I'm with b00ce on this one. Just....... don't ever use that trainwreck of a game as a source. It's a disgrace to the ALIENS series. I pity the people who had Aliens: Colonial Marines as their first experience in the ALIENS universe. I grew up on the movies, the game doesn't even come close.

Awesome job so far! I hope this mod survives. Seeing colonial marines in arma 3 is going to be GREAT.

Shame, it seems this died. Would've been awesome. I'm a big ALIENS fan, so seeing the Colonial Marines in all their glory would be a dream come true.

Looking awesome so far.

Look at the helmets in Interstellar marines. That's perfect in my opinion. You can see the helmet but its not intrusive.

@Tripod27 I seriously doubt the neural implants give you night vision. A hud, maybe, but not goddamn night vision. It doesn't change the anatomy of the human eye, so it doesn't change the level of light intensity needed to make things visible. You'd need a separate ocular implant for that. As in, replace the eye with something better or have something magnify the light like goggles, or futuristic contact lenses, or glasses. Night-vision goggles work by magnifying light into the visible spectrum and displaying the edited image on a screen on the inside. Also, ODST pods slow down before they hit the ground with airfoils and retrograde thrusters. So I don't know where you're getting "neurally implanted night vision and dropping out of the sky from orbit in a metal box going fast enough to have re-entry effects before impact and surviving is fine". Other than that, I agree with you. The armor should be a *little* ahead of weapons tech by this point, but not to the point of making them useless at 100m, or taking ten+ torso shots to kill someone.

I believe standard neural implants are only for identification, IFF systems, and keeping track of where military personnel are. I don't think they affect eyesight, as in HUD. Or else they wouldn't wear tactical eyepieces or shooting glasses. Spartans have better neural implants that can store data, as in AIs, and may or may not affect eyesight. http://www.halopedia.org/Command_neural_interface CNIs can affect eyesight apparently, so I assume Spartan neural interfaces do the same.

Polarized is one way, the person wearing the helmet can see through it. But it looks opaque to observers. Depolarized is clear and see through to observers.

Like these; http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z293/rolgrim/halo%201%20marine/halo1marinearmorfullcircle.jpg ? Yeah I agree, they did look a lot better as far as style goes.

I would disagree about the rails not being a thing in the future. In the technical manual it does state that the M41A has a '3x power AN-RVS-552 CCD television sight'. And there's also laser sights, I doubt those would completely phase out.

Glad to see you're back in action b00ce. Thought the USCM mod was KIA. Love the new body armor, but it needs pauldrons like Taro said. Also, I'm happy to see the sounds working again.

This mod looks great. It's amazing how fast you made this progress. Keep up the good work guys! The stuff you have looks amazing. It's about time Arma got some sci fi mods. There hasn't been a big one since OFP.

There wasn't much to show, like you said. But what there is was great. The pulse rifle sounds were PERFECT. It was really satisfying to fire it. The pistol just needs some work, so does the RPG. The RPG was kind of hard to use due to a lack of sights. But it was satisfying to use too. That sound, it's like firing a giant gun. The hyper velocity rocket only reinforced that feeling. I cant wait until the release of the APC, and body armor. Also, the sounds broke after the latest update. However, that being said, this mod will be awesome. I love the Aliens universe. Seeing it in Arma 3 would be amazing. Keep up the good work b00ce! I made this account today to post here.
