more info on the fps mode that i posted earlier

First, this is not very playable
- Mouse wheel attack doesn't ever work (as shown in video)
- You easily get "lost" as you don't have the bird's eye view.
- Your aim point is off a bit because you are playing over the shoulder view and not FPS view
- Looks dumb cause no roof!
- Hard to see when you are getting raped from the back
- Can see door's life through walls, very annoying on maps with lots of doors.
- Can't do any "hacking" as a tech, due to the mouse commands being reconfigured.
- This is "working" due to the fact that game is 3d, units are full 3d units with textures on all sides. Thus you can view it from all sides and not crash the game or anything.
Older games like THREAT had pictures drawn from the top side so was IMPOSSIBLE to change views, this is a true 3d game thus allowing you to have a free roaming cam.
- Just cause you CAN doesn't mean it is better
- You will get bored of playing like this very fast.
- I am 99% sure the mod community is already working on a FUN FPS game mode for this. Only time will tell if it will be fun or not.

But here is how it is done.
Options -- keyboard/mouse
scroll all the way down and enable dev mode. (the check box)
hit the ` (by #1 and tab)
Type in each of the follow words without quotes, in ( ) i will say what it does
"firstperson"
(first person mode)

"asw_hide_marine 1"
(you really play over the should view, this removes the marine from view)

"asw_controls 0"
(this removes the "dumb movment", normally w is "north" cause you are stuck in "north = up" mode, but in first person you can turn and look different ways, so w is no longer north. This makes wsad movement like normal FPS.)

There are many fun dev commands to try.
The game is MEANT to be modded and will greatly change within a few weeks Can't wait to see what the modders do first and i hope valve picks up the good ones and makes them make the next l4d

Hey when you guys right-click someone on your friends list who's playing Alien Swarm and click "View game info", does it actually show the info or does it say "server is not responding".

It seems I only have this problem with this game while all others are fine.

My guess is it has something to do with opening ports?

[LUUUUUUUU]

having trouble joining a lot of games online... and lagging badly and timing out a lot fuck... some servers when i alt tab and go back i timed out...

anybody try FPS mode?

[DanHibiki]

Infestation is the worse idea ever.

man.. so hard to aim... but was pretty fun.. i doubt i will play it again..

playing Combat Arms.. pretty good.

I am totally loving this game.
I can't wait until the mods start pouring out.

More weapons, more perks, more upgrades and possible drops and loot?

This could be the basis of an epic diablo clone.

People who are failing me are doing it just because everyone else is. Thats the problem with fails/thanks, they are usually handed out too liberally.
I don't really care if people fail me but what does piss me off is when I don't get any thanks. I've posted tons of shit and only collected a few thanks. I should have at least 300 or so thanks to my name.

the day that you get banned, i will actually go through all of your 226 post and put thanks on them
