Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games
Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain
visual images, including fl ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games.
Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed
condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video
games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered
vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,
confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of
consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking
nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—
children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The
risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following
precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room;
and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor
before playing.

+++ U.S.C.M. Database Entry: BG-386 +++
A humid, temperate planet, located in system WY-BG-3 at a 1.229 parsec,
0.3g deflection from the Kalahari Freight Corridor.

Yo Rookie!
Guess you’ll be in hypersleep when this arrives, so I might as well keep it short. Sorry we were all
too bombed to see you off this morning, man. Still can’t believe you’re the first of us greenhorns

VP78 PISTOL
The VP78 uses 9mm, squash-head rounds for stopping power. When all else is lost,
the VP78s rapid-fi re mode is often the last line of defense for a Colonial Marine
and has saved many lives.
ZX-76 SHOTGUN
Packs one heckuva punch at close range - especially when
using both barrels in alternative fi re modes. Keep it handy, for
intimate counters with alien lifeforms.
M41A/2 PULSE RIFLE
The M41A/2 Pulse Rifl e is the standard issue, multi-purpose
fi rearm for all United States Colonial Marines. An underslung,
pump-action grenade launcher acts as a secondary weapon.
M59/B SMARTGUN
The Smartgun is the Colonial Marines' primary heavy-fi re
support weapon. It is carried using a gyroscopic harness, and
fi res in auto-targeting or free-fi re modes.
M260B FLAMETHROWER
A replacement for the aging M240 fl ame thrower, the M260b
utilizes several improvements. Standard fi re remains perfect
for neutralising massed or fast-moving targets. Secondary fi re
allows you to spray fuel for subsequent ignition, allowing the
user to create a temporary wall of fl ame.
M42C SCOPED RIFLE
Neutralise the enemy at a distance with M42C. Non-standard USCM
issue ordnance, deployed only in special circumstances.
MELEE COMBAT: Your weapons will serve you well for ranged combat. But they can also prove to be
effective melee combat weapons during close encounters. Use them to shield against an incoming Xeno
attack, or to knock them away.

u FLASHLIGHT: Darkness is your enemy.
Use your flashlight.
u FLARES: Use flares to illuminate the combat
area. Your HUD will indicate when a flare is
available.
u STIMS: An injured marine is a vulnerable
marine. Use Stims when injured. Beware, you
can only carry three.
u MOTION TRACKER: Watch and listen to your
motion tracker for hostile signals. They can help
you find the enemy in darkness.

“We are old, my brother. Our race is few and scattered. Our ancestry lost to myth.
The humans are still children, creatures of desire and hubris, with no comprehension of the
long hunt.
Still, they make good sport...
They have discovered a trophy long locked away. They must not be allowed to find the
crucible that spawned our most respected prey. If they succeed, all life will succumb to the
crawling dark...”

u JUMPING: A true Hunter is always on the
move. Jump from vantage point to vantage
point. Use the Jump Markers to identify suitable

u ZOOM: Know your hunting ground! Scan ahead
using Zoom.
u FOCUS MODE: Observe your surroundings

u VISION MODES: Use Vision Modes to find
your prey. Heat Vision will highlight human prey.
Alien Vision, should you earn the right to wield
it, will highlight Alien prey.
u ENERGY: The Plasma Caster and Mines use
energy. This can be recharged at energy sources
around the environment. Monitor your energy
levels on the HUD. Use weapon energy wisely.
u HEALTH SHARDS: A wounded Hunter cannot
perform at the peak of his abilities. Tend to your
injuries with Shards.
u DISTRACTION: Human prey responds to
mimicry of the voices of its fellow humans.
Distract your enemies to separate them, then
dispatch them with a Stealth Kill.

You are ‘Number Six’. Born and raised in captivity, all you have known are the walls of your cell.
But you have never been truly alone. Above it all has been the voice of the Hive, eons old and
with an irrepressible will to survive...
And so you wait and endure, as your kind always have. Soon an opportunity will come,
as it always does, and then your dynasty shall thrive once more...
