Gah! I did so well resisting buying a game over the weekend so as to do something productive with my evenings.

Now I have no choice but to fritter them away blasting alien scum. Curse you, Valve.

I never knew the original Alien Swarm plagiarised weapon icons from AvP2.

Glad to see the mod getting attention again and reborn as a free game. I’ll see everyone online tomorrow :)

I LOVED AS1! Especially lighting the person on fire with the ammo pack

I fooled around with this when it was a UT2K4 mod and found it incredibly atmospheric. It reminded me so much of the scenes in the film Aliens, in which they’re first entering the defunct colony. So glad that the project wasn’t abandoned. I don’t suppose they got to keep the motion detector sound from the movie, though, alas.

Obviously its good news. The one thing I’m unsure about is the change to 4 player instead of 8 – a good part of the best Alien Swarm games I played before often included situations where people started dropping one by one. Eventually you’d get to the big set piece ending with just a few people left alive, which really upped the tension. The extra players helped it get away with being punishing in a way that post-L4D people might not be after from their co-op, but it was a big part of the Alien Swarm experience for me.
Hopefully they’ve kept that feel in the gameplay, because every other aspect of it looks brilliant.
