At least the game was free so you didn't waste any cheddar on this huh?

From what I heard though, if it's not that, it's the horrible lag and awful screen shaking.

I get massive lag whenever I play as a medic, which is all the time.

well there was an update, so maybe those issues were fixed.

apparently there was an XP exploit I didn't know about and they patched it. :C

My team likes to play shoot the medic whenever I'm infected.

Guys to get parasites off whack repeatly while getting healed. It works faster and everything without wasting kits.

This actually does not work. Melee doesn't touch your team, or the parasite on them.

Chainsaw works wonders though.

Tesla Coil and Electrified Armor are your friends.

I got this done in ten minutes:

It's actually easier than I originally thought it would be. Keep at it.

I can make skyboxes, use decals to enhance textures, place dynamic lights, place player and alien spawns, and make hackable doors. I just need to improve my map geometry skills.

Also, to those who are considering making a map, start with one of the 3D Source games first. Alien Swarm is a bit more tedious to map for because you have to take the camera into account and make all the walls a precise height.

Hammer I heard is pretty easy and simple to use if you already familiar with level editors and stuff.
