Crusader writes "Black Cat Games has announced the release of Alien Swarm, their Unreal Tournament 2004 modification that features an overhead POV cooperative multiplayer battle against AI-driven aliens. There's torrents for both the trailer and the mod itself. Linux users are catered to as well: the ZIP package contains a shell script-based installer."

If you want a game like that, play co-op in pretty much any other FPS out there. The whole point of this is to be an overhead squad-based tactical action game.

Sort of like a real-time multiplayer X-Com.

Pretty cool

Downloaded and played through the tutorial and first campaign level. It's very well done. A little too easy to roast all of your team mates with the flamer though...did that the first time I got a hold of it.

The top down perspective makes things feel like there's something around the corner but you can't quite see far enough....but it's beeping at you..gah!

Actually, I found out there is some 1st perspective but only in spectator mode. You can watch up to four different close players. The camera sizes aren't big, but very cool. I will have a ball playing this!
