The rest of the marines that died either committed suicide (Vasquez and Gorman) or put up a fight that forced the Aliens to kill them.
I still don't think any of them were kill in a fight, to be honest.
LIST TIME!
Gorman: Blew himself up
Hudson: Got dragged into the floor - probably died of acid because he shot the Aliens as he did
Hicks: Survived!
Vasquez: Blew herself up
Frost: Got set on fire by Detrich and fell over a railing and exploded (clearly wasn't his day)
Ferro: Drove a dropship into the floor
Spunkmeyer: Was unlucky enough to be in the back of said dropship
Dietrich: Taken away and impregnated
Apone: As above
Drake: Acid blooded
Wierzbowski: The guy you never see! Christ knows what actually happened to him, the last thing you saw was his camera panning around and him going "arrrrrgh!"
Crowe: Broke his neck when caught up in the explosion of Frost's ammo bag.
Is that it? I think so.
Wierzbowski makes some wierd struggling noises and Hicks calls for him, I always assumed he was made a host. Could be wrong though.
Rest is pretty much spot on Id say
Its obvious that the prerogative for the Aliens in the film is to establish a hive, and as such they try to take as many hosts as possible.
Also its entirely possible that Spunkmeier simply died in the dropship crash and wasnt killed by the Alien. There is lots of blood when the Alien finds Ferro in the cockpit, but she does reach for a pistol IIRC and likely the Aliens are more hostile towards armed adversaries.
Either way its a kick ass film.
Apparently the deleted scene showing Burke coccooned is on the new BluRay boxset, and now, Youtube.
