Left 4 Dead

[Guitar Woman]

Despite some stupid stupid things that have been done with game retail (dead demo after the game comes out? What the hell, guys.), this is shaping up to actually look really awesome. I AM EXPECTING YOU FAGGOTS TO ALL BE PLAYING THIS BY TOMORROW.

I love the loading screen, also.

[Guitar Woman]

So I played it. It reminds me a lot of Zombie Master, without the Zombie Master and a hell of a lot less shitty.

I wish the demo were longer than 3 seconds and that the servers didn't suck. :\

[OxBlood]

See, that happens when I get fed up with video games for 2 days and watch a certain anime whose main character is a certain someone´s Sig...gotta download it later on.

Top 10 things which make L4D rock:
1. Zombie physics/animation blending.
2. A.I. Director.
3. Accurate, powerful weapons.
4. Dynamic music.
5. Mechanics to encourage team play (smokers/hunters will almost certainly take down anyone that goes rouge).
6. Automatic voice commands ("Weapons here!")
7. The way pipe bombs attract zombies.
8. Tank battles.
9. Perfect melee combat.
10. Level design.

[LordSappington]

My only real complaint is lack of weapons. It's pretty much just the standard 'Pistol, pistols akimbo, uzi, shotgun, assault rifle, bombs' fare. It needs a large array of gun, preferably real, or otherwise.

[Guitar Woman]

It's a demo with two levels that barely last 5 minutes put together. Were you expecting them to reveal their ENTIRE ARSENAL in that time?

[pac-man]

The demo is fun. I also hope the full version has a wider arsenal.

[OxBlood]

Okay, so I played the demo (360, green blood for Germany - yay) 4 times now, with two buddies on advanced. It´s more or less fun but I don´t think it´s worth whatever it may cost (50 $ over at your places, around 60 € over here I´d presume).
The weapons don´t have any good feel to them, apart from the shotgun and the models look really bad in my opinion. What I DO like is the AI-Director and the standart enemies, turns out the not only come running at you ALL the time but shuffle around and stare at walls. Earns them 40% Zombieness.

All in all I´d say it´s an okay game but nothing especially great worth waiting for. On the consoles that is. The PC Version should cost about half of what the console version costs and then it´s a different story already.

But I guess I´ll spend my bucks for the last remnant or something.

[pac-man]

If the game is of sufficient length it would merit a purchase. I'll wait for reviews, but it's certainly a fun game, especially with a group.

[Guitar Woman]

The thing that's going to fuck over the Xbox version is lack of user-created content. I'm especially excited to see what kind of custom maps are going to show up after everyone gets bored with the standard ones.

[pac-man]

Good point.

[Schimid]

Played this with three friends last night. Mindblowing.

We like Advanced difficulty the best, it feels rewarding without being utterly impossible. Expert is still fun, but Advanced just feels like "story mode" and expert is more like an individual challenge in itself. We tried to beat the second map on expert and it took us six tries, and on the sixth we got all the way to the minigun and the witch was there, meaning you HAD to startle her. We tried a strategy to beat her and, um, it didn't work, and the witch is basically a OHK on expert >:

It's really fun to develop strategies and ways to approach the levels--at the beginning of the first map, me and a buddy would drop down the glass ceiling portion while our two friends went down the steps and we absolutely flanked them. Another time we were fighting against a tank in the subways and decided to close ourselves into two identical rooms, two to a room, and shoot outside the window at the tank. It was hilarious, he couldn't get in.

It's really fun to close people out of the saferoom and see how many tries it takes them to get in. There were a few times where I ran to the safe room and my buddies stayed back to fight a tank, so I stole everyone's health and wouldn't let them in.

I only play as Bill, by the way.

EDIT - I also hear playing as a hunter is CRAZY FUN. I play the Spy in TF2, so this'll be great.

This happened to me the first time I played. Me and the black guy went down fighting the last horde brought on by the car alarm on the first level, and Francis ran into the safe room, locked the door, took all our health for the next level, and waited for us to die.

It was awesome.

[OxBlood]

That´s not really the purpose of the whole affair, now is it? ;)

[Phoenix Gamma]

Just finished downloading and playing it. Bill's so awesome.

I hate zombie shit because it's been done to death (hurrrr) but after watching Shaun of the Dead I was in the mood to blow shit up.

I kinda hate how you can only have one Health Pack at a time, and during one playthrough I decided to blindly charge in with a shotgun because Normal is too easy. I found myself backtracking to the start of the subway chapter to take leftover medkits. I'll try Advanced later. Hopefully that will require a little more thinking.

Also, some 12 year old shmuck was ordering us around. Eventually I ran off on my own in spite of him. He asked "where's the hobo guy?" and I immediately left the game. Fuck that kid. I'm Bill the Badass, and I'll wreck you.

[MattJack]

After playing this with my brother last night I'm def buying it now.

World At War < L4d

[pac-man]

The demo is definitely better on advanced.

[MetalMilitia]

Fags. Play on expert. There used to be an "Impossible" setting too which was great but no servers seem to be running it after an update - it may have been removed.

[Dimnos]

Comes out Monday right?

[Schimid]

Expert can't be done unless the four people are working as a unit, not just random internet assholes.

I wonder how bad impossible was, jeez.

[MarioRPG]

I played it and I love it. :D
I put it on expert.
Quote: "Who the fuck chose expert"

[Phoenix Gamma]

I dunno, Advanced was pretty easy too. We plowed through our first time, and on the second, we still had a pretty easy time until everyone quit and I was stuck with the AI, which didn't do jackshit.

[Emu]

Is this a Steam-only release or is there going to be a retail version?

Just curious cuz I have shitty internet :(

[Guitar Woman]

I'm hoping something along the same lines, for the same reason, and since there's a DVD case included in the BUY IT NOVEMBER 17TH thing at the end of the demo there's probably going to be a physical release.

[Emu]

I played the demo for all of five minutes and when it wasn't choppy or frozen I was having a blast.

Also: GW, why does that screencap link to ArrowX's photobucket? :lol

[Guitar Woman]

I'm not him, too, if that's what you're thinking

[Emu]

I was worried :)

[Microshock]

Me and 3 of my friends were at the subway part of the level and the witch is sitting right fucking there in the train you have to walk thru, and you have to go thru there since its the only way.

But we just sniped her...and that's it, another time , we were going up to the room with the machine gun and the tank was sitting right there on top of the staircase.

Really crazy stuff sometimes, it's already bought.

[Dimnos]

Does this have 2 player co-op on one xbox? Or can you only do multi player over xbox live? Anyone know?

[darkvare]

well i just played the demo and it said it had split screen this is xbox version i'm talking about. is a nice game, i found annoying the fact that zombies appear behind me when i just cleaned the room upstairs but oh well

[Schimid]

Versus mode is fucking great.

Valve kept it real and don't require the team to get to the end--because, honestly, it's pretty difficult to do so. Infected spawn quickly and the odds seem stacked in their favor.

Boomers and Smokers are my favorites (which is funny, because i thought i'd love being a hunter), but I still haven't played as a Tank.

Three friends and I are gonna play through it on Thursday night, can't wait for it.

[MattJack]

Played with three of my buddies last night. Can't beat the first level on hard(advanced? expert? whichever is hardest) right now, but fuc* if it wasn't fun trying.

In versus mode I love being the Boomer. It just feels so good when you throw up on somebody and then run away.

[LordSappington]

I love being a dick in this game. I got three guys online to play with me, and when we ehar the witch crying we start to carefully aim our shots, and we finally see her in a hallway. Right as they sneak past her, I hit her in the face with a molotov, and ran right past them. So they got raped by a flaming witch, and I got off scot free.

[MattJack]

What's your steam account so that I know not to play with you.

I <3 being the Boomer so much!! Just so satisfying to throw up on people multiple times ;_;

[timrpgland]

I just bought this yesterday but for 360. Let's get some coop going on Live hey??

Tag: KefkaGrim

[LordSappington]

My LIVE account is LordSappington (big surprise), but I overheated my 360 and I've been slacking off in getting it fixed. I'll get it fixed soon, though; I'll need it for Christmas, so it can distract my poser emo lesbian cousin.
God I hate her.

[OxBlood]

A poser emo lesbian cousin? I thought those were illegal.

[MetalMilitia]

If anyone is planning on going for the Akimbo Assassin achievement remember not to use any pipe bombs or Molotovs as they count as weapons too apparently. :(

[LordSappington]

A poser emo lesbian cousin? I thought those were illegal.
Not illegal enough. :rollseyes

[Nick]

I bought this game. Versus mode is awesome.

[LordSappington]

The only problem with versus mode is, while the human survivors are devastatingly powerful, once one of them dies, that's the end. Normally for us, this was about five minutes in. So I think that the survivors should at least have the game mode opportunity to have a few extra lives.

[Nick]

The team I had was just awesome, we were able to stop the survivors easily, while still being able to keep them at bay. I was really luck to have been grouped together with such good players.

[LordSappington]

At about the fifth time I was a survivor, I just hid in a closet and held still. Apparently they couldn't see me, because I saw the human silhouettes way off in the distance get raped, then when they figured out I was hiding in the beginning, I ran out of the closet onto a roof and jumped to my doom.
My friends are way too serious about that game.

[Schimid]

I fucking hate this game now.

A few friends and I beat the whole thing on Advanced, so I've been playing a lot of versus lately. And it's a fucking mess.

Sometimes there's lag. Sometimes there's Expert difficulty, which you might as well not even bother trying. Sometimes there's an asshole that turns cheats on. Sometimes your entire team is comprised of fuckwits while the other team is strikingly competent, etc. etc.

I don't get it. By simple probabilities, I should get a good game SOMEWHERE and all I'm getting is pile upon pile of horse shit.

[Guitar Woman]

For extra fun, get the console to spawn thousands of zombies per mob as opposed to the standard 30!

[OxBlood]

I don't get it. By simple probabilities, I should get a good game SOMEWHERE and all I'm getting is pile upon pile of horse shit.

I could fix that for you if you want.
Don´t play Multiplayergames. There. All done.
Seriously, Mulitplayer sucks big time, if you play it with random people. No secret, I know, but it can´t be stressed enough.

[MetalMilitia]

Join a good steam group and play on their servers. I play on the PC Gamer UK steam group servers and more often than not everyone is really cool. Also when I play with good people I'll add them to my friends list.

Edit: Someone could even set up an I-Mockery group server if they have some spare cash floating about.

that one is funny too

[MetalMilitia]

Had a really good game tonight. Played Dead Air on expert which took about three and a half hours to complete (even then we needed to knock it down to Advanced after using ~14 restarts on the final showdown). So much fun though. We had a really elaborate plan for the showdown which worked - sort of - but we kept getting killed by the tank.

[Schimid]

Boy, do I have some horror stories for you guys.

So in my search for a single decent random versus game, I came across a team that was strangely competent. Even on Expert mode, me and my two human comrades were escorting our AI Francis with incredible efficiency, making it so far as the second staircase without a scratch. 100 health all around.

...Until, like awaking from a dream, Francis is handed off to JohnnyComeLately53, realizes he has the shotty instead of the uzi (the horror) and subsequently retreats back up the previous staircase without telling anyone. He's immediately smoked and our Louis diligently runs back up the steps to rescue him--and Louis is smoked. This leaves the Zoey and I to the mercy of a Boomer that has suddenly veered around the corner. He vomits on both of us and a hunter pounces me while Zoey tries to fight off the impending horde. Needless to say, we die, and I quit.

THEN.

THEN.

Then I'm on ANOTHER server, this time with another team of dimwits. We make our way down the first staircase and are knocked around a bit--expert mode again. Our human Francis is knocked onto his back and I dutifully run over him to pick him up. On my way over, I spot a Boomer coming our way from the other room. I drop Francis and melee the Boomer...he stumbles backward, incapacitated for the moment. I steady my shotgun for the killing blow after he's done stumbling. I wait. I wait.

Well Francis must not have known what the hell I was doing, as he made it a point to empty an entire pistol clip into the Boomer before he was done stumbling. Needless to say, we're both splashed and I leave yet another team to die.

Why don't I fit in?

EDIT - I forgot to mention the only thing keeping me from hating this game is Francis, who, I don't know if you've noticed, hates fucking everything.

Subways, bridges, zombies, elevators, hospitals, vans, everything.

I sincerely think there's a randomized line of dialogue specifically coded for Francis to say he hates the subject of the previous sentence. It's great and I love him.

[MattJack]

I feel your pain ;_;

I don't play versus with people who aren't my friends for that same reason.

This game is quite fun though.

[Schimid]

I was playing with some friends tonight on Blood Harvest, Versus mode. I don't know who to trust anymore.

We had a bad start--the other team got a tank on the first level and we didn't, so they got a 4x multiplier while we got nothing. We did better the following rounds, slowly closing the gap, until the final round.

First off, everyone but me forgets their health packs. For the finale.

The real problem came when my team happened upon a fork in the road: on the left was a fucking giant stack of hay, completely unguarded and vulnerable to attack. Sure, it looks like fun to climb, but it just LOOKS menacing. Seriously. It's huge, teams could easily be divided into separate sides, etc. etc. To the right is the infamous barn, one of the best Survivor checkpoints in the game, a place where the infected can only come from three directions. This barn is covered on all sides. Making it to this barn is like winning the game. Seriously. This barn is the fucking barn to end all barns. This barn is the new Garden of fucking Eden.

Instinctively, I ran to the barn. I will give you three guesses as to what my team chose.

[MetalMilitia]

I think one of your main problems is that you're not shouting at your team enough through a microphone. It's impossible to get a good game going without communication.

As for the barn I've always found it more difficult to defend than the top floor of the house. If two players go in the room directly in front of the stairs and watch the windows, one person stays in the doorway watching the other doors on the landing and one player shoots anything that comes up the stairs you can hold out quite easily till the tank turns up.

Once that happens you need to get downstairs/outside until he's dead then get back to the original positions.

[LordSappington]

We were playing Blood Harvest yesterday, and for some reason we're doing especially shitty, even for versus. So we eventually just backtrack to the safe house, and figure we'll just shoot them through the bars. Then we hear this rumbling noise, and figure 'Oh god, good thing we got in the safe house; fucking tanks.'
About ten seconds later, we found out the hard way tanks can rip the safe house doors right the fuck off.
Dammit all.

[Dimnos]

lol nice sig sappington. Try not to suck any dicks on your way through the parking lot.

[LordSappington]

I'll try, but lawdy lawdy the temptation just kills me.

[Schimid]

Has anyone else tried to do a single player campaign on expert?

After failing it several times with friends (two of which were dead weight), I decided I'd give it a go. And it's not as bad as you'd think!

Death Toll was what I tackled, and it really wasn't as difficult as I thought it'd be. The computer players have an assortment of pros and cons that may or may not alleviate a lot of the headaches caused by real teammates.

For instance, it was fucking great to never, ever be shot by friendly fire. Seriously, not once. It was also neat that no matter how bad they looked, they would always end up healing ME. I liked that. It's like they're extra lives or something, just tagging along.

It sucked, though, that my comrades would never, ever pick up the throwable items. Even worse, they can't listen--which means my favorite spot under the boathouse stairs was rendered useless, as my team would continually check on the burning city to see if it was okay.

After losing at the finale tons and tons of times, I finally figured it out: the computer loves miniguns. I don't know about you, but I always completely ignore the mounted gun; I treat it like a witch. But if you get around the gun, the computer will do absolutely everything in their power to protect you. Once I'd started manning the gun, the team was taking literally no damage on either wave.

The tank was a different story, but survivor AI just isn't capable of fleeing, I guess.

[MetalMilitia]

Yeah FF is brutal on expert. One poorly aimed shotgun blast will just about kill you from 100% health. Great not having to worry about this with bots.

They're also reasonably smart which makes a change from just about every other shooter out there.

I got Untouchables (complete a finale (dead air in this case) with no survivors taking damage) the other day using bots. Admittedly it was on easy mode but it still took some doing.

Talking of achievements I've only got 5 left to get but they're all fucking hard. Particularly Nothing Special which seems impossible even on easy (though I've not tried with all humans).

[Schimid]

I'll probably end up doing the same thing and running through with some bots to get some achievements (Safety First, the no friendly fire one, is at the top of that list). Stomach upset looks tough, but computer boomers are dumb as hell.

I'm still pissed about not having Man v. Tank. I had a great versus round once where, while my entire team was otherwise distracted, I backpedaled from a tank, ran into the safe house, hid behind some boxes, then ran back out as he came in. All of this outrageous antics gave me time to unload three auto-shotgun clips into him. And I didn't get the achievement, presumably because someone else sunk in 10 damage with a rogue pistol ricochet.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I soloed a tank in Blood Harvest once. It was one of the two tanks that attacks during the finale. My other teammates left the game, so I was stuck with three AI that were stuck against a door in the house.

Long story short, the tank chased me all around the crop field as I backpedaled behind everything and unloaded all of my shotgun shells on the fucker.

Then I died as I was running into the military tank at the very end :(

[Fathom Zero]

I've gone through every campaign in a slightly different way, style, and path, and I don't think I'll find an end to the replayability.

[Phoenix Gamma]

And then we get to play the inevitable free updates that Valve will put up :D

I'm gonna hop on a play Versus. I haven't had a chance to play as the infected yet.

EDIT: I'm really bad as the infected. And being a survivor in versus is really frustrating, since special infected spawn every 15 seconds. It's fun, but I prefer standard co-op.

Oh, and with regards to the Blood Harvest finale, I've found the best place to hide was the closet on the bottom floor of the house. Everyone sits inside, with two people crouching in front and two people standing in back. Take out the first wave, run out to get ammo before the tank comes in. The first floor has enough room to either deal with the tank or run outside. Refill ammo again and go back into the closet for the second wave.

It works on the top floor bathroom too, but there's not enough room to fight a tank upstairs. Also, having the front row armed with shotguns works especially well.

[Schimid]

New update!

The smoker is good!
The hunter got worse!
Everyone is faster!
Starting Infected team on versus have a HUGE advantage in knowing where both the tank and witch will be!
Witch can't be pounced and then pied piper'd to the survivors!

Good update overall!

[MattJack]

my name is sephone on xbox live if anyone ever wants to play this with me. I'm not that great though ;/

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

If you get smoked does it make the elite infected attracted to you too?

[Fathom Zero]

Just an easier target.

I've been kicked from every game today. For most of them, I was actually in the lead as infected, but the rest of the team is fuckheads.

[DuFresne]

I don't think the game is quite worth the fifty bucks, so took this as an excuse to get me the Valve complete pack on steam, which at 99 bucks for 20 games was a much better deal. :D

Edit: I sound like a commercial :(

[DevilWearsPrada]

Just got this a few hours ago, starting to regret not getting skate 2 instead.

Was playing No Mercy online with some guys, one of which made it a point to drop people halfway through revival, multiple times in a row. Then, when we got to the elevator another guy decided to spin around in circles and fire wildly, peppering the whole elevator and everyone still alive with assault rifle rounds. Even better, the 1st jerk who kept half reviving then dropping people decided to run to the last safehouse before the finale before anyone else could and spammed opening and closing the door a bunch, preventing anybody but him from finishing. Finally, a tank came whilst we were yelling obscenities at the guy and killed everyone but him. It's okay though, at least HE got through alive >:

[OxBlood]

And again, here we have the reason why you should NEVER and under any circumstances, play with random people.

[Fathom Zero]

I've had a problem getting achievements. I beat Blood Harvest the other night on expert and got no recognition, and I didn't get Untouchables or the one for not getting vomited on when I played through Dead Air yesterday.

What the fuck's up?

[MetalMilitia]

Did you do it in single player? Because on PC you can only get the achievements on-line.

[DevilWearsPrada]

no problem here on 360, got dead block and mercy killer on single

[Fathom Zero]

I must have done something stupid. I got credit forr Death Toll today.

[kahljorn]

that sounds like most games ive played ;/

[Fathom Zero]

Ain't it grand?

[DevilWearsPrada]

I was playing no mercy on easy (online) so I could get the achievements for not healing and not disturbing any witches. ANYWAYS, we were at the top floor right before the penultimate safehouse and I got jumped by a smoker, but my teammates were too busy dicking around and killing common undead to help me before I got incapped. Then, one of the AI survivors decided to heal me and I couldn't stop him from healing because L4D sucks. Oh, and there was a witch placed in an unavoidable spot right outside the safehouse door.

>:

[MetalMilitia]

If you crown the witch before she gets up you still get the achievement. It's only when she starts running about that you lose it. I had to kill 2-3 to get it because they were in stupid places.
If you get out your med-pack the bot will stop healing you I think. At least that's how it works on PC.

Update details are out:

The first L4D DLC - dubbed the L4D Survival Pack -- is due for release this spring and introduces a new multiplayer game mode entitled, Survival, plus two complete campaigns for Versus Mode . A Critic's Choice Edition of the game is also heading to retail stores this spring, and will include access to all the content introduced in the L4D: Survival Pack. In addition, for PC gamers and aspiring developers, the first Left 4 Dead release for the Source Software Development Kit (Source SDK) will allow the creation of custom Left 4 Dead campaigns that will be discoverable via L4D's matchmaking system. The SDK update is also due for release this spring, and is free of charge to all owners of L4D on the PC.
"Since Half-Life launched in 1998, Valve has made continuous efforts to expand the offering of its products beyond what's included on the day of launch," said Gabe Newell, co-founder and president of Valve. "With Half-Life and Counter-Strike, and more recently Team Fortress 2, we've learned that we're no longer making stand-alone games but creating entertainment services. With Left 4 Dead we're extending that tradition by creating additional gameplay and releasing our internal tools to aspiring developers so they may also create and distribute new Left 4 Dead experiences."

[kahljorn]

i hate how 90% of the people who play this on versus don't understand how the game works ;/ or probably any game

for example half the team starts jetting off so the infected have problems keeping abreast of us; usually works, but when you have one asshole going really slow who hasn't left the safe room it doesn't help to leave him there to die ;/

plus if he dies, the scores average out so that even if one of you beat the level, you'll still only get 50% ;/ and having 3 people instead of four sucks ;/

and what's with people who will like hide by themselves in a room somewhere at the beginning of a level? are they retarded? People are fucking lucky I don't have a microphone. I would make them feel ashamed to have a brain.
Then they get attacked by a hunter so everyone has to run back to save them. dicks. fucking dicks.

then this one asshole the other day... i had very little health and he ALREADY HAD PILLS AND A MED KIT. SO HE TAKES HIS PILLS, GRABS SOME PILLS THAT HE FINDS, AND THEN USES HIS MED KIT.
WHY.
I killed him >:

[Emu]

I just got this today. My gamertag is ikewagner. Let's kill sum zombeez sumtiem

[kahljorn]

ill add you next time i get on

[Sam]

I ADDED YOU IKEWAGNER I HOPE YOU ARE READY TO BEAT THE ENTIRE GAME ON EXPERT IN ONE PLAY. >:

[Emu]

I can barely beat easy mode. :(

edit: I also need a headset.

[Fathom Zero]

I need a headset after my dogs ate mine.

[MetalMilitia]

Playing L4D without a headset it like trying to beat a baby to death with both hands tied behind your back. It's possible but takes twice as long while being only half as fun.

Well, maybe that's not the best analogy but you get the picture.

[kahljorn]

i find that people who play with headsets are too retarded to look behind them when they hear noises or even bother looking for the giant red highlighted thing ;\ ;/

[Emu]

For my first online game I think I did pretty ok except that I kept shooting kahl in the head :(

[kahljorn]

lol ;o i was just happy you used the propane tanks properly instead of blowing them up al willy nilly! you did good though!

[Emu]

When I saw you specifically moving them to a spot where they would be kept safe I figured you were going to use them for something.

[kahljorn]

SOMEHOW NOBODY ELSE ON THE INTERNET UNDERSTANDS THAT

OR THEY DO AND THEY ARE JUST ASSHOLES >:

[Emu]

At least I learned my lesson about the power of explosives when I threw that molotov at the Tank and lit the whole stairwell (including all of us) on fire. :( I guess I just thought it was napalm or something and would stick to the tank instead of going everywhere. Idk

[kahljorn]

i got man vs tank somehow tonight through all that madness ;\
