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

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;32717827]In all honesty, why the fuck do you care[/QUOTE] Because we're throwing ideas around and layla thought that idea was dumb. I'd like to know why and if it's a valid concern, I can address it so that layla no longer believes it's dumb. It's fairly obvious. We're discussing a game that I'd like to appeal to a large number of people.

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;32717523]And you can't gain experience on non-official maps.[/QUOTE]I thought they patched that

[QUOTE=NeoDement;32719407]I thought they patched that[/QUOTE] Last patch I saw was soon after the game was put on Steam, then they dropped it.

[QUOTE=solid_jake;32675034]First person game mode[/QUOTE] They have that, it's called Left 4 Dead.

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;32719101]Layla's known for going into threads and rating people dumb for no reason how does this surprise you[/QUOTE] Oh. Fuck it then.

Neo is right, you can gain XP on custom maps now.

I'd like swarms of aliens

Ugh, I don't exactly remember much of the game, but it lacked substance for me. It's kinda-sorta kept realistic, but we don't care about what's at stake, we don't emphasize with the characters or anything that's at stake. Plus the perspective doesn't exactly make for horror. So that's out. L4D at least has decent characterization, both of the player cast and the Special Infected. It also doesn't have the humor, stylization or character design from TF2. So what does Alien Swam have? Shooting some aliens in a four-man-team. The upgrades never really made the game, tho I guess they kept me long enough to get to the finale. Which I already completely forgot. Alien Swarm just plays like a game made just to make a game. Not because of passion or to experiment with innovation. Might not be the case, but that's how I felt while playing through it.

Something with a nuke?

You needed all living players on the pad to summon Bloodhound. The countdown persisted even when the dropship was summoned. Getting onto the pad late or not getting onto the dropship could doom your entire team. All during this there was constant stream of aliens spawning.

A cover system. Health regeneration. QTEs.

This game was better than L4D2 to me, i wouldn't mind if they added microtransaction to keep it going.

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;32728001]A cover system. Health regeneration. QTEs.[/QUOTE] Space to roll to avoid projectiles. Medics. Hacking/Adrenaline.

I would be nice for the game to come out with a patch. I dunno how doable it is, but with the customizable playlist I used to have trouble playing certain types of media. Everything had to be in mp3 to play it; making other media formats playable would be nice. As well, more maps. Maybe a desert or winter themed map.

I want a campaign in which you play 4 marines from Half-Life. Would be cool imo

More aliens. [sp]to port to Gmod[/sp]

If I remember correctly, there was an unused "boss" alien in the SDK. A massive alien queen of some kind. Use that or something like it in a new campaign.

part two of the current campaign like, return to hq, and find the place infested and the commander the only survivor, so the queen's nest is there and you nhave to destroy the queen

What I'm really wondering is whether Smashman will actually do shit about making a DLC or he's just saying he's going to just for attention. I mean, he created a thread and everything asking 'what would you like?' it just sounds like he wants attention. Again. Of course I could be wrong, but whenever I do those things its for attention.
