 a lot of the levels look very half-lifey as well. This game reminds me a lot of crimsonland. | ||

These things are beast when covering the rear. I've reached lvl27 crimson and I have to say Jaeger is definitely the best character. Vindicator, Assault rifle + Flame/Proxy mines. The Vindicator in his hands oneshots multiple swarms even on Insane and his explosive bonus means the 10 grenades and the mines provide ridiculous firepower when you need it. He's so powerful you can solo large sections of the game without too much trouble. I found out something else about speed runs that makes them sadly quite a bit easier. If you do them on Hard instead of Normal you get a slight speed bonus. You get a further speed bonus on insane but of course the increased difficulty makes it not viable. Just take Jaeger, Faith, Wildcat and Vegas. 4*Adrenaline if you want it even easier. | ||

Creating own group with people aknowledging the idea could be worth it. Usually it's just like an info chan for a close (not closed  ) community.And I'm gonna brag a bit, everyone is saying how hard "Hard" is and insane needs medics, my friend even said it has to be done slowly clearing things out. We did all the insane levels with 3 people and no medics. Only level where we needed a 4th person was 3rd Daemia Bridge Station and it was a speedrun! \m/ 8) | ||

If you're so bad you can't hit the mobs in time then you get raped. Once you're competent enough to shoot everything that attempts to get near you it doesn't really matter how hard the mobs hit since they're dead before they reach you anyway. | ||

No but I have heard the following repeatedly in my head: "OW you piece of shit!" "Watch where you're pointing that thing!" "Friendly fire!" I guess it depends on who you play with | ||

And being able to heal helps. But for speed runs you NEED 4 people on some levels. | ||

I typically play medic, with the semi-auto sniper rifle, healing beacon, and typically adrenaline. My teammates will typically have a sentry, flamethrower, tech rifle, sp rifle, ammo, and shotgun. What's your loadout/setup? | ||

Bastille, Flamethrower, Medic Gun, Adrenaline Jaeger, Flamethrower, Chainsaw, Hornet Barage Vegas, Tesla Coil, Chainsaw, Adrenaline Wildcat, Tesla, Chainsaw (Turret on Mission 2), Adrenaline [edit] Normally I'm Faith because she's faster, but Bastille is a bit tougher which really helps on Insane. If playing Easy/Normal/Hard or Insane-while-not-speed-running Faith is the better choice. [edit2] http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197961750554/stats/AlienSwarm ^^ | ||

ADR during hacks, tesla coil key choke points, start everything on fire and run like hell. | ||
