Alien Swarm?

[Vermintide]

Awww, it's like Valve knew it was my birthday and gave me a game :3

Apparently it doesn't unlock for another two hours, so for the time being I'm going to remind myself how much fun this was back when it was a UT2k4 mod.

Anyway, who's gonna be playing this? Soldiers, report!

 

[Lucid]

I'm going to be all over this bitch.
Can't wait.

 

[Stormy]

What is it?

 

[Lucid]

Here's the news topic.

 

[Shakermaker]

Can't wait either. It looks like a lot of fun. Never played the original btw.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

~1 hr left, gonna take forever to dl with the traffic.

 

[Lucid]

Aw shit, the timer just went up 2 more hours. ;(

 

[bam23]

Is there anyway to pre-load it?

 

[Ennui]

I can't wait to play it, I've got to do final exams for my summer classes for the next few days though so I probably won't spend much time ingame until the weekend.

 

[Matorbogl]

Aw shit, the timer just went up 2 more hours. ;(

Who didn't see that coming. Oh well.

 

[YROC]

Still 3 hours here.

 

[OmegaX]

Looks like it MAY be released at 5 EST.

 

[T-6000]

I suppose I'll be giving the game a whirl once it releases. No harm in that, especially since it's free. For those of you with faster connection speeds than me who will most likely get it before me, let me know how it is.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Gabe you fat sack of horse shit.

 

[Unfocused]

I was about to download it, but yeah, it got pushed back 2 hours. It's 2.5 GB from what I heard so I'll probably play it tomorrow.

 

[Vermintide]

Gabe you fat sack of horse shit.

God I don't know why but Gabe abuse always makes me laugh.

Still, it's a bummer the timer keeps increasing. I'm getting slowly but surely more drunk as the evening wears on, my motor skills will no doubt be impaired by the time I can play it! I apologise in advance if anyone ends up stuck with me G.U.I.

 

[YROC]

Friends don't let friends post drunk. Especially here.

 

[Vermintide]

Not to worry, I do have better things to be doing

(sorry, I couldn't resist)

 

[Acepilotf14]

Hahahaha, I can't believe he actually delayed it.

WHAT CAN THEY ****ING POSSIBLY DELAY IT FOR?
HONESTLY?

I KNOW Valve is just ****ing with us now

Allocating more bandwidth perhaps? Steam tends to run out during big download times like those super sales. Everyone who knows about this is gonna download it and it's fairly hefty.

 

[Lucid]

Start downloading!
GOGOGOGO

 

[Unfocused]

So at the moment when I click "Install game" the site just refreshes in Steam.

 

[YROC]

I'm downloading now. At first, it told me the servers were too busy, but then I changed my location to "Czech Republic". Downloading fine now.

Worked for me too. Downloading at 200kb/s though.

 

[Shakermaker]

Downloading at 103.9 kb/s over here. Makes sense though for a summer vacation free release.

 

[Lucid]

****, gives me an error when I try running it.
Something about a "launch dll (null)"... going to try redownloading.

 

[YROC]

Just played a few rounds. Game is high tier.

 

[morgs]

Haven't heard much about it but I'll get it for the TF2 hat anyway. If it's still obtainable.

 

[stemot]

Is it just the one map available in single player mode?

 

[Shakermaker]

Played through the practice mode. Quite enjoyable. The gameplay is very much L4D topdown in space, although I couldn't really make out different aliens (yet?). I like the attention to detail. It looks really good.

Is it just the one map available in single player mode?

Seems so. This game is really geared towards online co-op. It even has part of the L4D interface.

 

[YROC]

This is one of the best free games ever. Hope they include more maps and such in the future.

Considering its pretty much open source, you can expect plenty of new maps from modders.

 

[StarBob]

I like it. I'm excited about making a map too. I might start on that this weekend if it's not too terribly difficult. I'll have to investigate sometime when I'm not feeling so lazy.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Just played for a silly amount of hours...it's terrific. Really great and a more fun co-op experience than I get from Left 4 Dead these days. Perhaps just because it's something very different.

Can't wait to play more and all the custom campaigns.

 

[ozzy_15]

it sounds like a awsome game

 

[Acepilotf14]

Played through it twice. Got to level.. 19 or so. Really, really fun game. Jaeger is my favorite.

 

[Yorick]

Had a blast playing with Sliver and some others earlier until the "burn the shit out of everything and don't get facehugged" level tore us apart an embarrassing amount of times.

Great game. Definitely looking forward to seeing more.

Absolutely hate that level.

It's the weirdest thing, it drops my FPS to about 15, whereas the rest of the game runs perfectly.

 

[YROC]

Yeah, my frames dropped at certain areas.
