Left 4 Dead
 

The demo is out for everyone today. Two levels of 4 player co-op. It is <u>insane</u>. I waited to play the demo to reserve my judgment, but I had quite a few mark-outs during the 15 minutes I played, so I quickly preordered.

Oh...if anyone wants to play with me, my Steam ID is Jtboomer2. I will gladly play the demo many many times.

Looks like a PS2 game to me.

You are probably looking at an early build demo, or just someone running the demo on low graphics. Valve always makes lower system requirements so more people can play. The game looks fucking amazing. It's the same engine that Valve uses for all their games (Source).

A good preview of the demo.

Just had a go at the demo and really enjoyed it. Gonna go put my preorder in now.

Really fun demo. Some of us should get together on it and get all Dawn of the Dead-ish.

I keep getting hassled to d/l the demo. Maybe I should do it. :mad:

DOWNLOAD THE FUCKING DEMO G!

Can anyone DL it? I have no steam account

Steam accounts are free anyway, so just register for Steam and download it.

Hot Diggity damn!

It's alright. When you get about 50 or more zombies running at you at once it's pretty insane.

Online for the demo will only be uo til Tuesday so hurry. Who cares about World at War, play that whenever.

I am pumped about this game so much. I'm sure them demo is only a glimpse of some of the insanity.

Man, we played some Expert mode and its fucking crazy. Shit hits the fan in an instant! rarely the same play through twice. I love this game, it could be an addiction.

This demo is great. Can't wait for it.

It's fun messing with people who don't want to cooperate.

"Go over there, man. The Witch is crying because she needs your help. You get an extra weapon if you do. Be sure you turn on your flashlight so she knows you're coming and you don't startle her."

...and hilarity ensues.

The Witch is something else.

I love getting the pipe bomb...and then getting to that part where you can set off the car alarm....

all the zombies come out after you and then you throw the bomb around and they just surround that...then BOOM

loved the demo. i think this comes out tuesday? definitely buying it and getting some of that dawn of the dead action going on.

just picked it up, gonna get online tonight.

Gonna buy this shit tomorrow.

Anyway to install this without a steam account? We got it at work and want to play local co op, but just cant do it.

Nope, you need Steam.

What the gay. So there is no way to pirate this game then either I take it?

I see why they do it, but that sucks that we have to buy 10 units to play together.

Oh well, I wont be back there for a bit longer anyways.

The case for mine smells like playdough.

u-warrior im getting online in about 10 minutes and sending a friend request if you ever want to play online. i hate getting into a random game with a bunch of guys who suck and dont know how to cooperate.

Damn this is some fun shit. Can't wait to try versus.

Sweet, yeah.

Shit is ridiculously fun with other people. Played the entire No Mercy campaign, ad it was brilliant. Plenty of teamwork, and holy shit moments. Finales, which are the last stage of the campaigns are fuckng INSANE. Hordes of infected of all variesties are thrown at you.

No Mercy finale takesplace on the roof of the hospital, and ended in true horror movie fashion on my playthrough. First guy to die fell off the side of the platform we were on, and got swarmed. Before we could help him, a tank (which is basicly a zombie incredible hulk) jumped up on our platform. And just like in the movies, the asshole of our group, who wasn't playing cooperatively throughout the game, got the most satisfying death when the tank punched him so hard, he went flying off the side of the building. After that, the chopper came in and we made a break for it, just as the biggest horde yet, came piling in. A hunter pounced on me, and my teamate blasted it off of me. But I had been injured and would need assistance getting back up. But since there were so damn many zombies, I made myself the sacrificial lamb, and told the other guy to go. Tried to shoot as many as I could with my pistol, from the ground, and just as the horde killed me, the other guy made it to the chopper, as the last survivor.

Was prolly one of the greatest multiplayer experiences I've ever had. Just amazing.

Oh, and playing as the zombies in versus takes a little getting used to, but it's mad fun once you do.

the team work aspect is great, i love how you have to cooperate otherwise survival is nearly impossible. but after i ended my game with fignuts i got put into a game with this really controlling chucklehead who kept ordering me to do things.

Yeah, that finale we did was ridiculous. Those other two guys had the right idea tho. They stayed at the house until the boards on the second level got torn down. Then they booked for the dock, where the infected can only reach you from one direction. There's just too many ways for the infected to get to you in the house, once the boards are gone.

the smart dynamic AI really makes this so much fun to play through multiple times too. i mean, i played this afternoon and only got 2 Tanks, but when we played we saw 4.

Getting this tomorrow, I cant wait.

Got it earlier today, but haven't had a chance to play it due to also getting Rock Band 2.

Love this game. Will be on tonight if anyone wants to blast some zombies. Gamertag OKTUR

I would not pay $60 for this game. Fun, but c'mon, too repetitive.

This game is digital crack... I've haven't gone to bed before 2 this week because of it's stupid "one more go" in Vs. mode.
