Left 4 Dead, am i missing something?

[Knubje]

Hi guys,

I bought this game the other day, set the difficulty to easy, blizted through all campaigns in 1 hour with 3 bots at my side. It's probably because I'm so proskill, but you know, I can't really help that.

Waste of money if you ask me.

Before you ask:

I am not apart of any communities
I have 10 Steam Friends
I like RTS

I can see your point if your only playing single player or playing the game Vs bots

Have you ever played Versus with players who actually know how to play this game ?

To say you only have 6 guns....what do you want, heli's and ground vihicles ? rocket launcher ?

This game is all about team play for me and trying to outwit the opposition, play some 4v4's and 8v8's with other ppl from OCuK and tell me its a let down!

I have played very little of the single player, i only bought the game after the release of the survival mode; which i find to be the most enjoyable. Dont get me wrong i think its a good game, but it has got its faults.

1. 6 weapons ( apart from grenades ), sorry but no where near enough. I was actually very shocked by this as its something so easy to change. I know the company has to keep the balance between the effectiveness of the weapons but surely more could have been added. Im not talking ridiculous weapons such as rpg's or lasers.

2. The A.I director is a good creation, despite the fact the zombies may come from different angles each time it still is extremly repetitive.

3. Been able to reload whislt attacking takes away from the realism of the game in my eyes. Could also say it takes away from the team work aspect of the game also. AS the only real time u need help from team mates is if your pinned by a hunter or smoker. I managed to stay alive for close to 7 mins on the highest difficulty survival mode. Longer then on some pubs

The thing is with this game is you love it or hate it. Theirs not really a middle line. IMO its a fun game to play with friends and it does it well.

You play survival and complain about repetitiveness :/


Also

Doesn't survival only have one difficulty level?

So you actually lasted 7 mins on the easiest difficulty level...

Step away people, we have CPL membership right here.

Do not approach unless you want your backside to get pwned!

Been a while since I played LFD mate, I should really get back into it to show everyone how it's done If any invites going and I'm about please wing them my way

Guys, guy!

My STEAM friends list is so large I had to delete some fools!

That's how badass I am



Play with us! then you'll have fun

 

[Spils]

Midnight Lamp and Sharpy? Generally mental chaps

Definatly midnight man is crazy nothing cracks me up more than benny hill when it all goes wrong and your team ends up running in circles

Lol at saying the ocuk players suck I think your find there's all skill levels. Some
of suck, some of us are average some of us are very good.
We also have good days and bad.

Most of us really don't care about skill levels that's the great thing about playing with ocuk players an example tefal brought a friend to play the game last night a newbie didn't even no how to pounce a hunter, still one of the best games I've had and im sure we won it at the very end.

Left 4 Dead is an awesome game for many reasons, mainly its the people you play it with that make it so great. Nuff said.

hahahah you get the point, why do people go for the jugular so fast here? No i do not play survival mode all the time, but i do play it as its part of the game. Its my favourite part of it but all the modes become repetitive yes. In L4D fanboys defence allmost every game does become repetitive its just my opinion, you dont have to burn me at the stake ^^.

As for the other comments meh sometimes the truth hurts

She's a witch!!

BURN HER!

(By this I mean, find her crying in a corner, do not anger her, throw a molotov at safe disance and then leg it whilst your mates stand in her way blocking her like a bad cs:s player whilst at the same time pumping her full of lead).

Also, what's the problem with only 6 weapons? What on earth do you want?

UMP45. A submachine gun.
MP5. A submachine gun.
FAMAS. A submachine gun.
AK47. A submachine gun.
M16. A submachine gun.

Glock. A pistol.
USP. A pistol.
Browning. A pistol.
Berretta. A pistol.
PT145. A pistol.
P99. A pistol.

A baseball bat. Melee weapon.
Golf club. melee weapon.
plank with nail. a melee weapon.
pointy stick. a melee weapon.

They're all the same thing, with different skins. Who cares what they look like? You can't put machine guns in there, because you dont find machine guns lying about on the street. Except that one time in hackney when i found an M2 Browning with tripod...

If you had rocket launchers, laser guns, exorcet missiles, intercontinental nuclear warheads, tanks, mavity guns, gauss weapons, mind control devices etc.. it wouldn't be L4D. It would be every other FPS.

Anyway.. what happened to the thread where we worked out there were 26 weapons in L4D?

Not 100% sure i will check, the point i was making is its not as team work needed or you cant play me as you think. Now i ask what mode do you play which does not become repetitive ?

You'd probably Find SAW's from soldiers holding barricades.

VS, it's different every time, like CS and TF2.

Bots are rpetative people are always trying something new and usually stupid

Like ryan finding the way right across the beams to the roof at the start of DA, getting pounced and having to leave him behind cause no one could get him >.<

Pretty easy to reply to really. Take call of duty for example, their are as you say a lot of smgs, pistols etc. Its not just the skin which could be changed though is it? Its the stats/rate of fire/ mag capacity/ damage theirs a lot of factors involved.

You can play survival online with friends which is still enjoyable. VS to me still became very samey.

 

[DampCat]

One skin with slightly slower bullets will change the game for the better? :/

I'll accept the SAW/Soldier thing. Presumably that's how they got an M16 and grenades anyway.

I think his point is : that is what makes L4D, L4D.

It wouldn't be a zombie survival apocalyptic scenario if you had an entire army's arsenal at your disposal would it?

At first I was a little bit like "There is only 10 guns?!" but you get used to it. Each has it's strengths and weaknesses. Mainly weaknesses if it's Kearney with his sniper rifle...but you learn to get by...

Dont get me wrong i see your side of things i truelly do, but in all honesty if the zombie apocolypse occured where i live i doubt very much id pick up an auto shotty off of a park bench or even in the local police station. The fact is this is a GAME, therefore it kinda deviated from the realism when it added zombies so i think we can push the boat a little further and add some more weapons lol. Much more likely for me to find an p90 on the street then a zombie. Unless its my nan ( shudders )

For me it would yes. Like i said tho its not just rate of fire there are other factors which would be taken into account. If were going to enter into the realism debate anyways

1. The usp does not have 15 rounds.

2. M4 does not have 50 rounds.

3. Apart from 1 char these are all everyday people. How have they learned to use guns.

4. Biggest argument in favour of my point. If zombie kingdom occured im pretty sure they would be hard countered by every nations army thus making the chance of bumping into more forms of weaponry more realistic and believable. Then again the english army is so under equipped that we probably are fighting in Iraq with the mere 10 weapons listed in this game.
