Catching the empty sandbags thrown to him by Ishizawa, Octavius turned his impassive gaze towards his fellow marine and nodded at his words.  "Good idea, we must move quickly if we are to be in position by the time enemy troops get here," replied Private Mongo. Working quickly he filled several mor...

"SQUAD THREE, EVERY ONE TO ME" Silas yelled over the sound of gun fire. "GRAB ANYTHING YOU CAN START FORTIFYING THAT HILL. GRAB ANYTHING YOU CAN FIND AND FOLLOW ME". Silas quickly looked around, spotting an upturned desk he grabbed it and began running for the hill motioning for his squad to follow...

Upon being briefed on the situation, Tyler immediately moved off as the rest of the Marines scrambled as well. He began looking for his squad leader, Corporal Silvanus, but was too slow, and only ended up being caught by Segeant Bennett. The Sergeant threw a Sandbag into Tyler's hands, ordering him ...

"It seems that the Corporal is busy at the moment and the tents do need to be put up.  I shall be happy to help," stated Octavius. "Thanks Mongo, I'm a city guy, never was too good a camper" , replied Tyler over the wind. True to his word, Tyler had grown up in a city, and had very rarely gone camp...

"Corporal Silvanus!  What are our orders, sir?" asked the marine, his voice holding a trace of an accent. Tyler stepped off the dropship and looked around. It was a world unlike any he had seen before. Gloomy, windy, dark, and almost devoid of any vegetation. It was all very awkward for him, but af...

Damn, the SPAS-18 is one fine looking shotgun. 

Out of curiosity, what's the policy on how many weapons a character can carry though? In the movie Hicks carried a shotgun in addition to his pulse rifle, does that also apply to this game?

Yeah I see the link in the beginning of this thread, I thought that the form would be on the "Join USCM" page.

Thanks for the help. Well, off to the character sheet now.

Sorry I've been inactive for a few days, busy in real life.

I've been having problems trying to create my character. I went to the "Join USCM" link but all I see is some text saying to join the forum first and a pic of hicks. No links or forms to fill out.

I've tried to join on firefox, safari, and internet explorer, but still no luck. What should I do

Seems we'll never stop cracking dead dirk jokes 

Just out of curiosity, If we are permitted to keep our old characters, then we start off with more exp points right? If it's alright with you Nick, I'd like to keep my old character. What would the story behind it be though? That our characters have had combat experience, just not with xenos? Or wou...

[quote=""Dugan""]"Ok you heard the Leuitentant get all your gear and weapons cleaned up and policed away then fall out grab some chow and relax, you have 3 hours before we hit the cryo tubes". [/quote] Tyler did as ordered. He tiredly stepped off the dropship and back onto the familiar cargo bay of ...

They'd done it. They were alive. It was as if the platoon had defied all odds, but they were done with this hell hole, and they were alive. But at what cost? Several good men lost. He sighed, We were bound to lose at least a few with an operation like this . Tyler's wounds weren't too serious, just ...

Tyler let out a grunt as soon as the xenomorph's tail slammed into his forearms. The impact had caused him to drop his tracker into the darkness, but he still had his pulse rifle in his hand. The attack had thrown him back a bit, but he quickly managed to regain his balance. He quickly brought up hi...

"I count 20 hostiles incoming!" , Tyler shouted out to his fellow marines as he read his tracker. He then heard a scream, followed by ward dropping out of the pipes in the ceiling. Tyler sighed a breath of relief, seeing that ward was alright, momentarily forgetting that the xenos were closing on t...

WARD!!! FUCK!!! screamed Tyler as the man was pulled away in the blink of an eye. But before Tyler could say or do anything, the trackers started going off. God, not this shit again... "We've got movement closing in on us, trying to lock in" , Tyler said as he desperately tried to figure out where ...
