I ended up in a versus map of Dead Air while trying to do a campaign run with Netshark once, it was kind of nice to only have witches and normal infected.

@CivGeneral: It is, they reuse a number of things from Half-Life as well as adding their own. I really hope Garry adds it to GMOD.

No wonder I found a roll of paper towels from Counter Strike: Source in one of L4D's screenshots :lol:.

Screenshot from good olde wikipedia. Damn, the zombies look uglyer than HL2's zombies


Why do I have the sudden urge to get some L4D models lurking in garrysmod.org and have a bunch of TF2 characters fending off L4D zombies, or have Father Gregori the only survivor fending off L4D zombies in Garry's Mod :lol:.

Though I was not the only one with that idea.

There was discussions in various places that Garry may implement L4D mounting in Garry's Mod. Though right now, most of the L4D content are extracted as an addon format (I had to do this with other mods that I just want the content, such as Iron Grip: The Oppression).
 
Give me your steam ID so I can add you to my friends list and we can go romping together through fields and urban settings.
He's Coolio [NGC]. In the Steam thread, also is in the CFC Steam group.

I've played this game on the XBox 360. I can't say I've enjoyed it. The graphics aren't that good, multiplayer is awful, and the controls seem to be from 15 years ago. I've played games like GoW2, MoO:WaW, and Dead Rising(to add a zombie game). This isn't even a flash in the pan.

Am I missing a lot because I'm playing console or what? I don't understand the hype.

The basic controls in FPS games have changed little since DOOM (forward, backwards, strafeing left or right, use mouse to shoot, space to jump, crouching, possibly a running/walking button (which i don't think was in DOOM), reloading, mouse wheel or number keys to select weapons).

IIRC GoW2, Dead Rising (no idea what MoO:WaW is) are third person console shooters, designed specifically (dumbed down) for the console and it's crowd and definately different to L4D.

I have none of the problems you have with my PC version.
 
I might consider getting this game. How well will this game work on a Intel Core i7-920 2.67 GHz processor (Note It's a quad core processor that acts like it has eight processors :eek: ).

I've actually had great fun with the console version. I don't know why everyone is so bummed out about it. Just play with your friends, because the average person you get randomly paired with is usually an idiot, someone who doesn't have a mic, or a combination of both.

I don't know, but probably fine. Left 4 Dead's been pretty optimized.

You can handle TF2, so you can handle L4D.
 
First game on Advanced, I had the worst and most hilarious round ever.

It shall henceforth be known as the Comedy of Errors, or How NOT to play L4D.

We were playing No Mercy campaign, and in the first level, we did fine. Oh sure, a Witch got scared because we tried to avoid it and couldn't manage it, but nothing too serious.

Sewer level, god dammit. First, a witch was in the tunnel in our direct path, and we couldn't avoid it. We tried walking around it, and it attacked us. Then, when we got to the door part, a Tank came before we could pull the switch and killed two of us, and left me and another person with 40 health. We pulled the switch, and a Smoker got my last comrade. As I tried to save him, I got owned by 50 zombies attacking me, and we had to restart.

Next try, a Boomer owns us back in the Subway. We lose 50% health, all of us in the subsequent attack. We manage to get to the switch part, and then my ****** comrade from last round throws a Molotov and incapitates one of our teammates who had the last pipe bomb... We manage to get through and save him, and we get to the street and survive. Now we're going to the pawn shop, and we hear a witch. We manage to avoid her, but then the horde comes and almost kills us. Then my mouse glitches and shoots the car alarm somehow, and we rush to the safehouse. After the door closes but before the game ends, I shoot Louis's player in the head, by accident. It was hilarious.

Next level = WTH? Tank owns us near the beginning in the shop. We managed to scare the Witch because the ****** player shines a flashlight. We lose all our medpacks and we all have 50 health left. More boomers, more hunters. We manage to get to the safehouse regardless. Then, we get completely owned at the elevator level, first by a random tank which kills us all, then the ****** gets caught by a Smoker and we gotta save him and we all get killed in the process again. Third try was fine, and we got to the elevator.

After that, the final level. First, we get owned by a Boomer and a Hunter which kills us along with the horde of zombies. Next, someone is incaiptated from trying to kill the Witch in our direct path, but we save him. We subsequently get to use the radio, and hide in the closet. God dammit, the ****** player throws a Molotov and kills us in the closet. I shoot him in the spawn and revive him.

Next try, we hide in closet again. Then, Boomer blows up on us. A Smoker captures one of us, and we try to save him. We die in the attempt. Next try, we go onto a rooftop and try to wait it out. Smoker takes me and I get back to roof. Hunter rapes me, because everyone else except one fell down. And that one is the ****** who couldn't get to me. The rest die. We all shoot the ****** again in the spawn.

Final try, we hide in closet. We all get pipe bombs. We hold off hordes, and we kill all the tanks. When the helicopter came, I tried to throw a pipe bomb, and while I was trying to, another Hunter rapes me. At the same time, a Smoker takes Louis's player. He dies, but I survive to throw the pipe bomb. The rest of us get onto the helicopter, including the ******.

Last stats: Lowest Player Damage:

Me (Bill): 4058.
 
Here's a little tip from a crazy tripped out monk:

"In Ravenholm, you do well to be vigilant." - Father Grigori

Hopefully this can apply to L4D :p.
 
I miss Father Grifori, he'd kick soem zombie ass! The priest guy in L4D just tries to kill you by ringing theb ell and attracting hordes of zombies.

I love Churchguy! He's played by the same voice actor who did the Scout in TF2, and he did a great job.

It's sad, really. He let his friend in and he got infected. :(

So the Boston accent is also present in the churchguy? ;)
