Best UT2004 mod ever made: Alien Swarm (gameplay video)

[gunhaver1000]

Can someone tell me if this is worth a download? I gave the free steam version a try, but couldn't run it very well on my craptop.

[bvim75]

this version of alien swarm is free like steam alien swarm:?

[spideyrockz4ever]

@SiPlusPLKV oh I see what you meant

[spideyrockz4ever]

@SiPlusPLKV No they didn't

[ApertureSciencePL]

valve make another alien swarm game on source engine its better

[GameBoiBoi]

@ApertureSciencePL The new game is better graphic and character stats-wise but it lacks some of the tactical depth and difficulty of the old mod. Also the fan made weapons and equipment packs for the mod were a lot better then any of the stuff you'd find in the new one. If Valve released new dlc/maps and added new game mechanics like weapon/equipment modding and special skills like they had in the original mod then it'd be a lot better.

[Smileperience]

What was first?

Mod "alien swarm" or the game "alien swarm"?

[deathnotedo]

@Smileperience mod

[MSDjMichaelSlash]

By the way, you will only find those modes online at least that you download the modes and play on Single Player, but get the game for less than 10$ and join our comunity :D I get easily tired of games because i play them a lot and i play this game for 3 years and i'm not even a little bit tired. Play online and take the Standard Servers only option, then you will find the crazy modes =)-

Unreal system technology...from Epic... Beats everything

[MSDjMichaelSlash]

So far I don't think it's the best mod for UT, there's more than 50 custom modes, IF this was 3D yes it would be good. Some awsome modes are Construction, where you can make your own base, house, also the UT2004 RPG system with classes (DruidsRPG) Where you can build turret and make bases to hide your team from the monsters and survive till the end, also Unreal Wheel what is a Street Racing mode... Killing floor, Deathball wich is football with shieldguns, also Tennis mode...JUST GET THE GAME!

[gaby232323]

why i find on internet 0 servers? i have the latest patch 1.34 and campaigns..

[bella1o1o]

better then fucking steam!

[breakerboy365]

Sarge: I though you would be asian

Faith:.... screw you

[ignap0]

i can't make a lan server of this mod, do you know wath do i have to do:

my problem is when use the "host" option, i choose the stage and then the game crashes

[Antik554]

what's the name of that mission (etap)

[josephschwenker]

Major features missing in the sequel: Linux support, playing without Steam.

You can't make a remake if you don't release it on the same systems as the original! It's sad that all of the servers are empty in this mod, the bots are really stupid in single player.

[kasira19]

cool they remade alien swarm into ut :)

[Vmigo123]

Thumbs up if you know this from the Steam (Valve) version of Alien Swarm!

[Kazaanh]

Don't played this one but it looks fantastic.

[TheRummor]

I LOVE TH's GAME!!!

[uptheironsacdc]

Now we don't need UT for this xDDD

Thanks Valve!

But it's all a remake of the Classic Alien Breed,right guys?

[ilovedoom3]

isnt this on steam alredy but alot diffrent

[MrAndreacampos]

@jjcv26 no its a mmo game on steam look it up free to play

[jjcv26]

valve has made a better version of this game so best get steam and download it

[DannyV1991]

so this is related to the valve version? sweet

[judiccc]

Id like in the new one a bigger maps and at least two marines more ingame - 6

[EliteZ96]

@judiccc 4 is bad enough when it comes to friendly fire.

[vidmizz]

valve version is better

[LiquidSnakeSOD]

@vidmizz It's made by the same guys who made the original. It's just that Valve hired them after they made the original mod.

[MrAndreacampos]

this game is now a a real free mmo look it up

[jjcv26]

@MrAndreacampos valve made it a free game not mmo i think

[WarFox511]

can this be played on singleplayer too?

[Kurt004]

same voice files as I can see :P

[x56erx]

I really like the perspective of the original AS! It's mutch scarier than the one from the new game...Also the maps seem to be a little in a Space Siege/Comic style, what I really dislike in the new game!

[Samus2Daksam]

Well i have to say it looks pretey cool but Steam just released the newer version but thier modder groub that releases the hl2 and hl1 game mods

[LaoshRa]

the new alien swarm is pretty awesome :) here are two drastic changes i noticed:

8 to 4: 8 marines = rather chaotic, 3-6 works best, max of 4 is fine.

the original improves marines' stats throughout the campaigns, a death results in a stat reset for that marine. as a result there are MANY remakes to restore the stats, playing the mission over and over which can be very annoying.

instead, there are now persistent achievements and levelups which dont change stats but unlock equip/weapons.

[ZzVinniezZ]

this game remind me a lot of Alien shooter

[krystcompany]

New version is great :)

[bonapartist]

The fact that this has 8, EIGHT people playing, that's twice as many as the new Source version, makes it far better alone in my opinion. The possibilities for cooperation are so much bigger

[Gustave154]

alien swarm valve edition is an excellent sequel to this game.

download it for free NOW!

[Pkzeiro]

alien swarm valve is most better, but this version in ut2004, have 8 players :X

[3m0HaSs3R]

er realese  alien swarm i want download it man the steam servers r over,load T_T

[MrPiercefield]

Alien Swarm is OUT!

[poisonedsodapop]

Wooo for medics! Just hope my laptop can handle this. D:

[22quack]

OMG I CANT W8 FOR THE VALVE VERSION!

[AngeloProduction]

2 hours and 35 minutes!

[LaoshRa]

thanks for all the hits everyone, i never imagined this to become as popular...

the sequel is going to be for free! release is in about 3 hours on steam! :D damnit i cant wait...

[adrisala1]

@LaoshRa WTF. I'm trying right now to download it, i was wating for 3 hours too. Now i can't download it because servers are too full. WTF!!

[hermach0]

@LaoshRa So what do you think of the "new" Version of Alien Swarm? Is it better then the old?

[LaoshRa]

@hermach0 i'm living in germany and i went to bed at 0:30 a.m. gmt+1 as the download was simply taking too long. gonna give it a try today though.

[hermach0]

@LaoshRa Ja xD Ich habs am Tag selber runtergeladen und es ging wirklich scheiß langsam weiter. (grtais Hut für TF 2 Spieler ftw!)

[LaoshRa]

@hermach0 yes, definately better! :D

i am still missing a couple of things though:

-when joining you have some filters but it basically puts you into some random game, i liked chosing a server with people i knew. however the new version allows private games with friends as well, so this is ok.

-tactical depth/complexity seems slightly reduced. however, there are some new features too.

-only 1 campaign! they gave away the sdk for free though, so we can hope for lots of new content.

-flynn

[dragonmekill]

@LaoshRa Everyone gets SDK with it lol

[TheSpyChecker]

@LaoshRa i liked the old leveling system better, though ):

[DianaMod27]

@LaoshRa you can type "openserverbrowser" in the console and it will give you the server browser that you get in counter-strike, half-life, etc.

the downside to this is apparently that it doesn't show the difficulty level, but if you want to get a server running with friends, then i guess that won't be a problem.

[akiwahaha1]

@LaoshRa for your 'filter' problem, enable the console in the options menu, press ~, type 'openserverbrowser' and voila, you can set the filters.

[horakoeri]

@LaoshRa there are site's where you can dowload mod created by random people,those mods look good,but i can't download it <-(

[Scorp471]

@LaoshRa i think new campeigns will follow and since an update is a dedicated server browser, where you can choose a game.

:D

[artofwar420]

@LaoshRa \o/

[tylerdeath52]

lulz to this vid

[Bonzi77]

So AS used to be a UD mod? Awesome. XP

[DeathByFoodTray]

Isn't VALVe making a game called Alien Swarm? Because it seems to have the same kind of graphics and shit

[concter34]

@DeathByFoodTray Yea its free and comes out tommorow YAY

[cyborg34572]

@DeathByFoodTray unlocks tomorrow , for FREE!!. WOOO!!!. Valve rules

[xjai21]

@cyborg34572 do u just need to download the game or do u need to have another game for it?

[cyborg34572]

@xjai21 It used to be that way, but that was way back when this game was still a mod. Now its an actual stand-alone game. There is no statement in the games steam page that itl require other source games to be installed so i believe it doesnt. But they might have just forgotten to add that in the games steam page so nothing is for sure untill the game can be downloaded. In about 5 hours(for me)

[Masterkewl2]

@cyborg34572 I think they announced that Source SDK will be available for everyone from that day on?

[o0Lemon0o]

@DeathByFoodTray

This was the original mod for UT2004, Valve is making the stand alone Alien Swarm game based on this mod i believe.

[zombays]

Just wait when they mod the hell out of Alien Swarm by Valve when it come sout tomorrow for free. YOu'll have like like 20 guys and hundreds of aliens

[joebbi]

I wonder what LaoshRa will think when he finds his video got 21'000 views. :D

[FlyingAce1015]

valve is releasing a remake of this for free on steam this monday!

[Phantaloz]

As a guy who played this mod for about 2-3 years every week online, trying to beat all those maps on insane: THIS GAME IS AWESOME. And maaaan is it hard when you crank up the difficulty!

[dasWombat01]

The Source Engine port of this will be released on monday the 19th via STEAM:

store . steampowered . com / app / 630

It will be completely free of charge and comes with all the source code and modding tools.

Grab it while you can, boys!

[moriya2k2]

Looks like it would get boring fast.

[Kankaito]

this mod reminds me of Alien shooter.

[ArminMeiwes23]

hummmpf.... i don't like the camera

[xan1242]

I think this is based of Alien Breed,right?

[Venom957]

@xan1242 I believe so.

[Umyeah22]

@xan1242

wrong

[xan1242]

@Umyeah22 it is.did you ever see alien breed?

[gooeish]

Hy there! Could you tell me how this was recorded? The demorec leaves out the sound and anims.

[assissin1killer]

how to download

[adalwolf12]

u cant even dowqnlaod the game - . -

[adalwolf12]

why would they make a 2D up down mod from HL2...

[Lin538]

lol there is only 4 servers online and all is empty wtf? and why i get an error Aoprototype? somhing url

[2192productions]

this mod its dead online :/

[cowboybeepbop1]

hey are people willing to play this mod online im getting it right now

[TheShadowOfScarSup]

thought shadow hl2 saw

[cowboybeepbop1]

nope because it uses intel from ut to use the mods just go buy it dosnt cost much anymore

[za055]

I love this mod but i haven't seen anyone play it online

[123herecomesme]

isnt this a mod for hl2 too thats what it said for me

[LaoshRa]

alien swarm: infested, (kinda alien swarm 2) will be a hl2 mod. its not released yet though...

[Zeta368peep]

I think its a unreal tournament 2004 mod right now and via Source mod is alien Swarm infested which Im hopeing you can still plant turrets like in this 1

[cowboybeepbop1]

ya i cant wait till they release it

[SmerfTeam]

@LaoshRa It will be in 4 hours :D

[wacko992]

there was a team developing a version for hl2. but i think its dead.

[Ziggylata]

@123herecomesme this is better a bit than the hl2 one, not FULLY but it is

[iwikecheese]

hit me up on steam if anyone wants to play, my name is SuperRipped.

[cowboybeepbop1]

there are players right? i find that these games get really lonley when alone... (if its dead of course)

[vapperkills]

anoth called alien swarm infested is comeing out but its for half life 2 and it kicks ass and i have half life 2 oh yea

[cowboybeepbop1]

really were can you get it and is it even out yet?

[xCrispo]

how do you download it? cant find it xD

i have been on theyr page. but still dont find the downad

[Catmangamer]

Damn, i have never found a server with dudes playing, anyone wants to play?

Just Reply.

[cowboybeepbop1]

for the ut2004 mod id love to man!

[LaoshRa]

it IS ut2004, they just modded the hell out of it...

and its also 3D as you can see during the bullet time scene at 7:10. you get that camera spinin the bottom left corner whenever stimpacks are used. you can also watch people in 1st person while being a spectator.

many people complained about the weird view, and it takes a few games to get used to it. but as far as i experienced it, the teamplay benefits a lot from this because you have quite a good overview.

[videogamer500000000]

this dosent look a thing like ut2004

[Ostnizdasht206]

Thats what i was thinking.. lol

[gianhet]

it's even not in 3D -_-

[Weirdo927]

I'll ignore your weird grammar and just point out that it is 3D, only you're stuck with a top-view, thus it may seem like 2D to you.

[gianhet]

lol i'm not english, i'm french and still am a teen, and it really seems to be in 2d for me ^^.

Try the UT2 chaos evolution mod, this is really nice :)

[andrexinos]

PLAY NOW!!!

[andrexinos]

sinlge play sucks but i never played multiplayer it seems good

[andrexinos]

im ready to play this game who goes with me? respond me message me

[demoix]

i wanna go with you

[andrexinos]

ok tell me when and your nickname

[OatmealWatercooler]

so is this mod good?

[GameBoiBoi]

Hey, You guys still playing this. I'm part of the BCG group on Steam. I've been trying to get a group together to play this for a while. The largest we've managed to get together at once was only 6.

[RRhaegarr]

How come its view is up-down?

[thecoltster1]

is it single player too?

[MrBananaHun]

online multiplayer cooperative match

[videoGunZ]

you can play singleplayer too... but its bad! online is much more fun!

[Hourlyanime]

Now the creators released a commercial version of Killing Floor. This one is just a mod, but the commerical one has a new engine which means new guns, features, physics, graphics.

killingfloor411 . [ com ]

[deesies]

Different people. You're thinking of tripwire.

[Viterkim]

yeah but some from the old team joined tripwire :)

[fiskefyren]

weren't they also making this mod for half-life 2? i think i recall something about that.

[GameBoiBoi]

they cancelled it... T.T

[djantonv]

what version of alien swarm is that?

[LaoshRa]

as for the sequel of this (Alien Swarm: Infested, HL2 mod) i read a forum statement of a developer yesterday, confirming that the project isn't dead. still, they don't want to give any more details... theres a rumor that valve is stalling the release until left 4 dead has lost some populairty...

[JustAnotherGaian]

Where'd you see that? The Black Cat forums look pretty dead on the Dev's side.

[warhawk4ever]

Will this mod work on the Ps3 version?

[MiddZzY]

is it possible to have non original UT 2004 and to DL and play this?

[LaoshRa]

dont know what you mean with "non original ut 2004", if you got some cracked version you are probably still able to play it using hamachi or some other LAN emulating tool...

[andrexinos]

YES ITS POSIBLE

[Przeciwko]

Indeed, it's the greatest mod for UT 2004. Long live Alien Swarm.

[GameBoiBoi]

Actually I managed to finish this mission on normal difficulty with just Flynn.

[rraazze]

i used to play this all the time never could finish a single level was too damn hard but in a good way.

cant wait for the HL2 version to be released!

5 out of 5 from me

[MagicAccent]

The hl2 thingy has been scrapped.

Or so they say, nobody has heard from the developers since august 2007.

It makes me very :( ...

[rraazze]

really? aww damn that sucks oh well at least the UT2004 version still works

[MagicAccent]

Yeah, too bad there's never anybody online too play with.

[LaoshRa]

there are rumors they had to postpone the release due to left 4 dead or something, valve insisted on it... but its just a rumor, the developers ARE active but they dont give any hint :/

[MagicAccent]

Well, I truly hope they will release it. I would gladly pay to play that game, and it has quite a large community already(or atleast it used to have). All they have to do is release it.

[KmLordion]

this is not ut 2004 mod.... Its a hl2 mod omg nub... look on Steam at hl2 mods lol

[KmLordion]

sry i made a mistake :))

the same people who made alien swarm made alien swarm infested.... and alien swarm infested is hl2 mod SRRY

[andyman7897]

do u play with real people in this game?

[LaoshRa]

Lt. Williams is a bot - all others are human.

[SteveAkaDarktimes]

thanks for the video, whitout it i would never found this mod! Dl-ing now

[SteveAkaDarktimes]

jes. if there are servers and people...

[DudeWheresMyRifle]

OMG how do i play this someone tell me plz!

[LaoshRa]

i put some links in the description...

[tekkenboy95]

is this mod always birds view or can you change it

[LaoshRa]

you cannot change it by yourself.

however, theres one server with a more isometric perspective, but its a lot harder to hit anything there.

[LaoshRa]

dunno what times you play at, i still play it frequently. to me, theres about a 50% chance to see people playing when taking a look at the server browser. so yea, there are not too many people playing it. but you often meet people you already know and its a great community. technically you can win missions all alone, the real fun starts with 3 or more people. about 6 is already too much in my oppinion.

[dukenukemfool]

dude if this is the best mod ever why you dont play? seriously i play but nobodys online...

[MockingMadness]

Coolio yo. :) Btw, would there be anyway to make a similar mod of this for Unreal? If so, that'd be awesome. :D

[LaoshRa]

since nobody died in this video (which is rather rare to happen :D) i'm currently working on a "top 5 ways to die in alien swarm" movie. i will comment here when its done...

[MockingMadness]

After seeing some vids of this game, and being an avid player of Unreal since 2000, I know I'm going to love this, and, want it. Awesome vid of alien pwnage. :>

[LaoshRa]

added a link for the community pack. it provides all you need to play this mod online without downloading any extras, but obviously you still need to install ut2004 first.

[lagler222]

you can download this from stream rigth??

[sinpaking302]

when i try to load alien swarm it just closes or if i look for it in the Ut2004 mods it doesnt show up

[WhichDoctor1]

Try posting on the Black Cat Games forum. They are the developers of the mod and there are plenty of peaple who will be able to help with technical probs

[sinpaking302]

hey if i got the edition to ut2004 can i still play alien swarm?

[LaoshRa]

what do you mean by "still"? well, after buying ut2004 you can download this mod for free.

i've put the url in the description.

[sinpaking302]

where can i get UT2004?

[SobaniForce]

a shop

[tojiroh]

A bit crowded in there... :)

[POTVIN121]

is it alway's in the top vew mode or can i change it to 1st person

[SobaniForce]

its always in top down mode

[LaoshRa]

it's always on top. i know this seems a bit weird, but you quickly get used to it. and then, it provides more overview.

however, if you are dead or spectating (you cannot join during the missions, only inbetween) then you are able to enable up to four 1st-person-cameras to take a look from the marines' points of view.

[POTVIN121]

i noticed if it was always 1st person i would never notice the swarm that sneaks up behind me :]t's very unique as fas as mods go :p

[POTVIN121]

where can i download this mod ?
