(In Deathmatch, both DM Deima Surface Bridge and DM Residential share the respective mission icons of the Jacob's Rest campaign missions which they are based on.)įor most campaigns, each campaign has the same 'campaign icon' as the first mission icon of the campaign. There are, in total, forty-five cooperative missions.Įach mission has a mission icon (a screenshot of some part of the mission which uniquely identifies the mission) which appears in Mission Selection for the campaign, Game Settings for starting a game, and during the loading screen (assuming the console command 'rd_show_mission_icon_loading 1' has been activated), and is identical in each appearance (including for each mission of the Deathmatch campaign), without exception. As with the game, the code will be available free of charge.ALIEN SWARM REACTIVE DROP LOGGING OBSERVATIONS With the release of Alien Swarm, Valve will also be offering the game's complete code and mod tools to the development community.
