Aliens: Fireteam Elite [ALPHA] vs Aliens: Colonial Marines | Direct Comparison

A direct visual and gameplay analysis of the upcoming Aliens: Fireteam Elite to the infamous Aliens: Colonial Marines.
Fireteam Elite is still in its development phase as of posting this video, and is therefore still subject to change. There are a number of issues I have brought up in this early preview that I hope will be looked into prior to the game's official release next month.

[@Nick930]

Notes: There was a 2nd campaign available in this demo that didn't activate for me at first. It appears that combat androids, eggs, and facehuggers are indeed in the game. The androids explain the need for a cover system - and come in different varieties based on their weapons. Good morning everyone! Hope you're having a good week. Currently deep into production on the "History of Metal Gear." It's set to be about as long, if not longer than the History of GTA, so bare with me. In the meantime, I have a few interesting comparisons lined up including a look at this years F1 2021, stay tuned :)

You made a really great review 👍…I’m actually a big fan of the Colonial Marines game and dragged it out and was just playing it last month, before I even heard about this new version…I’m crossing my fingers on this new one and have just pre ordered it, but your comparison makes the original look superior in a number of ways still like the sound effects for example.

[@Jackacake1892]

Wow I've been progressively more excited for Fireteam but the Pulse rifle sounds so much better in CM and that's such an important thing to get right with it being such an iconic sound/weapon

[@MrJagermeister]

I think they had access to the official sound effects from the films for Colonial Marines. They’re probably less inclined to try and make that authentic now, especially 8 years later with Prometheus and Covenant being the only things to come after the AvP films. At least we had Alien: Isolation. I would love an Aliens game that’s as faithful to the sequel as Isolation was to the original movie. Edit - saw a comment below from the devs that the sound has been changed for the official release.

[@Dakobra_]

I gotta say Colonial Marines has the better gun sounds. The Pulse Rifle in particular sounds much more authentic in CM and just completely flaccid in Fireteam Elite.

[@bjornskarsgard8351]

True but look at the room difference, Cm was a lot more closed in forcing the sound to bounce alot, fire team was in a very open area which will hopefully have an impact on the sound of firearms

[@0NaturalElementS0]

Higgs - ColdIron - 24/07/2021 The gunfire sounds are now a little different than in the preview build (more punch to em), but you'll just have to wait and hear for yourself what they are like in action. We think they sound great and match the gameplay

[@Dakobra_]

@@0NaturalElementS0 I understand that what was shown in the video is a work-in-progress, but it's nice to know it's not final. Hopefully the final mix has the extra punch as you say it does, and that the Pulse Rifle sounds closer to its movie counterpart.

[@CliffuckingBooth]

They patched that. Originally CM had terrible pulse rifle sound. Anyway Bug Hunt in CM is really fun. You can modify it yourself just by rewriting the ini file so that corpses dont disappear and stuff like that.

After a year of post-launch support we can safely say that FTE is a fun little gen. It sets out to be an entertaining coop romp and that is what it delivers. CM on the other hand was set out as a AAA Aliens adventure and it simply didn't delivered (not counting the numerous bugs). For a first time developer with a small budget, Cold Iron Studios delivered a surprisingly good coop experience.

At 16:52 you can see the smart gun is MUCH more responsive in CM than Fireteam. The lever arm actually moves the gun onto the target along with the reticle on screen. I loved this mechanic in CM. In Fireteam, it’s just a bland rectangle that moves around. Where’s the HUD specifically for the *smart* gun? The machine gunner would have the eye piece that allows the gunner to actually see the tracking system. Maybe it’s just because of the 3rd person viewpoint, but Fireteam just looks much less repsonsive.

[@Ziyoblader]

Okay I got to say what the sound comparison colonial Marines nailed it with the pulse rifle elite just sounds a bit off by the second bursts first one is fine but after it's been firing a bit the pitch of the sound seems to go off a bit weird from your traditional pulse rifle I don't know if they did that on purpose to give it a bit more depth of how the machine gun ax in the game depending on if it's hot or cold but it's a new take on the sound a bit might be interesting for some but for me it doesn't grab that nostalgic sound from the movies

[@dannyavarice]

I've also noticed the animation for using a medkit on yourself ends abruptly in several of the early access gameplay videos I've seen for Aliens Fireteam. I'm still looking forward to the release, but I'm really hoping these animations get buffed out. Not seeing the gross slimey atmosphere of a Xenomorph hive in the 20 minute gameplay doesn't exactly dishearten me. When the game releases and we all get to see every mission of the game, I'd be very disappointed if there were no environments with the hive look or facehuggers. Aliens Fireteam is definitely focusing more on the action aspect of being a Colonial Marine. I do like how the Colonial Marines are widely aware of the existence of Xenomorphs by the time Aliens Fireteam takes place. Through some of the dialogue I've heard, it sounds like "Bug Hunts" and dealing with Xenomorphs has become an official part of the training process for the Colonial Marines.

its not taking away from the horror aspect that xenomorphs are so wrongfully known for. Its trying to deliver the "swarm" effect that an established hive will deliver onto intruders. most people only know xenomorphs through horror because that's how the movies have portrayed them. dark lighting in confined places, but theres more to them than that. If you want horror play Isolation. I dont think darkness would make this game any scarier.

Gotta be third person so people can see their character and be drawn to our in-game store to skip the grind for cosmetics they can slather on their avatar.
