Doors are complex devices that require multiple years of training to operate here as well?

Nobody else has their door opening training certificate yet.

I think this is a experiment to test the Steam servers, no preload+its free=overloaded servers.

[Cthulhu]

So if you let a tech die when there's a door you have to open, does the mission end on the spot or do you have to get to the door and realize you're boned?

[dogstile]

I suppose it'd end on the spot, considering one dude died on the gameplay video and the mission ended.

L4D isn't about killing zombies it's about killing sick people.  I always find it funny when people try to counter the Autralian government's actions in regard to L4D 2 by saying it's a zombie game when the game is so specific about calling them "Infected" and not zombies.  I mean, there are so many legitimate defenses they could mount for the game, but they have to choose the one that isn't true.

Er...what? The L4D blog often switches between calling them "Infected" and "zombies." They really are interchangeable terms when it comes to L4D. But this thread isn't about L4D, so let's not get too into that.

Also, for all you people saying it's like L4D... It's like Alien Swarm, the mod for UT2004 it's based on.

Yeah, but since they were hired by Valve and this is being released by Valve, they automatically get compared to Valve's other games. Especially Valve's 4-player co-op series. I just hope this has some variety in the aliens. L4D accomplished this pretty well with the common Infected, as they were all wearing different stuff so they didn't look too similar.

I think this is a experiment to test the Steam servers, no preload+its free=overloaded servers.

That's why you switch to underused download servers. =P Seriously. After the Engy Update for TF2 a couple weeks ago, I switched to Austria at Umi's suggestion, and my download still went fast, and I'm not even remotely close to Austria.

Zombie, infected, it's all the same to me.

hmmm game unlocks in 7 hours it says...

whos up for a game or two in around 10? because that game sounds AWESOME!

[Cthulhu]

If my computer weren't dead I would :'(

[Hugehead]

I will play!

[fenrif]

I'm in, been waiting all weekend for this thing to come out

[LASD]

If the servers allow it, I will absolutely be playing with you guys.

[Hugehead]

Does this have ded servers?
EDIT: Lets get in the steam DFC chatroom the official one is hopelessly derailed.

[quintin522]

I'll play this with you guys, if my computer can run it.

[nenjin]

Man, am I glad I didn't buy Alien Breed: Impact. Those guys must feel like shit atm. They put out Alien Breed as a cheapo-game...and Valve contracts a game that looks better AND is going out for free.

[Puck]

Is there some way of preloading or something like that? I'd really like to go out and ride my bike a bit, and I guess I'll be home 3 hours after release.

At any rate, I hope somebody will open up a bay 12 server, in case it works like that. Either way, I'll be online in Steam, if there's a password required for the server, poast or PM!
