I mentioned this in the Steam Deals thread, but it needs a thread of its own.
Its an old UT2004 mod, which is now ported to the Source Engine - because Valve hired the dev team.
More importantly its FREE.
So guys, even if you dont use steam normally GET IT NOW!! Its got coop campaigns and so on ala Left 4 Dead but this time its you and your mates shooting aliens top down (alien breed amiga style!) and in isometric view.
Linkage: http://store.steampowered.com/app/630
I'll be organising coop campaigns and shit via our steam group ;)

Just dont d/l today, servers are being hammered globally for this.

It isnt as mindless as it seems, each character brings to the campaign different skills - medic, heavy weaps, trooper/officer and engineer guy. Each with their own style of weaps/accessories, meaning some of the "puzzles" involved can be worked out quite well.
Personally Im enjoying it, and Im quoting Aliens all the time!
-
Nice! That looks pretty badass!
First thing im doing when I get home ( right after the scotch and the soft sobbing into a pillow ).

No, just being dramatic and a bit silly. :)

haha :D
Anyways only downside is a single campaign for coop (for now, since the mod tools were released in the same release it seems to community will have maps up in a week or so. Hoping someone will do an Aliens related campaign!) and just 1 map for offline practice.
Still 64 achies to get and several unlocks so should last a while and as its free im not whining anymore.

Ooooo
Thanks for this - gonna try it out later I think.
Wont be as terrifing as AVP, but could be "fun" nevertheless.
-
for the lazy:
In a running game of Alien Swarm simply go to Options > Keyboard > Enable developer console. Then hit ` (to the left of 1) and type:
firstperson
asw_hide_marine 1 (or '0' according to Mang)
asw_controls 0
And then you can experience the terror first hand.
-
asw_hide_marine 0
works better for me - 1 shows my marines head (its like a headcam), 0 doesnt show any marine.
-
PS garry added a game of this for this evening (Sunday evening) on the HoJ group in steam.
-
prolly wont make it.
family birthday
-

-
Found commands to add bots :)
Yay!
-
Remember people this is a
(http://www.norcalblogs.com/sustainable/free.jpg)
game.
So everyone should own it.
As the bots are a little dumb and real people - usually - arent.
-
Great fun.
Played campaign thru on Normal, lots of achies were gotten, fun was had, I shot people lots (Friendly Fire, Best Fire). Bots were okish, but we need maor people to own this :D

Press ` to get the console up.
cl_selectm (marinenum) (slot) (Brackets arent needed by the way)
(marinenum) being numbers 0-7 for Sarge, Wildcat, etc. through Vegas, respectively.
(slot) being 0-3, for players 1-4, respectively. Slot number -1 can also be used to add to the first available slot.
cl_dselectm (marinenum) (slot)
to remove ones that arent what you want.
Sarge "cl_selectm 0 x"
Wildcat "cl_selectm 1 x"
Faith "cl_selectm 2 x"
Crash "cl_selectm 3 x"
Jaeger "cl_selectm 4 x"
Wolfe "cl_selectm 5 x"
Bastille "cl_selectm 6 x"
Vegas "cl_selectm 7 x"
x being the slot you want them in - ideally 3 or 4, that way you and the other play are 1 and 2.
========
F2, f3 or F4 to control them ingame if it appears needed.
