You, me, flunkie and combine sure got far on expert.

That damn Tank would always appear in the most cramped spaces.

Than it just turned into a killing each other frenzy.

I have come so close to beating the demo on expert with Combine and others. Just the friggin tanks destroy most of the team and hunters finish us off

Anybody else picked this up?



So much fun. Played through the first set of levels on the versus mode today. Haven't had that much fun in awhile. Actually had a good group and we dominated the other team. It is fun playing as the infected though I have one gripe. It is was easy to kill the hunters and smokers, especially when you are one. One shot basically kills you and then you are done and have to wait another 20 seconds to spawn.

What thing?

And I was so Pissed. I went to gamestop around the corner from my job to see if they had. They did, but told me couldn't buy unless had it pre-ordered which was fair enough. They then turn around and tell me if I pre-order another game they may find a copy for me, what the hell type of crap is that!

Long story short, didn't get yet.

The demo gave me nightmares. And I never planned on getting it anyway... Too much violence and gore for me. Which is a shame, because I really really love this kind of game.

Thats kind of contradictory isnt it?

You love a first person zombie shooter but dont like the inevitable violence that comes with it?

Thats the best part about zombie games though because it gives you a reason as to why their heads and limbs blow off, and that reason is, because their zombies.

Angrist 11-19-2008 05:11 PM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
Yeah it's contradictory. And then again, it's not. Some part of me likes them, but another part knows they're no good for me. So I'll be strong here and not play this game anymore.

Too bad you don't like the PC. You can just log onto STEAM and download it. You don't even have to get off your ass!

I'll probably be buying it, but I haven't decided if it will be for 360 or PC yet.

My friend and I played split screen co-op on the PC version (which is unsupported but can still be accessed using console commands) last night with 360 controllers on my new TV. It pretty much sold me.

Angrist 11-26-2008 03:07 PM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
Can you play half splitscreen, half online? Two of my friends might get this, would be nice if we could play with 3 people on 2 Boxes.

Combine 017 11-26-2008 06:37 PM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
Its up to 2 players online and off on one console. So yes you can bring a guest on and play online with other people, id assume system link would work like that as well.

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
I know it is a part of the game, but wish you could turn off friendly fire on some encounters.

Only so often, i could run in front of Combine's gun. ;)

We were in a safe room, who expects their partner to be shooting in a SAFE room. :p

That's why I destroyed your crate. ;)

If you remember correctly it wasn't that safe

That was AFTER the fact, and yeah.. we now know. :lolz:

Generally if I'm in front I leave crouch toggled. It cuts down on friendly fire deaths by quite a bit.

BreakABone 12-29-2008 01:00 AM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
Just finished a game with Combine, and Dylflon's other half, and it was pretty fun.

We completed Death Toll and then No Mercy... somewhat.. we get to the end with 4 team members, and one by one they all get picked off... I just kind of jump for the helicopter to make sure one person survives. :lol:

RIP Team Combine, Dylflon Alternate and Mike or something. :p

Did mini Dylflon have a mic?

Indeed he did, so we got to hear all of their breaks... their quite frequent breaks. :lolz:

And best of all, well as far as I know there was no lag or dropped connections for two complete campaigns. :D

Was reading through the thread and I have to reiterate this. I would honestly play a dwarf if it gave me that option because crouching is so usefull.

That was lllame.

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
They kept saying you could move the ting out of the way, which I seriously doubt. Plus one of them sounded like they were like 12 years old. Guess we just have to be satisfied with the fact that we kept kicking their butts as infected :lolz:

And that was priceless when you asked if the door shortcut really worked, only to find it already opened :P

Fyacin 01-03-2009 11:31 AM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
Haha, I was playing some LAN and they tried that door shortcut. It took them so long that us special infected pretty much destroyed them. It would have been better for them if they just activated the lift.

I guess it depends.
Fox was pretty good with it, 3 of us attacked while he hammered away at the door. We watched his back and what have you.

And let's face fact, the other team was kind of bad. We were beating them by a ratio of 10:1.

Bond 01-03-2009 11:44 AM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
Maybe they blocked the elevator because we used that door trick...

Fox 6 01-03-2009 12:18 PM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
Id doubt it. Ive seen the door trick used a lot. I think it depends more on the person being a juvenile wiener or not.

BreakABone 01-03-2009 01:21 PM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
I got some advice on another forum, but it seems the easiest way to get past it is either to blow up a boomer near it or work with some type of explosive (gas tank or pipe bomb)

Fyacin 01-03-2009 01:53 PM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
It was very entertaining. They were all screaming at the guy pounding at the door to get it open while he was assuring them that he had in fact done this before, as we kept dragging them out and "boomer"ing them.

Bond 01-04-2009 04:02 PM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
We should send Fox out in style with a L4D night.

BreakABone 01-04-2009 05:21 PM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
Maggypie and myself are about to hop on.
There's a Dylflon on, but not sure which it is and neither is responding so if anyone else cares to join.

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
Let's go for 6 pt / 8 ct.

Bond 01-04-2009 10:15 PM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
More L4D or TF2?

Fox 6 01-04-2009 10:34 PM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
I could go either.
