Do you really need to copy paste the same thing in two different threads? Ugh.

Yeah I wonder that also.

But more important is how will boiler fit in as playable alien.
Is he suppose to have same role as boomer from left4dead2?

But note that boomer had also goo that rendered player
almost blinded and go on player attracted AIs.

Boiler for all we know kills only when he close up with enemies.

So we have an Alien that spits acid and can spit in an area, and Alien that splats an area with...


acid.

I feel bad for Xhan

One thing i can say about the aliens videogame is this
When Gearbox started out they had aliens in the demos and in the magazines that looked like authentic aliens,even the crusher had a familiar design

But now with things like the spitter and the boiler,while they maybe fun to play as in mutiplayer...you gotta think...would anyone ever have things like this in the movies?

Truth is no,this is a case where crap is being made up on the spot and borrowed from creature elements like left 4 dead...i think the way the aliens look and behave have gotten way off track here...like hasbro toys off track

All of this...for better or for worst is going in the aliens bible as canon...and gearbox promised us they wouldnt make obscure whacky aliens...

So achieving middle ground between authentic and fun and challenging to play
will sacrifice some authenticity.

But there is a thin line and I'm wonder if it will be really fun to play with
this new xenos.Crusher - ramming into everything human moving?
Boiler exploding at everything moving right in front of you?
Spitter shooting goo at enemies?

It just needs to be fun to play/challenging but also in lore with aliens
"way of life".

But how did AvP1, 2 did it then?
It only had xeno, runner, predalien, and pretorian
and it suceed.

I don't care what explanation they come up with for the new alien types, they will always be "gearbox aliens" to me. I just hope the gameplay is fun and replayable.
