ALIENS: COLONIAL MARINES QUERIES FOR ONLINE PC PLATFORM PLAY

To whomever this concerns,
I want to ask; what are your plans to distribute the multi player experience for Aliens: Colonial Marines on PC?
- Will there be dedicated servers? It seems logical this time around.
- Will there be match making and/or server browser, please include both as ping is a problem with match making and sometimes using a server browser can take forever.
- Will you be using GameSpy like with Borderlands or follow STEAM support like Alien Vs Predator 2010? Using STEAM authorization would cut down pirates who want to play the game for the multi player unless they find a way through Hamachi. Borderlands was heavily pirated and played online. I don't know what your relationship with Valve is anymore but it seems logical with the success of Modern Warfare 2 for PC. People loved Borderlands and people love Aliens, I'm sure you can get more in by using STEAM for activation. Besides, Alien VS Predator 2010 was a mediocre game and that was still quite the commercial success.
