Aliens: Colonial Marines - Reconnaissance Pack

New Environments for Multiplayer Combat

The primary addition of this pack is four new maps tailored for different multiplayer modes, expanding the rotation available to players on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

Competitive Arenas Added

For standard competitive modes, specifically Team Deathmatch and Extermination, three new maps are integrated into the matchmaking pool:

• Shipwreck: This environment is characterized by its multi-tiered design, demanding that players maintain high environmental awareness to secure advantageous vertical positions against opposing Marines or Xenomorphs.

New Map for Cooperative Play

A dedicated map has been added to enhance the cooperative survival experience:

• Off the Grid: This location is situated outside the main Weyland-Yutani military base, placing players near the iconic Derelict ship, providing a fresh setting for defending against escalating waves of enemies.

How Does This Content Enhance the Xenomorph Experience?

A significant focus of the Reconnaissance Pack is on providing Xenomorph players with expanded visual customization, allowing for greater personalization of their alien characters within matches.

Customization Options Unlocked

Players who choose the Xenomorph classes gain access to several new cosmetic assets:

• New skins are available across every available Xenomorph class.
• New head variations allow for distinct visual profiles for player-controlled Xenomorphs.
• The pack includes new fatality animations, offering unique visual finishers for close-range engagements against human opponents.

What is the Scope of This Add-on?

As a map and customization pack, this content is designed to increase the replayability of the existing multiplayer framework. It integrates seamlessly with the core gameplay loop—the shooter mechanics remain unchanged—but provides fresh visual and spatial challenges for established players.
