[QUOTE=Talishmar;23504004]But how can anyone survive without medigun...[/QUOTE]
Personally I like the Tech Assault rifle because I don't waste ammo then and friendly fire.
Are there any custom maps yet?
I really want a survival map :c
[QUOTE=SuperHoboMan;23504054]No this happened to me, one of the parasites (facehugger things) flew over the door and killed someone, then we got bumrushed and died before even getting to the next room.
I swear to god that parasite was hacking or something, it FLEW OVER A DOOR.[/QUOTE]
I've seen a few of those larvae things crawling around above the map camera and then dropping down in random areas..
[QUOTE=cornndog;23504069]heal the infested with the autogun.[/QUOTE]
Hmm?
I was playing yesterday and someone got infected, I tried to heal him but it didn't work. So I start shooting and he explodes into facehuggers. Then I explode into facehuggers, some guy is killed by a giant thing and the last man burst into chunky salsa. Was crazy funny.

Larvas do that. Parasites are not supposed to but they do anyway.

If you're using medipack you need to deploy like two of those. With the medigun you just need to heal until the parasite gets bored. Is there
seriously no better way?

Get the shock armour and then blast the fuckers off when they're on you..or if it's passive then just hope the armour is on zap mode when you get hugged.

It's not passive. 3 uses, unrechargeable. I find it a lot more useful to use nightvision goggles or flashlight to see them and shoot them.

Flamethrower, all your parasite problems are cured.

Think I've only been hugged twice, first time 2 friends were away so just me and a buddy, no medic..got swarmed and hugged.
Second time I was healed, usually the flamethrower takes care of 'em
I just got the Landing Bay and Cargo Elevator speed runs, I'm gonna take a break.
The Deima Surface Bridge speed run is goddamn impossible. The Bloodhound thing is super slow.
What's this easy-to-use tile mapmaker thing I keep hearing about?
And how can I see my progress to the next level?
[editline]07:52PM[/editline]
Found the tilegen.
Omg yesterday when I was playing with a 4 man team, one of the swarm glitched and couldn't be killed. Needless to say, we got wiped pretty fast.
As a tech I always carry the shock armor on the last 2 or 3 levels when there are no real doors to weld.
I don't know if this is the right place for this, but does anyone else find the game kind of generic and boring?
I guess I shouldn't complain it was free...
I would say more people would think that with time but the new maps that will come will prevent it from becoming boring.
Go go gadget starship troopers map!
The campaign is short yes
But the idea is that more people will make levels+Valve might make more campaigns
After quite a few tries got the tile gen working. Gonna make some templates for it.
First try: I make a fairly big map out of the dev pieces. Export to VMF and play game, every single tile is randomly scattered about. Second/3rd try, I make a small map, export and play, it loads some random mission about killing eggs and 100 drones. I'm like wtf. 4th try it finally works.
Messed with the OP a bit. Added all the character and unlock info. If anyone has information about the map editor and want's to write something about it for the OP, do so and I'll add it.
If you're talking about the tile generator you could maybe add links to the wiki pages and put up simple instructions.

The last level on insane is so hard.
Can you shoot parasites off? It's pretty fucking retarded that the only way of saving somebody who is infected is by using the Medigun
I hate the way infection works.
You can only heal it by health beacons/medigun, so you need a medic. Even if you have a medic, it takes forever to get them off.

You can kill the parasite itself with the tesla cannon but it only slows down the process and you still need a medic to heal the person...

[QUOTE=aydin690;23505596]I think this game has memory leak issues. At first it runs brilliantly maxed out with stable 120+fps but after like 1 hour of playing it starts to slow down and after about 2.5 hours of playing my fps goes down to ~10-15fps and stays there. Restarting the game fixes the issue.
[/QUOTE]
I can't possibly be the only person with memory leak issues, can i? 3,500,000 K memory usage after roughly 3 straight hours. :psyduck:
Nevermind, just beat it on insane.
[editline]09:45PM[/editline]
Says 0% have earned the insane achievement. Wonder how many actually have done it?
I promoted and all I got was a titanium star
and all of my weapons taken from me.

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;23500502]It really is perfect for it. They made a map of it for CSS Zombie escape but it sucks.

Also what's the point of the leader class, there doesn't seem to be anything useful about it.[/QUOTE]
He increases everyone's damage
[QUOTE=Deac;23506051]The last level on insane is so hard.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I've gotten up to that one so far. The Tesla gun is invaluable.

If the person has 'Electrically Charged Armor' they can zap it off.

Yea, we used 2 tesla cannons and 2 flame throwers to beat it.
