Alien Swarm is a mod for Unreal Tournament 2004 that converts the game into a top down tactical action game for one to eight players.  You control a group of group marines fighting off the Swarm in various environments throughout different campaigns.  Aliens style goodness abounds with motion trackers, assault rifles, shotguns, auto targeting machine guns, automatic turrets, flame throwers, etc.  You also have to watch out for friendly fire.  There are four classes with different abilities, that can be upgraded as the campaign goes on.  And in case you're still wondering, the campaign is coop.

Bump.

So no one at all is interested in this?

*A tumbleweed rolls through the thread*

We ain't interested as such, mister.

[Ioric Kittencuddler]

Ah, but this game is really cool.  It's like Aliens, but top down, and for eight players.

Try experimenting with the thread title?  You may just not be pulling in enough viewers.

Try EPIC ALIENS GOING TO KILL ALL MY MARINES

I would play this with you.

But I don't own Unreal Tournament 2004.

If you've got $10 you can get it from GOG.

Can I play this game using the Unreal Development Kit?

The UDK is a software development kit designed to allow indie gamers to make games with the Unreal Engine 3 with minimum financial risk.  Alien Swarm is a mod for Unreal Tournament 2004 which uses the Unreal Engine 2.5.  So no.

I am downloading this. You do have support for this idea.

Well, damn.
Thanks for the explanation, though.

This game is amazingly fun, but the shitty squad UI makes me QQ. If it is beneficial for me to put my teammates on hold position rather than fire-while-moving, then I should be able to give multiple commands, as in an RTS. Select, move, wait until finished moving, hold position, do again is way too long and bulky.

I suppose you're supposed to have intelligent PEOPLE take over your stupid teammate, but I haven't tried netplay yet.

[Ioric Kittencuddler]

Yeah.  It's a bit like L4D, except L4D doesn't even let you tell your AI squad to stand in place.

If we use hamachi im on ^^.
