If Alien Swarm were to have a DLC, what would you like to see in it?

Mutating Monkey Madness. MMM...
I don't care as long as we get more fucking levels and maybe guns, perhaps even enemies
I think this game could work really well with an open map Killing Floor style wave/shop game mode. We'd need more guns and shit though.
This game had so much potential. If only the whole community reliance thing worked.
Powerloaders.
Alright, here are some ideas.
1. New types of weapons. Haven't played Alien Swarm in months, so just rattling some ideas off - ice gun, slows things down, maybe a stickybomb launcher ala TF2, no idea if that'd work.
2. New campaign that has a different locale, but around about the same type of missions, with some twists. Ala L4D's campaigns.
3. Do not click on this because you will rate me optimistic forever and ever [sp]Hurr durr TF2 crossover, Heavy, Soldier, Pyro and Spy take on aliens, with all their main guns. It could work! Or extend it into a entire Valve thingie, a little homage to Valve. [/sp]
My three ha'pennies.
Even more guns
A versus mode, or maybe a tower defense mode
More use for the engineer
Tons of more campaigns

Remind me of an idea for something I had back when AS came out.
"Cryo Cannon" Uses modded Mining Laser model. Freezes props, aliens, players, doors. Also creates ice. Frozen aliens will shatter. Frozen doors will act as if welded. Welding and Freezing a door would stack.
Secondary fire sprays de-icer which will melt ice. (Custom models/animations for ice and such) Flamethrowers can melt ice. Grenades/normal/etc shatter ice.
Can the marines climb any ladder now?
And of course, new events, sandbox mode, 8 players support,...
Uber medigun to fight against ShieldCrabz?
A boss fight?

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;32678564]Just remake all maps from the original Alien Swarm.
Rebalance the game to be like original Alien Swarm.
I spent many many hours with the original UT2k4 mod. It was absolutely amazing. The current version feels... lacking.[/QUOTE]
That's a fairly good idea.

[QUOTE=DatWut?;32680976]A boss fight?[/QUOTE]
A number of people have suggested a properly big boss fight. I'll consider it.
Yeah, a boss fight would be nice. As for enemies we got a lot of them already, but a few, unique in some way shouldn't hurt.
For me though it's definitely new campaigns with new environments. It was the reason I and my friends lost interest in AS, lack of more missions. It really gets boring after numerous runs to go through the same elevator, bridge, etc.

If you need to know, I rated your post dumb because you are actually concerned by a 16x16 pixel which is an opinion of another person.

Well clearly layla had an opinion upon the post, to wish to rate it dumb. I would have liked her to have voiced that concern, so that I can address it.
Perhaps a gamemode that involved you actually helping people out. Such as a level where your squad is dropped off at a recently attacked colony where you must go around the level killing off aliens and saving people. It could work where you have your squad fighting through a level, and coming across people surrounded by aliens that you save, and the people follow you around the level where you must protect them from being killed by aliens until you are rescued at the end of the level. You would gain points for every person you kept alive, and lose points for having a person killed.
I loved when we were able to cheat. Going onto servers and summoning missile hordes at the awe of other players was great.
People playing. :v:
More variety in enemies and more intuitive aiming. Outlines on players like L4D, slower player movement speed (To reduce prevalence of friendly fire and to encourage cohesion, respectively) . I'd like to see a mission with "infested" humans who can use weapons against you, so killing them quickly will get you more ammo. They shouldn't have anything too powerful though, maybe only the AR and the odd Shotgun. The medic also needs more variety in supplies/items. There's the box and the gun, but neither are able to be rearmed. Maybe they could have a very slow-recharging health drop which only heals a single player maybe 15%.
Improved infection curing. Jesus fuck, but infections are impossible to remove without using up ALL your healing stuff. As many of those little fuckers there are in the campaigns, you'd think it would be a little easier for the Medic to actually do something about them.
More campaigns, maybe more weapons, more fun and maybe 1 or 2 more tf2 items
Make it playable fluently in old PCs and cool new campagins related to Valve Universe.

I was able to play it on a 2k3 rig without any lag. Turn your settings down.
Turn it into a science fiction Dota

That actually is a great idea.

And you can't gain experience on non-official maps.

In all honesty, why the fuck do you care
