Alien Swarm (Steam)


Anyone been following this game? It looks like it could be fun. It's a 4 player co-op alien kill fest. It seems to be free, which is pretty cool.

Anyone interested in giving it a try?

my collegue was telling me about this game this morning and yes, it was free. I'm gonna install it tonight as soon as I get home and give it a try. Looks fun to play as an appetizer before the main game - BC2.

I got through after a few minutes, and it's been a solid 1.5MB/s ever since. I like that Steam limits the number of connections rather than letting everyone connect but with crappy download rates.

Stupid steam servers. I've been trying for like an hour. They really should implement like a queue or something so I don't have to sit here and click on it repeatedly.

Turns out they have a server in detroit which I did not notice, which is right next to me. I'm getting 1 MB/s which isn't that bad.

Sigh. I just realized that with this game being free, VAC bans won't deter idiots.
