I really think you need more weapons, like a shotgun or even the Smart Gun. As for items, the Motion Tracker is always a must. In addition to the Hacking Device for opening doors, you could throw in a few Keycards. You should change the Sniper special ability to something along the lines of say, Head Shot; I have no ideas for the Flamethrower special ability.
I even have an alternate storyline idea for you. Maybe the Horizon mining ship is owned and operated by Weyland-Yutani, and it was also being used for Xenomorph research by the Bio-Weapons Division. The Xenomorphs got out during an experiment gone wrong and killed everyone. Another objective for the Marines could be to download data about the Xenomorphs from the Horizon's mainframe before blowing it. There's another use for the Hacking Device, and there's another new item: the Laptop. Take the Laptop to the mainframe and transfer the data to it.
1. more weapons
Of the Top of my head
Smartgun- Raynor (cause of the extra range)
Pulse Rifle -Marine
Shotgun: Normal ghost (w/0 range upgrade)
Sniper : A Hero Ghost (same reason ahs raynor)
Flamethrower: Firebat
2. Motion tracker, yeh, any give me ideas how to make this work?
3. Keycards etc were already planned
About your story, its kinda unoriginal (coughresurectioncough) but yeh, i think there will be xeno reaserach, so ill probally use that laptop idea too
1. First off, Ghosts don't have range upgrades. Second, hero Ghosts actually have shorter range than regular Ghosts.
2. Here are your triggers (might be a bit buggy). I'm only gonna do the one for Player 1, I'm gonna use the Pulse Rifle for this example, and Player 8 is the Xenomorph player. Hyper triggers may be needed.
- Always.
- Center location labeled 'Motion Tracker' on Pulse Rifle owned by Current Player at 'Anywhere'.
- Preserve trigger.
- Always.
- Player 8 brings at least 1 men to 'Motion Tracker'.
- Play 'MotionTracker.wav'. [Note: The file name may be different for you.]
- Wait X milliseconds. [Note: I don't know how long the wait should be.]
- Preserve trigger.
There's your Motion Tracker for you.
3. Really? Why didn't you say so before?
As for the story, I haven't seen Alien: Resurrection, so I can't comment on that. However, it's good that you're using the laptop idea.
