If it's half as good as the Marine campaign in AvP 2 then it'll be worth getting (I just hope you don't end up in a lifter/exo-suit again...that part kinda sucked).

The fact that it's squad based and (from what I could read in those shots) you have 4 men could be good or bad. It won't be as lonely and scary as the AvP 2 that's for sure. I just hope you can actively jump between the 4 marines...and if one dies he/she is DEAD and gone unless you reload. If they do some idiotic system like in the CoD or MoH games where you have a neverending supply of generic replacements that fill in as soon as one of your men dies...well that will suck and I won't be buying it.

Also, those shots look awfully brightly lit. Maybe brightened (or showing well lit spots) just for the magazine shots.

And after all that nit-picking...I still have (relatively) high hopes for this game.

Oh...and I sure hope they include the 4 player coop mode in the PC version (now that sounds fun). But of course they won't or it will require a friggin x-box live account to play probably.
