Found some good tips on Steam forums, to implement: create a notepad file and include the following commands (save as "autoexec.cfg"). Then place in C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\alien swarm\swarm\cfg -- Be sure to include the "" when saving the text file so it converts to CFG.
This will auto-load the below settings for every game - saving you from entering it manually in the console each game.
------
asw_fast_reload_under_marine 1
(Places a fast reload bar under your actual marine so you don't need to look in the corner to time your reload. Or rely on the poor cursor fast reload bar.)
asw_marine_labels_cursor_maxdist 1000
(Always show health bars under marines. Good for medics) (I reckon good for everyone to know who's hurting)
You can enable first person with the below by pressing "`" (you will need to enable the developer console in your keyboard settings first). Looks like this doesn't work with the above CFG file and can only be done in game. I reckon not practical for team play but hella fun when you're practicing off-line!

Oh yes, I also realised if you reload to early you forfeit the ammo in your clip!
