That One Thing
The corridor where the swarm pours in from both ends and your medic is the only reason anyone makes the extraction.
Lambda Wars is a free standalone real-time strategy game for Steam that began as an Alien Swarm mod. Set in the Half-Life universe, it lets you command Combine or Resistance forces in skirmish and multiplayer battles on the Source engine.
This edition installs it through Steam as its own free game, so it does not need Alien Swarm installed. Credit goes to the Lambda Wars development team.
