Gameplay[]
An online first person shooter/role-playing game, where players can play as either Marines or Aliens battling in 6 scenarios/levels.
Mission Objectives[]
Both species will receive missions; all of them has the same objectives:
- The Marines' objective is to destroy all Aliens or kill all Queens in the levels.
- The Aliens' objective is to kill all Marines, and to protect the Queen.
Alien rank system[]
The Aliens has a unique rank system that will allow them to grow. Players start as a facehugger, but can grow as a Drone, a Queen, and finally, Empress.
Death[]
Another unique gameplay element were the consequences of the players' death depending on the species they played as.
As the Marines, if the player die, he/she maybe cloned by Weyland-Yutani, but the Company will sometimes decide not to clone you, but leave you to an "honorable death".
As the Aliens, the players can 'possess' nearby facehuggers, drones, or Queens.
