You know you're a medic when...

[CABAL49]

So I started play Alien Swarm today. Beating aliens to death with my medpack just made me...happy. Here is the game if you wanna see.

It is Steam and it is free. I am CABAL on Steam (original I know) Let's go huntin'.
I am not as creative or enthusiastic as DFM, so I will not insult y'all by trying. But I will say medpack beatdown.

I love Valve for little things like this. Came for the hat, stayed for the fun game.


I lie the medic, as well. Run around with two medpacks, beating things to death like you but then I got the healing gun and now run Faith with Medigun + Medpacks + Damage Reduction

Parasites can go to hell, especially on that last level.


One issue: the game runs slow for me because there is a lot of the detail. This becomes very obvious if you look at the world in first person view. Look, a basketball (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2383368/asi-jac1-landingbay_pract0001.jpg)!

I tend to play whatever the group is missing, which is generally medic, but I play more of a combat role, with a tesla cannon as primary weapon and healing gun/healing beacon as secondary. Adrenaline or electric armour tends to be my tertiary choice.

Yes. I've switched from what I said before to Tesla+Medigun. I feel much less helpless.

Helpless? When you show those bugs your fists of steel, you won't be so helpless! I seriously had, like, the second most kills in one game because I ran around punching everything as a medic with the Medic Gun, and the Healing Beacon. It was awesome, and unless the enemy was a shield bug, it worked.

Having just played it for an hour and a half, I agree, game is fun.

Also, either the me and my two friends suck, or this game is hard.

We made to the last level, rolling with me as a tech and the other two as a medic and a weapon specialist. That last level kicked our butts. We would do alright until we got to the part where there are 2-3 shield bugs and a swarm of the bugs that spawn the non-infecting parasites. Man, that part sucks. We'd either get split apart and get mauled by shield bugs, or run out of ammo and die a slow, painful death by mini bugs.

...For the sake of my ego, I'm declaring the game to be difficult.

You cried on Ninja Gaiden's easy mode. Didn't you? DIDN'T YOU?!

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Ninja Gaiden has an easy mode!? That's just there to screw with the player, I'm sure of it.

or run out of ammo and die a slow, painful death by mini bugs.

Someone bringing an ammo crate becomes almost mandatory on the later levels, I find.
