Do you need a gold membership to download the demo on the 360?

melchy · 12 Nov 2008 at 08:54

Have to say I though it was great. I was completely undecided about it until I played the demo. Have it pre-ordered on PC simply because its cheaper.

I just love the way the Zombies move

I don't think so but you could do with getting yourself a 48 hour gold trial anyway. This game is aimed at online play.

Thought the demo was VERY average. Will wait for reviews before getting this for sure. If all maps are THAT small and so seemingly non-interactive, well, I will have to pass.

looks like my type of pick up and play game, will be downloading today

Has this game got cross-platform play between 360 and PC does anyone know?

No it doesn't.

Did a few sections of expert the other day. Very fun game just pretty damn frustrating how fast you die if you get puked on

Loving this game, cannot wait for full release, if only you could aim down the sights, or dual pistols were controlled separately rather than by single trigger button it would be perfect!

It doesn't.

I think it would spoil the pacing a bit if you could aim down the sights. Its fine for the sniper rifle, usually only one of you grabs it anyway, but the whole team sneaking about picking off zombies with headshots would go against the fast-paced nature of the game. When I first picked up L4D I was quite surprised how fast you could run but as soon as the first wave of zombies appeared round a corner I was pretty glad of it. It feels like Valve wanted it to be a panicky, run and gun sort of game. Which is great

Wiggis · 12 Nov 2008 at 11:46

yea, but you would not be able to permanently look down the sights anyway simply because of the shear numbers and speed.

It would just be nice to pick a few off from distance whilst you can, lol

Im on now, hopefully Wiggis and Hilly are joining me too?

Kreeeee · 12 Nov 2008 at 23:01

First time a game's made me panic since Super Mario World!

I'll definitely be picking this up

Noel Gallagher · 12 Nov 2008 at 23:31

Just played this online with friend, it's not bad.. It seems a tad over rated in my books.

Wouldn't mind buying this sometime this year though!

TriedandTested · 13 Nov 2008 at 00:12

I think I need to try it online, perhaps that's more fun?

Shotgun is far too powerful and the Uzi runs out of ammo to quickly and damm all those people who ive played with who took all the pills and health and left me on 5 hp

Tobes · 13 Nov 2008 at 00:43

Sounds like someone sucks at the game rather than the game sucking lol.

Strife212 · 13 Nov 2008 at 00:43

He didn't say the game sucked

Last Kronin · 13 Nov 2008 at 00:45

But i didnt die, all hail the over powered shotgun, mowing down a mass of enemies, of course getting a molotov chucked on me didnt help why killing the tank.
