Post subject: | Alien Swarm |
The bloke that wrote the game's Steam page description wrote: Alien Swarm is a game and Source SDK release from a group of talented designers at Valve who were hired from the Mod community. Available free of charge, the game thrusts players into an epic bug hunt featuring a unique blend of co-op play and squad-level tactics. With your friends, form a squad of four distinct IAF Marine classes. Free run and gun game. Intended for four player co-op. Classes with unlockable equipment. So yeah, it's worth a shot. I personally like it. The weapons play well and, assuming you get some friends you know passed pre-school education together to play, the teamwork runs pretty decently too. |

This really had to be the week in which everything has to be released, and I'm stuck on some island separated from my pc! Anyway, I hope there will be enough people around to play it with. A DRL team maybe? |

I know that GI and p3lb0x are playing, as am I. Darlos may or may not be getting it. Etc. for other members. The problem may be that many DRL members are geographically isolated, making playing together somewhat less enjoyable due to unpalatable latencies. |

I'm in Australia, and I got the download first try. So I'm guessing the main rush is in America. |

Yeah I got this game, and it's really fun. I'm seeing about getting a mic if anybody else has one. I can be an okay medic, but I prefer Tech. |

Do what you will, I just got the FlameThrower, woohoo! I really don't care what class I use, just so long as our Medic and Tech are... effective... |

I played once online and ran through most of the game(?), got to level 7 or something. Played Tech the whole way except as Medic in the BURN BIOMASS mission. One other player, who was Medic literally the whole time. |

Considering this is free, this is a pretty great game. Actually, even not considering that it's free, it's a pretty great game. |

I am playing as medic, and damn is the unlockable heal ray awesome. It heals significantly faster, mobilely and at range. A tip I would give is that you shouldn't be afraid to use your grenades/whatever you have equipped. They'll get refilled at the end of the level anyway. |

With good team play, most of the stun weapons are awesomely powerful. Otherwise, not so much. |
