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

Not if there isn't a military map you can't! :p

besides, whats to say the infection didn't spread quickly etc? So quickly that the forces where just not able to form a decent type of resistance?

I haven't read the back story or anything so I dunno :p

Well it is based in America so there should be an M16 in every car trunk and store backroom. :D
 
I could do with the OCUK steam group number also as I have a dedicated server I would like to add :)

You'll have to ask the admin of the group, unless someone knows it here.

You might be lucky and have the creator come by this thread and tell you as well :p
 
Anytime i try and join a server it just immediately says "connection with session has been lost". Like literally as soon as i click join. Doesnt even seem to be trying to make the connection.


This is a bug at the moment if you try and join a FINALE level. I had it last night while trying to join friends. As soon as they are done and are back in the lobby you can join.

Getting it permanently...I'd look for help on steam forum.


Well I played the full game after getting home last night....WoW. It bascially had the draw of the demo when it first came out!

I managed to play a whole campaign of "Blood Harvest" with 3 mates on advanced. Great fun, died once on the FINALE but we sorted out our tactics and it was all good!

That level was cool as hell, quite long and much different to No Mercy.


I also played an hour or so of .VS. mode on a server with some decent guys. So much damn fun.

You play the round as human to start, do what you can and see if you cna get to the next safe house. Then you switch and the undead go survivor and vice versa. It spiced up the No Mercy campaign loads!

I'll stress what someone else said above though, which is horde MUST work together otherwise you run out and die instantly. We had a hunter and smoker working to pull someone miles and puke on him. Also two hunters working together works great if the group are quite seperated.

Playing the Tank is GREAT but the HP seems less than the CO-OP tank has and I didn't seem to do much damage. I chased the woman from full HP to knocked down on the ground RED HP. Hit her about 7/8 times in a row on the ramage and she still lived...bit dissapointed.

Other than the above, can't wait to see the other two campaigns and play them all on expert and have more fun on the VS mode :)


Edit: I also recomend the Hampshire Heavies L4D community. Loads of members and they have 5 servers up at the mo. 3 COOP and 2 VS I think. Search them on google!
 
finished the all the chapters on advanced was fun. for some reason versus mode not really interesting. the game needs more chapters , maybe few more weapons.

two uzi's would be nice but less accuracy something like that.

The reason I'm excited about this game is because what we currently have now is just like a shell. It will be expanded upon officially and by the community, and if the core game is so much fun, lots of better stuff is still to come.

VS is where I spent most of my time yesterday - I found it such an original take on team vs team - and it should make an interesting clan game.

I agree, I can't wait to see custom made maps. Should really be nice, also you could base yourself on movies places etc.. etc.. :D need more zombie killing, once that "*ç"*ç" steam will work.........

Anyone know if there are any back story behind this game available for reading somewhere? Could be interesting.

Only stuff that's on their site: http://www.l4d.com/survivors.htm
 
Like the bit in the lift in the hospital "damn they move so fast, i'm calling zombie bull&$&£ on this!"

The character that speakers changes each time. When playing yesterday Bill muttered something about taking on all the zombies by himself with his bear hands. Then Francis made a joke about his beard or something.. :D

When ever there is one guy left and then the others respawn, a smoker will always get you before you can get to the door. This happened a lot! grrr.

Tell me about it, every time.

- 'Yes!! good work, quick come get us out'
- 'Oh dear, screwed....'
- 'ARrRRAGGG get em off me!!!'
<cue death music>

On No Mercy (chapter 4) I walked towards the safe house door with 1HP and was about 5 metres away when a hunter came OUT of the room :( So close to having that chapter finished, we could never manage it the subsequent times.

Fair enough if content comes thick and fast, it's more likely all your going to get are new costume skins and have to wait ages for a new level.

As how would that that work ? there is already a finale ? would it be pre start levels then ? this game will be great in about a year from now though.

I simply refuse to pay over £15-99 for what is essentially a mod a very very good mod but a mod nonetheless.

That silly, and rather unfounded viewpoint, will make you miss out on the prime time of a very very good game?

How is it a mod.

That's like calling the new COD a mod because its on the same engine as the last or something.
 
oh lol, more of the "its a mod" crowd. I can handle this one ;)


Deus Ex was a mod of Unreal, worth buying?

Most Splinter Cell games were just a mod of Unreal2, as was XIII

Army of Two was just a UT3 mod, mass effect 2 is going to be a UT3 mod too, probably not worth getting as are Gear of War 1 & 2.

Lest we forget that Half Life was just a silly little quake mod, i heard that wasnt worth paying £30 for either.
 
Of course it's a mod it's just a mod with high production values with money behind it.

And you wont be seeing new levels any time soon all you will get is gameplay tweaks skins and maybe a couple of new zombies.

I don't buy in to the hype you'll all be bored of this within a few weeks imo.

I do like the game but the hype it's getting is not due.

But I appreciate you all paying silly money for it as that can only help to bring the price down to a more realistic level for this currently short lived game.
