Anyone here in to Aliens, or doing USCM impressions? Not quite reenacting, but a cult following that has a huge trail of folks who portray Colonial Marines at all sorts of conventions, and even play wargames as such.

Colonial Marines eh? So what are you guys 1600's explores and such? kidding of course. Never heard of people following aliens by doing that (and I thought I was a little nuts for portraying people 60 years in the past)

No, from the movie Aliens the Colonial Marines. But I think HALO would be easier anyways.

USCM stuff is not cheap, but Halo stuff would be pretty cool. I think it would be fun to do a HALO marine, he just wears, what, grayish green?

Well it depends what you'd want to do for HALO. A Marine or ODST? Sgt. Johnson (Marine) Looks a little like Polish camo. ODST Black suit? With full seal helmet. And I think there is an airsoft gun that looks a lot like a BR. But I'd prefer an AR.

Does polish camo come in a sort of urban-camo-like color?

My friend in afghanastan right now talked about the polish soldiers at his base and gives the highest regard to them. about 5-6 of them VOLUNTEERED to go on a patrol with him in order to re-unite a gi on leave with his wife in the neighboring base. The route they took had taken their heaviest ambush to that date, and the polish soldiers were the only ones except for him and 2 other American soldiers who volunteered to go. It's really left a lasting impression on him, and as a small thank you he allowed them each the 1 hour privelage of using his issued computer.
Sorry to get off topic, So this colonial marines thing is HALO? Right?

HALO seems like it got some of its ideas from Aliens, easy, but it's still an original game. And I saw Aliens a few weeks ago. Kickass.

Aliens is by far one of the best Sci-Fi movies I've seen incorporate the military with.
Hicks, I'm Kedyw on Aliens Legacy. How far along are you with your impression? I'm ordering armor tomorrow, but i can't seem to find the BDUs needed.

Not far at all, not enough to post. I have VP70 Pistol, a flak jacket, and some other small stuff but that's it. I'm working on my Nerf Longshot right now though. Like I said, it's more expanded universe. On Aliens Legacy, I'm 'Cpl. Lipni' Not sure about BDU's, haven't seen Safariflage camo out for a long time...

Going back to HALO I am sure you could take a FN F2000 and convert it into a battle rifle, if you really wanted too.

The closest camo i ever found for USCM was "urban" british DPM , that's what i used to wear a while back for USCM before i stopped doing that.

Wee Halo 3 came out. It's really good.
Everyone should play it at least once.

Not a bad way to win an mp44, looks like you had some steep competition too.
