Aliens: Colonial Marines Limited Edition Pack DLC

This game changed my life!

I'm gay for Hudson so this is great for me

love it A+ verry fun:}

I mean, it has Ripley's pulse rifle/flame thrower combo, nuff said!

Pretty cool stuff. Ripley's Flamethrower alone is worth it. Do note that the faces of the characters are all slightly “off”.

Well - it's Ripley's gun. What other recommendation You need anyway? There are also four, non - customizable new skins for multiplayer, adding legendary characters from Aliens. But seeing three Hicks in one match is too much...

This is a must have for the true alien francise fan. It is just great fun to be able to play as one of those colorful characters of the movies with each having their own characteristical remarks and voices. It's a must have to me.

Completely dead multiplayer, no point in owning the DLC maps - or even the game, as all fun was derived from MP. And now, in that dead af MP, you can look like some actually decent characters. If only the actual game had any character building like that.

I would like to recommend this DLC for the flamethrower and the addition of more characters to be played, but sadly the multiplayer is dead so RIP.

The Limited Edition comes with two things that really define it. Ripley's pulse rifle / flamethrower combo and four multiplayer skins from the Aliens movie. The four skins are Hicks, who is already in the single player, Hudson, played by Bill Paxton, senior officer Sgt. Apone and Pvt. "Acid Bath" Drake. The DLC doesn't come with the season pass. These skins are not customizable in any way. You get them in their uniforms from the movie. The models are believable. Hudson doesn't have a helmet, Hicks face isn't horribly scarred as it is in the single player. Apone is a guy in a hat with the cigar, Drake is decked in black with a bone necklace and light camouflage pants. You cannot remove their helmets, add things or change the color of their uniforms. They're stuck as is. In a game about stealth in the darkness, do you want to be the guy with light camouflage pants or do you want to be the one that blends in? Other than their skins, there is nothing special about them. You still chose your loadout. No one gets special Hudson powers or anything. Michael Bean plays Hicks in his multiplayer skin. As for the others, I don't think the voice actors are the real actors from the movie. Now for the real upgrade this DLC brings and that's Ripley's combo gun. It does three things. It fires a pulse rifle, it incinerates and it has a grenade launcher. Its nothing new really, but its a combination of everything that makes it fun. There are a few downsides though, the aim button is now the flamethrower button. So there is no aim, but how can one really aim two guns at once while carrying a child? The other negative is that it will take up almost half the screen. You'll be blind to your right side. Take the good with the bad. By default it has a clip of 95 bullets and ammunition is everywhere. Even with no aim, it feels a lot more accurate than other pulse rifles. You cannot upgrade the weapon like the others, but it feels powerful enough. Not just that, but its fun to use. When you start the game, you just have it in your arsenal. You won't get to use them in the Stasis interrupted DLC. There isn't any sort of mission where a rescued marine wonders if Ripley is alive and demands you find her, but only discover her gun. Overall, these two make the DLC pack worth getting for fans of the Aliens franchise. It just offers more diversity. I'd also like to point out, how 'Limited Edition' is this pack when I bought it 2 years after the game's release?
