<div class="IPBDescription">Steal it and i'll gas you</div>How about this, an asteroid mining station has become infested with alien scumbags. The marines obviously have to go in and eradicate the alien precense, erm, reason being because the economy of Mars depends on the rare minerals that can be mined from the nearby asteroid belt.
The mining station is primarily located on the largest of the asteroids, and it is this base which has been most heavily infested. It is the marines priority to infiltrate this base, destroy the alien precense there and hopefully return the station to former operations. Problem being that the marines can't get their drop-ship close enough to this central base to land on its docking pad...other asteroids prevent such an action. This means that the marines must land on one of the farther out asteroid chunks and fight their way through the hallways and access ducts leading from each asteroid to each other asteroid. If you need a referance, please look at the beginning of Gunman Chronicles where we start off in the Gunman Command Headquarters which is based on a network of asteroids linked together. The marines essentially have to move from the interior of one asteroid to the next, slowly encroaching upon the aliens central command. Obviously the aliens would want to do the opposite and force the marines off of the station.
As the aliens have infested this place however, they have destroyed some rather vital systems, meaning that in certain places...gravity has a rather lessened effect, and in other places, the structural integrity has been compromised, meaning that if too much fire is placed upon it, it was burst, causing mass decompression...not healthy for budding marines obviously.
Tells me what you guys think, i'll be happy to further elaborate on my idea if it's found to be interesting.

I don't know about the asteroid jumping part... that seems a lil unlikely to me. I was just thinking along the lines of a scientific station built within a large seditary asteroid on the rim of a field. I got the whole inspiration when I saw one of CM's sky maps.
As for Gunman - I know nothing about that.
Umm, maybe i'll actually get the time to make it one day, till then, knock yerselves out boys....and girls.
