***OFFICAL*** Left 4 Dead Thread!

I dunno, it was proper dodgy this morning. I kept trying to join a lobby, and instead of taking me to one it would just attempt to load a single player game and then crash.

Just played it twice through a minute ago, seemed fine.

Now, back to making a random horde infested map ;)

Played the demo, not very impressed at all, its just a zombie shooter ... Dead Rising on the 360 springs to mind except thats a LOT better!

Dead Rising is a single player game - L4D is all about the co-op. Aside from having zombies in and urban environment, they're not similar at all.

Also, I'm not sure how you expected it *not* to be a Zombie shooter? Did the advertising ever suggest anything else?

at first i thought left 4 dead was barbie world expansion... but i was wrong... :o
 
What else other than escape from a load of zombies is there to do, whether it be single player or co-op ... the essence of this and Dead Rising is the same, survive and escape, different approace, same overall goal.

I'm sure there could have been other stuff added to this game to make it better IMHO.

it can be added anytime you know that? :D
 
Played a decent bit of it now, expert is definately the only way to go i.m.o - there's just no tension otherwise.

Very fun at times, can imagine the other maps will only get better. I can however imagine it being slated for the linarity - it needs more paths and ways to accomplish things. As for the director AI if it creates a different play experience each time how come there is always a horde that comes when your just about to enter the subway station on the first part (just before the end of that part)? That's as good as scripted i.m.o.

Yep stand by the "20 hours till it gets stale", but definately fun untill then. Anyway the co-op may not even be the most popular mode, maby versus will prove much more fun and have lots more longivity.
 
I hope in the final version of the game you are able to disable the motion blur independently from other graphics settings, You are able to in other valve games with motion blur, so why not l4d!
 
after 4 hours of gameplay i'm really starting to like left4dead. the first impressions werent that good. i'll wait for a few reviews before purchase though.
 
late to the party - just played my first round

loving what im seeing

the game could do with a few improvements but i will reserve judgement until the final release

cant wait for the mods!
