Looks great. Lots of emphasis on Co-Op play which I like. Anyone else looking forward to this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Looking forward to the PS3 version. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really? when's it due out on ps3? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Next year some time apparently. I suppose it depends on the reception it gets on the 360 and PC though. |
||||||||
|

I love co-op multiplayer, so I probably owe it to myself to check this game out when it's released. Been following it off and on for the past year. I'm also looking forward to the next iteration of They Hunger, which is basically like Left4Dead for the the single-player FPS fans. |

demo's up on the xbox live marketplace. it's pretty fucking good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry to tell you this, but it's never gonna be out on ps3, it's been confirmed by Valve's big boss a couple of days ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
downloading the demo for PC now. If it's good I'll pre-purchase to save 5 bucks on steam. |
||||||||
|

it's class |

Fantastic game. I loved the demo, such incredible fun online even with complete strangers. When you're playing this with friends, it could well be the best thing ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
demo is alright graphics are suprisingly bad for a valve game |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's the HL2 engine. I'm sorry, I just can't shake the feeling that this should be a mod, not a full $50 game. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Its a multiplayer zombie game. I don't care if it looks like halflife 1. They would have to screw it up really bad to not get it right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
looks fine to me, i could be blind though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The game is too fast to worry about graphics. When 50 zombies jump out from a garage, the last thing i'm worrying about is the texture size and how nice the anistropic filtering is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha... well said. it's good fun and i look forward to purchasing it at the end of the month. like you said, if you play with a few mates this is the best thing ever. it's still fun with people you don't know but what i've found is they like to run around setting the car alarms off. my friends are far to clever to do that kinda shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed, should be a mod game for hl2, but we'l see when the game comes out |
||||||||
|

L4D is a pretty fun 'doom style' (tons of enemies) shoot-fest, but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of interesting tricks or twists in the gameplay. It's just "pick up gun", "shoot zombie", rinse+repeat. I mean, TF2 has a shit-ton more variety than that, and it's a $20 mod. That's all I'm saying. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'far TOO clever' you dumbfuck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Honestly, this is the first instances I have seen survival horror done well in multiplayer. Its quite innovating how they have done it, even though the actual shooting and such isn't quite new. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What I love about L4D (and indeed all Valve games) is the shooting and hitscans feel just right. Shoot someone in the head and they go down. End of discussion. I played Far Cry 2 recently and it felt like I had to shoot them a million times just to injure their leg. Anyway a few of us played the demo co-op last night on the hardest difficulty setting and it is an amazing experience. Absolutely impossible, but fun all the same :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Downloaded the demo... Co-Op is ok but what I'm more interested in is the 4v4 humans vs zombies vs. mode. I'll wait till some reviews come in before I make the purch |
||||||||
|
|

I've been waiting all year for this game, definitely will be purchasing it and playing it with friends! |

God damnit, I hate steam. I pre-ordered, thinking i'd save a bit of cash from getting it retail. I forgot that the GBP is as weak as the USD and to make matters worse, the fuckers taxed me. I ended up paying £37 for a game I could have got for £25 in a retail box from game.co.uk I am annoyed, but also quite happy as the game is good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, from what I've heard, Steam/Valve anally ravages anyone outside the US. Apparently, the poor Aussies have to pay $100 USD for games on steam. 100 fucking dollars, for no retail box/actual cd?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Played the demo all night Saturday... YES! more intense and fun than I could have ever imagined. Highly recommend this game to anyone that's enjoyed playing a FPS or watching a scary movie. The game has it all, and I've only played to first 2 areas that are inluded in the demo... I think steam is or is going to have a special now, Left 4 Dead and all the Half-Life mods together for $99.99 USD |
||||||||

IGN gave L4D a 9.0 rating and editor's choice. I don't doubt that it's a great game, but I'm going to wait for steam to put the game on sale, which they always do after a few months. |
||||||||
|

|

oh and cheers to valve for giving us what appears to be another great gaming experience. :] |
||||||||

I'm desperate to play this but my landlord supplied router won't let the 360 through wirelessly no matter what we do. Is there any point in getting it without an internet connection? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i'm disappointed. It looks like even the vs. mode requires you to play through the campaign and kill a bunch of AI zombies. Doubt I'll play this one after all :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Um. You could be a zombie in the verses mode, instead of having to kill them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah but there's no deathmatch or anything... it just strategically places you throughout the campaign (as 1 of 4 zombie leaders, I gather). I dunno, lots of people like FPS co-op gameplay but I feel it's too rushed. I like taking my time in shooter campaigns, not hurrying to the checkpoint. For real co-op give me a game like WoW or Diablo 3. |
||||||||

or some old school Toejam and Earl, yeaah |

it's brilliant. it's like gauntlet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

The best game i've played in the last 3 years, without question. As a co-op experience, it is near-perfect. |

I played the 360 version but the game is too spastic for 30fps and analog sticks, I'll have to wait until I can get a PC that can run it at 60fps with high detail. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yesss!!! I'm getting for 360 on christmas from my x-boyfriend. I can't wait.... |

The absolute best part of L4D is the RAGE QUITS. If you want the most fun from this game, I heartily recommend waiting for some kid to show up and start mouthing off "omg noobs!" or "wtf team sux" etc... Now, depending on the level you're on, wait until you get to a scene just before a major horde event, flick the switch and then shoot him in the back of the head. Not only will he become so mad that he turns into a real-life tank, the horde will be attracted to him so you can pick them off all in one place. Of course, don't revive him if he does manage to survive. |
||||||||

My favourite RAGE QUIT happened yesterday. One guy came on, spouting the same usual crap I posted above and of course, it wasn't long before he died. I asked if he was going to RAGE QUIT to which he simply replied "no" 5 minutes later, he spawns in a closet and I rescue him. Immediately afterwards, he screams "NOT BEFORE I KILL YOU MOTHERFUCKER" and limps after me, firing his uzi at me. Of course, during this time, I had already accumulated some fine armory and set him on fire. When he dropped to the floor, I did the kind thing and put a shotgun to his face. He left immediately afterwards, but not before calling me a cunt. I love this game. |

People like that are the reason I stopped playing online shooters. Probably the saddest cunts I've ever known. Glad you're finding a use for them. |

it's great. it's like playing a movie. best game i've played in ages. i believe that they're going to be releasing a load of add ons on xbox live which i'm looking forward to. lemme know if you're on xbox live! |
||||||||

I just got my xbox, so i don't have xbox live yet, cause my modem is fucked up and i can't connect my router... i've just been playing to play...but on a happier note i got l4d last nite, and will be playing it tonite. |

cool. well make sure to write your thoughts in this thread. |

this game is fantastic. i have been playing vs. a lot lately and getting pretty good as the infected. it reminds me a little of the splinter cell vs, in that one team has guns, one doesn't but has special abilities and stealth as their advantage. i wasn't sure at first about the vs format, either. the last game i knew to try spawning a player into a campaign as a baddie was the original perfect dark, and i didn't think it worked that well (of course that was split screen, local play only). it does work rather well in this game and seems pretty thought out. rather than being tacked on i'd say the game is designed around it. playing the single player mode is like playing single player in unreal or star wars battlefront, it exists but multiplayer is obviously the focus. |

I haven't had this much fun playing a multiplayer game since Goldeneye on the 64. (I never played halo). Has anyone got the zombie genocidest achievement yet? Shame on you if you do. |

DLC has been confirmed. 21st April. New 'Survival' mode ...like Horde on GOW2 + Nazi Zombies on COD: W@W. Should be ace. I <3 Horde. Also, Dead Air and Death Toll campaigns in Versus mode have been confirmed. Shame about no new campaigns. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It has a new level, I think its only a survival mode map tho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, the lighthouse is the only new map, and it's for survival mode. do you guys play on 360 or pc? |
