Alien Swarm

I'm calling it, but someones going to try remake the Aliens movie with it.


I wouldn't be surprised, it's already basically an Aliens game as it is. It's just jam packed with references.

I want to see more vertical levels. Going down and up, but it might be hard to do given the format.

I might be up for a game later, but I might go insane. I want to see the real game.

Just started downloading, should be done in about an hour.

Also, stupid question: Is your Steam ID the account name you first registered with or the profile name you have when you're in game?

The Steam ID is the one you use to log in to Steam with.

On the Store page you should see in the upper right corner: [your account name]'s Account

If anyone wants to play a game i'll usually be on around 9/10:00 am to 9/10 pm est *allowing breaks, etc...*. You can find me as http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197976451040 if you want a game. I'll usually play the medic since I have experience in games playing the medic to help out. Also don't mind playing the tech/engineer if you need one.

For those interested here's a quick movie I made from some footage ofhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAEAa-IiFRk. Sadly Sony Vegas compiled it weirdly to where sound only comes out of the left side instead of stero. Have no idea why since I had it set to high quality surround sound when I compiled.

Pretty cool video.

You do know that it's possible to remove the HUD? Or may it was left there for the viewers?

EDIT: Since it's Source powered... there are demo files so that one can record afterwards. :D

And here is a soon to be flooded mod site :D http://swarmarmory.com/maps
A kind person posted that on the official Alien Swarm forums. He has made the website in preparation for getting peoples' mods/maps collected and put into one site!

Spoiler
Hope this does not count as advertising... :unsure:

Thanks, that's what I thought.

In that case, my Steam ID is Gamemastr35.

Also, I tried out the game and it seems pretty awesome so far. If anyone wants to play just add me and let me know.

Just finished the campaign on insane, was a lot of fun. I still think the fourth level is the hardest, the last 2 aren't bad at all in comparison.

I will probably be doing the "prestige" mode on the game at least once, but I kept it at 27 for the insane play through's.

Spent hours playing it with my brother today, most of which was on Residential (or whatever the map's called). Only have two people is a bit challenging at times (normal difficulty), especially if one of them starts drinking halfway into the session :stare: (:P). Haven't quite managed to finish it - closest we've gotten was waiting for the lift (by which point my brother was generally dead, for guessable reasons).

So, yeah, good fun. I can see an indecent amount of time being sunk into it.


My steam ID is the same as my name here (1Samildanach), and I'm in Australia. Messed around with some stuff a little while back (running things through Wine on a linux install) and ended up with Steam's windows not being visible, so I don't think I can add anyone right now. Hopefully I'll get it sorted out soonish, though.

Ya I tried that, but for some reason the console window just didn't want to come down for me. Have the commands for the game and can easily remove the hud, but it is interesting to keep it in there since it seems like a gameplay video instead of a straight up video + music.

Finally got to play some online today. It was a lot of fun, with quite a few faliures and one great run by our Tech when everyone else was dead and he had to clear out the last 1/5th or so of the area and hold out for the exit all alone.

Didn't manage to finish the last mission though. Got to the final part but the 3 of us who survived to there died right at the end. I think the timer ran out, that or the escape ship landed on us or something.

I'm at the point where the game is boring.

Although, it's mainly that biomass level. I hate it. Can never seem to do it on the first few attempts.

Does anyone know how to get the new TF2 hat to show after the Alien Swarm achievement was unlocked? I got the achievement, played a round of TF2 and got the "You have found a new item" message for the parasite hat, I equip it in the loadout screen but my character doesn't seem to be wearing it ingame? A bug on my side perhaps? D:
