around 2 gb i think

1st impression of this game is

POWER RANGER! XD

Good to hear this game is no longer DOA. Black Cat's site for the game has sort of gone dark for more than a year and I feared it might have become vaporware. That would've been sad because I really enjoyed the original Alien Swarm for UT2004.

I don't really like the fact that the camera is more isometric than top down like before but since its going to be free, I can't really complain much.

Hehe, time to fire up the smartgun

lulz yeah the characters wear bright and colorful uniforms lulz.

Hey, while waiting for the game to release, how about some brief info about the original game? What is the class and weapons available for rookie like us?

Graphics looks nice despite being free. I'm up for it.

The video demo looks very fantastic but I'm not sold after I saw this





Not my type of game I guess

Its free.
And there's 3rd person mode too, check the description.

free gameplay also mao complain?? lulz

He said not his type of game ma, free also no use

Question: Is there any links on the updated class descriptions?

I can't remember specifics, but there were about 4-5 classes available. Each with their own customized loadout.
Soldier
- Assault Rifles or Shotguns, flamethrowers

Medic
- Had medkits
- Could get akimbo pistols later
- Could get upgraded medkits that can cure infestations (If infected, a marine will die after a short period. No other cure)

Gunner/Support (Dunno the name)
- Could equip the smartgun, that could autotarget enemies in the direction of where the marine was looking. Basically, made for a perfect pointman or rear guard
- Could deploy ammo boxes to resupply team

Engineer
- Could solder/unsolder doors to open up rooms or trap aliens in
- Deploy turrets to defend an area

Others
- Flashlight provides a small auto aim within the light area. Great for assault rifle users


Its a generally VERY unforgiving game since a close range shot from a shotgun pretty much gibs a marine and aliens can carve you up really REALLY fast (No respawns and you have persistent marine deaths between missions ala X-Com). Think Aliens meets Left 4 Dead. Very VERY fun.

12 More hours!!Can't wait to play this game

It's same company with the game "Alien shooter"?

Nope. No relation whatsoever.

The more unforgiving it is, the better... But it is also a heaven for griefing as well... Hopefully they have some built in mechanism to prevent griefer.

Tomorrows the nightmorning

1) Add nonsteam game/application on Steam.
2) Rename game/app to 'Alien Swarm'.
3) Launch game/app.
4) Friends see notification.
5) Troll.

This trick never fails whenever a new Valve game comes out.

You also can coop with a friend to do this. Example:

Delicious gullible victims

hahaha, faris pink ranger!
XD

your friend got troll hard haha!
