I've downloaded it and it looks ossim but it won't work. >:( After opening the ports required by Steam I could get into a room without the game closing, but then it closed when I tried to start the game. :/

I like it but I usually can't play it because of my internet going in and out now. :C

I love the game. Favorite set up is Jaeger with Vindicator, Rail Rifle/Shotgun, and Freeze Grenades. I sometimes play as medic, depneding on wether or not Buizel456 is in the mood or not. Also started looking into survival maps and non-official campaigns.

HUGH TIP: Have a medic or personal healing kit, that or you're screwed.

Also, Beware of the dreaded Lag, It can kill you at the most inconvenient times.

Another heads-up by me: Be aware when playing with total strangers in public. They sometimes tend to turn on you and team-kill everyone outta fun. This is the reason I play games like these only with friends.

No one here has mentioned that you can unlock a Parasite Hat for Team Fortress 2 by unlocking the 'Hat Trick' achievement (Complete 2 co-op missions online). Like others say, however, my PC lags a lot unlike TF2 & GMod when I try to play it, so I might as well wait until the trading system is introduced, ):

If you can play TF2 and GMod, i'm sure you should be able to play AS.
Might I recommend lowering the quality of the game in settings and trying that out?
