So, in fact, we'll know what they are when a movie will decide what they really are.

To be more presice, I think the alien baby(?) absorbs some of the DNA and characteristics of its host and thus, you have all kinds of Aliens.
In a dog, out comes a Dog Alien. Goes on all fours and is very agile and fast.
In a human, out comes a "human" Alien. Walks on twos. Smart, cunning and deadly.

nono, it's not what I meant. In Alien1, the victims TURNS into the eggs, for exemple, in a scene that has been cut, you see on of the guys of the crew half turned into an egg, and Dallas is about to bear the same mutation, and asks Ripley to finish him off (doesn't that reminds you of something? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)). Believe me, the other guy half human, half egg is pretty disgusting.

Is that not the alien has 'trapped' him in that filament crap, the same way as it builds it's nest?
Anyway, the Queen lays the facehuggers, which implant the alien embryo in the host.... presumably both the host DNA and even the environment the alien grows in has an effect. In Alien 4, they made an Alien with a womb (that odd yellow thing at the end).
BTW, any news on alien 5? i think it's where the Aliens finally get to Earth.

Actually (granted I'm not a fan of FPS so I don't own either game) I'd thought the Aliens should fall fairly easily. In the movies their main advantages are partially the animalistic hunting skills (Marines aren't exactly used to big two legging beasts running through the ceiling) but mostly it's shear numbers. If Alien 1 you add in a squad of Marines I doubt it would have been all that much of an issue (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
Preds thou....well...we all know the result of Pred 1,...you've gotta be a big steroid induced guy with a bad accent to convince one to blow itself up (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

wwhat he says. In aliens, the aliens physionomy is completly rethinked. They even look different (slick head/ segmented head).
