The SEGA and Gearbox Software PR teams today released a brand new Tactical Multiplayer Trailer for their upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines (February 12, 2013).
The trailer showcases the Xenomorph and Marine Special Abilities. Much of it are features we’ve seen in other games, such a Revive Teammate, Smoke Screen etc. We get a glimpse of the number tactical options the player has while playing multiplayer.
The Marines’ covenant includes special weapons such as the flamethrower and the smart gun, apart from the general assault rifle and explosives. Where the Marines use the usual marine combat tactics, the Xenomorph Covenant (the aliens) has various types of melee attacks at their disposal. There are 3 classes to choose from, when going into battle: soldier, lurker, and spitter.
