Aliens: Colonial Marines has outlined its pre-order bonuses: a set of colonial marines. How fitting. Plunking your money down at GameStop will let you throw down in multiplayer as marines from the classic movie Aliens: Hudson, Hicks, Apone, and Drake. So look forward to people quoting Hudson's "game over, man" line every five seconds.

You'll also get Ripley's flamethrower and some customization options for multiplayer. Check out a trailer that touts the bonuses below.

  Soon we'll see pre-ordering of pre-orders, where you commit to pre-order a publisher's upcoming and unannounced game, for a higher bonus than a regular pre-order after you know what game it is.

    "Hey Vasquez, ever been mistaking for a man?"
    "No, have you?"
    
    "Kickass Vasquez!"
    
    Such a good character.

  So is this pre-order the only flamethrower available? What are the customization options provided with the pre-order that you don't get without?
  Of course, I'd rather soak in a vat of lye, then remove my dermis with steel wool than pre-order this.
