You don't believe that, do you?

-
-
I played the first few levels. It's pretty cool!
-
-
Yeah. I can't figure out how to set V Sync though. I guess I'll have to do it from my vid card.

-
I've been playing a lot of tower defense and look forward to action tower defense.
-
It ain't TD though :O
-
-
hahaha this might be the most apt description
-
-
It is, and you and your buddies are the towers.
-
Towers of power
-
-
-
From top down it's very Smash TV, yes.

the best thing (besides being free) is all the steam support, like matchmaking, achievements etc. this makes it twice as awesome alone. Also it's a fantastic marketing tool for steam itself.

to me it sounds like they wanted those modders to get some experience in working with Source and the result was good enough for a release but not good enough to warrant a 20-60 dollar price tag. (or of course it was planned to be release for free all the way)
whatever the reasoning, pretty sure they are now working on something bigger. I would guess the DOTA style game they are supposedly developing shares a lot of similar gameplay mechanics...-
-
Valve released free content before, like ricochet and Deathmatch Classic. They're probably testing the waters for a more full release?
-
I've heard from a co-worker that these guys got hired by Valve for their UT 2004 mod. This was basically a "Thank you" for them getting their jobs.

The original was one of the best mods ever made for any game. It was an Unreal Tournament 2004 mod that featured a class based 4-player coop through various alien infested bases. It had RPG esque elements as well if I recall correctly, but more than that it was an intense and highly atmospheric strategic trek.
This latest release is a re-imaging on the Source engine, and it looks absolutely terrific.-
It was also one of the most brutally hard games ever made >:(
-
-
-
Still can't believe this is gonna be free. I hope it's fun, I've been hyping it up all weekend to some friends, and we're dying to play it now...
-
damn you guys this looks so awesome. at least it's not gonna cost me anything.
-
There's something about free games that tickles me in my je ne c'est quoi.
-
I can't believe it's been over 6 years since we Shackbattle'd on the original Alien Swarm MOD for Unreal Tournament 2004.

mouse + keyboard, its a very very fast game.
-
-
afaict yes it controls like crimsonland. so technically, a controller could be used to play it like geometry wars or super stardust.
-
-
-
-
Mac version soon plzkthx. :(
-
-
"later today" can't come fast enough !!!
-
"Later today" = Tuesday, next week.

One of the first maps of that era to have a moving "vehicle"
So much fun-
we played so much of that map, and the one where you had to escort the VIP. Hilarity ensued on those two maps.
-
-
How dare you bring CS into this TF discussion
-
-
-
-
lol! That map was so rad. The border jumpers were limited to axes, right?

Every once in a while I ran into a super difficult puzzle, but in most cases they were so straightforward that short of panic or just not paying attention they won't offer any challenge. Granted, I was also playing on normal difficulty so who knows? Perhaps it turns into variational calculus on the harder difficulties or something.
