Left 4 Dead

Is AWESOME.

I am pissed off I didn't manage to take a picture of the burning tank (think hulk but smaller) as it pummelled me to death. Three other people and I spent over an hour, maybe hour and a half trying to beat subway on expert, then got a looping sound crash. We got ot the final room a few times, but the last time, there was a wtich up on the boardwalk so we didn't manage to get to the safe room

If you preorder it on Steam you can download the demo, and it's worth it (also it is $5 less).

My computer just makes minimum system requirements so I'm not sure it would work on mine. Which means I have to wait for the public demo before I'm allowed to see. I am jealous of those who can buy L4D without worrying if their money will be wasted.

I'm one of those crazy people who use demos to decide if I want a game or not. So i'll wait.

Killing zombies.

Not sure if there's anything more to it than that, but hell, if it Valve manage to make it as fun, it won't matter.

There are very very very few co-op games for the PC, and Left 4 Dead is a 4 person co-op game, which you can play by yourself, with random people and/or people on your steam friends list through the campaign. The only other FPS co-op game I know of is the Synergy mod for Half-Life 2.

I tried it, it's awesome, end of story......

Really looking forward to this game. I didn't realise you got the demo early if you pre-order, so I'll be waiting a little longer to try it

Ninja Dude · Nov 7, 2008

I'm rather interested in this game and I may get it for the 360. Now, is it just a co-op game on the same set amount of levels? Or are there going to be different maps to play on?

sirtommygunn · Nov 7, 2008

Different maps that do different things every time you play them. There is 4 right now I think.

Maniacal · Nov 7, 2008

Only two maps in the demo, and it is all co-op, even singleplayer (the Ai fills in for any charactor without a player). I look forward to a few or several months time once community maps start comming out. As while the zombie placement is randomized each time you play (after each time ther team dies too, so no memorising anything!) the same 2 levels over and over again get's repeptitive by yourself.

Maniacal · Nov 7, 2008

I died. Also we killed a wtich. She was at the top (just outside the window) of the stairs that lead into the generator room at the end of the 2nd level, luckily it was all 4 of us that were together, usually there is one idiot who attracts her on purpose or someone rushing ahead or the other two are dead.

Witches really aren't that tough.

Smoker killed me just as I closed the door, apparently he had been hiding in there for quite some time.

Okay, now I understand what people have said about odd textures, alt-tabbing fixes this. It happened to me twice now... only when you first load a map.

That purple stuff used to happen in CS:S too didn't it?

Having barely played that crap game, I don't know. It hasn't happened again, my graphics card was probably getting a bit hot (I really need to give it proper air conditioning and dust it off probably).

I think the demo has been released publicly today.

Izipo · Nov 11, 2008

Yep, dowloading it right now...
Warning : 3Gb demo !! :eek:

Only six days left for me, I hope it's worth the wait.

JtheJackal · Nov 11, 2008

I was very impressed with the game. Wonderfully detailed maps, and amazing zombie movie action.

Are you sure? I downloaded the demo in about 4 hours at 160kbs. I don't know if I can pre-load the full game yet or not, havn't tried.

Hammurabi II · Nov 11, 2008

just downloaded it, took less than an hour surprisingly! I was going at around 600-700 kbs.

Hammurabi II · Nov 12, 2008

and the demo is pretty fun...but it seems like it would get repetitive over time? :undecide:
