, while Gearbox refused to settle and successfully petitioned to be dropped from the suit in 2015.Despite all of the criticism, however, Gearbox issued a series of patches to bring things up to scratch, and the first DLC pack received praise for its content. Though the response is still lukewarm, critics were more positive to the effort and noted that the patching is a step in the right direction.The game has received several game mods built by fans, the most notable of which is TemplarGFX's ACM Overhaul. The mod, built by James Dickinson, is notable not only for improving aspects of the graphics and gameplay, but addressing an xenomorph AI error that was undiscovered for more than five years, caused by, of all things, a one-letter typo.A prequel, Alien: Isolation, was released in October of 2014 developed by Creative Assembly. It was made with a similar engine to Colonial Marines, but plays considerably differently than its predecessor, emphasizing atmospheric Survival Horror over simply shooting Xenomorphs (and given critical response, it seems to have worked). | |

Heroic BSoD: Played with. Winter and O'Neal rescue Reid while she's being dragged away to the hive by a group of xenomorphs. She initially refuses to accept what happened, keeps repeating the same line ("Thank you") over and over again, and freaks out while realigning the comm relay in Hadley's Hope, but she soon gets over it and calls herself a "badass" for rewiring the relay with her bare hands. | |

Continuity Porn | |
| Aliens: Colonial Marines (Video Game) / int_17b72e30 | comment |
Continuity Porn: Much like other recent video game sequels to film franchises, Colonial Marines is essentially an excuse to revisit locations and set-pieces from Aliens. According to Gearbox, the game is a "love letter" to fans of the sequel, and that they had access to original production assets that were screen-used, which means that many elements of the film are namechecked and/or seen. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Aliens: Colonial Marines (Video Game) / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: Many of the gameplay scenarios and clips shown in some of the early previews and trailers (including the sequence where Winter is knocked out of Operations by a xenomorph, then has to run to the vehicle bay to escape a Charger, or the shot of two starships crashing into LV-426) never appear in the game itself. These also show much better enemy AI, more detailed environments (including versions of ones that are in the game) and animation that works properly. The difference was a major source of criticism, and actually introduced legal questions regarding truth-in-advertising for those who pre-paid for the game in full and were delivered a substantially different product than was presented before launch. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Aliens: Colonial Marines (Video Game) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: In Alien³, Michael Weyland (back then simply known as Michael) was just an engineer that the Company brought in to gain Ripley's trust because of his resemblance to Bishop. Here he's one of the leaders of Wey-Yu, referred to as "the face of the Company", and is the closest the game has to a Big Bad (even though he only appears in person very briefly). This is of course a bit of a Retcon due to the reveal in AVP: Alien vs. Predator that the Weylands founded Weyland-Yutani. The Stasis Interrupted DLC shows that he is, in fact, no better than Weyland-Yutani as a whole, spending time during an interrogation to make it clear how little value he sees in human lives. His condescending attitude and callousness in regards to human life is what prompts Rick Levy, a W-Y scientist, to rebel against Weyland and help Hicks send a distress message to the Colonial Marines. Weyland-Yutani themselves. In the three films they (or their representatives) are featured in, their role is largely relegated to a "behind-the-scenes" benefactor who resorts to duplicitous or shady actions to get what they want. In Colonial Marines, not only are they willing to massacre civilians (in the Stasis Interrupted DLC), their own military or the Marines themselves to get what they want, but they set up a full-scale operation with a queen producing eggs for their own use. | |

Crapsack World: LV-426 is in even worse shape since the events of Aliens. Thanks to the destruction of the atmospheric processor, the immediate area around the colony is littered with debris, the xenomorphs have mutated and Weyland-Yutani have set up shop and are breeding even more xenomorphs. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Aliens: Colonial Marines (Video Game) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: O'Neil hangs one on an otherwise-apparent Plot Hole early on in the game — Weyland-Yutani, which is acting in complete secret, is conducting illegal experiments with xenomorphs onboard the Sulaco and in the Origin Facility, and their corporate logo is emblazoned over everything, from computers and video cameras to containers and entire buildings. O'Neil later points out that it seemed like W-Y wanted to be caught, given how bold they were with their corporate nature. A conversation regarding an otherwise-noticeable Continuity Snarl occurs in the opening cutscene, when Lieutenant Reid asks Keyes during their mission briefing why the Sulaco is back over LV-426 and infested with xenomorphs, several weeks after being declared missing, before Keyes disregards the question completely. The reason why the Sulaco comes back over LV-426 is only explained in the Stasis Interrupted DLC. | |

No One Should Survive That!: The subject of much dissonance in the Aliens fandom, is how did the colony survive the explosion when its Atmosphere Processor went critical in Aliens. As Bishop clearly stated the entire area will end up being a cloud of vapor the size of Nebraska. They escaped from a massive explosion in the second dropship, yet in the game, its all largely intact. | |

Point Defenseless: The Sephora attempts to return fire against the Sulaco, trying to disable the Sulaco's guns. As this happens, one marine companion comments that the guns "aren't that accurate". Both ships are within a few hundred meters of each other at most. In space terms, that is spitting distance. | |

Thrown Out the Airlock: The final boss of the game continues the tradition of dispatching xenomorphs the same way in the films, although it's done with a twist - the plan to blow the queen xenomorph out of the cargo bay on Michael Weyland's ship doesn't completely work, so Cruz sacrifices himself by piloting the dropship out (with the queen hanging onto it) while the larger ship is ascending through the upper atmosphere. | |

Stasis Interrupted assumes that players have already completed the main campaign, as it begins with Corporal Hicks shown alive and well (albeit, being tortured). | |

O'Neil hangs one on an otherwise-apparent Plot Hole early on in the game — Weyland-Yutani, which is acting in complete secret, is conducting illegal experiments with xenomorphs onboard the Sulaco and in the Origin Facility, and their corporate logo is emblazoned over everything, from computers and video cameras to containers and entire buildings. O'Neil later points out that it seemed like W-Y wanted to be caught, given how bold they were with their corporate nature. | |

Armor Is Useless: In Stasis Interrupted, facehuggers easily take out Wey-Yu commandos. You know, those guys from the finale of Alien 3 who wear thick masks specifically to protect themselves from facehugger attacks. But it's not really the commandos' fault; the facehuggers appear to have noclip enabled, as they clip right through into the commandos' masks. | |

Badass Normal: Cpl. Winter himself. In the first chapter alone, Winter heads into a hive in the Sulaco by himself to investigate (and subsequently saves a fellow Marine), fends off a xenomorph attack in the cargo bay, then manages to climb out of a depressurizing transfer bridge after Keyes blows it up. Later on, after he's captured and cocooned by the xenomorphs in Hadley's, he breaks out of the cocooning (something no one else has been able to do in the film series), narrowly escapes from the Raven, then sneaks through a horde of boilers to meet back up with O'Neal. | |

Justified Tutorial: The first mission begins with Winter being sent as an advance guard to rendezvous with two other platoons who are still aboard the Sulaco, then getting stuck when the umbilical bridge between the Sephora and Sulaco ruptures, and he ends up journeying into a hive. This has the dual benefit of introducing the player to several locales seen in the film, and acts as a basic primer for movement, equipment functions and combat (when the player must fight the xenomorph guarding Keyes). | |

From Bad to Worse: In the interim between the film and the game, the radiation from the destroyed atmospheric processor caused all of the surviving xenomorphs to mutate and become feral, the first team of Marines sent to find the Sulaco were killed, and Weyland-Yutani moved in and started experimenting in the derelict from the original film. When the second group of Marines arrive, their actions cause pieces of the Sephora to plow into the landscape of LV-426, and things just keep going downhill from there. | |

The Faceless: In Stasis Interrupted, although Lisbeth has her own character model, at no point in the game is she ever seen, as she only appears from a first person perspective. No other player character in the game has this happen to them. | |

| Aliens: Colonial Marines (Video Game) / int_7ef9fa03 | comment |
The game outright states that while you can remove a chestburster from a human body, the very act of doing so won't actually save the infectee, as the chestburster carries a mutagen that will kill the host regardless (due to shutting their organs down one by one). However, both the Expanded Universe and the relaunched continuity (post-Disney acquisition) show this isn't the case. In Aliens: Labryinth, Dr. Church survived being implanted with a chestburster in a dying Hive, while in Aliens: Defiance, Dr. Hollis survived doing the same thing (only dying in a separate surgery done to pull xenomorph biomatter out of her). In the relaunched continuity, Gabe (in the Marvel Alien relaunch comic series) was confirmed as the first survivor of a chestburster implanation, | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Aliens: Colonial Marines (Video Game) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: The surviving Marines from the Sephora who landed on LV-426 and were last seen at Hadley's are not extracted when Keyes, Winter, Reid, Bishop and Hicks use the dropship to get onboard Michael Weyland's FTL craft, and the game ends with said craft going into deep space as Bishop reveals his findings to Winter. This is despite the fact that Keyes tells Winter and the others to rescue them before he dies. Levy is presumably captured by Weyland-Yutani (along with Hicks) at the end of the Stasis Interrupted DLC, and is not seen or referenced in the main game, which takes place afterwards. While it's likely that he was executed by the company for treason, no mention is made of what happened to him. | |

Identical Grandson: Played with. Carrying over from AVP: Alien vs. Predator, Michael Weyland (remember him from the tail end of Alien³?) to Charles Weyland (from Alien vs Predator). But in actuality, he's an Artificial Human from the same model line as Bishop, just more advanced. Also potentially averted, given that the game seems to be going off the Prometheus continuity. Michael might be a descendant of Peter Weyland, but he's clearly not an Identical Grandson to him (unlike with Charles Weyland of the AVP continuity). | |

Rewrite | |
| Aliens: Colonial Marines (Video Game) / int_930a6407 | comment |
Rewrite: An Easter Egg in "Rampart" (obtained by shooting the pilot's head in the control room) shows that the Space Jockey/Engineer ship was downed by a craft similar to the one seen in the opening of Prometheus, despite the pilot shown laying dead from a chestbuster rupture in the original film. The game outright states that while you can remove a chestburster from a human body, the very act of doing so won't actually save the infectee, as the chestburster carries a mutagen that will kill the host regardless (due to shutting their organs down one by one). However, both the Expanded Universe and the relaunched continuity (post-Disney acquisition) show this isn't the case. In Aliens: Labryinth, Dr. Church survived being implanted with a chestburster in a dying Hive, while in Aliens: Defiance, Dr. Hollis survived doing the same thing (only dying in a separate surgery done to pull xenomorph biomatter out of her). In the relaunched continuity, Gabe (in the Marvel Alien relaunch comic series) was confirmed as the first survivor of a chestburster implanation, The Stasis Interrupted DLC retcons the fire in the Sulaco cryopod chambers as being due to a firefight, one that isn't heard or seen as the acid falls on the ground in the film itself. Likewise, Hicks is wearing a shirt instead of the bandages he had on at the end of Aliens, and a colonist from the Legato (Turk) inadvertently takes his place in the cryopod. Stasis Interrupted also has Hicks and Levy discover a xenomorph hive found via recently-excavated tunnels, which was not only unaffected by the atmospheric processor explosion, but existed independent of the derelict ship or the events that happened in Aliens. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Aliens: Colonial Marines (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: Although improved with both the March 2013 patch and fixing the "teather" typo in the ini file, the xenomorphs and the AI controlled marines started off quite braindead. A valid tactic for getting through certain levels involves simply ignoring the xenomorphs and running past them. Friendly AI also tends to be more of a hindrance than a help. They're more likely to block you or wander into your line of fire than shoot xenomorphs. | |

Hyperspace Arsenal: Colonial Marines does this in a very unique, unusual way. You actually carry every available weapon in the game at the same time, but can only hold 2 of them at once in your weapon slots. To switch weapons, you need to swap between your inventory and your weapon slots. The menu that does this does not pause the game, which discourages you from doing it in the middle of combat. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Aliens: Colonial Marines (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Several references to past events in the series occur: The player can pick up an audio log in Hadley's Hope that has a woman explaining the current situation in the colony, just before she tells her daughter, Newt that they have to leave. The player visits the Operations Deck (which has been partially destroyed due to the processor explosion) in two missions, and can see a number of elements shown in the film, including a table that displays a map of the facility (and is the only item that's still operational) - it's the same map Hudson used to locate the signals of the missing colonists in the film. You can finally discover what happened to Pvt. Hudson during "The Raven" - you find his cocooned and chestbursted body while escaping through the hive at the beginning of the mission. A short time later, the player can also come across the doll head carried around by Newt before her capture. When exploring the Space Jockey's ship for the second time, you can see one of the scanner drones from Prometheus fly past you and into a crevice too narrow for you to fit through. It's a blink-and-you-miss it moment, but does establish more continuity. In "One Bullet", one of the xenomorphs locked inside a room in the Weyland-Yutani medical facility has a translucent head and human skull, reminiscent of the creature from the original film. Shooting the Space Jockey head in "Rampart" results in a holographic simulation activating, which shows the crashed Jockey ship and a circular spaceship (intended to be the same craft that's leaving in the opening of Prometheus) shooting at each other in outer space. A burnt facehugger (presumably the same one seen at the beginning of the third film) can be found inside an duct in the Fury 161 map from the Movie Map Pack DLC. A log in the Stasis Interrupted DLC has Bishop explaining that Hudson enjoyed the knife trick he performed in the mess hall. Each of the Legendary Weapons is inspired by whatever gun the character it's named after is best remembered with (so Hicks gets a shotgun, for example). | |

Elite Mooks: Weyland-Yutani Elites wear white armor and helmets, are equipped with hard-hitting battle rifles, and can take about twice as much damage as the regular grunts. They still go down pretty quickly, though. In multiplayer, the Xenos have Boilers and Crushers, which have powerful special abilities but can only be unlocked by scoring a lot of points. In the Bug Hunt DLC, in later waves the regular Xenos become progressively more powerful; once maxed out, you end up fighting mini-Praetorians who can take a few dozen bullets each before dying. | |

Stupid Evil | |
| Aliens: Colonial Marines (Video Game) / int_affd30b0 | comment |
Stupid Evil: Granted, Weyland-Yutani, in their near-suicidal determination to obtain a bioweapon they transparently cannot and could never control, have always evoked this trope to a certain degree, but here they take it up to eleven, by declaring war on their own military to secure it. | |

Epic Fail | |
| Aliens: Colonial Marines (Video Game) / int_b4eff8a8 | comment |
In 2017, a modder named TemplarGFX discovered the cause of the Xenomorphs' artificial stupidity. What was this massive programming oversight, you ask? A flawed algorithm in the AI subroutines? A problem with the game's collision detection, maybe? Surely something deep inside the code, right? NOPE! Somebody misspelled the word "tether" in a config file. note Basically, the Xenomorphs are supposed to know the layout of whatever area they spawn in. However, because of the misspelling, the xenomorph AI subroutines did not get linked to the proper place, meaning the AI fumbled around blindly, unsure of where they were or how to get out. | |

Late to the Tragedy: Two different instances of this occur during the game. In the first mission, Winter is sent to rendezvous with two other platoons aboard the Sulaco, and discovers that a xenomorph infestation wiped out almost all of the Marines. Later on, Cruz, Winter, O'Neal, Bella, Reid and Bishop come upon the aftermath of the events of the film (which, in turn, involved Ripley and another squad of Marines arriving at the aftermath of Hadley Hope's last stand). "Stasis Interrupted" has Lisbeth wake up onboard the Legato as it's being attacked by a Weyland-Yutani cleanup crew, who are executing all of the civilians. The rest of the mission is spent discovering what happened after the fact. | |

Series Continuity Error | |
| Aliens: Colonial Marines (Video Game) / int_ca95473c | comment |
Series Continuity Error: Despite pre-release claims that the game would tie heavily into Aliens, the game is riddled with continuity errors. Notable examples include the recreation of the finale of Alien³ usingthe game's balaclava-clad Wey-Yu PMC model instead of the masked apesuit-wearing commandos that appeared in the film, despite using the very same model elsewhere. Or the fact that the Sulaco's hangar is less than half the size it should be - in a case where their research worked against them, they based it on the original set blueprints, but forgot to actually watch the film and notice that Cameron makes it look significantly bigger with careful blocking and a matte painting. Likewise, the cryotube room has only half as many tubes as in the film - they used the set blueprint and once again didn't notice that Cameron used a mirror to make the room appear twice as long. | |

Taking You with Me: In the first chapter, Winters and Keyes are heading back to the Sephora across the umbilical bridge after retrieving the Sulaco's flight recorder. Keyes almost makes it across the bridge...before he starts contorting due to a chestburster beginning to emerge. He dies pulling the pin on a grenade as the creature explodes hissing and spitting gore from his rib-cage. The Boilers, who use this as their main method of attack. Much like Ripley's response as she's falling into the lava, Lisbeth grabs her own chestburster and holds onto it as the Legato explodes in the Stasis Interrupted DLC. | |

Reckless Sidekick: Keyes. He blows up the dropship with a grenade trying to frag some aliens that were near it, then when a burster comes out of his chest he blows himself up with another grenade, which almost gets you killed since the two of you were in a deep space umbilical tube at the time. It's clear that, far from being a Heroic Sacrifice, his little stunt was much more of a threat to you than the chestburster would have been. | |

Artificial Brilliance: Due to a patch released in March 2013, the AI has been much improved, catapulting the xenomorphs from moving targets on firing range to a truly horrifying threat that can and will kill you. As a result, the Recruit difficulty is now considerably harder than Ultimate Badass used to be. In 2017, a modder named TemplarGFX discovered the cause of the Xenomorphs' artificial stupidity. What was this massive programming oversight, you ask? A flawed algorithm in the AI subroutines? A problem with the game's collision detection, maybe? Surely something deep inside the code, right?

Weld the Lock | |
| Aliens: Colonial Marines (Video Game) / int_ef988291 | comment |
Weld the Lock: Characters will often weld doors shut behind them in an attempt to hold off approaching xenomorphs, or cut through the lock to gain access to otherwise-unavailable areas. | |

Why Isn't It Attacking? | |
| Aliens: Colonial Marines (Video Game) / int_f566c6dc | comment |
Why Isn't It Attacking?: In Stasis Interrupted. When Lisbeth hides in a storage locker aboard the Legato, a xenomorph approaches it, hisses at her and goes to another locker, where it eviscerates the man hiding inside. She realizes afterwards that it didn't attack her because she's carrying a chestburster. | |

No-Gear Level | |
| Aliens: Colonial Marines (Video Game) / int_f7d66b6f | comment |
No-Gear Level: During "The Raven", Winter loses all his equipment, and must navigate through a xeno-infested sewer by stealth alone. Fortunately, the Boilers in the sewers are blind and navigate entirely by sound, which makes stealthing past them possible. The first half of "Awakening" in the Stasis Interrupted DLC has Lisbeth having to sneak past turrets, Weyland-Yutani soldiers and xenomorphs. | |

| Aliens: Colonial Marines (Video Game) / int_f8f30ffe | comment |
Level in Reverse: In the last two missions of the Stasis Interrupted DLC, Hicks and Levy travel through a similar route that Winter and O'Neil take in the latter half of the main game (communications tower, Queen's holding pen, Derelict, FTL ship), except in reverse. | |
