I just noticed something while using a hallway as a reference for... well, that's a different topic for a different thread.

Anyways, Check this out.

Top right-hand corner, mid blown out ceiling.

Yes, your right. It looks just like a xeno is up there.

Newbs actually spotted the same thing I think, way back when the shots were released, or maybe it was a different screen. (cant remember). But anyway Wieder (a ACM dev before he moved to IW) said:

I was looking at the high res screen and I am pretty sure that is a xeno up there.

I am almost positive its a Xeno. Thats not the only one either. On the first page look at screenie #13, on the far right towards the top of the the middle

there is a Xeno's head and dorsal tubes.

I see the what looks like the dorsal tubes and maybe a head.

I dunno Chris, that’s a tricky call. Maybe its just wreckage designed to look like a xeno?

If its wreckage designed to look like a Xeno, thats just as good cause that will scare people into wasting their ammo and stuff like that.
Another reason for thinking its not a xeno is because its not picking up any movement on the Motion Tracker but that could be because its not moving.

I think it is an alien. And the screen is saying "They are in the ceiling!"

Hunzelman27 · November 4th, 2009, 09:57 PM

Is it just me or are the aliens missing fingers on there hands?

Chris!(($$))! · November 4th, 2009, 10:07 PM

The fingers varies. On some designs use six fingers as where on others its only three fingers. I personally like them to have six or five fingers. Any less than five makes them look primitive in my opinion and I don't like that. The ones in the screens use four fingers but that could change.

Anyone else think number 12 could be the derelict?

**Sh0dan** · November 5th, 2009, 08:03 AM

Thats what I first thought as well, cos its kinda shaped similarly.

But then I noticed the devs had labeled that particular screen, "Hive_Marines_v11_tiledshot.jpg" in the press pack that they released.

Also the devs said the shots, although in game were kinda like mock-ups to test if they got the look right. As Xhan has said before, they aren't indicative of levels we might see in the final game. Though I bet some of those areas, like the Sulaco's hanger and sleep chambers end up in the final product.
