November 6, 2008 at 6:40 pm #69799XDCJuDgE-MenTaLParticipantlol, lets release a demo for people that have …already bought the game, that way they can cancel if they don’t like it.
demo or GTFO Valve!! not going to buy a demo….cnuts.
(btw this should be in the Steam forum, post monkey :))
November 7, 2008 at 8:01 am #69800XDCiNSANEParticipantoh, didnt know we had one.. I will learn’ed for next time, besides I’m sure its full of ghey TF2’ers 🙂
aye, not paying for it either, whats 4 days.. tools
free demo is out on toosday next week
November 10, 2008 at 6:43 pm #69801Beer_MonsterParticipantWhat can i say, i fell for it and pre-purchased Left 4 Dead……..and i’m throughly glad i did, I LOVE this demo. It’s only 1 1/2 maps of the full game, but damn, it’s atmospheric. Nothing like that 1st horde rush after being vomited on by a boomer or disturbing that freaky young witch thing.
I like the teamplay aspect of it, there’s gonna be no lone wolfing it in this game, if you don’t stick together, you’re zombie food very quickly.
Don’t think about it…..just get the demo, i guarantee you’ll love it!!
hmmm…….mmight not be around on Tuesday night to play it though, travelling to the states in less than 2 weeks and i lost my passport so i’m having to spend my night in a Liverpool passport office begging to be given a new one. 🙄
November 10, 2008 at 11:26 pm #69802-Crazy-Black BobParticipantGot to say the games an instant classic i have replayed the demo an awful lot, and every time it changed just a little but enought to make it intresting, the hardness are also good, expert is very hard yet possible, and advanced it a good level to play on whilst having a relaxing game 😀
November 11, 2008 at 7:49 am #69803XDCiNSANEParticipanthoorah, sounds like a none overated game.. good stuff, will look into it tonight (as the demo’s free 🙂 )
November 11, 2008 at 6:48 pm #69804XDCJuDgE-MenTaLParticipantyea after severe pier pressure I caved too, and it is very cool. I love the horde dive on a carefully planned pipe bomb. I do like deliberately setting off the car alarm and running down the subway :). Haven’t been on a team that got through expert yet (probably because of stunts like the above), have come close but there’s always a Rambo….or people that run in front of you and stand in a doorway, hopefully they will learnz soon enough 🙂 Getting past the Tank guy’s pretty hard and you hear the crying witch, torch off and leave well alone.
Hope I’m wrong but I’ve got a feeling this might come and go and get samey quite fast (difficult to say from the short demo) but it’ll do nicely in between Far Cry 2 and the next TF2 patch thats for sure.
November 13, 2008 at 7:59 am #69805XDCiNSANEParticipantHad a dabble of SP, tiz a rather nice game if I do say so meself.. will have a go of MP to see whats what and whos who
November 19, 2008 at 7:04 pm #69806XDCJuDgE-MenTaLParticipantanyone playing the full game?
I think it’s pretty good, love CO-OP anyway so this is well worth a punt.
Things what rox:
-Being able to idle and have your player taken over by a bot while you go for a dump.
-The Sniper Rifle
-Versus mode (apparently, I’ve not touched that yet.)
-The Banter, when you get 4 comedians on the mics, don’t know why but this has been funny as fuck, not sure why it’s different than CS say. I guess mostly down to the abuse hurled at the person in character or people actually playing ‘in character’. Ageist humour at Bill etc. My mate last night playing as Louis, suddenly putting on his finest Chris Rockesque voice standing next to a burnt house plant turning to everyone and in the torchlight coming out with “Which one of you niggaz forgot to water my shit, I toll you dat ma shit need to be watered, fuck you muthatfukkaz” walks out door Hunter grabs him “Oh thats just fuckin great, pick on the black guy muthafukka” (guess you had to be there) I was in tears for about 5 minutes wish I’d demo’ed it coz it was priceless.
-The shit your pants factor playing late at night when a Hunter pins you from nowhere.
-The fact that there’s a Redneck called Francis.
-Bill’s one liners.
-Pipe Bombs
-Being able to still talk (help and abuse) the players when your dead
-Friends only games, total lack of teamkilling fagboys. (unless you roll with teamkilling fagboys of course)Things that kinda suck
-coming back from the karzee only to find that your bot has given away your med pack and left you with fuck all health.
-falling down and only being allowed to use pistols
-The only real variation in the games is where the Tank Boss appears or where the 2nd level guns appear. Boomers, Smokers and Hunters are just everywhere and Hordes spawn randomly but one is much like the next.
-Just managing to survive long enough to make it to the safe room, thinking you’ve finally got the section cracked only to open the door to a Tank and having to do the whole level again for the 8th time.
– Just managing to survive long enough to make it to the final bit of the last level only to get killed by a team mate. (at least you get a ‘dedicated to the memory of’ in the credits.)not many games have kept me up late like this has though, and all the above in only 2 outings it’s defintely a ‘ok one more crack’ game. I’ve still only fully done 2 of the 4 movies and Versus mode is on the agenda tonight.
EDIT: Versus mode is cool, love the way the’ve implemented it. you play a section as the survivors and the other team has to thwart it by spawning as either a smoker, a hunter, or a boomer (if ya lucky a tank). As the infected you choose where to spawn out of sight and you can see the outlines which are coloured for their health level, highly recommended.
November 21, 2008 at 2:16 pm #69807sickofitallParticipantYeah, I got it last night. It’s a good game but all those dirty slack jawed idiots everywhere – it reminds me of that time I went to Preston.
January 22, 2009 at 6:44 pm #69808XDCMunkeeParticipantis it worth me getting this? any of you lot still playing it?
January 23, 2009 at 8:21 am #69809XDCiNSANEParticipantnot me
January 23, 2009 at 11:34 am #69810crazy hippoParticipanti am still playing this a lot.
played a few hours last night with Bakura Vampire. i find that it is best played with people you know especially in versus mode.
god i love versus mode, its brilliantly simple amusement.
January 23, 2009 at 2:39 pm #69811sickofitallParticipantI play it all the time.
Great game but it’s been let down by the latest patch which means the team that plays survivors second always wins and the fucking ridiculous console inspired online interface which means there is no server browser.

Not sure about that, I can win playing survivors first still most of the time.
Also open up the console and type openserverbrowser to bring up the normal browser… great for joining games already in process.
