I thought I'd pass this on because I know there are some of you out there that will be into this :)

Hmm...I would really like to try it, but I dont think I have enough RAM to make it work smoothly.

Wait, Team Fortress 2 owners get a new hat when playing this? *CLICK CLICK CLICK!*

EDIT: Nevermind. Seems that Im missing more than just a RAM to get this baby to work

[_r.u.s.s.]

wasn't this a free unreal tournament mod like a several years ago? o_O

anyways, looks cool indeed

[Lulu_Jane]

Yeah it was, and Valve ended up hiring the guys who made it apparently.

If anyone hosts an abandonia group in Alien Swarm, then count me in pls!

do i need to have steam on my computer to play this?

No, you don't really need Steam, google around, there are several sites that explain how to do it.
You even can launch a so called 'private' server for multiplay .....

Google is your friend :sneaky:
