It's clear that this new Aliens entry is avoiding the worst video games of its past, or at least trying, by not being afraid to borrow from other successful titles. Just like in the Left 4 Dead series, players will also have to learn to avoid the varying enemy types that pose new risks to the player, and players will have to manage their health and ammo, with supplies littered across each game map.
In the new Aliens game, players can expect that same treatment from the legions of Xenomorphs charging at them from every vent in the room. The most obvious adopted feature would be the waves of enemies, swarming the player. It turns out that this new entry is no different in that respect, with Aliens: Fireteam arrival into the co-op shooter genre taking a few cues from its zombie filled ancestor. As the game that launched its own genre, mechanics from Left 4 Dead can be found across all sorts of co-op third person shooters. When talking about any co-op third-person shooter, the discussion rarely goes on without a mention of the Left 4 Dead franchise.

In Aliens: Fireteam, players will fight against 20 varying enemy types, from the classic Xenomorphs to acid spitting and grappling varieties. In this three person squad co-op, players will have to make their way to LV-895 where the squad of Marines is tasked with containing a Xenomorph threat and battling Weyland-Yutani's soldiers in a quest to get back control of the station. The new game in the Aliens franchise from developer Cold Iron Studios, Aliens: Fireteam, seems to take a fair share of inspiration from the classic zombie franchise. With such wide appeal, it's easy to see why so many games would take inspiration from these classics.
Another benefit to the multiplayer appeal of these games is the varying modes available in Left 4 Dead 2, both competitive and co-op, and the addition of content even years later. In the Left 4 Dead, four survivors, made up of players or AI, work together to fight off hordes of zombies that hunger for flesh, complete with a safe haven, campaigns, maps, and more. The co-op third-person shooter Left 4 Dead launched a franchise that would go on to inspire a new genre in gaming.
