It's a free Steam co-op online game based on the Unreal engine and it's very good. It's actually a top down shooter by default although a console command turns it into a FPS. I know that Col and Arathrael have it because we've played online (Col dies a lot 8O) but anyone else got it?
If you haven't you should get it - it's free for gawds sake! :D I like the way you can plant sentry guns and stuff. Although I tend to die trying to get them up.
I've got it but not tried it yet.
Also you can hack it into first person mode: http://www.ripten.com/2010/07/21/play-alien-swarm-in-first-person-sam-n/ (http://www.ripten.com/2010/07/21/play-alien-swarm-in-first-person-sam-n/)
There's a lot of other console commands too: http://alienswarm.wikia.com/wiki/Console_Commands
Being able to spawn bots when there's less than four of you is handy. :)
I have it, had a little spin, looked quite good :badger:
I've only played a few levels but I can see it gets harder - and the weapons get cooler. These big spider thingies turn up as well. And they fire fried eggs that explode when they die. It's mad.
If anyone's up for some Alien Swarm at any point just give me a poke on IRC. I'm around a fair bit of the time. :)
I jumped on earlier when I saw Tricky online, accidently took a couple of points off someone else in the team, and the git deliberatly killed me. Some people are assholes. :cop:
Still not a bad game for nothign :)
