SEGA has released a new trailer for Gearbox’s Aliens: Colonial Marines, showing off the game’s “tactical multiplayer.”

“See a select number of special abilities for both the Xenomorph and the Colonial Marines, players will need to make various tactical choices when playing in multiplayer,” says the blurb, with scant regard for grammar.

“Marines have a plethora of different weapons at their disposal, from the classic pulse rifle to the iconic flamethrower, from the smart gun and legendary weapons to explosives and assault rifle. All are fully customizable, just like the multiplayer characters, and all are selectable in your load out.

“Certain weapons are great for close combat in tight environments but you might want to watch for sneak attacks when cornered. Xenomorph players can choose from 3 different classes when going into battle - Soldier, Lurker or Spitter - each with their own customizable attacks and looks.”
