Alien Swarm (Steam)

GatorChamp · 07-18-10, 10:42 PM

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?

Pandam00nium · 07-18-10, 11:23 PM

Wow thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely check this game out since it's free. Looks pretty fun.

Xterra · 07-19-10, 12:08 AM

Looks like a third person shooter / rpg type game. Definitely keep my eyes open!

lordkosc · 07-19-10, 02:02 AM

FF?! All that comes to mind is L4D and the greater good: 3 friends leaving 1 in the killing fields for the greater good! lol

EXACTLY

TollhouseFrank · 07-19-10, 10:41 AM

looks like a combo of dungeon siege and diablo set in the future...

gregers05 · 07-19-10, 01:22 PM

some of the pictures make me think of the ghost busters lol

_s3v3n_ · 07-19-10, 01:27 PM

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.

hajalie24 · 07-19-10, 03:54 PM

Thanks downloading it now.

GatorChamp · 07-19-10, 04:25 PM

Same DLing it now. Took a few tries as steam kept saying it was to busy.

ratbuddy · 07-19-10, 04:39 PM

Mmm, looks like Shadowgrounds and Alien Shooter type stuff. Now if only the server wasn't melting

Xterra · 07-19-10, 04:48 PM

It appears everyone and their grandmother is downloading this game... steam servers unclog!

ratbuddy · 07-19-10, 04:57 PM

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.

hajalie24 · 07-19-10, 05:42 PM

I still haven't downloaded it

, at first I thought it was downloading but I got that message. Now it's downloading at 30 KB/s

buffheman · 07-19-10, 05:57 PM

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.

hajalie24 · 07-19-10, 06:03 PM

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.

ratbuddy · 07-19-10, 06:32 PM

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

Don't pug it... get 3 friends and sink your teeth in!

GatorChamp · 07-19-10, 09:07 PM

So much fun. Yeah, get a good group and do it. It is pretty hard. Just beat it on normal.
