Gaming Left4Dead First Impressions

Steam says it's 3.2 GBs. Took about 40 mins to download at 1.3 MB/s.

 

This game is just fkin brilliant! I'm hooked. Expert mode is the only way to go, you really need to work together to get to the end. The interface and server choosing is pretty rough however, very un-valve. Once you get into a game though it's fantastic. I will never get bored of pipe bombs, or watching a tank smash a concrete column then pick up a chunk and throw it at someone. Epic

 

Team Bit-Tech completed the demo today on Expert! Wooo!

 

Greetings!

Image or it didnt happen!

 

buncha noobs, ill be impressed when you beat it on expert using only melee and explosives
(melee only is actually hilariously fun and surprisingly effective )

 

How effective is melee vs tank on expert?

 

I've been thinking that it would be pretty cool to play as the AI Director. You could get a certain number of hordes, boomers, hunters, and smokers and try and defeat the players battling the zombies. Be almost and RTS. It would definitely add to the replayability. If valve gives access to these types of control in the SDK, that would be a pretty cool mod.

 

There is a mod called zombie master where you can do just that, its quite cool but obviously a little less polished.

 

the demo looks like a valve project great a FPS parridise but so much shooting will it get boring after while?

 

Well Im loving it and well personally I think the demo is pretty good to the point lol I may not buy the game =p

 

Greetings!

Demo ends next Tuesday.

 

I believe the online function of the demo gets axed when the Game gets released

 

oh who cares about the online part lol I for one dont, Im more interested in the single player, thats all I care about so if the online part gets axed ehh no loss to me, I lost my tatse for online based games years ago, to many players who have the mentality of a 6 year old play now and it annoys me to no end so I dont bother with it anymore.

 

Could do with 8 survivors for clan matches (4v4 wont be much fun), random groups online = fail, playing with friends = great. Narrow corridoors = hurm hopefully more open areas ala HL2:EP2 end section in full game.

 

OMG they locked the DEMO completely this is sooo stupid ~_~ they should leave the demo open versus forcing you into buying the game ~_~ ugh.....

 

Greetings!

The public demo was out for a week.

 

You can (currently) launch the demo from the program files directory but if you try to play on line the game complains that the user doesn't own the game.

 

huh didnt work still says I cant launch so do I have to be offline?

 

The full game is totally worth getting, its simply, awesome.

 

im considering buying the valve pack, and having a secondary steam account.
