    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    the games only bit out, only a few hours?  don't think many have played the original UT mod.  So it's safe to say there's gonna be people who jump in and don't know what they are doing.

    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. :')

    Was really excited about finishing the campaign with those guys too as they were cool, they didn't die.

    It could be the multicore of your cpu if you have it. Mine stutters on the engine (L4D, L4D2, and now this). There's a console command to disable multicore stuff and that helps a lot if you have stuttering issues (possibly the freezing you're talking about).

    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: That it is. They did a really good job with the engine and art, but like L4D it seems to have a similar issue with certain multicore cpu's. It could be his graphics card, but I feel that would cause more along the lines of graphics lag, unless he was pushing it to the extreme (maybe a resolution that is out of his gpu's league).

    Seems like all these problems could be solved by a little communication. Shout out "Hey techie, hack this station!" or "Medic, need health" and I'm sure things will come along just fine. Remember, there's a lot of new players.

    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.

    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. :(
