Bugs aside, this is the Aliens game I have wanted since childhood.

Being an ultra Alien fan, I took the gamble (after Colonial marines....) and got the Deluxe edition. 100%, NO REGRETS. Very happy with this game - while Isolation will always be the premiere Alien universe game in my heart, we also needed a game like this to live the power fantasy of being a bad ass marine. I'm so pleased with this game - it's basically what i've wanted since I played the side scrolling Aliens arcade game with my dad in the early 90's.

They need to keep supporting this game. Add some new campaign missions. Big bosses and creepy stuff, this game is fun but it can be way better

Melee attacks can dislodge face huggers without doing friendly fire damage Dancing back in forth while shooting in front of teammates on higher difficulties will result in friendly fire Stay close to your team, never to far ahead. If they get into trouble you cant help them. If you get into trouble then they are at risk saving you. Always keep the technician turret between you & enemies. If you are in front of it then you take the damage instead of it. Continuing a campaign will carry over any consumables picked up in the previous mission When possible funnel enemies into narrow areas. Being attacked from all directions is bad. Do not attempt to tank damage from enemies on higher difficulties. Keep falling back until they follow you into an area you can ambush them from. Usually its best not to play the same kit as someone else on your team. Having Doc on your team is not an excuse to act like an idiot expecting him to always heal you. Cryomines are the best consumable Focus on hitting weak points when possible to save ammo & bring down enemies faster Acid based attacks happen way too often & do way too much damage. Timing is key for attacking spitters & bursters since they are the devil.

I've been working my Doc up through the levels, I haven't even started the other classes as of yet. I'm really liking that class, nothing wrong with the others, I just feel all "Dietrich" at the moment. It has been fun so far. Thanks for the informative videos. I'm sure this one will be beneficial to many people thinking of playing as well as those who already are. Slán.

This game is soooo much better than the big reviewers are saying!!!! Its repetitive, non stop carnage, the storys non interested but guess what.....its really really good stuff

This game is surprisingly fun playing solo

So far I'm liking the game Technician Electric bombs are truly life saviours

Listen out for the secret Cache’s in each level they make a very distinct sound, humming noise

You can counter a lunge with a well timed melee 👍

Imagine an aliens colonial marines games that was a story based,squad based tactical shooter like star wars republic commandos or halo similar to halo 5. But include the leveling up and buff of your characters and weapons. Boss battles could be random and include other fox iconic characters.

4:23 Keep your ears open, too. Hidden caches make some humming noise until opened. You can even hear them through walls, so check around corners once you hear that suspicious sound!

love the video. very informative. I'll look to subscribe if you are popping out more alien guides, tips etc

Since the game launch Lancer and Phalanx classes have been added, both are decent classes to play. Phalanx can be quite useful especially if you raise your shield because it helps alleviate some of the damage coming from in front of you, and you can use the shield to melee bash enemies, not a great long range class but quite devastating in close quarters. The only thing I hate about the game is when you get an idiot player on your team that tries to speed run through the game and gets way ahead of you causing you to get swarmed by xenos, it's called Fireteam Elite for a reason hence the key word being TEAM. Sticking together helps win the damn levels.

The Legacy lads ! Holiday Tidings and Best wishes for the New Year, a big cheers 🍻 for all the quality content you guys have been putting out 👍🤘 (Okay, so as an Aliens fanatic AND someone who had their spirit crushed by Colonial Marines..........I waited until a few months had gone by, took note of how well this game has been received.........I 'think' I can fire this up and actually enjoy a solid Aliens game (Isolation is a masterpiece, but of a different tempo to Aliens) !

excellent video, production level and information delivery are top notch!👏

Playing this game after 6 months of Witcher 3 with the two expansions has been such a good experience. Mindlessly running and gunning and not having to manage tons of stuff has been awesome.

I wish they had added, "utilize chokepoints". The Spartans figured this out a long time ago, yet so many Marines want to fight hordes of Aliens on open ground. Rather than letting them come at you from all directions, force them through a single access point and crush them!

thank for the informative info. my friends and I are loving this game and we're only in 12 hrs

You just earned a subscriber thank you for the heads up.👍👍👍

Excellent game and experience. This is what the fans wanted from a Colonial Marines game set into the Aliens universe.

This was good to know. I been main running a Demolisher and lovin' it!

We need a game like this for Starship Troopers!! I'm still patiently waiting for an amazing ST game!

They even have the Marine facts on point. The 1348 had me dead.

I have a lot of hope for this game. If they update it properly and add new fun things like weapons, classes, gadgets, enemies, etc. It could go the mass effect 3 multiplayer route and become a cult classic that is still played many years after release

One thing that has eluded me all game is where certain weak points are. The Head would be obvious, Runners, Bursters, Warriors, whatever. But Bullets visibly bounce off a Crusher's head, indicating that maybe all the damage isn't getting through. Kinda wondering where I should be shooting those bigger things. They go down fast enough, but I think they could go faster if I knew where to hit it. Especially where I don't have player team mates to back me up most of the time.

loving the game! wishlist: a crouch button, customize the skins colors of all our gear like changing the camo and stuff or being able to choose long sleeves, short, etc. making the eye lwear separate from headwear, adding a cigar in the mouth, the option to have just a moustache (trying to recreate Apone here if ya havent noticed) also the ability to let us create our own class. being able to customize each class as different characters (like Recon customized as apone, demolished customized as drake, gunner as hicks, tech as hudson, etc) an aliens (1986) dlc content

EVERY UNDERRATED!!! This game gots a load of action packed into it.

Just got this game, love it

At first it seems a meeh game but it is relly good , i'm hooked and you will like it if you are a true ALIEN fan, of course it is not perfect but I'm sure they will improve it ...but maan when you hear the scanner sound and the iconic Alien weapon sound :) what do you want more ?? 9/10 RECOMENDED

My brother and I sat down and beat the campaign on standard in one session. Haven't done that since we were kids, ton of fun

Natural energetic voice for RU-vid videos 👌🏾🔥 Thanks for the video

I spawned in with a cache to my right of me in the first room of the mission. Normally it’s in middle or even end of a mission. Definetly keep your eyes open

Love the content! I was wondering if you could do a video on your favorite cards to us and which ones you find aren't even worth it.

Gunner main here.. Going commando style is always fun imo . definitely trying demolisher next

you forgot to mention that the caches make a low humming sound that can help you find it

U know it’s definitely a fun alien game i’m looking forward to seeing if they grow it a lot of room to grow with this game depending on how they take it

I like my German MG42 with the Kawasaki AR124 parts on it, I mean Smart Gun. Highlighting enemies only works when you look down your sights on Standard mode.

Not enough players on multi!!! Game is solid game!!! Even in easy mode, really hard!!! Did not even pass the first level!!!

Something they didnt say (and my friend cant hear because he uses crappy speakers) is the Hidden Cache has a loud pulsing hum. You can hear it from about 100 M, but it kind of blends into the background sounds. Once you get used to it, its very noticeable. Next time you find one, dont open it right away, listen for a few seconds and try to memorize the sound, even run around that room and see how far away you can hear it from

totally love this game!!!

Thanks!

Game over man game over !!

You Rock nice ideas

Game is soooo much fun, me and my buddies been having a blast!! Great video as always fellas! Keep up the great work 👍🏽

Started playing today, currently sitting at 250+ with some nice attachments and weapon combinations, the default is so easy and I was debating the 500+ power score, still might give it a go but your advice on this video has made me question my thinking 😂

The ammo consumables will restock a weapon that is completely empty with the percentage of your MAX ammo that it states.

Love your vids man and always do your builds in AC Valhalla.

How many people watch Aliens after playing this sweet game😀

One of my favorite games to date.

Such a sick game so much fun

Great vid, bought the game a few days ago and still found this helpful. Thank you.

Love this game

I honestly wasn't looking forward to this game since colonial marines was such a shit storm but im really enjoying the game so far, there are a few things i wish were in the game or a but differant but i cant wait to see what the developers have in store for the future. Now im about to watch Aliens for the millionth time.

Thanks

Also, fun fact it may seem absurd, but the technician class is the actual "heavy" of the game It has an infinite ammo turret that if destroyed reloads in 15 secs , which is like a portable Smart Gun but with more damage a heavy damage magnum that can solo any enemy in less that a clip and has a "headshot tracking" feature by taping the aim+shoot a heavy damage shotgun that, modified can get up to 30% accuracy+30% effective ratio+fast reloading And the turret can be turned into a friggin flamethrower at lv.3, which can solo a whole horde if u place a Cryo grid under it and stay next to it to keep it's health up And the shock mines are a game changer against any boss, since they stun even preatorians

I love this game!!!! 💚🖤

This game is hard strategy. If you don't have a good team and be on same page you get eaten lol

Had a very interesting bug last night. Every "normal" alien had been replaced with the exploding type. There were 100s of exploding Aliens at once. Level 3. We didn't stand a chance.

Love the game :D

It's not perfect and it's basically just Gears of War - Aliens Edition, but it's decent fun in my opinion.

I just came back tot he game recently, did they get rid of the challenge card recycling mechanic?

This gane make feel like Hudson, when the enter enter into the station.❤

Yo, great video! This made me get Fireteam Elite, looking forward to it!

Thanks for the tips! Methinks I need this game! Question though... is it couch co-op?

Just dropping in to say what's up

i heard you can change your system time and date to access future daily and weekly challenges

Any idea where you can find the elite synthetics there’s nothing on you tube and one of the weekly challenge is to kill 30 of them ( Elimination : Elite Synthetics )

I'm stuck on core lift won't regroup elite so now I need to find to get pass that !!!

*The No HUD challenge card is savage.*

Did you know the secret crate make a noise when you are near it i turned down my music so i can hear it much clearer

6:27 Dam that Warrior was not playing around! Finish Him$

2 years later and he still helping a gamer out with his lil bros❤ this guy makes great tip videos, that sounds so gay lmao

Hey Legacy gaming, please do an updated Aliens video with all 4 seasons and new pathogen update!

My main complaint about this game is the Medic/Doc class is under valued, i get people taking all the stim packs for themselves not realizing it recharges my med station, no one stands in the med station to get healed.. and there is no way to show how much you healed people at the end of the match, so sometimes during fights im healing people and not killing, and it just makes it meh.. most people also seem to just play the same class and spam grenades and flame throwers and on harder difficulty they just team kill you with splash damage.

For a small studios video game, it’s quite a great game

has anyone had a bug where with a party the challenge cards causes you to not be able to use your q and e and f keys in the keyboard and also your space bar?

Really good tips for new starters thanks for that i cant understand the reasons people criticise this game, one dude gave 2/10 because the mouths didnt move when they speak...really? Thats your main reason? Im actually having loads of fun in this game and theres so much content to unlock not to mention upcoming content every 3 months maybe new modes will be coming out, so far this game is a 8/10 because there are still some bugs that need patching, to all of you who want state of the art graphics, forget it, this game is about gameplay how all games should be mainly focused in my opinion, if playing solo technician is recommended mainly because of his turret and slowing abilities, have fun people!

This game is solid, damn good fun. Thanks for the tips.

Having way more fun with this game than expected. Good advice buy as many challenge cards as you can.

I just set the game on Casual mode... super fun not sweaty!

Disclaimer: If your going to read this then be prepared as though , for me, it's not a huge amount of comments but it is more than most will be prepared to type... With respect to this upload & the gentleman talking through this upload , to me , it wasn't making a statement of " I wish I knew sooner " with regards Alien Fireteam Elite having many issues within this one game... For me the heading makes it come across as if he played the game & then found out that it didn't play the way he thought it would & in essence all he has done is to tell you " A How To Progress in " Alien Elite Fireteam " Maybe I've taken the heading description the wrong way as it comes across as if he has found a ton of problems in the form of the many issues with playing abilities & just playing this game which has been a constant ongoing problem since the launch of the PS4 & Xbox One... Sure there were a few issues with game's on the older console's being the PS3 & Xbox 360 but those very minimal , compared to today's constant gaming problems , issues were down to the limitations of those older console's & what the Game's Developer's could deliver & even though the game's would occasionally crash the other problems were to do with framerates & how restricted those game's developer's could do for game's on those console's with regards to pop up/screen tear & all other graphical issues they had to contend... But compared to the current console's constant ongoing & never ending problem's with the game's developed for those console's after the PS3 & Xbox 360 , being the PS4 & Xbox One , I can easily say I had so much better gaming enjoyment from those older console's & as a very long time gamer I think the PS4 & Xbox One will be remembered for too many wrong reason's which I'd rather not type in as it would be too long a comment... I know this game hasn't had a lot of great reviews because of its overall in game content & though with many gamer's stating this game could've had a lot more to it in the longevity of this game , yet for what I've read in RU-vid Comments is that the gamer's are enjoying it... Even though this game is basically a shot the shit out of all the various types of Alien's/Androids & Face Huggers & though it may not feel like a huge game as far as a lengthy campaign/multiple multiplayer game's to choose from along with co-op gameplay also & other game modes but , again , for all I've seen & read this game is just what the doctor ordered even in its not good as what we expected & hopefully this game's developer's will fix & add new options & better overall gameplay over time... There's a very thin line between Campaign & Co-Op with regards to most games that have more that one AI Character within games that many class as a Campaign based game that has Multiplayer Gaming along with Co-Op also but isn't that exactly what games like all the " Gears Of War " game's do when a gamer plays alone as even in those game's they were more classed as a Campaign based game with the addition of Multiplayer & Co-Op yet Alien Fireteam Elite is being touted as a Co-Op game... If you want to play alone you get AI Bots , so it's a bit of a grey area when classing a game into a very specific particular mode & though many campaign game's have co-op I still understand why this is classed as a Co-Op first & foremost & even though you can go solo but that doesn't make it a campaign based game & single player gamer's are being allowed to join in what is in essence nothing more than a run & gun 3rd Person Shooterv& not a campaign based game... You can also tell that this is basically a barebones game when you see the size of the Game Installment file size which its stating as 12.93GB but will no doubt be double (about 25G) when you add in the room for Save Files & those , hopefully , constant ongoing updates... Now as much as I am more pissed off with the PS4 & PS4 Pro & the Xbox One & Xbox One S with these ongoing update patches we unfortunately need them as there are way too many game's that are released that are definitely not 100% developed & we've put up with this in the hope that these game's developer's fix any & all issues but also add more to the game & gameplay that they couldn't have had done on its original release date... Some may take this comment as being harsh but I speak honestly & as a very long time gamer who backs & buys all console's that are released but the stance that game developer's have taken & not changed since the PS4 & Xbox One were first released which is their constant ongoing release of game's that clearly haven't been fully developed & finished properly... As they haven't bothered to hire Game's Testers or those game developer's would've known about all of the bugs & glitches as those Game's Testers would have played those game's daily & on a constant basis so they could spot any issues & inform the developers but their constant lazy fall back attitude & reply of " We'll fix it with ongoing updates " has gotten out of hand & it goes to show you they are treating their customers aka Gamer's with indifference & a lack of respect when they constantly do this... Gamer's shouldn't have to wait for a game to be fixed when it should've ran without these constant problems on its original release & I know of no other business that is allowed to do this when your talking about a product that's been developed then released as complete & new when it's first released!.. In light of this still ongoing coronavirus stay safe and healthy wherever you are in this world... .....

For the hidden cache they all make a particular noise. Keep your EARS peeled! 👍🏽

Your work is really helpful Thank you my man

If you disconnect at the beginning of the mission you also loose the challenge card. You also can't rejoin the mission in progress. I've heard some people are having problems disconnecting in the beginning of a mission. I'm going to wait to see how they handle the game breaking problems with this game.

Hopefully they make more outfit or different colors

Where do you get the rampage perk ?..please help.. I can't seem to find it..

The biggest tip i learned is save your money like in game money cause you'll only earn enough for like 3 weapons during campaign and you wanna wait to buy a weapon until you know the class you like most I learned I love demo to late so I couldnt afford the rockets

Way better than Colonial Marines so far... We shall see what it gives us in the future

🤘🏻

1:48 Who needs enemies with that aiming?!

Love the game so far, just wish the matchmaking worked for me, haven't made it into a game yet. 😂

My only issue with the game so far is I really wish we had a crouch button to allow me to do it when I chose rather than it only being an option when presented with it!

How do you ready up for a mission? I have pressed every button on the controller!!!

Does anyone know the difference between the M12 RPG and the M12A1 rocket launcher?? I've been trying to look it up but I can't find a single video about it. N

Yo i took my chances on this game… if you’re wondering if you should play it… HELL YEAH! I spent HOURS on this game my first run. I know it’s not up to par with most games nowadays but this game is hella FUN with it without friends.

I don't think you can use your banked turrets in horde mode. Only the ones you buy from the shop during the run.

I was wondering I got alien fireteam normal edition and then got the deluxe upgrade later but it’s not giving me my rewards, I am on Xbox by the way. What do I have to do in order to get the deluxe rewards.

Wow.. This game is pretty much Left4Dead in space!
