Alien Swarm - New Valve Game

AphexDreamer · Jul 20, 2010

OMG! Its what I've always wanted

Look back in 09 what I posted. Its almost as if Valve read it and made it just for me

Now it only it were an FPS.

yea um for me this game is broken, cant set up a dedicated server with HLtools that actually functions, dedicated server tool creates a server no one can join, hosting a game from within doesn't work either...wtf

Hows the game? Singleplayer wise... Or is it an only multiplayer game?

1Kurgan1 · Jul 20, 2010

Just played some with Shev and another friend, very fun game, love the autogun, but the infestation level is BS.

Mussels · Jul 20, 2010

got it, downloading it, reading thread now

mdsx1950 · Jul 20, 2010

This game looks a lot like Alien Breed Impact. :eek:

HammerON · Jul 20, 2010

Free game! Whats not to like

Downloading at 986 KB/s

theonedub · Jul 20, 2010

My download is going now no issues at my maximum line speed

Guess I will just wait to play it for myself to find out how the controls are.

This game is epic win!

Stak · Jul 20, 2010

Man t bad im not home now so i could at least download it

AltecV1 · Jul 20, 2010

tried to download again and im getting download speed on 1.2 MB/s (its my max connection speed ) well its definitely a nice speed boost over the 0KB/s what i got yesterday

Game is good, though i'd prefer camera and movement from Madballs. So the camera is following the character and the world is actually rotating. It gives a different approach and feel. Better one in my opinion. Infinite ammo in Madballs is also a plus so you can focus on fun, not worrying about ammo. But other than this Alien Swarm seems like a fun game.

Any idea what engine is used? Source Engine? Unreal?

mdsx1950 · Jul 20, 2010

Am i the only person who thinks that this looks exactly like Alien Breed Impact???

The most Epic free game ever created.

it uses source engine, says so all over the place iirc.

infinite ammo = gay

rotating world = gay in a team game "head up to me!" "which ways up?" "the other up, noob!"

just beat it once, was amusing

Took us what, 2-3hrs on hard?.

It was alright though, but is far too short for a full game, Maybe it's free because it's a demo in disguise? lol. Do want moar, which we'll probably have to pay for - but that's acceptable for this imo, assuming it's not overkill in price.

as i said while we were in game, its entirely possible the extra levels will come out as paid DLC, or just free ones from the mod community.

It's not gay if it only applies to low power weapons (sidearm). Main weapon has ammo. L4D2 system and it works great imo. As for rotating world, there are arrows pointing to team mates you know, so if you cannot follow those, then no game is for you.

wow it is un-fucking-believable how many retards are in this game

either you can't connect, and after 10 tries you finally get in and people have no clue how to play

lol, after a while though this problem should become rare.

ArmoredCavalry · Jul 20, 2010

Tried the practice game yesterday. Is there only one level total in multiplayer as well?

Still a cool game, but the singleplayer practice was pretty short.

For the price though, can't complain.

I doubt it. Have you tried to play Left 4 Dead or L4D2 lately? Retardedness has gone through the roof in those games. You either have idiots who don't know what they are doing or there are super 1337 13 year olds that proclaim they are god and you suck followed up with phrases like "cool story bro" and "umad?" Constantly.

This game is a lot of fun, like the other games I mentioned if you are playing with people you know.

DannibusX · Jul 20, 2010

The umad phenomenon is pretty friggin stupid. I shudder at pub l4d games because of it.

That being said. I was the retard that had no clue what he was up to last night. Jumped right in with E and MailMan for some instant gratification. Good times.

And I only play online with friends or I don't play at all.
