There will be no Aliens in the plot so stop disscussing things not related to the game. So you say new kind of story perspective is a bad thing, what about a ww2 shooter where you play a wehrmacht soldier? By the way all the plots about humans save the world from´an alien threat are pretty nosense , if "aliens" could travel large distances to the attack us ,they also got weapon systems that are much more improved than ours, so there will be no hero that saves the world

But back to the game, we are not using aliens at all, playing the bad guy is like watching in the mirror of humanity/mankind, we are no heros, we are not going out and save the world, we destruct our homeplanet day by day. So who is the good and who is the bad, it is just a question of perspective (maybe for animals we are the bad ones ) Zoos etc.
