This is amazing. The vids really don't do the graphics justice. The lighting is fucking ace.

Also, the gameplay feels tight.

 

[Teknoman]

i'm getting L4D vibes from this game (so far), controls are kinda awkward though (turning your mouse changes strafe to forward and vice versa)

Yeah Thaigrocer was saying its like L4D in space, which actually sounds kinda cool. Does the soundtrack fit with the game at all, or is it generic rock/high tension music.

I'll probably use the Aliens Soundtrack for my play times.

I might look into that too. The original Quake 1 soundtrack could work too.

 

[blackMamba1187]

Hey dude, nothing against you or Akira but would you mind not putting a gif with exploding people as your avatar? Thanks.

I guess I can change it. Just give me a bit to figure out what to ask for in the avatar request thread.

 

[Threi]

music has been pretty subdued so far, nothing has really stuck out yet.

that being said i can't seem to join any online games

 

[Leatherface]

Finished downloading! Off to try.

 

[Stallion Free]

You can draw on the goddamn map before the mission! Motherfucking sweet.

Looking forward to tactical co-op. Also Ccrook, going back to check out the Aliens soundtrack, and alot of that seems like it would fit perfectly.

Probably should go back and watch the movie again since I havent seen it in awhile.

Thanks. I usually don't mind stumbling on that stuff unless I'm eating.

Built-in custom soundtracks = win. Make your mp3 playlist in game.

 

[Demigod Mac]

Well, the Aussie server I was getting it from at a steady 200 KB/s has now collapsed under the weight.

Any decent servers remaining?

 

[V_Arnold]

I am having it fluctuate between 150k and 1,1mb on the Germany/Frankfurt servers.
But at one point it was like 1byte/sec... awesome-o.

Wanna play this with some gaffers, just need to figure out now how I can join the steam group

 

[Haunted]

Too busy to log me in, eh Steam?

I'm not good enough for you, is that it? Motherfuckers.

 

[Teknoman]

Wait its even got built in custom soundtracks?

 

[Volcynika]

Hopefully I'll be home after the servers get hammered :lol

 

[CoLaN]

I'm really liking the game, just did a mission on Normal using the Tech class

 

[DieH@rd]

Urgh, updating game is really slow. 30-100kb\s

 

[Morbid Angel]

:lol

My download doesn't even start..it just keeps pausing. We are not good enough for them

 

[Zerokku]

I was pulling 1.6mbps on my normal US - Phoenix server.

 

[MightyKAC]

Holy fuck.

Yeah so if you live in Japan switch your D/L server to S.Korea and your speed will go from 70KB peak to 1.1MB. :O

 

[Proven]

Getting a steady 1.2MB/s over here in Toronto. Should be done soon.

I thought it would have been jumped on right now, but I finally caved in and decided to try it. 1.0 MB/s

 

[SuperAwesome]

Game is fucking awesome

 

[Saty]

Painfully slow. 10-20 KB/s. Are servers hammered that way with non-Valve steam game downloads?

 

[Threi]

i activated a moving platform and suddenly everything went in slow motion :lol

 

[Proven]

Aaaaand I'm done! Toronto is awesome. I'm going to have to visit there again soon.

 

[blackMamba1187]

Here are a few screens from the 1(?) offline map. Didn't see any settings to play with a controller and the game will be a nightmare for obsessive reloaders, like myself.

 

[Technosteve]

Vietnam is decent 512kB/s i wonder if philly is fucked right now

 

[Deleted member 1235]

54Kbps

somethings not right

Netherlands

 

[Prophet Steve]

Seem to get lower speeds then anyone else on all servers, on Vietnam it constantly paused and in Toronto 200 kb max.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

i activated a moving platform and suddenly everything went in slow motion :lol

Same thing happened to me. Game literally CRAWLED when I activated the elevator.

I got 1.6MB/s over here (Seattle). Definitely a lot of teamwork involved (drop ammo/health kits/Techs to unlock doors).

You lose the clip if you reload, though.

 

[John]

54Kbps

61 Mb/s?

I'm really digging the lighting and the overall art style. It trumps most $20 PSN/XBLA titles.

You better not tank my okish speed.:lol Although I bet most of the obscure countries are getting in the 500ish range if you experiment.

 

[vocab]

Downloaded it fine 1.5-2.2 MB/s here in ghetto land.

 

[Leatherface]

Best free arcade game ever? I would have paid for this one, easily.

 

[erpg]

I love space suits!

Spoiler

<3 Shattered Horizon's

This is the game for me.

 

[blackMamba1187]

Same thing happened to me. Game literally CRAWLED when I activated the elevator.

Happened for me too. Figured it was what was supposed to happen there.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Damn you, Technosteve! I just got booted with an error message. Don't post servers people.

Spoiler

Until I've downloaded mine

 

[Stop It]

Getting 350KB/s from Singapore (I'm in the UK but local servers are all being hammered) but that's only 1/5 of my max bandwidth so I am trying... Denmark.

Nobody ever thinks of Denmark, mwhahahaha, oh wait. Forget I said that...

Edit: Same speeds, bah.

 

[AcciDante]

Noooo! I got 3/4 of the download and now it stopped

 

[Diablohead]

Steam paused my download and now it won't resume. ugh.

 

[Sober]

Happened for me too. Figured it was what was supposed to happen there.

Yeah I'm guessing it's sorta like the Adrenaline thing I saw in the gameplay trailer ... I guess they give you bullet time for free when the elevator is going down about 1/3 of the way. Hell, you can even see the aliens crawling up the shaft wall ready to hop down on you. Heck, you can even shoot em.


edit: is it like gears if you get the speed reload off there is a damage bonus, or just a quicker reload? also, dunno if it is the difficulty (did it offline mode, normal) but there is a tiny bit of leeway from getting and missing the speed reload.

Also I died cause I fell into a pit. Welding doors = awesome, gonna try the other classes out too. Nice they don't enforce 1:1:1:1 of each class, just 1 tech marine required for most missions, I'm guessing.

 

[Tain]

Sorry if this has been answered, but does this allow people with no other Source games to make and play Source SDK mods?

That'd make it almost like a UDK move for Valve.

 

[DieH@rd]

I'm in paused mode and i cant continue. Servers are dead. :-/

 

[gregor7777]

Finally able to d/l

 

[DogWelder]

Finally able to d/l

I still can't, tried a lot of different download regions as well. Ah well, I'll just wait until tonight.

 

[Subterranean]

Has this been mentioned yet? I just got the achievement, haven't hopped on TF2 to check if I got one or not.

 

[Threi]

<3 sentry gun

 

[Teknoman]

Im probably going to go for media or tech, cool that theres like 40+ weapons to choose from.

 

[Diablohead]

Mine suddenly hit 1.1mb and sped up again, finished downloading now.

Time to unlock that TF2 hat!

 

[Sadist]

Downloading now.
