Colonial Marines 2 Year Anniversary Announcement and Celebration Bonanza!

[LordLoko]

Awww, it's not USS Inheritor At least it's a Conrad novel name/reference, right?

Anyway FUCK YEAH A NEW MAP YEEEE BOIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[Steelpoint]

I asked for Inheritor since it rolls of the tongue easily, but Almayer works just as well.

[Feweh]

U.S.S Feweh so was closed to happening

[TheMaskedMan2]

It's alright, we can name something else the U.S.S. Feweh

[SecretStamos (Joshuu)]

Hope you guys enjoy it ☺

We're all really excited for this release.

[Wubs4Scrubs]

Wow, holy shit huge props to the sprite team, it looks like a completely different game! Can't wait to try out the new map as well as with each new map the mapping team gets more experience on what makes a great map. So in theory this will be the best one yet.

[Tristan63]

With the new ship, you think we could get any new dropships?

That one on the far right looks like a penguin.
Damn gonna have to get used to saying U.S.S Almayer, and I also have to get used to not having a good-o'l Conestoga class starship as my home...Can't wait for the LV-426 memes we can pull now.

[LordeKilly]

Doesn't feel like 2 years, damn. Happy birthday, soul-stealing game!

[Swagile]

Was looking forward to Waterworld being more of a played map, but Big Red is a good replacement.

[spaceisfarcavesareclose]

you guys pulled it off and its just growing! weyland-yutani official clown quarters in new map please!

[Butterrobber202]

Pre-Alpha was alot better.

We need to go back!

[Complete Garbage]

Bring back the old old sulaco! Huge locker room with tiny quarters, a long, pointless bridge to the dropships, a briefing room with too many tables and not nearly enough space! Old good! Change bad!


(also please add in weed farming thanks)

[Monoo]

Can I just say that what little you showed us of the new sprites looks absolutely fantastic, and much more like it belongs in the Aliens universe. Hot damn.

Seriously, 70% bigger? Hype off the charts.

One question - will we eventually see the Almayer replace the Sully on LV if/when you redesign LV?

[apophis775]

The Almayer will replace the Sully on ALL maps. The Sulaco is being retired.

[completelynewguy]

The Sulaco is being retired.

Does that mean the Sulaco is going to have one last hurrah (Read: SM overload) for an event? Or will it quietly fade away?

[xeno366]

will we get marine buffs? or new sprites for xenos?

[CrimsonAerospace]

Pre-Alpha was alot better.

We need to go back!

Agreed. I prefer old CM. But, we've come a long way and I'm excited to see where we go next, even if I keep taking periodic 2-week breaks.

Happy 2-Years without being shutdown by griefers, Hippie-Mains or Communist bastards. Thanks for the hard work making sure this flying salt mine stays flying Apop, and Staff.

[ShortTemperedLeprechaun]

The Almayer will replace the Sully on ALL maps. The Sulaco is being retired.

I hope she goes out in a glorious way boss. Either viking funeral style, or with much respect and veneration.

[Sargeantmuffinman]

I'm coining it here, the nickname for the Almayer will be the Ally or Aly.

[Artouris]

I'm coining it here, the nickname for the Almayer will be the Ally or Aly.

Get to the ayylmao!

[Monoo]

I'm coining it here, the nickname for the Almayer will be the Ally or Aly.

Cowper will become a meme

[Jdobbin49]

Hyped for new surgery (and everything else)

[TehSpoderman]

will there be any changes to existing maps? (Ice Colony,LV,Waterworld)

[TheCubscout]

Such a large ship will surely need correct staff to keep it clean and in a efficient order.
