Hey Red, thanks for taking your time reading the post.

Ok, let,s start:

1. the giger alien is this a short form of somthing and is it from a movie or did you make it up

The Giger alien is the alien from the first movie.

2. Now you say that in round 2 the marines can't respond, can the aliens and also why can the Android respond then (or was I reading it wrong)

can,t respawn you mean?, if so, then yes, the marines will not be able to respawn during the second round, and at this point the medic player obviously becomes extremely important to the marines in order to revive them in case they fall.

The marines have to prevent the praetorian molting into a queen, that,s their primary goal in this MP mode. That,s why the things get that ugly to then in the second, because they have failed on their duty during the first round.

The respawn time for the aliens will take longer, specially for the runner player. The queen does not respawn in the second round. If she dies, the match is over.

Please, explain better what you mean in regards with the android during the secons assault.

3. Why would the giger alien want to hurt his own team or in turn why would his own team hurt him

The giger alien doesn,t hurt his own team. The warriors don,t tolerate the pressence of any outsider to the hive, and when they spot a giger alien their first reaction should be to attack and kill It. Due to the fact that this actually can not be done in game, I have translated this hostile reaction to the giger alien into the form of a penalty for the alien team, already explained in the giger alien and warrior section. The key to avoid these unwilling encounters for the sake of the alien team relies on the runner player.

The giger alien is an alien born far away from a hive or from any other alien infestation, and unlike the warriors, he isn,t submitted to any queen or sort of hive mind coming from her. Also, unlike the long lifespan of the warrior, the giger alien lives only for a matter of weeks, or perhaps days, but everything that lives near from this creature will know the meaning of fear as soon as this creature is ready to move on. This creature is just a nightmare and a threat to anything sorrounding It. It,s the alien.

Now you might ask..., and then, why does this alien fight in the alien team providing all those important advantages to the warriors and to the team in general (the darkness feature for example)? = Here on this MP mode, the battle taking place between the humans and the aliens in a hive next to Its position has attracted It, definitely taking his attention, so It joins the battle in the seek for new victims (the alien is just meant to do that..., killing), so It enters the hive and of course, the fray, doing the things he usually does when he,s alone, marking Its territory with resin and killing things in the way. The warriors just take advantage of the things the giger alien is doing while It works Its alternative way against the humans, but that doesn,t mean that the prae and the warriors are going to tolerate Its pressence..., It,s just another outsider more, but with the difference that It,s an outsider that may bring some advantages to the hive, until It,s driven from the hive, or more possibly, until It dies at the hands of a pack of warriors.

Another critical reason that leads me to make things like this, is due to the experience for the marine team when playing..., this will ensure that the marines ALWAYS encounter the giger alien alone, and this brings us back that special "feeling" coming from this unique alien. Also note there is just one giger alien player, ensuring this feeling even more.

The giger alien is meant to be the following things in this MP game: The medic (infested walls healing feature for the warriors), a support unit (infested walss darkness feature, the morale damage on the marines, etc), and an ambusher (he,s stealthy, doesn,t show up on the motion tracker, only the android can see It coming, etc). Furthermore, is the strongest alien right after the prae and the superior runner in case the runner player is now one of those.

Now I know that if the Marines win the first round then the PRAETORIAN doesn't become a queen but then what happens is round 2 the same as round 1 just with no responing, and also if the aliens win and the PRAETORIAN does become a queen then what

If the marines win the first round the match is over, so there is no second round (the praetorian is supposed to be eliminated). On the other hand, if they lose, then that means they have failed on killing the prae, It molts into a queen, an a second and last round starts. Unlike the first round, this last second round is NOT TIMED. The queen is the only alien that will not respawn during the second round, If the queen player is killed, the match is over, and the marines win, but that doesn,t mean that killing the queen is gonna be that easy.

Then what?, now there is a queen, marines can not respawn, so the medic becomes extremely important now, the passive abilities of the praetorian are now even better, 10 AI controlled facehuggers spam every 2 minutes, and more. Everything gets uglier for the marines..., they have failed on their first goal you know, but that doesn,t necessarily mean they are going to lose, all is just harder now.

5. in the first round is it just strait up team death match pritty much

Yes, It,s a basically a TDM, but as you can see when you read about the mechanics of the game and specially, the mechanics of the units, then you learn this is not exactly the typical TDM..., I,d even dare say that It has nothing to do with the typical TDM we already know, specially when we are talking about the second and final round.

6. what will happen when a team is demoralized do they freeze or is it harder to aim (I'm sorry if you already said this I just cant remember

Their skills such as the accuracy, speed, and damage start decreasing as long as they start being demoralized. When the morale bar of a human player is empty, then the morale damage reaches Its maximum effect on the human player. (low accuracy, low damage, low speed...). The sergeant may be the key in all those situations, or the android in order to spot the responsible of this, the giger alien. so that you marines can kill It before this alien, or an incoming pack of warriors kill you all.

7. when the android gives everyone a motion tracker ability does this mean they select it or does it appear in the bottom of the screen

All marine players have It already displayed on screen., as well as the aliens have a map display thanks to the runner unit. When the android is killed, the marines won,t have this feature available until the droid respawns again, and that,s 25 seconds without It. Same goes to the alien team when the runner is killed.

The higher the level of the android, the better the range of the motion tracker.
