Anyone wanna do some speedruns? Pref you know the maps, we've done the first 4, doing the last 3 now. Steam "Aedus" if you wanna join

What time did you get on Rydberg Reactor (the fourth level)?
We got 3min 28secs and got the speedrun achievement, even though it says 3min 10secs in the description.

On a side note the only thing with a mic I have is my webcam, could I use that?

Urgh, this game does my head in some times.

In half an hour today, 3 games i joined i got to spec the second half of the game while dead, 2 games i was kicked without being told why in the lobby, 2 games just had some retard trying to farm exp by killing things, completely missing the fact completing levels gets you more, 2 games the ****ing host left after things were going ok just because he died, kicking you to menu without any exp gain, then finally i get a decent looking game and my gf feels ill ><

Only made worse by the fact so many people seem to be using local hosting and have high pings and it takes FOREVER to load!

I do wish the 'Medic' button would be consistant.... why does it randomly seem to change between 2, 3 and 4?

BECAUSE IT'S IF THE 2ND 3RD OR 4TH CPERSON IS MEDIC

The custom map called "Survive!" is brilliant, download it if you see it.

Has anyone noticed you sometimes get meleed by aliens when they are about 10 feet away even though there is seemingly no lag.

in console type bind mwheeldown "cl_emote 0"

That means i have mwheeldown as my call medic. Replace mwheeldown with your button of choosing (Q maybe if you use mouse wheel for changing weps)

"cl_emote 1" is for ammo if you need that.

I had a couple of freezes earlier which were worrying. Have lowered everything to medium now though so will see how it goes.
