I think it would be a great mod if everyone was on a vent server. The ability to play and speak with others makes all games about 200% better, if they're co-op.

If you haven't played AS, stop making stupid comments and download the UT version right now. It's one of my favorite mods, an excellent party game, and nothing at all like NS.
Hmm, I can see why the original poster thinks its an NS rip off <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
*gasp* it has marines and aliens it must be a rip off of NS.
For one, if your going to have infantry in space they're going to be marines as marines are simply fighting men on navy ships (at least thats what marines used to be, US Marines are more of a special forces unit and there are a few other exceptions).
For two unless its going to be human vs human or something your going to have aliens in space and they are going to probably be 'animal' like or something.
Thirdly, if there are other FPS RTS games (which Alien Swarm is not) you can't call them a rip off. The ideas been floated around a lot, NS is just the first successful mod/game I can think of that pulled it off. There will be others.
If your going to assume any game with the generic marine vs alien idea is a rip off of NS then you should realy review your game/movie history. NS isnt exactly the first to use the idea either.
Alien Swarm was originally a UT mod where the players controlled marines and killed AI controlled Aliens. I belive it was top down only as well, not first person. Hardly the same game play as NS.
Personally I can't wait to try AS out for Source. It looked fun for UT, and those screenshots are amazing.

That's actually being generous. NS is far from a "new concept" in gaming.
People need to learn to understand the difference between using a genre and ripping off a creative work.
While some may debate me on this.. NS really does not have a lot of creativity in it. In an artistic sense. Probably the only really unique thing about NS is the alien appearance, which isn't even that good (in my humble opinion).
Otherwise, it has marines, shotguns, machine guns, grenades, various... structures, space stations... yawn. All of this has been seen before and has been done more creatively than it is in NS.
That doesn't mean NS is bad, I like the game a lot and I understand a lot of hard work went into it, so I commend the devs on that.
But as an artistic/creative project, NS is lacking. (Let me make it clear that I understand NS isn't supposed to be an artistic project or neccesarily even very creative, that's my whole point...)
We played alien swarm for ages at this lan had a bit of trouble getting the team speak to work and we got kinda owned. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! No game of this proportion should be released on a free market with free thought. No game like this should mirror a modification of a well known game! No game should use free elements and ideas from free human knowledge EVER.
Meet Bob, Bob is a guy who has spent the last 3 years playing NS. He totally missed out on the Xbox..
Well, today Bob searches the internet.

Heh, that game does look alot like NS... they possibly got inspired by it... and thats a question that should be asked... But i don't belive that tthe actual marines are real people... And the only thing similar is the commander mode... looking through some screenshots (i think) you could see some rpg elements in the marines...
Though this game is eerly similar lets not blam it to hell?
By the way
the Warhammer 40k and starcraft/warcraft are similar... I mean orks? and their space marines look awfly alot like starcraft marines O.o
You should know that Warhammer 40K is a tabletop game from the early 80's, and thus it's StarCraft and WarCraft that are an awful lot like it, and not the other way around.
Many WH 40K-based PC games have been released, some prior to StarCraft, but they never had much success until Dawn of War.

Alien Swarm was cooperative, and hard... very hard... Me and a team of newbies litterally spent a whole day trying to complete the second level without any casualties. Everyone kept picking the flamethrower as their weapon, and since friendly fire was an integral part of the game, we kept killing eachother over and over and over. Took a while before we figured out that the flamethrower simply wasn't a good weapon for closequarter combat, and that the weaker, yet more precise assault rifles were much safer to use.
I really advise anyone with UT2K4 to download the original mod and give it a whirl. It really is quite a change from NS. It has RPG elements in it, sweet cooperative gameplay and a generally awesome finished style.
I for one do hope they keep the old difficulty levels. Made it so much more exciting. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

That was the best part of Alien Swarm when i played it.
well, i can tell you that from reading, and by Alien swarm's initial subtitle it is based on the book of "starship troopers", "bug hunt" was to be the title of the starship troopers movie had they not gotten the book referencing right from the author (or since i think he's dead the people who now own the property). "just another bug hunt" i'm assuming is a pun on this.
so.. when you play it, you'll see that the aliens arnt sneaky and cunning (as they can be in natural selection), but rather numberous and angry, not very like "alien" at all, and muchly like "starship troopers".
still, the concept of human vs aliens is hardly new.
