This is cRAzi: On top of Natural Selection's alpha release (Starcraft in FPS form) on July 26th, BlackCatGames, working from within VALVe, is bringing their reinvented "Alien Swarm" to steam, for FREE.

This is sick siCK SICK. Alien Swarm was a coop mod from 2004. Back then there were no cool coop games, much less good ones. The original was IMO better than Left4Dead, more intense, more cooperative options, all that good sh**t. I've been waiting for their for-money indie debut since then, but I guess the team got hired by Valve 2 years ago.

Anyway it's free, the original kicked copious amount of azz, and it'll be downloadable in 3 days. NS2 on 26th, SC2 on 27th, too much good stuff in the next 2 weeks xO

That game looks like a lot of fun. I am going to agree with you on the " better than L4D " part, it looks like more fun. Left 4 Dead didn't expand in the second, they made a few adjustments, but overall it was nothing.
Wishing you well.

Original Alien Swarm Video

The original was what "alien" would be in game form. There was wielding doors shut, there was setting mines for trap, there was marine being infested by chest-busters, 360 degree radar, hacking computers, big chain guns, alien surround like zerglings, it even had cooperative bullettime for when it got too intense.

If this thing plays like the original, it'll beat out the $60 games out there.

I absolutely hated the regular NS mod for HL. It had great graphics (back then) and the concept was nice, but I thought the maps as well as some gameplay aspects were whack.

First of all, NS was amazing. Secondly, that is completely off-topic as the games aren't even similar.

Does anyone else want to organize some sort of TL squad/play with TLers?

Wait wait wait wait wait

Alien Swarm Infested is going to be available for FREE?

Like, not just Alien Swarm the original, but the game they've been working on forever? Fuck yeah I'm pumped :D I'm definitely going to be playing this.

Alien Swarm is definitely one of my favorite games of all time.

God damn right :D

<- Flamer marine. 'Cause accidentally blowing up friendlies who carry ammobags is fun.

The original campaigns for Alien Swarm were pretty good, but the fanmade ones just elevated this game so high... I forget which one it was where you had to trap those giant spider aliens in the constantly rotating research facility.... Escape From Rhea maybe? I remember being stuck on that mission for like 3 hours together with Malmis

Awesome, I had been on the fence about ns2 and had not heard that the alpha was so soon. Am now preordering.

And I always liked Alien swarm as like a SmashTV on crack and hadn't heard of this

I am sooooooo hyped for this game. The community mods are gonna be awesome.

I'm wondering what the catch is though - it's free. Maybe they're working on a similar or vastly upgraded edition they'll reveal in a few months? The only other catch I can see is that you have to get Steam to use it.

Shotguns are equally lethal. For you and the A.I bugs.

Is there some way to get it without getting Steam too? Or is it better to get both anyway?

You wouldn't be able to play it without Steam, even if, where would multiplayer be?

Besides, I've added enough not-officially-bought games on Steam. Had no problems so far.

You can try changing your download region in 'settings' to see if that helps your download speed. I found one that not many people are using and I'm downloading the game at my max speeds.

To get this you need Steam. In my opinion, Steam is great. There are always great deals on games. Also, you can access a Steam overlay with shift+tab in-game. In this overlay you can talk to Steam friends, and also access the web all without needing to alt-tab.

If you add a non-steam game, you can use this overlay as well, plus it shows your Steam friends what game you are playing.

I just played about 30 minutes, it's really awesome.

You need competent teammates though. I played on Normal and I had retards who would constantly shoot each other in the back.

You really need a diverse squad, a healer, a special weapons, a tech etc or you will run out of ammo or die etc.

It's really fucking good for a free game

You can try changing your download region in 'settings' to see if that helps your download speed. I found one that not many people are using and I'm downloading the game at my max speeds.

To get this you need Steam. In my opinion, Steam is great. There are always great deals on games. Also, you can access a Steam overlay with shift+tab in-game. In this overlay you can talk to Steam friends, and also access the web all without needing to alt-tab.

If you add a non-steam game, you can use this overlay as well, plus it shows your Steam friends what game you are playing.


Been using Steam forever, its my ISP. Everyone has problems in this area.

Thanks for showing the group. Didn't know there was one on Steam

By the way, we're 3 people downloading from Latvia, all on different ISPs and we all have very low speed at the moment. So it's not just NY. It's server overload.

EDIT: Try switching different servers, at the moment GER - Frankfurt is somewhat ok and US - Dallas.

I don't think selecting a download region matters at all. I've tried everything, including Africa. My brother came in, asked what I was trying to download, tried it on his computer, and it worked. I think you just need to get lucky and get a spot.

Edit: Spam tried three more times after this and got a spot. I still believe my hypothesis.

I like the amount of customisation and class types, quite a fair amount of guns, but the assault rifle is garbage I think

I was also wasting so much bullets when I first got in not knowing that reloading before the clip is done will lose you the bullets

Is there no way to control more than 1 character now? I'm playing with 2 friends and obviously we still want to be 4 players... But I see no way to choose more than 1 -_-

In the first game you could just control however many you wanted t.t

I'm kinda really disappointed so far by this game - I hate to be "that guy", but the original is 10x as good :[ Which still makes this game good.

Anyway, feel free to add me on steam - I'm JFWW89

EDIT: Tho honestly, all this game has made me want to do is replay through all of the originals campaigns :/ There's like 5 of them, and it's not quite as super bright.

I've played through about half of it I think. I'm just playing with random team mates but so far its been a blast. There isn't anyone retarded that I've met yet. All the groups wanted to talk about strategies on how to win so it was actually really fun. Just be patient.

This was pretty fun - I played it online with a few buddies this afternoon. We all died halfway through a mission and one of them was a hero and Ramboed his way to the finish alone.

I'm easily entertained and games that give weapon and item upgrades regardless of genre somehow make me super happy, so this was an easy sell. Oh wait, it was free.

Played through the entire campaign with friends... the server crashed on the last level just as the ship was picking us up, argh. This game is pretty fun except there's always an x-man in our group who is trying to secretly get us all killed D:<

Also kind of off-topic, but TL badly needs a reworked steam group with at least somewhat active leaders that can post events/announcements on stuff, like TF2 events etc. Maybe Kennigit and some other people can make a new one?

The game is pretty fun, but I'm stuck on the last mission on hard, can't find any random groups to beat it with (not mention that there are literally 0 games on insane going on). Steam is spazzing out and doesn't let me add any friends, so I guess no cake for me yet. Managed to promote myself once, I wonder how many times you would be able to do that, leveling to 27 goes pretty fast, and there's an experience bonus at the more difficult modes of the game >_>

One of the achievements is bugged for me for some reason, the one where you give out ammo, should've gotten it ages ago just due to normal gameplay but it's still 0/10 D:

I played with a friend last night and we almost cleared it on easy with only two of us... until we reached the second to last level and there was like 5 infestors and one immediately leaped on me when I had like no health and I died.

He wasn't long for this world given I was the medic hahahha. ;x

Even with a medic gun and the group heal you burn through your heals so fast if people carelessly get infested. 3 people get infested and your done for your medic gun and have to rely on just group healing which is a pain at times because monsters blitzing at you keep people moving around so if anyone gets infested you better hope everyone else can cover well =P.

Theres a really easy sim-city trick on the cargo elevator map, you can just place a sentry in front of the panel while everyone sits behind it. The monsters cant get through since the sentry blocks off the entire tile. You only need to worry about is the monsters climbing up the walls.

If its old news oh well, figure it would work better than have everyone frantically shooting each other.

Started playing earlier today, already level 22 or 23. Tried easy, too easy, tried normal, too easy, tried hard, too easy but insane is alllllright. Of course that depends entirely on your team.
I like to keep my guys simple, usually I shotgun/ammo/armour although I should really try out all the other stuff but I just think -20% damage on insane is far greater than doing a bit more damage with crazy spray rockets and what not

Theres a really easy sim-city trick on the cargo elevator map, you can just place a sentry in front of the panel while everyone sits behind it. The monsters cant get through since the sentry blocks off the entire tile. You only need to worry about is the monsters climbing up the walls.

If its old news oh well, figure it would work better than have everyone frantically shooting each other.

This is what i did with my group ^.^
We should definitely have a TL TF2 event :D

Should we make a new teamliquid group, more oriented towards playing together? And then maybe make a new thread for it then?

Ok so for all the people who want to play TF2/Alien Swam/other valve games together(since the current TL group is somewhat disorganized and is more for people who are just part of TL and aren't interested in playing games together) here's the URL for the group,

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/teamliquidnet

Hopefully when we get more people we can start playing games together etc.

I suggest you should start a thread under Tl community to peak more interest about the group on steam.

just finished the campaign on insane. if anyone else wants to do this, a tip is to use at least 2 tesla guns, they are fucking rape.

they do good damage, they stun, and they have huuuge amounts of ammo

I can't get away from shotguns myself, they are just SO good. I go pump action with the tech/medic because I can't have the vindicator and I'm the guy that holds the rear and blasts through waves of those zerglings when they come at you. I usually have the medigun/ammo because I don't have a fancy playstyle I just like to bust things and carry on which is why I use the armour as a third.
Now that I know the maps a little better I sometimes sentry gun too. I tried out the last sentry gun, some kind of uber 25 ammo blastin' gun on the elevator but it really is bad. Took over 3 shots on just one of the lings crawling on the ceiling and I don't even know if it died, the machine gun one seems much better and the flamer one seems best for that bit due to it's more ammo and flamin' awesomeness

Why wrong? Good medics are priceless, same as good sharpshooters

But here, it's mostly about people playing properly, I spent like 70% of my med gun on one guy who constanty lost health and he died in the end still in some random place. I'm a bad medic for him, but objectively he ruins all teamplay and doesn't leave me with enough resources to heal others.

Guns are overrated. Get Vegas and punch the shit out of people. I think it might be actually good if you learn to dodge alien melee attacks because Vegas one shots everything. It is also very hilarious to kick an alien and watch it explode.

No, I found it!

Natural Selection, and it seems they are coming up with a commercial follow up soon:
http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/

Natural Selection blends first-person combat with real-time strategy. It features intense "marines vs. aliens" teamplay, where one marine can become Commander. The Commander plays from a top-down perspective and leads live players.

The aliens can evolve upgrades like "Cloaking" and "Scent of Fear", and can change lifeforms to run on walls, fly, and even devour marines whole.

NS has atmospheric indoor sci-fi environments full of steam and smoke, and features custom orchestral music from the award-winning Jeremy Soule.

It is a freely-available Half-life modification, and since its release in October of 2002, has had over 2 million downloads, and had been played for 2 billion player-minutes.

I did the promotion thing and sent me back to level one so I decided to bust some hard to at least get the medigun.

My god hard is a breeze compared to insane, all the parts that go mental as shit are just a few lings here and there, everyone just rushes through shooting shit.

Still though, need to complete game on insane, my steam account is fiddledaff@hotmail.com (back with the old school e-mail username yo). Don't mind playing any class, just give me a shotgun and point me at the bad guys

Yes SO TRUE!
Did the campagin on Insane... quite difficult.

Then we tried speed runs.... so fucking hard! Literally they must be some of the hardest game achievements I've ever tried. Managed the first 2 then we lost patience on the third after about 8 attempts some only 1 second too slow.

I'm pretty sure we're the only people to have done them since it said 0% had the achieve then 0.1% after we got them. The 3 we haven't done still say 0%.

I really hope they don't nerf it.... and btw there is a trick you need to know to do any of them.

With only one campaign it's getting worn out quite fast, but I guess there's already bunch of guys working on their own.

I think there was a deathmatch map/mod thing under work too, might have a vid in youtube.

Also, did they fix the bug that let you reload the ammo box to replenish the boxes you carry? People were asking me how to get so many packs when I just kept dropping them.

So far finished it with hard with some friends, guess we'll take on the insane next, when they're online.

We'll they would be impossible of course. The achieves say normal or harder but it basically means normal. It's like they calculated the mathematically perfect time and added 1 second. There is no breathing room at all.

To me this game was a bit like Shadowgrounds (Not a bad thing) but with coop and nice ranking system this is much better. I just love leveling up and getting better equipment.

just get 3 tesla cannons and a medic with the medgun/healing aoe thing and insane really isn't that difficult. the last level can be kinda hard though.

We used a heavy with autocannon on point.
Engineer with tesla behind him (no friendly fire).
Medic with medigun.
Officer with vindicator covering the back.

It worked reasonably well without being "gimmicky".

Just did the last level on insane. We lost a guy half way through but it was pretty easy, easier than hard. Maybe those two guys using tesla as imba...

Running to the ship was a doddle

joining games is getting pretty annoying, I do not want Landing Bay again! The patch didn't fix it at all

Me and my friend and two pubs just played Landing Bay on normal about 100x, trying to do it as fast as possible for quick exp, around 1000 for 2mins work

It took about 20 tries to get the achievement of completing it in 1m25
But if others are after this, what we did was:
1 tech that can do the hacks quickly (adrenaline helps here)
2 special weps that hold pistols when running and when you're at the final stage and waiting for the final door to break, just use miniguns with damage multiplier and it breaks in seconds
The last guy can be whatever but holding pistols or the protectors will be best

Adrenaline seems to help, so puzzles are easier and quicker to solve and so you can dodge aliens easier

Even if you fail, you end up levelling so quick

I just found a way to bypass this. Although this is against Steam's intent, I don't see a problem with divulging because a) its easily found anyway and b) TL members aren't spambots. PM me.

It was such a huge fun! I suggest it to anyone who already feels familiar with game, has good group and likes speedrunning.

I'm gonna be playing this a lot for the next few days, if not the next few weeks. However my internet is kind of slow, so only add me if you're in the East Asia region. Or post your steam id and I'll add you.

Really want to play this with TL members.
ID: UberB

As for skills, I can play any class but I like tech a lot. I've beaten the campaign on easy and normal; I haven't tried hard or insane yet. I would likely be a liability on the latter.

On a side note, is the Join game function from the group buggy for anyone else? 90% of the time it only displays internal ip or a 0.0.x.x ip which you can't join - it will only say server is not responding. Only today did I find a guy whose actual external ip was displayed and I could probably join - if the game was not full, made by this guy called VINCE.

So vince, if you read TL...tell us your secret

Everyone get the Deep Freeze survival map. :D

edit: A small map pack my friend sent me, havent tried it yet though:

http://www.file-upload.net/download-2691084/AS-Little_Map_Pack2.zip.html

Extract and click them individually and it will install themselves.

Updated version of DeepFreeze:

FYI: The DeepFreeze map in the pack is the older version.

it seems this game doesn't scale according to # of players?

We were able to beat level 2 on normal with 3 people pretty easily, but then I tried yesterday with one of my friends and we had severe trouble with level 3, even after setting the difficulty to easy.

Do you need 3 or 4 people to play, or is there something I'm missing?

Blasius it's the mirracle of team which is playing. Because I felt it enough especially after playing with people like myself (playstyle and attitude wise).

I could make examples, but I'm quite sure you'll get what I mean.

no i don't think it scales to the # of people in the game, unfortunately. although it is fun to type in asw_ignore_need_two_player_requirement 1 into the console and try to solo some levels :D

Added you.

I started playing today. After a few hours, me and another random guy managed to beat the first two stages in hard mode (Tech + Medic). It was quite challenging.

Would love to have someone to help finish up hard and test the waters in insane.

so my friends and I tried to do the speed run with only 3 people for 3 hours...and then we finally got our time down to 1:23, and then we realized that no one can die (we had to let the tech die after downloading to data). Guess we'll wait for a 4th.

Anyone here has a solution that works to solve the problem of Alien Swarm (crashing) going back to desktop while it starts up? I tried some googled answers but to no avail so far.

I presume others have had the problem, saw at least one similar question in this thread but couldnt find a helpful reply.

They might have fixed this in the latest update.

The Vindicator’s grenade explosion effect should no longer crash users running a GTX260 graphics card.

Another annoying bug is that the FPS drops really during the briefing screen of the final mission Timor Station. Makes chatting a pain.

As for skills, I can play any class but I like tech a lot. I've beaten the campaign on easy and normal; I haven't tried hard or insane yet. I would likely be a liability on the latter.

On a side note, is the Join game function from the group buggy for anyone else? 90% of the time it only displays internal ip or a 0.0.x.x ip which you can't join - it will only say server is not responding. Only today did I find a guy whose actual external ip was displayed and I could probably join - if the game was not full, made by this guy called VINCE.

So vince, if you read TL...tell us your secret


Added you.

I started playing today. After a few hours, me and another random guy managed to beat the first two stages in hard mode (Tech + Medic). It was quite challenging.

Would love to have someone to help finish up hard and test the waters in insane.

anyone have a problem with the speed runs? this is what happened to us:

1) 3 people, we complete it, only 2 get the achievement. we re-run it, and the 3rd player gets the achievement, even though he should of got it the first time.

2) then next level we have only 2 people. my friend gets the achievement, and i dont.

i think it may have something to do with when you enter the final room. all our screens times matched up, and no one died obviously (since the achievement says 0 deaths). both times i was the last one into the room (by a very small margin) and both times i failed to get the achievement, even though we had 6 seconds to spare

Just throwing this out there in case there's anyone else who would prefer to play a game like this on their 360 controller. I modified it, and included some other commands if you want to change it. All input commands in the game can be found in steamapps/common/alienswarm/swarm/cfg/keyboard_config

I didn't get "cancelselect" to work but I only tried it once. Messing around with the config files is fun.

[Edit]Until I figure out a way to fix the sensitivity for the Right Analog Stick the game is just plain better on a keyboard. Which is a shame, this type of game lends itself naturally to using a controller.

[Edit2] Fixed errors and updated for proper spacing. Huzzah for clean code.

There is a code function: [ code ]

This is for code



On the one hand, too bad that there is only one campaign, on the other hand, they also released an SDK for it. I thought about mapping for it, but I probably won't finish it anyway as I am really lazy .

We did all speedruns 2 days ago and never had anything like this. If someone was late - everyone missed it. Maybe they fixed something in the latest update but didn't mention it...

One achievement is bugged, the Reactor one (4th level), it says it requires 3:10 but got rewarded for a bit higher time.

Some levels are extremely easy to speedrun, some are quite annoying, like 3rd one. It depends on hacks the most but it requires huge tactical move.

Chaining adrenaline makes the speedruns pretty easy, only hard one is the last, and maybe the 5th(?), where you have to burn the biomass, since you have to split up your whole team.

Yes, we had that problem, only 1 person got the achievement on level 5 (the biomass one) because he was the first into the elevator.

Just beat Hard today.
"Almost" beat the 2nd level in Insane with 3-man. Screw ups are very unforgiving... and encounters are also different.
Could use more experienced players for Insane runs. Patience is required for trial and error.

Insane requires a dedicated Faith medic with medic gun + heal beacons or an entire group that is amazing at not getting infested. Other than that you need to keep a fair pace (if you take forever the swarm spawns endlessly so you will never move) and have your team rotate around to make sure the medic stays in the middle away from danger (since the medic has zero weapons and melee is not good in insane without power fist (your medic should go either of the armors, i prefer the electro armor vs infest since im the healer). Your other 3 guys just need to be competent at aiming and conserving ammo and not killing your allies/running off rambo. Strategy of the levels is basically the same on hard as insane, just in insane you need stronger team work/formation so you don't get picked off my super fast rape alien dudes.

As far as chainsaws/hacking doors, a I can generally hack a full health door faster than it can be chainsaw'd down (as Vegas since the puzzles are easier given his tech skill), but those sorts of puzzles are something I'm just ridiculously good at. As people get used to doing them regularly, I think that will be the case.

I personally like the medic's playstyle best, and find that at insane level it works out best if I go Faith with Assault Rifle and Medic gun with electro-armor. Having really strong team mates and a good protocol for who covers what direction and when to change off (for reloads, etc) makes this very viable. Having the extra gun makes not getting overrun much much easier, and you can also toss a team-mate a gun in a pinch. It ultimately comes down to your team comp and what works best for you.
That which is overdesigned, too highly specific, anticipates outcomes; the anticipation of outcome guarantees, if not failure, the absence of grace.

Hard is quite hard. Haven't tried it on insane yet. Was wondering what the consensus is on the best auxiliary item. My group usually carry a mixture of electro shield (for parasite clearing), rockets (clears stuff fast) and ice bombs(great for the tractor aliens).

Hard is pretty easy with basic formation/team movement. After the first play-through of hard your team should be clearing the levels with minimal problems.


also, damage amp + 4x PDW own doors so fast, you can kill any door in under 3 seconds with everyone firing at it. We are using it for speed runs although we haven't used adrenaline yet, will probably do that to make speed runs easier.

L4D2 is an absolutely awesome game and definitely well worth the money. Versus mode is against human opponents so there's always a challenge and the skill cap is surprisingly high. I often play online but the best experience is when we manage 8 guys together on LAN.

After the HUGE Tesla Cannon nerf, I have been obsessed with the Vindicator and the Pump-action. These things are beast when covering the rear.

pretty cool how a lot of the aliens are clones from the HL universe, considering its a valve game

a lot of the levels look very half-lifey as well.

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.

I've been playing a lot. Beat Insane without too much trouble (had an amazing bunch from a pub..quite weird). I found out that I'm an amazing Faith as well. I haven't found a group I can get together all at once though. You need a really coordinated team for speed runs. Someone help me

Joining these official groups are almost pointless, because there are too many players, basically you can join any game and find someone from that group and that doesn't really give you anything.

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)

Cos it's a steep learning curve.
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

Medics are handy for insane speed runs, mostly because Bastille has a bonus to adrenaline length. And being able to heal helps. But for speed runs you NEED 4 people on some levels.

RA, you gotta give me some tips, 'cuz I'm having the hardest time with Insane. I only just got to the sewers (second to last level i think) after playing like 3hrs straight.

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?

The best loadout for speed runs is (I went through last night on Insane with this):
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.

speed runs are actually really easy, but particularly i like going


Medic - standard rifle (the one with 5 frags) heal gun adrenaline
Officer - vindicator, flame thrower tesla coils
Tech - PDW, flame thrower hand welder
Special Weapons - minigun, or shotgun, Flame thrower, and tesla coils.

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

Haven't made it through on insane yet (and not sure when I will now that SC2 is out...) but just wondering, why mass chainsaws? So you can run and kill? Or to tear down doors/rocks?

Chainsaws will 1-hit bugs, parasites, shooters, and flies. Tesla+Chainsaw can take down a shield or turret in about 3 seconds, and 3 people with chainsaws is faster than hacking a door. You also never have to slow down for a reload animation and you don't have to worry about ammo. They also break down rocks, so you don't need to bother with the Mining Laser on Timor Station.

Did anyone see the new mission called "Isolation" by valve on the gamelist?

I saw it for a few seconds then it disappeared. It said the map was hosted on www.alienswarm.com but I can't find anything on it anywhere...

Is there any info as to if there are going to be new campaigns? I really like Alien Swarm, because after a long day of study, I can just kick back and shoot aliens without thinking too much ;x

Haven't made it through on insane yet (and not sure when I will now that SC2 is out...) but just wondering, why mass chainsaws? So you can run and kill? Or to tear down doors/rocks?

The chainsaw is one of the best weapons in the hands of a good player. With a few good rolls you can solo Insane shield bugs in about 8 seconds.
I don't agree that it's great for speed runs though, since you have to slow down to fire it. Except for Timor Station where you use it to break down rocks.
Grenade launchers are better at destroying doors, like on landing bay for example.

Joining these official groups are almost pointless, because there are too many players, basically you can join any game and find someone from that group and that doesn't really give you anything.

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)

Medics are handy for insane speed runs, mostly because Bastille has a bonus to adrenaline length. And being able to heal helps. But for speed runs you NEED 4 people on some levels.

You don't need 4 people for any speed run. You can do most of them with 2 and even 1 person on Cargo Elevator.

If you do it easy. Insane speed runs require 4 people. And the barracks require 4 regardless of difficulty level.

By barracks you mean SynTek Residential?
I've done them all 3 man myself so I know you're mistaken.

I'm sure I could do some of Insane ones without 4 people too. Cargo elevator certainly.

Yes, Residential. And some can be done on Insane with 3 people. None can be done solo (you won't have enough Adrenaline). I wouldn't even try with 2.

Just a question: What is the viability of the mining laser during the last mission?
3 people, myself and 2 other friends, had a run where 2 of us ended up with the mining laser since we ran out of ammo. When we died, my friend speculates that the reason of our death was that we had "only 1 person with any firepower at all".

Your thoughts on using the mining laser?

According to this friend, the mining laser is only super effective on 2 things:
Rocks (inanimate objects), and teammates
