So recently Valve announced Alien Swarm, to be released this coming Monday. Now it says free, but this time there is no catch, the game in it's entirety is free.

Nice, at least if it sucks like Portal then it's free. Of course it probably won't, it looks really good.
Yeah, it does look really good/fun. The original mod for UT 2k4 was fun as hell, then Valve hired Blackcat Games into their studio and they've been working on this very quietly for apparently 2 years. *Fixed release date, the 19th is Monday, not Tuesday*
I played the mod on UT2k4 when I was younger. And loathed it. But hopefully, this will be an improvement on that so I'll give it a shot
"Okay guys, we got a little mixed up with the years, and now we have to create an entire game using only the SDK in three days. GO."
I loves it a lot. Working on the first map of an I don't know how long campaign, made good progress between yesterday and today. Never used Hammer before, but I'm learning pretty quickly I'd like to think.
