Easter eggs and Lore in CM

[IrishCow]

I know that The Almayer was the ship in the cancelled Aliens RPG by Obisidian, and I've noticed the Model 37-12 Gauge Pump Action shotgun from Isolation. What other litte easter eggs/lore carryovers have you noticed in game that other might not?

[solidfury7]

The Commanders terminal has a few easter eggs on it.

[Hughgent]

Most computers email is people complaining about how they can't remember the commanders name.

The ships in the Aliens universe are all named after characters from Joseph Conrad books.

[Sargeantmuffinman]

This is just a hunch but I think the book Space Beasts is in Prison station.

[RobBrown4PM]

The obvious one is the Roci from The Expanse series is crashed on the prison station.

Aspen beer on the CL office
One of the round end sounds is a part of a song in Isolation
The Almayer's class is the name of a North American tribe, in reference to the Sulaco's class name which also is a tribe name (Almayer being Arikara and Sulaco being Conestoga)
CMB spearhead revolver is a reference to Isolation's revolver and the UPP carbine sprites are entirely based on the ones in the DS game aliens infestation.
Edit: and so is the UPP armor

The CO's cat is the same cat from the original Alien movie, Jones.

Examining the dropship consoles will reveal some more indepth lore around the name and history of both birds.

The Ancient Empresses' upgrade quote is "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end." Which is a biblical quote from Revelation 22:13.

There's a bunch more

Ancient ravagers examine text for xenos is, As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

[RobBrown4PM]

There's an e-mail on the computers complaining about the lack of camo patterns for Marine weapons.

Ancient ravagers examine text for xenos is, As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

that's too from the bible https://biblehub.com/psalms/23-4.htm

okay this one is a little bit obscure, but on the marine ship there are pulse rifles, smartgunners, colonial marines with their signature armor, and motion trackers, all taken from the hit movie aliens, it's a bit hard to find but it's a nice easter egg

Shhhhh, don't say that while Fox is around. They'll sue us into the ground!

[Mister Jeether]

There is a e-mail in the almayer personal computers that says something about pineapple pizza MREs. Probably apop's idea.

[Slywater]

There's all sorts of dev in-jokes in areas surrounding the Almayer.

[Snypehunter007]

My name is hidden in the game on some sprites and there was is the joke "super secret dev room" I made added on a random whim that now resides in the "space" z-level.

Can confirm. The only mechs in game also have an easteregg with snype in it. Although the last one should be broken down.

Care to break it down for me? You can put it in storage and replace the active one with yourself if you want. You'll need to be able to distinguish between my suits and yours though.

I'll be away for this weekend. I'll check after it. (But you might just get an F.R.I.E.N.D. suit.)
Or I will do something else that is awesome.

You know that facehugger you can wear on your face called Lamar? It's a reference to Dr.Kleiners pet headcrab from Half-Life 2.

You can wear every dead facehugger. I don't know if it blocks xenos from infecting, but it might have potential to do it, since marine can't put, or take off it from another marine's face, even when it's dead. Try to test it out in Dome, becouse this might allow Powergaming.

Just to not be off-topic: Auto9 in wiki is a gun that Robocop uses.

[carlarc]

auto9 is also insanely op

dead huggers dont block new ones, this was once not the case and marines ran through egg fields to clear them like billion IQ men
