Modder makes Aliens: Colonial Marines playable

One of the worst games in recent memory,  Aliens: Colonial Marines, has finally been fixed—by a modder. This isn't the first time a modder rescued a bad game, and it probably won't be the last.

The game that got a 5/10 on GameZone, the game that forced a studio to shut its doors, the game Gearbox defended and blamed crticism against on "sadistic" players, yes, that game, is now playable.

When you love something, you let it go, unless you are a modder TemplarGFX. He has basically remade the whole game, going so far as to fix its AI.

"Experience Aliens: Colonial Marines how it should have been when it came out," Templar said. "Heavily Balanced and Play-Tested for exciting, suspenseful and most importantly, FUN gameplay.

"Xenomorphs have seen the most work fixing their behavior and mechanics to make them truly terrifying foes to face, dramatically shifting the tone of the entire campaign."

The mod that he calls "TemplarGFX's ACM Overhaul" has reworked, reprogrammed, and replaced the game's AI, weapon mechanics, ballistics, shaders, particles, decals, lighting and other engine features to get the best possible version of Aliens: Colonial Marines.
