Yeah I know I'm late to the party for those who already know about this game, but for those who aren't familiar with Alien Swarm, I suggest picking it up.

Alien Swarm is comparable to a "top-down" L4D-esque cooperative game. It's free on Steam and requires some decent specs to run it on full settings, but once you get it going, I have to say that it's a decent timewaster. It has 4 player co-operative online and a very easy to use map editor.

For those interested, check it out for yourself:

As said in the other thread, it got pushed down, I really enjoyed it.
I thought it was pretty well made, I'd have possibly bought it!

I need new friends.
Almost all of them denied to play Alien Swarm because it wasn't an FPS.
 
My *censored.2.0*ty machine needs a new video card for it to run smoothly. Everything is good except video card. : (

I really didn't expect that to happen, either time. :p

I've done that mission too much, and the shield bug's never given chase. I think it just didn't like you, andy. :p
 
He was a meanie. :C

So how many campaigns are there? I know you can make them, but the set ones.

there's only one official meant-to-pay campaign, which is sadly/admittedly short. (:()

there's an "example" campaign that more or less just gives examples on how to code the custom campaigns (like doors, alien spawning, etc) but just one official right now.

no clue about custom campaigns, though.

meanest shield bug EVAR.
