I'm sure most of you have heard about this great new game, and I'm sure all of you know how bad the economy is right now. Well I've heard that there have been several layoffs in many publishers, some in the ALIENS: Colonial Marines development team!! I know that if any of you have ever been interested in Sci Fi movies, you know how great the movies Alien and Aliens were, we are so close to getting a great next gen title about the greatest Sci Fi movie of all time.

So please, go to the site, fill out the petition, (you dont have to donate, it isn't related to the petition) and help save a great game.

Petition Site

With so many games being cancelled due to lack of funding and support, we can't let this one go, not without a fight!!

Here is the link to the official game site, and below it the link to the publishers site:

Aliens: Colonial Marines Official Site

Gear box Website

Thank You for your help and support!!

donation?Hellboard

The donation thing isnt necesary, I almost bit into to it too, but if you read the fine print it says that the donation is for the site, not for the petition and isn't needed to submit your signature. Actually when you see that message your signature has already been added.

BTW- Thank You to all of you that have signed, I'm sure we will be happy to see this game on the shelves, hopefully soon.:)

Can you explain to me that if developers are laying off staff working on a game because of the economy.. how will signing a petitition get those employees their jobs back and get the game on store shelves?

Sorry but petitions don't ever actually do anything.. also, do you have any links to show that staff have been layed off and the game is on hold? The official site says nothing about it.

I hope it gets canceled. I loved Aliens vs. Predator 2 and it's a damn shame that they ignored the hardcore fans who asked for an AVP3 and decided to give us this 4-man, co-op only, squad-based shooter.

what?? no, your missing the point, it's not to get the employees their jobs back, it's just to help show the company that their is a loyal fan base of willing customers, to show them that this title will be profitable. maybe they are on the edge of cancelling it and if they see that thousands of people are going to be buying the game, then perhaps that will change their mind. it's not going to hurt you in any way, just sign, maybe the game will convince them that we need an AVP3 game.

... Colonial Marines is being made by Gearbox, a company that hasn't made a shooter for a very long time.. I would rather see AVP3 made by Monelith the CORRECT people that have proven to make great shooters, furthermore a gerat ALIENS game.. Something that WILL happen in the future most likely due to their success..

True, so don't worry, it won't be canceled. Probably delayed though.

too bad that gearbox is making shooters... eg brothers in arms :roll: also too bad that monolith doesnt know how to make shooters, shooters had nice levels and neither NOLF or FEAR excel in that sector.

Not that I love Crytek or anything, but I pray that something like that doesn't happen. there are enough devs that make corridor shooters, we don't need the only developer that takes open space shooters and graphic engines to this level to make a simple, limited, corridor shooter and I really don't think that Crytek can make a scary atmosphere. or scary monsters, they wouldn't do to good in the horror department imo.

well i think the best part of crysis is the indoors areas:) what you say is right, but i freaked out with the monsters in far cry, my point is there is no CORRECT as subzero says , developer for fps, there are many people in developer team you dont know what you get if you mix em.
