This. I could never fucking understand why they did not do this. If we're going to have humans, give them smartguns and pulse rifles and flamethrowers and power armour and mini nukes and sawn-off shotguns and sharp sticks and at least let them kick a little fucking arse whilst they spout one liners and get picked off like flies. Sticking to the spirit of Alien would be impossible, so it might as well stick to the spirit of Aliens, and that's to TAKE OFF and NUKE THE ENTIRE SITE FROM ORBIT because THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE.

The AvP Ps2 video game RTS sucked balls. I wandered around half the map every level, and then there would be 2 seconds of shooting aliens and then I died. LAME.
/waiting for good AVP game

AvP2 on the PC (and maybe other systems) was awesome.
KvP:
I wasn't much a fan of AvP2, truth be told. They fucked up the Marine portion of the game by making alien spawn points fixed and turning on music cues well before you would otherwise be aware that a new wave of enemies was coming at you. In AvP1 the alien attacks spawned in random places on the level and were more or less unannounced. It was a much more satisfying game experience.
Also I watched Alien again last night and man, much as I'm afraid they'll fuck things up, the Aliens franchise has such a high shit-to-hit ratio (due more to its marriage to the third-rate monster flicks that were Predator than anything else, I wager) that I'm hopeful this new one and maybe some of the things Sega is doing with the game license will return at least a bit of luster to it. But if Obsidian Ent doesn't keep the RPG rights I'm doubtful that will really happen, as good as Colonial Marines might be as a shooter.
