Oh, and maybe it's me but this shows Gearbox can't make jack shit other than Borderlands and Brothers of Arms. Randy Pitchford should be ashamed of himself.

Much the same with DN, this game has been through the hands of a few dev. teams… It seems the old IP's that Gearbox do pick up are so beyond repair that the only real result can be that they suck ass…

It would also seem that the only part of the game people say is ok, the MP, was the only part that Gearbox actually developed themselves… http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-02-12-aliens-colonial-marines-primary-development-outsourced-to-section-8-developer-timegate-studios-report

I heard it was the other way around myself, that Gearbox had done most of the work and outsourced the MP section??

And even though the games have been pretty poor I think it shows a certain, albeit failed, ambition… Taking chances that few others are? They do need a solid new IP though, people aren't gonna forget DN and A:CM for a good while  They need something to prove they ain't no one trick pony and shake off the bad rep. they now have… A:CM should have made amends slightly for DN, not add to the sh!tstorm…

And Half-life was a pretty good port, I know they didn't make the game… Gearbox even up-scaled it a little back then  They can do some things right… Sometimes….
