It certainly didn't take them long to unbalance the game more then it already is.

I just noticed that if you bring both Wolf and Wildcat with you they tease each other. I think that was in the mod too though.  I just got through the first two levels on Insane playing with various people of various skill levels.  We got to the ending of the second level multiple times at which point no one freaking ran for the exit!  Finally I made it while the other guys were standing around on the lift getting infested and of course the last guy alive who was infested had to live just a second longer than me so we had to start all over.  The second time I was yelling at the same guy to come to get over here and that if I died before him I was kicking him from the game.  He just sat there shooting aliens while I barely survived and somehow just somehow survived until he died.  Then he started saying he had no idea where I was, or where the exit was... I said "It's the big pulsating square on the minimap."  I guess he was sitting too close to the screen or something.  :p

I had an idea for a (possibly one-map-long) campaign: It would be kind of like the last map in the official campaign in that you go to one end of the map then run back to the other. But instead of detonating a bomb, you're getting bot reinforcements and guiding them back to wherever you started, fighting off an endless horde of aliens along the way. If there were a second map, you'd have whatever reinforcements survived the original endless horde, and you'd fight against several "boss" aliens while more endless hordes come after you. The reinforcements would probably be whatever characters you didn't go into the campaign playing.

I love the spontaneous epic moments that show up in Alien Swarm.

I was in a public Normal game, we cleared out the middle area of the Residential level...

Then everyone else died to parasites. Coincidentally, I was the only one who had promoted (So while I'm yelling "Drop a freaking beacon," they're all dying to the same parasite).

This leaves me, Vegas the Tech, vs. basically the entire level.

So I drop my sentry off near the elevator and build it to about 99% so I can activate it later without wasting its ammo now. I Shotgun my way back to the bodies, grab the flamethrower off a body, temporarily switch out shotty for an ammo satchel and dump all the boxes outside the vent, grab the shotgun again, and with my enormous ammo stash I clear the vents out solo. I was cautious about dealing with parasites, for obvious reasons, but with the sheer amount of fire I laid down I encountered little meaningful resistance. Once I was done with that, I went to the northwest area and proceeded to be pecked to about 1/7 health by those GODDAMN flying things. I even ran back to my sentry and finished it to let it deal with them. So I head up, go up to the hack door, realize I'm gonna get raped if I try it as well as that the shotgun is not enough to break it in a timely manner.

So I sigh, go back to my sentry, drop shotgun, bring sentry over, set sentry, hack, torch, pick up sentry, clear the upstairs area out of eggs, head back through the door to the exit zone (topping off my flamethrower and shotgun ammo as I go). I weld the door shut on my way back through, replace my sentry, tap the button, and proceed to solo the finale at 1/7 health... While putting up with Magic Phasing Boomgoo from the goo-lobber off to the west... Which blew up my sentry... And barely survive to the elevator's arrival, whereupon I run in just as an alien sac-o'-bombs was closing on me.

While Pendulum's collaboration with In Flames played.

Fuck yes.

I had a fun game with you guys. It was my first time but I enjoyed it .

When I first went into this, I expected that gaining levels would improve your stats :/

But no

[Sensei]

Yeah, from the looks of character selection one would imagine you were meant to be able to change those stats. Maybe there's a way to do it anyway...

Type it into console before hosting a game. It's totally unbalanced though, and not in the way you're thinking. I have no clue if you get more points as the campaign goes on either.

I've seen a few people say this but nobody has really explained it

so.. explain what you're talking about?

[umiman]

You only get 8 points to assign per character.

[Sensei]

Weird.
