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

Was playing a game yesterday with mates and the Tank had decimated all but one of us and he alone managed to after a lot of running up and down the escalators at the start of the underground level defeat the Tank - took bloomin ages tho lol

i think its great the way you can play a few rounds with no 'tank' spawning then all of a sudden from out of nowhere he jums into the action when you least expect!!! he's sometimes turned up in the middle of mass chaos!! i love this game ;p

That was me :P
The Tank scares the pants off me, not fun when it turns up.
The full version of this game is going to be so good, this and empire total war will keep me going for a long time.
 
Every time I play the demo I pray that the tank is going to show up, it's so deadly, it still makes the team wet their pants even after like 17 hours of play time, especially with low health and a limp.

Also, if you want to know how to run circles around the tank, watch the AI do it.
 
Try the demo, its free to the public tomorrow (nov 11th). I've clocked just under 20 hours on the demo and still finding new ways to beat it. Its still hard as nuts after all this game time. The tanks are near impossible to defeat without team work.

Is that directly from Steam if you've got a Steam account ? Might go this route first, not heard anyone give it a bad word yet

Just found this on Steam, thanks for the heads-up

On November 11 the demo will be made available to all PC and Xbox 360 gamers worldwide, with no obligation to purchase. The demo concludes on November 18, when Left 4 Dead will be made available at retail outlets across North America and worldwide via Steam.

Came across the Witch sitting on the train you have to go through in the subway, we stood there for a minute or two trying to figure out what to do, in the end we all just opened up on her, me with the hunting rifle and down she went :D
 
does anyone else get disconnected now and then, liek the game closes and you can see the steam item updating, then in the game browser it says synchronising for about 2 seconds then fine again???

Yes. The demo is far from perfect(connection wise). Although, its a lot better than it was when it first came out. The online didn't even work the first day the demo was out. I'm sure by the 18th, valve will have everything running smooth.
 
I like it...Kind of.

The demo is very short even for a demo. Granted i haven't tried it on uber hard or whatever so that would obviously make it last longer. I just hope the final version is long enough to hold my interest.

I really like the graphics. The shadows look great, basically the same engine version used in HL2-EP2, but it looks amazing considering the age of it.
 
Try playing it on the hardest setting with 2 mates, kill the NPC that takes the 4th character. Then you will really have a challenge!

play it on expert and online for the best experience, anything other and its over too quickly ... ive played about 9-10hrs so far just on the two small starter maps (i believe they are bigger in the full release) and i havent got bored yet due to the game mechanics and Director AI ...

Trying playing expert with a team of randoms/noobs and keep restarting when you all get destroyed :)

Even better, try taking on a tank with a team of noobs on expert

The demo has held my interest only because I haven't always played with friends and when you join randoms who aren't very good - it gets interesting!

I also agree with the look of the game, love the engine and they have tweaked the effects to make it very cool, but not groundbreaking.
