There's clearly going to be a lot of messing around to be done with Alien Swarm and its SDK, but one thing that can be messed about with immediately is the perspective. PCG spotted that you can play the game in first-person by enabling the dev console in the options and then typing:

I attempted a button toggle for these with an alias command, didn't seem to work, so I've set up as

bind "p" "sv_cheats 1; firstperson; asw_hide_marine; asw_controls 0"

bind "o" "sv_cheats 1; thirdperson; asw_hide_marine; asw_controls 1"

It doesn't work on multiplayer servers apparently.
