Hadley's hope in A:CM

[Bigapps17]

Sorry if I'm a little jittery and quick posting this, but I feel like I had to cause we have a new environment (thanks to a screen shot)in Aliens: Colonial Marines! The picture will be familure to anyone who has seen the extended version of aliens will know that it s an area of the colony Hadley's Hope! I personally love Hadley's hope, but this screenshot raises a question for me. All credit to the screenshot goes to AVPGALAXY.com and Lorin Wood! Here is the link to the story and screenshot.

Will Hadley's Hope be in A:CM even though it was destroyed at the end of the movie Aliens or is this another colony on LV-426?

people think that these screen shots are from the devs just testing the graphics and engine. They created something they know in this case HH, to see how they compair and see how well they can make the enviornment.

I can't see how we could go to Hadleys Hope, due to its nuclear destruction. However, HH was just one colony from hundreds of worlds. It is quite possible that we will report to another colony that has Xeno infestation, maybe one closer to completion HH or similar.

Either way, we win. Can't wait!

I didn't know that. I though it was just a cool screenshot that might appear in the game! lol Like I said in the post, I was jittery and was thinking that they released something cool, instead of the devs creating something that previously existed!

Ignoring that! lol I still think that they will ave some sort of colony that will be similar to HH, if not an extension on HH! I think that Weyland-Yutani could have been lazy and just built a new colony on top of HH or just rebuild HH from parts that weren't destroyed in the blast (if any part exists)!

That cant happen for 2 reasons:

1. Radiation will last years
2. The game takes place 17 days after the sulaco crew went missing and we are the rescue squad. You cant build a whole base in 17 days let alone get W-Y mercs there in time to build it.

However if we went to furry 161 (I think) then it would be fine to have W-Y Mercs there as they had tons of ships that when to get riply so its not hard to belive that they would set up "shop" and do research there, since a building is already there and in working condition. Also it would only take a few days to set up a base and if the rescue team (us) went there after finding out what had happened it would give the W-Y team enough time to set up a base so its not hard to belive

Actually they only had one ship, similar to the Sulaco I believe. While playing at Fury would be fun, there would be no reason to send us there. The rescue ship would have done everything when it arrived before leaving. They shut everything down and locked it up, so I'd assume that they took a sweep of the building to complete the investigation.

However, RedAce does have a point. It could be used for a labratory, and bieng the prison was officially "closed" as a cover-up. At the same time though, it would be difficult to do so. Both the leadworks and prison are extremely outdated, and various parts needed to be replaced. Not to mention that even though it is reletively intact, they can't use much of the infrastructure aside from maybe the guards quarters, infirmary and mess hall(i think). They would still need to construct the research lab and holding cells; unless they refit the prisoner one.

Granted, W-Y could be in a rush and therefore hurrying to get info on the Xenomorph, so a quick add-on refit to Fury is possible, and we could get sent there after a second Xenomorph problem arose.

Bad track record for Fury if that happened, right up there with Acheron. Two Xeno infestations apiece.

Truth! I forgot about that! lol

The thing is, I still think they cuould send us to fury becuase the point of us going there is to rescue and investigate for the company. Think that once the marines encounter the aliens on company orders, they will wonder why the company wants an aliens and will revolt against the company, like ripley did. If the marines do revolt, then they would want to go to fury to see what happned to ripley and the other and investigate what happeed to her and the company! That's my opinion though!

Not a new screenshot for Aliens Colonial Marines...

LA LA LA LA LA Not that I'm growing increasingly cynical or anything.

Also, source updated in the first post. This was found on AvPGalaxy.com originally.

Yeah looking back, I completely jumped the gun! lol But can you blame me? Sega na d Gearbox haven't given us crap from this game, so I take anything I haven't seen before as something new and exciting! Plus I didn't know that devs just take make screens from existing scenes and areas, so next time I know to be more cautious! lol

Bigapp17, Sega should hand over marketing to you, mate., At least you give a shit. (They don't)
