Both. There's coop mode with varying difficulty levels..which is fun, but not as good as... Vs mode, where it's 4 human survivors vs 4 infected (the boss monsters rather than just the 'normal' infected) and hordes of common infected. This is the most fun mode by far.
There are four campaigns where you play a group of humans against AI zombies - at the beginning of each campaign you start somewhere (e.g. the middle of a city) and have to fight your way to the 'extraction point' e.g. the top of a hospital to escape by helicopter.
Then there's the VS. mode, which is to be honest where the real meat lies. Eight players (four as humans, four as zombies with different abilities) makes for some very unpredictable games

I would play it today with some friends or at least running through the coop missions with bots to understand the game more.
There is a lot to learn, especially on VS when you need to know not only all the game play tips (e.g - melee all the time , you can reload whilst meleeing), but tactics and good positions for all the classes of zombie

Quick question. Do hunters on fire cause additional damage?
I know in the recent patch it looked as if it had been removed completely but wasn't sure whether that was a mistake that had been rectified. I only ask because I still keep seeing loads of flaming hunters on public servers and wondered whether I'd missed something.

As far as I knew they removed the extra damage hunters did whilst on fire, or reduced it. Still not sure if it is more than the average hunter damage or not though

I've read that if you use environmental flames to set yourself on fire (NM2 subway etc) there is no extra damage at all, but if you light yourself off a molotov or fuel can fire you will do increased damage but not as much as before.

Yeah, i would definitely at least play the first 2 single player campaigns on advanced settings before going into a vs match with a bunch of regulars. Just be prepared to take some orders when needed, otherwise people will just resent the newb. Obviously the better you get, the less you need to be told what to do. This game strongly relies on teamwork and voice comms, so get your mic hooked up and use it.
This is why you should not throw mollies when your at a set piece before a horde. Just lets the Hunters do more damage. Don' blow anything up and don't throw any unnecessary molotovs.

Looks like OcUK 5 is down - Seaniboy's server.

Check the newsposts in the ocuk left4dead steam group page for instructions on how you can make lobbies use the private servers - it's a lot easier to do through steam/the game than it is to get stuff going manually on here
