Re: Alien Swarm
I was curious if I could build it into an arcade cabinet. But after playing it I think that it would be too difficult to map.dsheinem wrote:You know, I just tried them and think I prefer the keyboard controls after allSpaceBooger wrote:Ok I finally figured out how to use my 360 controller:fastbilly1 wrote:Downloading tonight.

Re: Alien Swarm
These are great. It gives the game tons of options. I like that you can enable a Left 4 Dead style AI director for spawning enemies.s1mplehumar wrote:List of useful Alien Swarm console commands:

It's also impressive that you can play the game as a first person shooter if you want (though I still prefer the top-down perspective):

We are so on the same wavelength. Give me a Spacehulk mod with random generated hulks.Octopod wrote:I want some custom Spacehulk maps.
Edit:
Turns out the Omnibus team that was making a Left 4 Dead mod is making it for Alien Swarm. So yes, there will be a Spacehulk version of AS in the near future.

Ill probably be on tonight for a while playing after I finish a long ass "Infinity Gauntlet" post for my site, if you are on Ill join up for a game.
Re: Alien Swarm
Tried the 360 controller config. Hated it. It sucks. It just isn't responsive enough. I'll soldier on with the KBM controls for now. Hopefully somebody will hack in proper support for the controller rather than just a cfg remap.

Re: Alien Swarm
I tried out the first person shooter mode earlier today. I'd play it that way, but I'd have to boost my mouse sensitivity quite a bit to make it feel right, and it experiences framerate drops that kill it for me. Has anybody else tried it?
Re: Alien Swarm
i wasn't even aware of a first person mode. personally i think that would be fun. but i feel the best way to play is normal keyboard and mouse.Ack wrote:I tried out the first person shooter mode earlier today.
