Did anyone in ATF play the mod for Unreal Tournament 2004 back in the day called Alien Swarm? It was a fantastically done top-down 4-player coop mod that was bucket loads of fun to play. It was fairly intense and quite hard, but still great fun to play with 3 other people.
I had known that the same team was working on a full-on retail game, but after years of hearing nothing I gave up on it ever coming out (and I would have paid for it as a full retail game given how well the mod was done). Fast forward to today and I find out Valve hired on that team. That and now they released the full game on the Source engine and it's *FREE!* I'll be downloading this immediately. For anyone interested, we should hook up and play a bit. 4-player coop was just way too much fun on the original and hopefully will be a blast on this new release as well. It's really only fun playing coop with others, however, so I need me some people to play with.
