Look at how well the Marines in aliens did with very little resources and no knowledge of their tactics. Ya the majority of them died but they held out for a long time and took a lot of them out. For what they did have it was pretty impressive. Now imagine A squad designed to take these things out with the nessacary resources. Would they really be dying that much?
We should be able to wear Dutch's Predator mask or any Predator mask as headgear
Yes they had braindead top of the line largely automated weaponry to make skill as irrelevant as possible to protect the investments that are the colonies. The tech doesn’t matter, aliens win eventually in a battle of attrition. Otherwise set up automatic turrets with god aim and call it a day, except that doesn’t work because xenomorphs. People have to eat, sleep and drink. People make mistakes, technology has limits. Aliens don’t aside from requiring a number of hosts and they only zerg when they have the numbers to do so. Eventually you get ambushed and you die.
Nuke every infested site from orbit its the only way to be sure. And then die from the sunken costs.
Again that’s only an issue if the squad is underprepared we can play the attrition game too as long as we have the control. Now yes it is possible that the aliens take control and trap the team. But that’s not going to be 100% of the time. Especially depending on the size of the infected area’s.
(I’m thinking several in and out mission sin the same area)
Starship troopers is my friend Paul’s work. But it is excellent despite him not being James Cameron. I also enjoyed Robocop a great deal.

I’m just going to give this idea a bump while I’m in a somewhat productive mood.
Addition for campaign dlc: once completed both parts of the campaign, the Predator and OWLF Operative Leader will become available as classes for FT and Pred respectively, and their unique weapon will be available as well. Pred class would be somewhere between Scout and Elder, and given the mask on Dutch’s shoulder is smaller than any other pred mask in game, it would be the Newly Blooded class. OWLF Operative leader would be a blend of OWLF Operative and Support. For pred it might be the Shuriken, or possibly the Glaive from Concrete Jungle. For OWLF Leader it might be a OWLF Plasma Shotgun that functions somewhere between the OWLF Pitbull and the OWLF Plasma Rifle, with a high rate of fire, medium DPS, and somewhere between the plasma rifle and Pitbull in terms of objective damage.
That single player idea is still pretty good, and seeing as though the newest leak is single player content it gives me hope.
