So... who's pre-ordered?

I heard from a former AL member who saw the game demo at E3 that it looks really sweet.

I think I've had it on pre-order since......2009.
Might have to update payment details since the card I used is now out of date.

I'm not a big pre-orderer.
I'll nab it once its on the shelf

I pre-order because I can pay like $5 a payday at Gamestop. Makes it much easier to take a $60
hit on the wallet if you space it out for 6 months.

So you're either paid fortnightly or very bad at Maths!

Some new screenshots, courtesy of ikarop at AvPG.
The first shot is great.

Two things:

1. Woohoo! Colonial Marines! Can't wait to play it!

2. They changed the Pulse Rifle?! Why did they change the Pulse Rifle?

Cheers!

Thanks for sharing the excellent pics!
Nice to see they fixed the facehuggers legs!

I think the ammo counter is where it is because there is limited HUD in the game; if you want to know how much ammo you have left, you have to look at the rifle. If you want to look and see what enemies are near, you have to lower the PR and look at the motion tracker screen.
So it isn't like Half Life or something where all the player has to do is look at the screen and health and ammo is instantly shown, and the Pulse Rifle is on the right-hand-side of the screen.
I don't know what that slot thing is on the side of the Pulse Rifle; looks like something connects to it, though.

It'd be good maybe if they toned down the colors; everything looks brightly colored in these shots to me but still excellent nonetheless.

In the one pic with the smartgunner, the marine with the motion tracker is carrying quite an elongated/enlarged pulse rifle. Something about its proportions seems to be off.

Well, these look closer than the ones in the most recent AvP game.

Been looking forward to this for a long time and each new picture or trailer I see just makes it look better and better.

Looks like something is happening over at the Gamespot site on Friday.

http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/aliens-colonial-marines/video/6330639/aliens-colonial-marines-action-trailer

Some screens from the trailer.
Of course, it looks better when it's actually moving.... but maybe with these you can make your own flip animation or something. Or watch the trailer.
If I do something like this in the future, I'll do it horizontally so it takes up less frigging space.

looks really good in motion, I've got to say. Was worried Gearbox would "Borderlands" it, like they are doing with brothers in arms.

That trailer just seems to me to be purely fmv/cut scenes, rather than actual hands-on gameplay (as mooted in the original link).
