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

Steam made a mistake here. Especially with the pound so weak. Ill be getting it from a hypermarket, despite my general hate for them

I cant help thinking they missed a trick here, they would have sold a ton of copies at £29.99 and screwed over the pirates. Just hope the multiplayer option keeps people honest but thats pretty slim :( I dont know why they do it to themselves.
 
I bought my copy on Steam to get the early access & a copy for my son from elsewhere for £20.

I got to play it for a week extra & wind him up something rotten.

Win - Win :D
 
just had an epic versus mode game with the ocuk faithful was an absolute blast, great games by all.

Highlights including Marko wiping out our team of myself, rob, lyon and nieldo as a tank.

Lyon single handedly beating the tank and saving all of us before death :)

Niel punching half the humans out of the skyscraper to their deaths

Myself dying at the start of a level to sit and give running commentary for the remainder of the map ha ha
 
*sigh* i really dont get this game the way it spawns people as infected. It seems 90% of the time you get a hunter, then the odd time you get a boomer or smoker, what exactly makes the boomer and smoker such a "must have" class in the eyes of the game?

Hunter is probably the most anying class to play, you dive onto someone, slap them a couple of times and then you get shot and die. There doesnt seem to be a way to jump off and attack someone else unless you get smacked off with the shove move.

I get boomer and smoker quite a lot. At the start of the game it's difficult to get many hits in unless you work together. If you start with a boomer try and find a way to hit all four survivors, like jumping off a building and exploding all over them (my fav trick), with smoker stalk them until you think you can pick off a stragler (or do some damage after the boomer has done his job), as hunter you need to stalk and chose your victims again (or do some damage after the boomer has done his job...) and as a tank you hit things.

It's a hell of a lot of fun, but four mics and chatty players make for a beautiful ballet of death.

gg sharpy, the airport rocks.

It's £33.80 on Steam

£22.99 at Play.com but you do get a DVD and a box which is why it's cheaper:confused:


Storing the box takes up space, if you lived in Tokyo you would appreciate that:p

The price difference might be a result of crazy stock markets recently, the pound has lost a quarter of its value in a fairly short time

The game boxes would have already shipped or been agreed a price point months ago. They have to sell the idea to retailers before its stocked, etc
