You forgot to mention the coolest part!
The SP / co-op is going to require lots of teamwork because of the nature of the enemies (tight, dark corridors where an attack can come from any direction from any amount of aliens at any time). The preview mentions one part where 4 players might need to go down a corridor. The best way to advance might be having the guy w/ the flamethrower take the lead, 2 guys with pulse rifle covering each flank, and the last player stay back a ways with the motion detector and pistol out(the side-arms are pretty much only for having some defense while using a gadget).
They then described coming into a large room and having player 4's motion detector go crazy, with dozens aliens all of a sudden advancing from all sides. The only way to survive this encounter is to have all the player use their unique skills and hustle like crazy to prepare for the assault. 1 player seals the door behind them, another closes up as many vents as possible, while another set up an auto turret. If all the players aren't working together to do this, you will quickly get overwhelmed from all sides and probably lose the following battle! Then after the action clears, you and your team are clear to begin advancing again.
Now that just sounds awesome!
