Aliens: Colonial Marines Site Makes Planetfall

Did you order a one-way express elevator to Hell? A site featuring a teaser trailer for the Gearbox-developed bughunt has just gone live.  The trailer sets the scene for you, playing the titular badass soldiers, to take part in a mission to find out what befell the Sulaco.

Other than that trailer there is little to see at the moment except for a brief list of features and a solitary screenshot:

• Enlist in the Marine Corps
  Bringing you a true sequel to James Cameron’s classic Aliens, get tooled up with classic Marine weapons including pulse rifles, motion trackers and flamethrowers.
• The most authentic Aliens experience ever
  Using authentic environments inspired by the film series including Hadley’s Hope, the Sulaco and LV-426, you will be immersed in an eerie, atmospheric world where any moment could bring your death.
• Drop-in / Drop-out co-operative gameplay
  The masters of co-op bring their expertise to the Aliens universe. Xenos getting too tough? Call up your buddies so they can drop in with extra firepower. The whole campaign can be played with a squad of up to four players, dropping in and out as necessary through self-contained missions within an over-arching narrative.
• Loadouts and upgrades
  Create your perfect killing machine. An extensive upgrade system allows players to customize their characters to play the way they want. Earn experience to get perks, new weapons and new looks for your squad.
