I think it should eb classed as a third person zombie shooter sexy free arsed rollicking co-op class-based xp gaining rps.

Though I don't think we should call a forum that. :oops:

It should totally be in Simulation/Racing 8)

Anyone know if Valve is going to release a new campaign? Would like to keep playing more of this game but don't want to keep playing the same campaign over and over again.

Top-Down Shooter? It's not an isometric perspective (120-120-120 angles) sooo...

They have a listing for a Phalanx Campaign that they reckon will be released in about 2 weeks. It's a start.


As for the fps thing... it can be a first person shooter with the right tweaks or mod :P

Edit: scratch that - that's old... just saw the date. :P

Alien Swarm is a free game and has been updated regularly to try to iron out the remaining bugs (excuse the pun). All things considered, as it stands the game is a little disappointing and falls short of its true potential.
