Execute them. Combat stims make those super fast moments an exercise in target management. Personal favourite way to handle disaster management is the pistol. Use it exclusively in the first mission. Earn double pistols, when everyone dies, your main weapon and your spare run out, you'll still have a backup set of hand cannons. Unless you are sarge then i find the smokes mandatory.

UT2004 is worth the money. the game and the mods kept me interested for... maybe a year and a half... only because of my connection i guess =D... better connection and i'd probably double the entertainment time i had... enjoy =) i completed the first 2 levels and now i am stuck because no matter what i do i have my marines die from parisites… well not all of my marines, but when i lose one marine from the parisite the aliens swarm on my guys and next thing i know is i have the MISSION FAILED screen coming up… that happens on all three of the missions that you can chose from =S… never been able to play this game with others online but i hope that if i ever get a good enough connection, it will be better and easier to play… by the way… UT2004 is worth the money. the game and the mods kept me interested for… maybe a year and a half… only because of my connection i guess =D… better connection and i’d probably double the entertainment time i had… enjoy =)

Considering GOG.com has UT2004 for less than 10 $, and considering UT04 is a great game and has even more awesome mods:

Obviously it's not as graphically stunning as AS, but you get the same team experience on it. The map also has an interesting xp system with medals as well. The whole game is still based the basic W3 principles though, but it is surprisingly addictive. I'm not a fan of W3 or even DotA, but this is one game I'd suggest you guys try out. :) For any of you that enjoys a good team game go check it out at notdso.10.forumer.com This seems a lot like a Warcraft 3 map called Night of the Dead Special Operations.

I bought the Shadowgrounds games hoping for this sort of experience, and right now I have a mind to buy the corresponding Unreal Tournament game on Steam just so I can play this mod.

Good to see that there still some ppl interested in Alien Swarm. Didn't played since 6 months or so, but the new Nvidia gf8 serie (i have a 8800) is hell bugged with the Unreal Engine 2, and make UT2004 or any mods unplayable. Just too much stuttering to enjoy a good campaign on Insane. I still read the forum. Just leave a little msg if you want to play online, ppl should join! :) Anyway... An awesome mod! Ill be back for AS:I. :) Wow, just found that. Good to see that there still some ppl interested in Alien Swarm.

The teamwork and camaraderie were always what kept me playing the game. I have been away from the ASw community for a while now, but I still try to catch a game every once in a while.
