Re: Multiplayer Gaming
Oh btw, when it comes down to Alien Swarm, you might wanna change your game in some ways. For example, make reload bar appear below your marine. I have a list of the most important stuff right here, just for you. Rep me, or Alma raps you. :3

SIMPLE CHANGES FOR YOUR GAME
To make these commands automatic so you no longer have to enter them every time you start up the game, you must create an autoexec file in: C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\alien swarm\swarm\cfg
Create a file in notepad named "autoexec.cfg" (Include the quotation marks when you save it under saveas!) Place any console commands you want to be entered within that file. Alternatively, try placing them in the newmapsettings.cfg file in the cfg folder.
Client Side Commands
asw_realistic_death_chatter 1
asw_hear_from_marine 1
Enables the marines to chat with eachother during gameplay. For example, Wildcat and Wolfe keep track of who kills the most bugs, and they often comment on this with some friendly banter.
asw_auto_reload 0
Disables the auto reload.
asw_marine_labels_cursor_maxdist 1000
Always show health bars under marines. Good for medics.
mat_grain_scale_override 0
Removes the grain effect on the screen.
asw_camera_shake 0
Removes the camera shake effect when hit by an enemy.
asw_fast_reload_under_marine 1
Places a fast reload bar under your actual marine so you don't need to look in the corner to time your reload. Or rely on the poor cursor fast reload bar.
asw_flare_b
asw_flare_g
asw_flare_r
Change the flare colors.
asw_pick_stim_music
"This command allows you to pick a custom .mp3 or .wav to play during adrenaline. It even brings up a little menu to pick the file, like for when choosing sprays in other Source games." - Courtesy BobX Note: Problems have been reported. Warning: May disable your adrenaline music entirely
