    So this game is free and has 4 person co-op. It came out a bit back and seems like fun to just play around in.. kind of like Diablo with Aliens and Space Marines. I'm sure some of you have played it but a few of us are going to pick it up and mess around in it :D

    Free + Co-op = :thumbsup:
    Be tough for me to play this week, but definitely this weekend at some point for me!

    4 of us played this last night and it was pretty fun! Not to bad at all for a free game.

    Mine freezes and resumes every now and then, but for a top down(ish) shooter it's pretty fun..

    heh, playing this as a FPS makes for a very different game :)

    Downloading...

    edit: So...here's what I did for FPS mode/Thirdperson mode switching

    bind j "asw_controls 0; firstperson; asw_hide_marine 1; m_pitch -0.022"
    bind k "asw_controls 1; thirdperson; asw_hide_marine 0"

    The m_pitch -0.022 is to invert the mouse, so don't do that if you don't want inverted.

    This actually looks pretty fun. The video makes it look like Serious Space Marine Sam. I queued it up for download and will check it out this weekend.
