Awesome game, tried it with a friend. A lot of clueless people playing it though, reminds of the early days of L4D.

SDK is available so expect more campaigns soon.

We should hold an Alien Swarm competition, just get lots of squads of 4 from the community and invite players outside the community to register and sign up their teams also.  it would be great for the community and make for some really fun times.  Whats the deal with servers though, something like this would have to be on our own server i would imagine, has anyone looked into the possibility of hosting?

I thought of this too, will fill in more details when I get home but it wouldn't be easy to implement.

servers are easy

how you'd run a tourney (i.e. what counts as a win?) is a bit trickier... :D

Hard or Insane mode.

Whoever finishes it in less restarts wins.

In case of tie:
  • Number of marines alive
  • Time it took to finish, minutes

Just an idea.

PRO TIP: Pick the guy with melee damage bonus, take the chainsaw and the powerfist.  ;D

The only way a competitive game of Alien Swarm would work is if it was set to insane difficulty and to measure the times taken to complete each mission.

Tier 1 of the competition would be the first stage, tier 2 the second etc.

This would require 2 things, a sourceTV slot on a Alien Swarm and a SourceMOD that unlocks everything for everyone or something similair.

The higher level people always have the advantage, so it would never be a fair competition so you need to figure out a way to unlock everything for everyone.
