. Um ... well, yes ... since it was directly and specifically based on ALIEN, I'd have been gravely disappointed had it not been so (even though they, too got some things wrong -- the Nostromo decks from the DLC's are just semi-random jumbles of compartments that provide great gameplay, for certain...

aliens was more realistic because if you shoot enough bullets into anything it will die. Xenomorphs arnt invincible cosmic entities like Cthulu as much as some people seem to wish they were... . This also being the tack those ... "prequel" abominations are taking -- which marks one of the major poi...

Hey, don't beat on all the games so much. Isolation was more Alien than even Aliens was :p . Um ... well, yes ... since it was directly and specifically based on ALIEN, I'd have been gravely disappointed had it not been so (even though they, too got some things wrong -- the Nostromo decks from the ...

On a slightly different note ... I remember that an earlier edition listed the Interdynamics MKS as Sweden's standard assault rifle. This was of course pure fantasy. That weapon was never going to be a real contender for replacing the Ak 4, for oh -so-many reasons (and indeed, nor did it; anywhere c...

I refuse point blank to make up - or accept made-up - material to supersede something that the movies already show us.

In my personal view on Canon for the ALIEN franchise, I accept no lore established post-1986, and even then only the movies. But OTOH, I adhere very strictly to what we see in those movies. As you might have...

Besides, if other variants of the weapon have a flame thrower as a secondary weapon ... why not equip Frost and Dietrich with those? Why, in that case, give them less versatile dedicated flame throwers? Because Gorman ordered them not to use pulse rifles. if they cant use the pulse rifle anyway the...

It can have an integrated grenade launcher. it doesnt always though. theres also variants of the pulse rifle that have underbarrel shotguns...

And not just anyone gets grenade launchers in the military either, you have to be specifically trained as a grenadier. . This would need to depend on what branch of which military, I suspect. I'd say that in the USCMC, all Marines will probably be trained as grenadiers, as their standard weapon - t...
