Install Alien Swarm - SDK. You don't need Alien Swarm for it. The content is being downloaded with Alien Swarm - SDK along with other necessary files.

If you need a guide for how to set it up for Lambda Wars, proceed here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1366
Mr. Darkness: fucking game
Sandern: yeah, game sucks
Mr. Darkness: ya, the devs must be some total twats
Mr. Darkness: Who even names a game like that
Mr. Darkness: "Lambda Wars"
Mr. Darkness: fucking pathetic
Mr. Darkness: right?
Sandern: yes

Afaik it will install Alien Swarm as part of the SDK. Of course we could include the sdk files with the game, but then we would need to request an App ID for that, while it would basically be a duplicate of the Alien Swarm SDK files. It's also less than a minute too download on a decent connection :)
