Play Alien Swarm in first person: guide and video

[BobTD]

I think the first person view will become more popular in the hardcore following. I think it makes avoiding friendly fire and covering your fire lanes a little easier, and Im not sure but I think you can fire over a crouching marine, (they can take a knee) and the first person view will make this easier to coordinate.

Some disadvantages to this might include less situational awareness, including when creatures drop in front of your screen to indicate coming from above like in the elevator ride.

But honestly, Im shocked that people figured this out so fast. lol, its usually the hardcore that dig this up and use it secretly for a time before its well known... my brother just laughed at me for implying I wasnt hardcore when it comes to gaming....
