@FreedomPrime I understand what you're saying but that would ruin the core game play. Besides, the game is much more believable in that you die fairly quickly from chest shots and can't heal your wounds by staring at a tree or chewing on some gravel. CoD may have detailed sight mechanics, but the game is faaaar from realistic. Case in point the unjustifiable allocation of nuclear ordinance and AC130 gunship support in tight, civilian inhabited neighborhoods :P
Well that's good you're keeping an open mind about it :) and who knows maybe they're just choosing to show the worst segments of the game, or using a very inexperienced player to demo the game. It would be wonderful to see a different take on the Aliens story (for there is only one) but as you said that's probably a pipedream, more or less. Eh bien, rien à foutre.
While I recognize the point you're making (I hate the stream of mainstream run and gun cod clones on the market) Alien was really the only horror film in the series. Cameron's Aliens was a glorified action movie, and it was a very visceral and entertaining movie to watch. Gearbox appears to be attempting to emulate that manic sensationalism but retain some of Ridley Scott's macabre atmosphere. I'm looking forward to this game, however I do respect your opinion and my own hubris doesn't blind me from the valid points you made. If you think it will offend you by all means avoid it
