Aliens: Colonial Marines is a squad-based first-person shooter in which the player controls four Colonial Marines, each with a different personality and primary weapon. Each player character can carry additional weapons including a flamethrower, pulse rifle, smartgun, pistol, RPG, and many types of grenades. The player controls one marine at a time, issues orders to the others using context-sensitive commands, and may switch between characters at any time.

Is there any way to play this thing in coop LAN without having to waste money for legitimate copies? Whenever my buddies try to connect my lobby closes for some reason.
First of all, I'd like to say thank you to the creator, this mod has made the game tolerable, something I thought was practically impossible.
I do however have one issue, and it is not regarding the mod specifically, but a particular aspect of the aiming mechanic which I find truly infuriating, to the point where even after installing the mod, I still don't want to play until I can find a fix.
The issue I'm talking about is the point-of-aim being completely unaffected by weapon sway. It is most noticeable with the more precision weapons but is true for all of them. When your sights bob around, the bullets still go to the center of the screen - this is extremely frustrating when in a high-intensity scenario and trying to hit enemies, but your sights don't point where your bullets go!
I have in the past(and may again) taped a chopstick to the bottom of my TV with the point directly on the ACTUAL hit location, but this severely reduces immersion and shouldn't be necessary in the first place.
Now, here's my question: Where in the config files can I find the weapon sway value, true aiming location, or some other means by which to correct this problem? If the weapon didn't sway, even if the POA isn't exactly centered on the sights, at least I'd have a constant reference point, also known as "Kentucky Windage" - rather than adjusting your sights, you just point them a little off target to get your aim right. Alternatively, if the POA were to move with the sights, that would work equally well.
All I want is for the sights to actually point on-target. I'm looking through config files now to see if I can find the sway mechanic, but I have not done these things regularly for about 15 years and don't really know what to look for unless it's glaringly obvious.
Well, it´s A:CM and not Sniper Elite. ;-)
You can´t disable the sway. If you wanna have a "frozen point on target" without recoil, play it without the Templar Mod.

I did! , thanks dude! :D
I think I found the answer to my own question.
It is pretty much Game Over Man, Game Over! There is however a sliver of hope.
First off let me say, I did really enjoy the 'final' version of the PC game, after the huge patch and DLC were added, especially the Bug Hunt maps.
There is a petition out there for more Bug Hunt type supported maps to be released. I know its a long shot but its something. If you are an Aliens fan and enjoyed the game please sign the petition. They even got cast members from the 1986 Aliens film to sign, Awesome!!! See link below.
