Based on the popular UT2004 mod, Valve is releasing its Source remake tonight, for free!

We used to play this with a bunch of people back in the old days, it's an incredibly fun 4 player coop game.

Let me know if you're interested in getting some games!

Yea it's only persistent for the duration of the mission and/or your game, each mission exists out of several large levels. There's numerous difficulty settings and once custom maps start pouring in I'm sure the replayability will be big enough. So no MMO micro-transactions or whatever.

There's also a (team) deathmatch multiplayer mode.

It looks nice, but it's hard to believe for me that this game is 100% free, unless it's fan made, but if it is total free big respect for Valve.

The team behind it (original UT2004 mod) were hired by valve to make a source version, however valve put them to work on L4D instead, they worked on this in their spare time and valve is giving it away for free to make people to use steam.

looks like a top down L4D with aliens, i'm in. I love how the Source engine is so highly moddable. Valve are freakin geniuses, it's too bad that the rest of the gaming world hasn't caught on "make your engine freakin modable, we'll buy your crap game and call it awesome" HL2 is still selling today because of the mods. I played the campaign once and have played all the mods since, it's the only reason i got it.

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

i doubt that, probably the developers realized that it is just a cheap clone of the original Alien Breed series that got with Alien Breed:Impact a new sequel on PC this month

I'm a player of the original Alien Swarm which was the UT2004 mod.

God DAMN those were some fun times.

<3 Well placed sentry guns.

Noobs with the flame thrower were so much fun to watch and make take point. If they were in the back they'd torch the entire team instantly lmao.

I mean I know Obama was the first one in EiR to get a card. and tbfh the Race card is pretty OP. but Romney has the K.K.K., those guys seem to camo anywhere. So OP units from both sides.
At the end of the day, however, stormtroopers finally got the anal invasion with a cactus they have richly deserved for years.
