Alien Swarm
Unless you've living under a rock here recently, hopefully you've taken a moment to download Alien Swarm, http://store.steampowered.com/app/630/, from steam and played through.
What's everyone's thoughts on the game? Anyone attempting the level editor/map making tool yet?
Played with Pwnz yesterday for awhile and had a great time, some much so that I forgot to write this frigging essay! That being said after I do write that essay this afternoon I'm game for killing some more creepy alien dudes...anyone else?

I had a bad experience with an Alien Swarm once. They were like, "I love you box" and I was all, "I love you cat."
We didn't make it.
Dem derr aliens put up a fight, that they do.

Damn...you need sv_cheats on to use firstperson mode. =/
Apparently theres an issue with hacking in first person mode so dont use it if youre going to play tech.

Press Releases - Valve
14:08
Since release, we've received a ton of feedback and feature requests from the Alien Swarm community. The most requested additions are more variety and greater difficulty.
With that in mind, we've added "Onslaught" mode, which introduces an AI Director that dynamically generates swarms of aliens based on several factors, such as the squad's stress level. Onslaught works with any difficulty setting and ensures no mission plays the same way twice.
Speaking of difficulty, we've also added a "Brutal" difficulty level for those of you who told us "Insane" wasn't insane enough. How brutal is Brutal? Nobody on the Alien Swarm team has managed to complete a mission on it.
If for some crazy reason Brutal is still too easy for you, there's now a "Hardcore Friendly Fire" toggle. When enabled, friendly fire deals full damage immediately, flamethrowers set teammates on fire much faster, and turrets will hurt you if get caught in their crossfire. HCFF truly tests your team’s ability to work as a elite squad. Coordinating movement and firing lines become an even more integral part of the game.
Finally, to reward the most dedicated players, we've added 3 new IAF Promotion Ranks: Platinum Star, Osmium Star, and the coveted Iridium Medallion.
