Introduction
The Telic Campaign is an unofficial expansion pack for the Unreal Tournament 2004 award winning total conversion, Alien Swarm. In Alien Swarm, you control a squad of space marines through dangerous missions agaisnt hordes of hostile aliens. Alien Swarm isn't just another bug hunt, in order to succeed you will need to command your soldiers strategically and make use of each marine's special ability and equipment to achieve different objectives throughout the mission. Alien Swarm supports single player or multiplayer cooperative mode with up to 8 players. If you haven't played it yet, download it now and connect to a server or add it to your next LAN party.
The Telic Expansion Pack builds upon this extremely fun gameplay by bringing eight new, unique missions in the form of a complete campaign.
