Play Alien Swarm in first person: guide and video

[Diligence109]

I tried it out - the game is definitely not intended for it, but it works! I found it incredibly difficult to play - not having the awareness of your surroundings and having the ability to move fluidly/strafe fire easily taken away made the game HELLA difficult!

Not to mention little interesting bugs - like you have to aim with your laser cause the targeting reticle/cursor is a little higher than where you actually shoot XD Also, none of the levels have ceilings. The environments look pretttttyyyyy strange from first person XD

Not to mention the top down view is what defines this game and gives it it's character... as has been mentioned in this thread already. It's a fun little thing to play around with nice that the devs left little test features like that open in the final release version. I'm sure there are tons of other tweaks you can do to the game.

Haven't tried it yet. I keep getting invited to BFBC2 games and every time someone wants to play alien swarm...I'm either not available or in another game.

Gonna try to try it out tomorrow on single player.

Same here Linux. I finally played it the other night solo. Since no one else was on I figured I'd try it... it's pretty awesome.
