Get your Pulse Rifles Ready, Aliens Colonial Marines Moved Up

Ping....ping....ping.  That's INSIDE THIS YEAR!  Game OVER MAN...GAME OVER!

That's right folks, according to Joystiq, the four player co-op friendly Aliens: Colonial Marines will be available before the end of the year.  Originally moved back into a 2009 release slot, the game was bumped back up till late 2008!

The Co-Op mode is set to support true drop in and drop out support with distinct roles for each player.  We guess this means each player will support a weapon type like assault, shotgun and flamethrower - but perhaps like the above screenshot suggests - there are other roles like recon and engineer to weld doors shut.   We can't wait for Aliens: Colonial Marines to hit the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC later this year!

Update:  It appears we are wrong.  The game is still slated for sometime in 2009.  Sorry for the mixup!

I love the Aliens movies and have been looking forward to this one since it was announced.

Dang it Bap, that was going to be MY funny quote!! Almost word for word!

But I'm intrigued with "distinct roles for each player." I call Bishop!

I'd really like for this to be good...but I have a bad gut feeling, and it's not the greasy pizza I had for lunch.

I can't see this being anything other than phenomenal.

I hope I'm right.
