God damn, I love the Tesla and Flamer combo. A blast of the Flamer for normal Swarm, a blast from the Tesla Gun for bigger Swarm and Parasites. A Tesla Blast guarantees a quick kill on those fucking Shieldbugs and Bomb-Throwiing Bugs.

Short range is a disadventage.
What my teams have been doing for killing those hordes of shieldbugs on hard:
They have 2 people running around stunning with teslagun, so none of them can move, then i get into position with the minigun, pop a damage amp, and within 5 seconds the entire screen will be cleared.
Really makes some of the harder battles cakewalks.
This game is fun so far, but i've only played offline as the online mode takes forever and ever to connect to a game, so I haven't had a chance to play that yet.
However I think this game would greatly benefit from some total conversion mods, say an Aliens one and a Spacehulk one, would be all kinds of awesome
Promoted myself :P. Gonna be fun to lvl up again.
Also, anyone know how to change difficulty when you are running dedicated?
I have the feeling that before long, someone is going to release an Aliens campaign. This is the perfect game for it.
Wonder when someone will make an total zombie conversion mod for it.

This is what the original UT2K4 mod was based off of.
Jaeger + Vindicator + Laser Mines = GOD
Anyone know how much promotions there are?
I just got the third medal and i heard it may be the last one already.

Or you could just use a freeze grenade.
Does anyone know what happens when you beat the small red arrow thing when hacking? I haven't noticed anything.
It's a "fast hack", gets you up to 50 extra xp per level and you need 10 of them for an achievement.
Any one here who else got a speedrun completed?
[QUOTE=niloc117;23518502]Any one here who else got a speedrun completed?[/QUOTE]
There was a thread on steam forums with people people posting screenshots and videos of their speedruns...
Does promotion do anything?
Or is it just a pretty little medal like prestige.
(i also was really disappointed how quick leveling up was, until i saw someone promoted, then i was all like not disappointed
If anyone is up for a game on hard, add me on Steam.

Just epeen enlargement. You can do it 3 times.
A question, do you need more xp to level up when you've promoted yourself?
And do you get to keep the weapons you've unlocked?

You don't keep your weapons.
[QUOTE=X-Neon;23518812]You don't keep your weapons.[/QUOTE]
Argh dammit.
[QUOTE=aydin690;23518716]Just epeen enlargement. You can do it 3 times.[/QUOTe]
You should get something at the 3rd time, like maybe a stat increase to each class type.
so 1 officer,tech,special,medic. And only 1 stat of your choice goes up by 1.
What is with games and the whole "get a shiny badge then unlock all your shit over again" concept? Its pointless. Regardless, I finally fixed the freezing issue. For those who also have it: put "mat_queue_mode 1" in the dev console.

It's just novelty, why do you complain? There's no reason to do it.
Jaeger looks like Hunter S. Thompson :3:
[QUOTE=LeonS;23519323]It's just novelty, why do you complain? There's no reason to do it.[/QUOTE] Because it takes the place of actual content. I'm not saying its some horrible aspect that is ruining games, I'm just saying its annoying. They should at least give some kind of motivation to do it over, like some special weapon or something.

"Takes place of content"
"They should at least give some motivation"
First of all: That's okay content, sure it could be better but it's not terrible
Secondly: I find it motivating to do, 3 stars would inevitably mean that you are not a bad player.
Does the AI prefer to follow the wall or something? Cause the AI in my map keep going to the north of the map to finally come around and get to me.

Onslaught mode addon, apparently.[/QUOTE]
I'd try it out, but apparently Alien Swarm is not avalieble.
Fuck.
[editline]02:18PM[/editline]
What the fuck? As I'm about to type into this box steam crashes and the error report box comes up and it fucking reports it. Rage.
[editline]02:21PM[/editline]
Is anyone else having steam issues? I finally got it running, then steamcloud said it could not sync the files and now steam crashed.
