What's this? A generally worthwhile, rather neat pre-order bonus from GameStop? Praise the heavens!
As you can see from the picture above, three multiplayer skins for Aliens vs. Predator can be yours if you put up $5 for reservation or whatever the going rate is these days. It's been years since I've bothered to pre-order, but my love of Aliens and Predator is just great enough to make this an exception.
I can't quite tell if it's the lighting or the guy on the left there, Number Six, is actually blue. If so, sweet! If not, well, he's got a giant target on his head in the shape of a six ... wait, how is that a good thing? Hey, at least the Alien Head Predator is kind of rad.
You know what would be grand? If by some miracle Rebellion included Mantis Alien in the game. Anyone who's ever come into contact with those old Kenner action figures knows what I'm talking about. Hell, even DLC would be sufficient.

I blame my parents :(
I want this game so bad, there's some fucking awesome footage out on youtube.
But I want an Arnie skin and a Ripley Skin.
If I was in the God forsaken, WORLD known as U.S. of motherfucking A, I would be pre-ordering this?
Any idea of pre-orders in the true Capital of the Global empire, the UK?
I remember playing the previous one in multiplayer.
I used to play as marine. It was crazy
Mantis was cool, but the bull and spider were amazing. Also, that number six xenomorph skin is from Alien: Resurrection, ugh.
The true capital of the global empire is China which currently owns everyone else's economies aside from India.
The number on the Aliens' heads thing started in the Dark Horse "Aliens: Volume 2" comic series. It was all airbrush, and looked exactly like some alternate universe's James Cameron-directed Alien 3.
Which makes me think they'll use that as a story basis for the game.
Which is good.
So good.
general spears used the aliens as his own personal army. tried to anyway. guess how that turned out.
I'm guessing it's just a cool bonus for hardcore aliens fans, dont think it will play in to the main story.
I think he looks more like Jango Fett
