I already started downloading it, I'm not sure if it is done though since I don't open steam all that often.

EDIT: never mind, i remember I tries to download it but every time the steam servers were too busy. Just finished downloading it, will try it out later.

That's the only place you can download it. It's a Valve game.

I played the offline "training" or w/e and it seems like an interesting game. Probably more fun with friends than with AI's that die lol.

Doesn't it use the source engine? I'm tempted to get it but I don't think I would play it much, just like Battlefield Heroes that I deleted after weeks of not playing.

Yes it does, and the SDK is free for download as well. This is a fully mod-able game, totally open source.

I'm going to be looking into the SDK tomorrow. To tired tonight. I need a project.

Edit: I popped into the SDK for a quick peek... Its quite a bit different from UE games from what I could tell in the 20 seconds I looked at it. Tutorial time tomorrow lol.

I already played coop with mister this morning, it was pretty fun. I cant wait for user created campaigns to come out though. Anyone wanna try making one as a headshot community project?

yup we did, too bad i died in the 3rd campaing but is heaps funny those lil soldiers and xploting aliens! i love the melee attacks, i thinkg if we could do something like team up for flag capture mode... since is a free source game...

i think devs come in here..!

QFT. There's plenty of voodoo people that churn out great stuff with steam.
