I'm using South America and getting slightly lower download speeds than normal.  I'll be done in around an hour.

I'll be running at Graphics Level I Don't Even Know What I'm Looking At.
Well I'll be running at Graphics Levels What Is That Jagged Blur?

Played for a little while- it's quite fun. I didn't play the original mod though. And it seems to be pretty low system requirements. There's very little game logic going on; it's pretty streamlined.

Game crashes when it loads a map. =/

I'll try again, and if that doesn't work, reinstall.

My speed keeps spasming about.  It started at 6.something and then rose to 500something but now it's down to 111 or so.

EDIT: Now it's up to 649...

I agree the game is awesome, but my laptop can't cut it.  When I get enough money to replace my old computer, I am going to do horrible things to that graphics card for failing me.

I can't connect to any gaems. Also, where is the map-editor under library>tools? I can't find it there. Is it Alien-Swarm SDK?
It's the SDK, looks like this game uses Hammer for editing maps.

Man, this is intense. Screw parasites! (even when Faith's got a medigun, it's still a pain to remove them...)




Finally beat the campaign on Normal, though. If anyone from around here is interested, my Steam name is Thexor (imaginative, huh?).

That was a fun game, we now have to beat it on insane.

Lessons learned: Sarg's new shotgun is amazing, but friendly fire incidents ahoy
Flamers: No longer the TK'ing weapon of doom they used to be, good at killing nearly everything
Parasites: DEAR GOD I HATE THEM.

Only had a little mess around so far, but so much about this is awesome. Reloading with a full clip looses all the ammo in it! flamers that aren't HUGE liabilities! Usefull classes that encourage teamwork! etc. :D

And for those of you looking for the title based mapping thing. It's built into the game itself it's not in the SDK bit. (Although you do need that downloaded.)
