Aliens: Fireteam Elite

I watched Romulus one day after my country's (HU) release day, but have joined the fandom just recently. As for the movie, well, the ending sucked. At least in my oppinion. It mostly is because I was always against the idea of human-xeno hybrids.

As someone who finished Aliens: Fireteam Elite I think there would be more than enough variants (Monica for example) that they could have integrated into the movie rather than comming up with...wathever the offspring was.

What about you guys? You think it was a good idea or another xeno variant would have been a better idea (if so, what variant you guys want to see on screen?)?

Does anyone know if the future DLC for aliens: fireteam elite will add more alphatech weapons into the game?

I've already made a page for it as well since we got more concrete Information, if you dont want to get spoiled then turn back now

The Aliens Fireteam Elite Twitter has released Intel on the Pathogen Queen and in turn I made her page, she sounds fantastic and from the sound of it she will definitely be a boss fight which is very exciting, its interesting how there is a Pathogen Hive yet she cant reproduce, I wonder how that'll pan out, but either way she sounds and looks badass and from the sounds of it she'll have alot more surprises when the Expansion Pack launches

I have the endeavor pass, and really hope that the pathogen update will be free for me. Paying for it even though I have the pass would suck, and Cold Iron Studios hasn't said anything about this specific topic. If you find anything post it here I guess

Omg guys has anyone seen it today? season 3 of aliens fireteam is gonna change everything for the better.

So I've talked about this game before and I want to talk about what I think is now going to happen because it seems like my old predictions were wrong so I'm basing this around the content listed in the roadmap as well as things that would make sense to add more variety to gameplay

So to start we already got a new mode with Point Defense, and the Phalanx class as sort of the big additions into the game for their respective title updates

So first of all I want to try predicting Season 3 and what content will be added, for the Class I got 1 of 2 ideas

1. The first one could be Synthetic based class, it's been talked about before with fans and having a synthetic class would make sense into the roster, I'm not too sure what its abilities would be though

2. The second one is far more unlikely but alot more fun, the second one I'd personally would like to see is like a Xenomorph tamer, like I said not likely although it would be fun to sick a Xenomorph at your enemies, if I had to guess the Xenomorph type would be the Prowler, it could pin enemies as a special ability and attack similarly to the runners, I could see the upgrades diverging into the Spitter and Drone as well, Drone would be more tanky and the Spitter would help snipe at enemies

As for the new feature in Season 3 I'm thinking its likely a first person mode, or would keep players busy experiencing the game through a whole new perspective and would get players replaying through the game through a different view, if World War Z can do it then why not Aliens Fireteam Elite

And now Season 4, the feature is alot more harder to predict because I feel like a first person feature is a obvious go to addition that everyone would like

If I had to guess the mode I think it could be a boss rush based mode where you fight multiple bosses, that's my best guess anyways but another I could see is a Queen Boss Fight mode, where players would have to coordinate to take down and kill the Queen, I think alot of people were disappointed by the Queen and that would be a way to redeem the appearance she made

As for the new feature I think another very positive addition would be a AI Director Implementation, the game has alot of scripted enemies, for example you know a Crusher will always spawn on Campaign 3 mission 1, a good way to enhance gameplay would be to mix it up to where maybe it's not Crusher but warriors, or a mix of both, it would mix up gameplay tremendously and I cant imagine anyone being disappointed by it, of course there would still be scripted spawns such as Monica or the very first warrior you fight to introduce the enemies but overall it'll make for unique experiences everytime you play

That's my predictions but a honorable mention would be a feature revolving around Monica, she was severely underutilized but having a powerful enemy stalking the player throughout the game would be a interesting addition for certain

I am posting this after the top 5 least likely to come and I was working on the post before then but I'm releasing it after

I think the Ultramorph is basically as good as confirmed and I made a post similar but since launch and beating the game I think they have everything they'd need to introduce the Ultramorph as one of if not the most powerful enemy in the game

Here are my reasons for thinking why the Ultramorph will come to Aliens Fireteam Elite:

1. The aesthetics match perfectly - the game is highly focused around the Pathogen and Engineer society with it making references to Prometheus for example as well as including the Pathogen and even a Engineer Juggernaut ship, which I will get more into the ship later but considering the Ultramorph is a concept introduced in the original film and has been a big curiosity among the fanbase it seems extremely fitting for it to appear.

2. Build up leading to the Ultramorph - yep in the games third campaign we go through a Juggernaut Ship and destroy its power cores preventing it from taking off, while it doesn't say it outright we can assume that the power to the ships engines wasn't the only thing damaged in the final fight, it could potentially build up to Engineers on the ship coming out of the now disabled cryosleep and wrecking havoc on LV-895 not only introducing the Engineers as a possible enemy but also giving the perfect opportunity for a disoriented Engineer to get facehugged.

3. The Developers have showed possible interest into adding it into the game - so I have talked to the developers on twitter and have brought up the Ultramorph before and they liked my mention of it and have showed interest as well as other people there being amused at the idea, not only that but it would also be the first depiction of the Ultramorph since the Space Jockey redesign into the Engineers so they could also make the first depiction of the monster post remake which is something I think they'd definitely want to do by making the first redesign from a Engineer.

4. Gives us a satisfying Final Boss - so I think everyone can agree that the ending of Aliens Fireteam Elite was rather disappointing, the ending sequence was just another press the buttons ending just like 2 of the other ending levels and it's extremely disappointing that there wasn't a final boss especially since the Queen only appeared for 2 minutes in the game of which you have to run away from her making for a rather bland a lifeless ending, I think the Ultramorph would give us what the ending failed to do by giving us a proper Final Boss and it would finally make another alien the final boss as it's typically Queens if even, and it makes sense as the Ultramorph is one of the few Xenomorphs that could match if not outright beat an Alien Queen.

5. Fits perfectly into the story - The Ultramorph fits perfectly into every category so far, it fits into the build up and ending of the game currently, it makes perfect sense aesthetically, it gives the players a satisfying boss fight and there's alot they could do with it when they work it into the story.

So now for how I would implement it into the game, I'd have the entire campaign it's introduced in be one big boss battle where you have to break down its health

• It would attack every faction and the player could wear it down as well to take its health down as much as possible for the final level of the campaign, continuing the campaign run carries your damage dealt over to the next mission, if you choose a level randomly from the hub then it would spawn with a certain amount of health based on the level chosen and the difficulty.

• Gameplay wise it would be around Queen sized if not bigger and chase players around acting as a hybrid between Mr X from Resident Evil 2 and a typical Raid boss being a large and powerful intimidating presence that chases players throughout the level and acts as a horrifying and powerful enemy that can beat players easily if they aren't careful, it would slash and slam players around and can vomit acid similarly to it's incarnation in Infestation that could one shot players if they dont watch out for the attack

• It should also have a horrifying aesthetic (I think the concept shown above would be perfect making it terrifying looking and lean more into the horrifying giant aspect).

I first started editing after noticing a grammatical error on a page, now I find it very enjoyable. I was editing the page on the crusher alien variant and tried adding an image of it from Alien: Fireteam Elite, but could only edit images that were already present or remove them. Could any of the other editors here help me with this?

Pretty interesting campaign with a pretty good set up vibe, but it has issues

Starting with Likes:

• This Campaigns level design is great with interesting atmosphere that over the campaign shifts more and more into a horror like atmosphere and I like it alot and feels unique among the campaigns.

• The game also introduces 4 new enemy types with all of them being pretty cool additions.

• It introduces a new Faction in the Pathogen which adds 3 new enemies, Poppers swarm players and explode and are hinted at possibly being somewhat related to the Rat-X from the books just without Spider DNA, Pathogen Infected Humans which are honestly pretty intimidating not being too tough but come in Swarms and deal alot of damage, and 1 boss for the Pathogen in the Stalker which are the same species as the Leon-895 from the book and can Cloak and pounce enemies making for a interesting boss fight dynamic.

• It also introduces 1 new Xenomorph enemy in the form of the Crusher which is a boss level enemy that is near indestructible head on but can be taken down by teaming up with teammates to damage the giant Xenomorph from behind while someone else distracts it.

• And finally the last levels ending is my favorite so far, it does somewhat boil down to the usual but it also involves you destroying the ships cores which was a pretty cool way to end the campaign off with.

Now for the Dislikes:

• The levels lose the random split decision mechanic which is really unfortunate because I really enjoyed that aspect of the second campaign.

• And my biggest issue is the use of Pathogen Enemies, or the lack thereof, once again similar to Monica they constrict their appearance to a single mission which I really hate, it's annoying when they introduce cool stuff only to limit it and we never see it again, granted yes the Leon's are hinted at in mission 2 and the Poppers are visually seen but even if you attack them they don't do anything and are purely cosmetic which is a massive shame, I was really hoping they'd intervene near the end of the second mission with you fighting off a wave of Xenomorphs but it shifts to the Pathogen coming at you but that never happens.

• Another issue is the lack of variety in the Pathogen faction, there's only 3 enemies 2 of which are fodder type enemies and 1 is a boss, I was really hoping for some special type enemies and maybe a appearance from the Rat-X would have been pretty cool but unfortunately that never happens which is a shame.

Overall I'd say it's a downgrade from the previous campaign but it is still pretty cool with alot of interesting and cool ideas such as the descent into a horror atmosphere as the levels go on and the Pathogen are a very cool idea, just implemented wrong

Although I will say the Crusher is arguably my favorite Xenomorph Boss so far competing with Monica although I lean towards Crusher since they appear for more than 1 mission

Honestly probably the most solid campaign I've played so far, it has alot of good things to it and introduces alot of good stuff to keep gameplay varied and fun

For the pros:

• Every level feels unique, the first level has a random split decision dynamic that determines what type of enemies spawn throughout the level which is awesome

• Level 2 introduces the Synthetics and for humanoid based enemies they were pretty fun and enjoyable to fight

• And finally level 3 introduces stuff like automated turrets or landmines in another split decision for a level as obstacles for enemies to overcome and introduces more new enemies

• Overall very pretty levels with alot of color and vibrance in contrast to the typical dreary environments of the other campaigns helps this campaign stand out on a visual level which is great that it stands out.

• So onto the enemy variety, it introduces every synthetic enemy in the game unless theres one in the final campaign that I haven't seen and they are pretty varied: Pulse Rifle Synthetics will fire at you and Shotgun Synthetics will charge towards you in a attempt to maximize damage, you also got Synths with Shields, Explosive Synths, Working Joe's, Wardens which are basically the Pulse Rifle Synths but stronger in everyway and can throw grenades and 3 boss type Synths with my favorite of the 3 being the Synthetic Sniper.

• It also introduces 1 new Xenomorph enemy in the form of a Spitter boss variation exclusive to the first level of the second campaign as one of the split decisions called the Irradiated Spitter and its pretty cool being stronger and tougher than a normal spitter with it firing burster type acid pools at enemies and leaving a burster like acid puddle upon death.

There's honestly not many major flaws with the campaign if any, its probably my favorite of the 3 I have played but if I had to choose one I do think the final missions ending sequence could have been better as once again it just boils down to the Point A to Point B Gameplay, I was really hoping for something like a Exosuit for example as a boss battle near the end and it can get pretty insane near the end but it's not great either

I think its fantastic, the fighting feels extremely satisfying which is what you'd want from fighting off hordes of Xenomorphs

The enemies feel varied and all feel like they serve a purpose working together to take down players

I've so far played the first campaign completely and quite abit of the second campaigns first mission so I haven't seen everything but I think that says enough because the game feels great

Cant wait to beat it and I'm very excited for the future of the game because overall so far it's pretty solid

So for one of the major Aliens Fireteam Elite updates I think they could do a Movie themed major update, what would the new update entail? Well the following:

• New campaign based around Alien Resurrection that spans for at least 2 levels taking place on the USM Auriga.

• 2 new enemies, the Cloned Xenomorphs which act as hybrids of the Spitter and Drone enemies with less health than a Drone but more than a Spitter, and the Newborn alien which acts as the updates boss enemy with loads of health having more than Seven but less than the Praetorian but massive attack damage surpassing both in trade for slow speed.

• 1 new Horde Map, Hadley's Hope Where you battle throughout the remains of the colony

That's definitely one idea I can think of, it makes sense since the only film not in the games lore is Alien Resurrection so why not have a bonus campaign based around it?

It would bring in a fun what if scenario and bring back the Newborn which hasn't been in a game since Alien Resurrection for the ps1

So the games coming out in August and I want to theorize on what types of enemies we can expect to appear based on the confirmed enemy roster which will consist of over 20 enemy types with 11 Xenomorphs

So the confirmed Roster is:

1. Drone

2. Runner

3. Warrior

4. Facehugger

5. Spitter

6. Burster

7. Prowler

8. Praetorian

9. Alien Queen

10. Unknown Alien Spider

11. Synthetics

So that's 11 but 1 of those definitely isn't a Alien and the other I don't feel convinced calling a Xenomorph, I think it's a sort of native species of the planet their on as opposed to a alien type so we could see more native species to the roster as well

Ontop of that since there are synthetics I think there would realistically be a combat loader as a sort of boss battle similarly to the Alien Queen

Speaking of Alien Queen I assume the bosses are the over 20 enemies they talk about

I also assume we might see Engineers and Neomorphs make the roster, they would fit the game and make quite abit of sense

So far I've listed 3 enemies I think could appear and have a likely chance of appearing, not sure what alien types could appear but the enemy type I'm the most confident we'll see that I've said is between the Combat Loader and the Neomorphs

The rest I cant really imagine other than wildlife and bland generic soldiers but the synthetics already appear to take that role

Maybe more new types of aliens as well

First heard about this game a bit over a year ago, was looking forward to what sounded like it was going to be similar to how Aliens: Colonial Marines was originally described, with genuine squad-based gameplay tactics like Star Wars: Republic Commando, I Instead hop on Youtube this afternoon to find the trailer for this greasy piece of third-person trash 'Aliens: Fireteam'.

This cookie-cutter rubbish is just Left 4 Dead with an Aliens skin, the rest of it is just an imitation of gameplay elements from Predator: Hunting Grounds; another let down.

Clearly these developers are lazy and uninspired, and have opted to quietly push out some hypetripe, by applying an overused and overly simplistic template, to a franchise whose games really require a certain standard of realism and atmospheric immersiveness, and this was also a game That was initially said to have a style and complexity similar to Destiny.

I even saw a guy manually chambering a round with a pulse rifle, which is a firearm that uses an electric pulse to fire caseless ammunition...
