In the lore, it's the United States Colonial Marines AFAIK. And Cameron wanted to
make the movie 'Vietnam in Space' more or less, so it makes them to be americans.

Althought, I seem to very vaguely remember that it is the United Americas in the lore (NA + SA),
but I can't be sure of that without checking.

But the game is full of marine stuff. "'Oorah!" and the Generation Kill
"Actual 2-1 blaa blaa" radio chatter. You are right in that the movie never had
flag patches... but that's the least of the problems it has.

Also, note the 40 round mag on the Pulse rifle, it can be upgraded to 'extended mag', which holds 60. No one seems to understand that the damn thing
holds 90 or 99, depending who you ask.

Oh, and the Bishop drone in the beginning of the game is wearing dog tags
(very "in your face, look who I am!!!" way too). Pretty sure androids wouldnt get dog tags.

I did that in Photoshop CS6, but you should be able to do it in Pixlr advanced (basically a copy of photoshop, and free):

I do believe the key to copy area for the stamp stool in Pixlr is CTRL+click.

Hope it helps!



That's between me and God!

Thanks a bunch! I did exactly as you showed me, I've been looking for a way to remove those sort of things for ages! Thanks!

Glad I could help.

One tip more I could give is keep the brush hardness to about 70%. I've found it gives nice balance between smooth and hard at least in Photoshop.

Oh and the duplicate layer step isnt necessary. I just do it so I can revert back to the original quickly if I need to.

The Correct flag patch for the Colonial Marines http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/United_Sta...l_Marine_Corps
It is the United States Colonial Marine Corps though so they got that bit right

Yes, but the US flag might be a personal thingy. I don't recall any of the marines
or their equipment sporting the USCMC logo in the movie.

Well that wiki deal states that there is a "United Americas" which is not in fact the United States so my view seems to have been correct after all at least there is not a "United States of America" of course this information is never mentioned in any of the films so it was clearly just made up by who ever wrote that page.

That is one underlying problem with the entire Aliens franchise there is no solid cannon to go by really.Just scanning that Wiki most of it seems to have just been made up by whom ever.For example one article mentions some made up civil war on a colony planet that Dallas and Parker fought in which makes about zero sense it pretty clear in Alien that no member of the crew had any military training.It says that Parker had been taken POW surely if that was part of Ridleys story it would have been used in the film.



My personal view is based of of the first three Alien films in which no specific nation is ever mentioned but companies are implying that large for profit organizations like Weyland-Yutani have true power.

I will have to watch Aliens closely and see if any American flags are shown but I am almost 100% certain that none are to be seen.

@Dowly I agree with the 99 rounds in the pulse rifle pretty sure that you can "99" a few times in the movie. By the way the pulse rifle(props in the movie) is actually an M-1 Thompson with lots of plastic bits added to it and the Smart gun is an MG3 with fancy bits added if you look closely in some scenes you can see the metal links from the MG3 belt they used 75 round saddle drums they also cut about 4 or 5 inches of the barrels.

I thought it held 100, but they put in 99 to keep it from jamming.

Technical manual says 99 rounds but magazines are only filled to around 95% to prevent jams ,(Yes I know I'm sad owning the Colonial Marines technical manual but I've always been a big fan of the aliens/predator universe)

As for the corps flag I'm fairly sure you see a low vis version on Gorman's uniform when he and Burke show up to talk to Ripley.

The only thing they failed to consider is that a large amount of concentrated manure smells like..... well poo and would be smelled not mention the sight of a huge pile of it just sitting around in some place a princess might frequent would be just slightly suspect. Wouldn't someone say "why is there a very large amount of manure setting outsides the princess's bed chamber?"

I'd imagine that it was meant to be humorous. Most of those messages are.

Particularly since I'm plotting to kill myself. Needless to say, manure happened and the plot failed.

I was aware of the humors intent of the in game message and the posting of the screen shot my post was intended to be an extension of the jest.Thanks for making sure that I understood the original intent though.
