In this tactical strategy game, players will control the forces of one of the
three species, planning their attack strategy, creating their own custom army,
and choosing upgrades ranging from vision modes to weapon modifications. Each
species offers a unique set of attributes forcing players to master a variety
of tactics and play styles in order to be victorious. As Colonial Marines, players
will rely on military training and the latest hi-tech weaponry from the Weyland-Yutani
Corporation to save the human population of LV-742. The Predators must use their
stealth and highly evolved hunting techniques to gain the respect of the council
of Ancients. Aliens will attack in hordes to kill their enemies, impregnate
them with facehuggers which evolve into the ultimate weapons. A variety of units
will be accessible to the player, from basic infantry to specialized warriors
like the Alien Carrier able to carry facehuggers in groups, the Predator Hydra
or the Marine Sniper.
