Does the game scale in difficulty to more players?

Played with two mates and one of them almost always died early on after friendly firing us to about half health. So i'm wondering if it the game is more difficult this way or if it doesn't matter that he dies early?

Otherwise i'm liking it. It's been ages since i played this as a ut2k4 mod. Now to wait for more campaigns either official or custom.

if different classes is only thing common with TF2, this game has something in common with FEW HUNDRED other games.

L4D is 4 vs. 4, this is 4 coop against AI.

Can I haz the cookie now?

And what comes to guns, those have been there since dawn of the genre.
Uhh... Really..?

Actually, this is more fitting:

oops so sorry
totally unique game concept

the point is that you can fucking compare every game to every other game EVER with such wide, general criteria.

team game... up to 4 player co-op? goal-orientated? progression through increasingly-difficult challenges?

MY MY WHAT THE FUCK THIS GAME JUST COPIED FIFA 2008 LEAGUE MODE!

discuss the fucking game and quit with the pointless, asinine, contribute-nothing 'comparisons', sherlock.

having never played FIFA 2008 i wouldn't know about that.
but generally speaking sports games don't involve killing hordes of whatever
so your point is flawed. you need to take some Exlax so you are so fucking constipated it is fucking up your thinking

and we are discussing the game and how contains many elements of several recent valve releases.

those elements being 'NONE AT ALL' except for the source-engine sound samples...

drawing parallels between alien swarm and tf2/l4d2 is redefining the meaning of the word 'tenuous'.

cf. 'pointless'.

Well, floppy sent me an invite last night, but i declined as I felt like I should probably practice a bit before putting other player's "lives" at risk...lol. Good thing, cuz I lost our medic fairly early on and we all got ambushed in a hallway as we just about simultaneously ran out of ammo...lmao. It's fun though. I think I will practice some more.

The class and leveling layout is far more similar to Killing Floor than anything else.

just because YOU can't see the parallels doesn't mean you get to bully people who do. and using a thesaurus with every post can't hide your vacuous nature

there are parallels. Do they matter? No.

Saying that Alien Swarm is like TF2 because it has classes is ridiculous. Why don't you compare it to virtually every other shooter game.

Wait a second, 4 player co-op survival? Left 4 Dead is the only other game ever to do that! Call the Plagiarism Police!

Making those comparisons simply makes you look like you've only ever played valve games.

the more and more i think about it... the more parallels i see between alien swarm and WORLD OF WARCRAFT

they both have classes... you have to party-up to kill fantastical monsters... team-work and cooperation is key, often with voice-communication... your specific kit-loadout and inventory is very important... you LEVEL UP... as you LEVEL UP you get more and more powerful gear that can kill harder enemies easier... you eventually unlock 'heroic' insane difficulty modes... there are healers... there are heavy-weapon tanks... there are high-dps snipers ala rogues... there are staged-boss fights that are focal points of the game-experience... they will keep on adding on additional content in the forms of more 'expansion pack' DLC...

WHAT THE FUCK WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST CALL IT WORLD OF ALIENCRAFT?!? SO MANY PARALLELS I AM GOING BLIIIIIND

also, PONG called. they want their mouse-based control system back, valve, you fucking PLAGIARIST CROOKS!

Same.

I figured I wanted the achievements for the earlier weapons anyways, so why not reset.
