yeah, but the thing with that is that you would start with 1 or 2 xenos and about 22 marines! That doesn't seem very fair now does it?

It wouldn't always be 1 or 2 Xenos or 24 players. Server controls are good because they will be able to set how many players start as Xenos and all the good stuff.
Plus maps would have to be built very nicely. All Marines would NOT start off together. Maybe 3 Marines at the max would spawn nearby eachother. The maps would need to have tons of vents and things only usable by Xenos because they are too high or narrow for a Marine to climb. Marines would start with limited ammo or maybe just a pistol.

Okay. That make sense and I think,if done right, could be very cool, fun, and scary! I might just crap my pants if I look on my motion tracker and see thousands of dot coming towards me! lol

If done right and blanced; also would like some game modes besides team deathmatch there could be CTF(Capture the queen egg in this matter), a domination mode and probably something similar to halo's firefight where you survive waves of xenomorphes of all varients.

Unfortunately, I agree with you guys =( The more MP with aliens the more it will take away from the single player, but I'd like some survival modes or "hunting" modes if you will. Objectives could be simply last as long as you can or be the last man standing. Once you die, you come back as an alien making it more of a challenge for the remaining marines.

Personally I'd vote for a long single player with co-op feature. From what I hear AvP didn't last on Xbox Live. I don't want something like this to be so multiplayer heavy set that when people leave so does the fun. Co-op multiplayer I guess would be best. I look back at relics like Perfect Dark where they had a strong single player / co-op but still had an excellent MP death match setting. I think they got a chance to do something really special here - Bottom line multiplayer or not I just hope they make it a game where the fun lasts.

+1, this is supposed to be a single player experience like the first Dead Space, but with the enemies we have ever liked, at last!

And yes, even when an crawling alien always looks like crap, It still should be able to finish you with extreme ease once on you. They are almost walking machines rather than pure organisms, so you should not have a chance against a 2'50 metters tall terminator, not even Wolf hahah

Definately should have it in. Personally I love the Avp2 mulitplayer and if they could bring some of that over.

As for the Aliens I think you should have the warrior drones from Aliens Pretorians and Alien 3 runners.

A cool feature I think would be that for the "Drone" model in multiplayer should have the smooth head as seen in the first Alien movie, however, once you gained enough experience, you could get the ribbed head from number 2. Customizing your Alien would be great: colours and unlockable features to add ur own distint touch to your model; same could go for the Marine as well.

Definately need to have a ranged attack for the Aliens, at least in multiplayer, we suffered so much in AvP2. The pounce was nice but too easy to miss. And they to have to make it realistic to a sense, as was mentioned before. They DO wall walk, they DO use their tails and at close range they DO kickass! I mean we're ALIENS, a naturally evolved biomechanical weapon of mass fear/pain/death/destruction.

I would love to see this multiplayer. Bieng its taken so long I hope they got an idea of what they(and we) want.

I think they will definitely have a survivor mode! If they don't, then I think it would be a big insult to the franchise! I think they need to focus a lot on singleplayer/co-op, but have some GOOD multiplayer modes that, like OFP marine said, makes the game have a lot of replay value and make the fun last!
