So, how do I join games that people in the community are in?  Every time I click the "join" link someone has in the member list, it says "server is not responding".

Edit: And I am the "Malicus" in the DFC, so yeah.

Very, but I haven't seen it spawn anything other than the normal spider-like creatures. I wish it would spawn the big ones and the ones that shoot stuff.

The director spawns about 50 drones a second. And makes them invincible to flamethrowers.

As far as I can tell, you can only set so much on a sv_cheats 0 server.

You can turn on the director AI and you can turn it off.

And all it does is spawn between 6 and 12 drones every 40-60 seconds.

You can tell it to spawn 100 facehuggers every other second, but only in offline practice or when the server has cheats enabled.

asw_horde_override 1 < turn on director ai
asw_horde_size_max 100
asw_horde_size_min 50
asw_horde_class asw_parasite  (IIRC)

Have "fun"!

So the Flamethrower which was godly on easy and normal is a lot less useful on Hard... Though I found that the trick is that it is easy to melee attack enemies while they are on fire.

Too many players use weapons that run out of ammo fast on long missions.

When an enemy takes damage they seem to slow down a bit. If they get close you can shoot them and get a melee attack in since they're slowed.

That's why the flamer is so effective, because it slows a whole group of enemies down with a single short click of the mouse button.
