Mercs & Marines [Buggy unsupported legacy, Pre-EA25]

Greetenings!

I am Cravitus, Krevinator, or simply Krev! From explosive-slinging pulse rifles to rocket-hauling dropships, up-armored power loaders and plasma-spewing APCs, this mod aims to recreate the bulk of the arsenal operated by the Colonial Marines of the once-mighty ALIEN franchise!

Composed primarily of rapid-fire, high-capacity weapons such as the M41A Pulse Rifle, the Colonial Marines are well suited to rapid strikes, close-quarters fights, and general flexibility as they bring peace through superior firepower.

Although this mod contains weapons, vehicles, and skins, be warned that I am a solo developer in college doing everything in this mod pack, and have never done anything like this before - there will be bugs, and they will need stomping, so if you see something then let me know - I'll get to it eventually!
