Quick Look: Alien Swarm

sweet!

looks awesome

Wait, Will Smith?!

WOO WILL ON A QL!  Love the Tested crew, nice to see the cross-communication of Whiskey sites.

" Wait, Will Smith?! "

I played this the other day with some buddies. Awesome game.

This game is really fun

Ah ha! Finally something to do.

Its fun, but its so repetitive you'll get bored before unlocking all the guns.

I love free games. I love free games most especially when they're good. Free games I love.

Will Smith is awesome, and I'm glad he's on this site more and more, because tested.com doesn't interest me.

Will Smith should be a key ingredient in any PC quick look.

best free game EVER!!!

I played it for an hour and thought, "Meh". But it's free so...

If only they would release this on Mac.

I love it when questions are asked and the person conducting the quick look has no fucking idea.

There's only one "campaign" of single-player stuff, but the game came with the SDK and level-authoring tools, so user-made content seems to be their approach.

Even tho it was just one campaign, me and my friends played a hell of a lot of this game. So much so that we are now promotion 1 level 4. The future play tho is dependant on new campaigns, but the forums are already bustling with ideas and WIPs so I can imagine we'll be seeing some good campaigns in the next month or so.

It seems like a rip off of Alien Breed mixed with The Chaos Engine (when Amiga was ruler)

Almost finished the campaign on Insane, just need 2 more levels. It's alot of coop fun, especially for a free game.

Way to protect Will Smith, Vinny. Good teamwork! Not.

This game is cool. Does not work on my laptop.

Just wait until the mods start popping up.  This game will have infinite replay value.

Big Willie style, bitches. 

Game is only a couple hours
 
Door open automatically, so enemies can come through, if they are welded they will beat on it until it breaks. There are a few points where welding will keep you alive.
 
Sarge (officer class) "thing" is their shotgun, ammo box can be used by anyone.
 
Crosshair is also an ammo meter. Look closer, you will see it go down as you shoot.
 
Different enemies later on, including the parasite, latches onto you. Everyone who isnt good enough to play hard/insane complains about it, instead of sticking to easy...
 
console -> openserverbrowser 
Worst thing about left4dead/2 and this is matchmaking. Server browser from all the other steam games is better.
 
Already multiple sites devoted to custom maps/campaigns. Hoping they will get popular, this game does need more contnet to keep it going.

they're so bad at this game lmao.
 
Any class can do anything, they just didn't know you can change your loadout for each class.. you can be a medic.. with tech gear (welding doors etc..)

You get a TF2 hat for completing 2 missions in coop, that alone is worth downloading this.

Didn't they already made a quick-look of this.

Been meaning to try this game, looks fun.

I only played the game to get my free TF2 hat, it seemed alright.

LOL you guys shoulda played with 4 people, 2 people is insanely hard

Argh Vinny really should have done some research before quicklooking this game... Half the information he is saying is either wrong or inaccurate, and although this game is free innacurate information oftern has reprocussions on other potential players!

Oh gawd! Controlled bursts!
 
If you really wanna survive long you conserve ammo and avoid spraying metal all over your team mates.

I wonder if the guys who made this have watched James Cameron's Aliens before.
 
I wonder.

Wow, Brad going postal on Gene Roddenberry. What the hell?

That "beep" sound is getting to me - sounds just like my TIVO.

Looks pretty cool, for free its at least worth checking out

Why would it take a console command to turn on the AI director?  Seems like its an important feature to bury, unless its not quite fully cooked yet.
 
Also, this game could use a brief tutorial to help you figure out each classes abilities and controls.  I was totally lost for the first couple of games.
