Search online for "classremapping tether fix for Aliens Colonial Marines" There's a typo in the game engine ini file, the word "tether" is spelled wrong. This one typo broke the AI's pathfinding. If you fix the typo, the game goes from being a 4/10 to a 9/10. It goes from being laughable to one of the best Alien FPS I've played. crazy how a single letter typo caused a game to get terrible reviews for like a decade.

One of my favorite games of all time! Grew up on the 360 version, and the PC version is so much better its criminal. It still good in 2025 at max settings and has one of the best multiplayer components ever. Highly overlooked game and is easily the best Alien experience aside from Alien Isolation. I think Colonial Marines blows Fireteam Elite out of the water.

I remember going to the GameStop at our local mall with my mom to preorder this game as a birthday present, since it was coming out just a few days after my birthday. Not a perfect game by any means, but I have some good memories with this one... Thanks, mom.

I recommend this game NOT because its good, because it really isn't, I mean REALLY isn't. It does have enough nostalgia and the sound of the pulse rifle alone can, in some cases, carry it. The story is abysmal and even with the broken AI "tether" issue fixed its still bad. On the right day, in the right mood, this game CAN satify an itch to kill XENOs with complete disregard for anything else.
