Big and GOOD news

[Bigapps17]

lol it's all good mustafuck. I know in the grand scheme of things we are all aliens fans and want this game to be as kickass as the series we love.
I just think that if the aliens were their natural size, then, there wont be as much space for more aliens to attack. Let's say that seven did attack us. I think that, since they are so big, 4 marines will have no problem mowing them down and that they will be too big miss with your gun! I know that they will be coming from every angle imaginable, but if we are in make a stand moments, then why not just set up a sentry gun and some mariens and, while looking behind you occasionally, just hold down the trigger until all of them are gone or have retreated?
I agree with you on your whole previous post, but I'm just trying to throw out ideas as to what the developers are thinking in their mind. You gotta keep in mind that gearbox needs to make a game that's accessible to everyone! If they build the aliens too big then, yes aliens fans and noobs will be happy, but people looking for a good shooter wont find a challenge in it!
Trust me I want the same thing that you do mustafuck, but I also know not to get my hopes up cause gearbox might have to make some changes that wont please us hardcore aliens fans! But it does give me hope from what chris has said about the size, so I'm hopeful for the future. I think if we look at the screenshots and video that we have, then the aliens will look like they are actual size!
P.S I completely agree that rebellion destroyed what was left of the aliens dignity! lol

When I'm talking about their massive size, It means they are extremely tall, not broad-shouldered xD. Aliens are thin and skeletal-like, and this combined with walking on their two (the classic human like behaviour) and with how incredibly tall they are = bettter terrifying experience for us marine players = WE WIN!! XD

So I don't understand that argument about "there won't be as much space for more aliens to attack"..., It's unreasonable.

Well can you imagine 7 aliens trying to fit through one door? I can't! Most of the player will try to barricade themselves in a room where they can focus their fire on the door! If the aliens are actual size then there is no way for them all to fit in the door or swarm the players! Also, if we are fighting in a hallway as seen in the movie aliens, then 10 or more aliens will be like shooting fish in a barrel! The aliens will take up too mush space along the surfaces and will be shot easily!

Xenos may have to crouch - climb - crawl and find different entrances, big deal, just makes it more like the movie.

yeah, but if you barricade yourself in a room with one access point then they all have to funnel into one area!

Well you hope! Until they are in the freaking ceiling!
Why are sci-fi airducts and maitenance passage so convieniently large for critters like Xenomorphs to ambush through? ;P

Here's hoping that Colonial Marines really nails down that survival horror feel in between firefights. I want to be scared like a little girl in one minute and feel like a cannon toting badass in the next.

lol I agreee 10000000%! lol
Yeah well they can't make it too fair for the marines now can they! But that's why you make sure the ceilings are covered!

[Chris!(($$))!]

Marines should eventually learn how to rig the ceilings of some sort.

Heavy weapons, flmethrower sounds good for that

[Bigapps17]

True, but when it comes to aliens you can'y leave anything to chance!
