oh my *god*

looks like it was originally a mod for alien swarm that was then put onto greenlight and approved. [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/reactivedrop[/url]

this wasn't expected at all

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;51643928]New Aliens: HL2 antlion guards and more [/QUOTE] Well, I'm ready for my monthly dose of HL3 conspiracies. Either way, it's really nice seeing devs go back to an older game and give it an update. [QUOTE=BeardyDuck;51643942]looks like it was originally a mod for alien swarm that was then put onto greenlight and approved. [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/reactivedrop[/url][/QUOTE] Oh...

Keep in mind this isn't being made by Valve, it's being made by the "Reactive Drop Team".

Even if it's just a mod I definitely needed an excuse to come back to this bad boy. This game had so much potential.

Holy fucking shit, they actually did something with it again. Good. It's a genuinely good game, albeit it needed more content. Steam Workshop Support is perfect. Wonder how that First Person mod is doing, if it ever got any further.

did anybody ever become good at this game? all I remember is constant failure at that long elevator battle

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;51643998]did anybody ever become good at this game? all I remember is constant failure at that long elevator battle[/QUOTE] Let's go play it together :V

It's nice to see this game getting attention again. Wasn't there just that one campaign and then that was it?

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;51643998]did anybody ever become good at this game? all I remember is constant failure at that long elevator battle[/QUOTE] Don't recall the elevator being that hard, sure people died but the level with eggs everywhere was a nightmare. I remember whoring the shit out of medic with the flamethrower. When I played it it was fairly dead though, came back to it a few months later and there was nobody online. Definitely going to have to give this a go when it comes out. Never got to play the original as much as I'd have liked.

holy shit hell yeah

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;51643998]did anybody ever become good at this game? all I remember is constant failure at that long elevator battle[/QUOTE] Well I was able to semi-consistently clear it if I had good teammates. Fuck the parasites though.

Wow, I'm so going back and playing this then, this game was awesome on LAN.

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;51643998]did anybody ever become good at this game? all I remember is constant failure at that long elevator battle[/QUOTE] The key is all turrers and flamethrowers.

I member when it first came out, was really good! Didn't Valve have a finger in it or am I mistaken?

Only thing I remember from Alien Swarm is almost getting the "Perfect" -achievement until a certain friend shot me in the ass like 1 meter from the end. You know who you are, you BASTARD!

It's just the mod that got greenlight. Frankly I'm disappointed and thrilled at the same time. It's great they fixed some things and enabled death match and such but the campaign quality is iffy, and adding antlions (with stock hl2 models and that look out of place in AS) was a little underwhelming. I think it'd have been better if they added more characters especially with the stat system being a thing.

Hype is real. :hypeisreal: Someone make a FP Alien Swarm Group.

Neat! I never even played the game so this is a pretty good reason to give it at try.

man this game was really fun, glad its getting some love

OH WHAT A YEAR WHAT A LOVELY YEAR

[video=youtube;gWT4Drf_MIA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWT4Drf_MIA[/video] The elevator battle. Kick ass moment from the game.

Oh damn, never got to play this without bots

I haven't touched this game since it was released with that single campaign. What kind of content has it got now?

Drawing dicks on the map oh yeah

[QUOTE=Kylel999;51644380]I haven't touched this game since it was released with that single campaign. What kind of content has it got now?[/QUOTE] I don't think anything new has been officially updated into the game since release, which is exactly why I am hyped

Didn't the game have an exploit which allowed a player to put viruses on other PCs? Afaik all of em cept this one have it fixed. If it did, then, have they fixed that?

I played it a while back and it had a SHIT TON of mods, as in maps. Some were basically ported over from hl2 and altered. Pretty great stuff.
