Aliens: Colonial Marines

Weekly Giveaway: Aliens Colonial Marines Bandana Edition


It’s that time: our free weekly giveaway. Leave us a comment for a chance to win free game codes and other sweet prizes while celebrating your favorite games. Each Thursday, we post a new question — like us on Facebook to stay in the know.

Your motion tracker continuously scans a 180-degree cone in front of you. Pulsing blips shift from hollow to solid, revealing unidentified moving units or enemies you can’t actually see. As you’re acutely aware of every shadow and every ping on your motion tracker, you hear sounds in the walls. What goes through your head in that instant?

For a chance to win a stylish and terrifying Xenomorph bandana in this week’s giveaway, tell us how you react the moment your motion tracker shifts in pitch. Comments need to be posted in the comments below by February 17th at 11:59pm PT to be considered.

Aliens: Colonial Marines bandana

The Origin team will pick five (5) random commenters to win this week’s prize. Please note, only one entry per person is permitted for each giveaway, and only residents of North America, aged 18 and older, who are not EA employees or affiliated with an EA employee, are eligible. Winners will be contacted via email on their registered Origin/EA email address to claim their prize. Good luck!

What I'll say would happen: "It's go time. I'm going to take down all of you sons of dishes."

What really would happen: "Oh crap! Retreat, faster! They're in the wallszzkjh--... -- "

Hair on the back of my neck stands up, I start going around in circles with my gun in the air. Before I know it I've pissed myself and I have an alien tongue through my skull.

I stay still as I think to myself "What would Ripley do?" as I clutch the flamethrower in my hand.

That's right, burn it with fire.

My heart beats faster and faster, I go into shock because I know there's no escape. A bead of sweat trickles down my forehead......splat! The droplet of sweat hits the ground beneath me. That's when the aliens jump out of the shadows and the only thing left to do is spray & pray. I hit a couple of them then one jumps down from the ceiling and pins be down to the ground. Its face gets close to mine, the breath of this thing is terrible. Almost fish like....and right as I think my time has come. Bang! Sigourney Weaver is there to save me. Then we get married.

My blood freezes solid for a split second. "They're here..." I think to myself.
I ready my pulse rifle for combat, when suddenly out of the shadows jumps a Xenomorph. I unload... feces into my boxers.

Whenever the pitch of the motion tracker increases, that's when I switch over to my tactical or pump shotgun. You know... for close encounters.
