I got it working fine here.

Played a couple of levels. It's pretty fun, though you need a pretty decent team to get through :lol:

Had a lot of fun playing earlier, with Stryfe and boykun. I like the different weapons, and tools you can use. Rocket boots :fap

Definitely suggest more than two players at once, however, or things can get a bit hairy (and it's game over if the tech dies :bleed eyes:)

GET IT

Finished the included campaign with shishi, stryfe, koko earlier. Was some tough stuff in parts. It's a pretty sweet game, I'm seriously looking forward to user-created content for it.

Updates to Alien Swarm have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

  • The Vindicator’s grenade explosion effect should no longer crash users running a GTX260 graphics card.
  • Fixed a bug where marines would continue to be buffed by the Damage Amp if they were standing in it when it expired.
  • Fixed ammo usage on the Tesla Cannon to properly decrease 4 times a second instead of 2 (doubled clip size to account for this).
  • Rebalanced Tesla Cannon’s damage to encourage it to be used more as a support weapon.
  • Tesla Cannon will now use ammo slowly even when it isn’t damaging something.
  • Fixed Unicode text chat

FUCK YEAH, TEAM JPH!P! Surprisingly hard on Normal, even. Couple times parasites caught me off guard, even with my liberal flaming of every corner.

Some of the custom maps are starting to look nice, think we could start rolling on them soon :thumbup
