So far Ive played three games and with random people THEY SUCK. They can hardly stay alive and do not know what they are doing. I was in a game where the techie did not hack a station and just stood fighting. Or a medic who did not drop heal packs. It was all ways me and Corpse outlaw*from GB* Who where the last two standing. And two can not fight an alien horde.
So now I declare. POST YOUR STEAM NAME!
Me.

But again. Some people are really really bad at this game.
Alien Swarm
Game » consists of 1 releases. Released Jul 19, 2010
A freeware top-down co-operative shooter where a squad of marines must investigate and prevent the spread of a rampant alien infestation. It was originally a total conversion for Unreal Tournament 2004 before its team, hired by Valve for other projects, completed it as a side-project.
Uhhh where are all the good players?
You're playing a game that has just been released on steam, surely people who have never played the mod before are picking it up and trying things out, therefore you will be stuck with nubs.
Game shall finish downloading in about 10 minutes, never played it before but i'm no scrub so I should be okay :P

Your account name.
I never play with randoms..
I play with friends and my friends doesn't suck at gaming ;)
If there are by chance any Norwegians here, me and 2 other buds are going to play tomorrow. 1 Slot free to tag along :)
on a side note. I will be recording some of my games. So if you see me *The_Laughing_Man* Be warned. You might be on camera.
I just beat the campaign with three random dudes.
Shit gets super intense. Make sure someone is a medic. Especially in later levels.
Seems like they've taken out the little stat progression thing from the mod... :( bummer, since that really pushed you to do better than your teammates. Just played a few games and it seems like they've turned down the shotgun friendly damage :p, if they didn't I would've died on several occasions due to friendly fire. :')
Download's almost finished! I haven't played the original mod, and I have no idea what I'm doing, but I learn quick.
Steam ID: JSommerHL2
EDIT: I just added everyone on here so far.
so far it seems pretty fun
I kinda suck, but it would be awsome if you guys could add amackay12, as all my friends are xbots and i have no one to play with :(
Played it for about an hour til I messed with a video setting (causing game to freeze) and I timed out :(
Was really excited about finishing the campaign with those guys too as they were cool, they didn't die.
SteamID: KamikazikidUK (or search Rehehelly on community). Only tried special weapons at the moment, liking it.

It is a nice looking game.
It's a damn short game though. On normal we brushed through in like an hour.
EDIT: And my Steam NAME is NoX!ous - I don't like giving out my ID since it's an email account.
It's from 2003, back then you had to register with an e-mail address and us veterans never got the chance to change it :-(
" @The_Laughing_Man:It's a damn short game though. On normal we brushed through in like an hour. "It looks like maybe there will be extra content later on.
I did watch two of my squad run into a toxic pool and dying. But, they figured out what needed to be done.
There's no real explanation about... anything... plus the game just came out (even though the mod has existed for a while), so a lot of people have no idea what to do.
You guys feel free to add me and maybe we can play some games, but I don't promise to be the greatest player ever. SteamID: Keenblaze.

just got up to level 10 and stage like 5 or 6 with 1 to 2 friends lol. game is awesome especially since it is free.
" Since my download appears to be taking forever I just wanna know something. Is friendly fire still always enabled and if so do noobs still foolishly pick the shotgun which only leads to bad things? :p "Yeah friendly fire is always enabled and my Steam ID is MasterD so feel free to ad me so we can kick some alien ass.
I played several hours today with randoms and even though everyone was new we did okay for the most part. It's pretty easy to get into the basics.
There was one player though that didn't understand to escape with the group on the last level, so we all died when the nuke went off. :(
