Left for Dead - Comments please!

Hey guys, I am now the proud owner of L4D after playing the demo to death I am now doing the same with the full game. I fu**in love this game it is the most fun you can have with your pants on! I have managed to complete all the levels on normal but anything harder is posing a prob at the moment lol. So the reason I posted was anyone got any other impressions, anyone hate it? Any awesome stories? And I need some more steam friends for L4D as well so add orgasmatronuk
Cheers!

I love the game, I only play on expert as all other game modes are to easy. I actually got the achievement for beating all movies on expert "what are you trying to prove" I think it was called.

Dead Air is probly my fav
Blood Harvest was the hardest

Me and a group of my friends I normally play with figured out a really easy way to beat the final level, only problem is having everyone survive 2 tanks. No Mercy seems to toss 4 tanks at us for some reason though, that is hard!

Overall, I love the game and will keep playing it. I look foward to the SDK being released and seeing what custom content gets released. I know a Dawn of the Dead mall map is in the works.

Well, was on vs mode earlier and my team was an unco-ordinated mess, we just couldn't get anything done as either survivors or infected.

Last level came up in no mercy and the other infected jumped ship plus two of the survivors leaving me against 2 players and 2 bots.

Needless to say i don't have to tell who won.






P.S It was me, beating the last guy down with a tank.

It is Left 4 Dead not Left for Dead.

Just wanted to throw in my opinion on the game, based on playing the demo.

It was good fun to do but I had the feeling that this would not keep my attention for more than a few hours, so I have put off buying it till now. I suspect it's just not really my thing.

The demo did not cover versus mode, so can anyone elaborate how that works out, in comparision with other team vs team multiplayer games (counterstrike, something capture the flag, team fortress, etc)?

Versus mode is so much fun but you have to use the in game voip (C). You either get to spawn as a hunter, boomer, smoker, or if you get lucky the tank. They all have a different playstyle and it takes some getting used to. I found that in vs mode as the survivors basically you REALLY have to stay as a tight group, no more that a few metres apart and instead of working your way carefully though you basically leggit before the enemy can position themselves. As the infected its just awesome, I was playing last night on blood harvest unfortunately the survivors were playin well. Although just as they were heading for the apc to escape I snatched one back off the truck playing as a smoker and ripped him a new one, its soo fun especially if you have some mates on the opposing side.
I could see that the levels (which there are plenty of to start with) would get a little repetetive but valve have already said more maps are on the way and there will be loads of custom content. I am still loving this game!

I havent even tried single player btw - meh!

The more friends the better! if anyone wants more L4D chums then add me!
Steam id: orgasmatronuk
nickname: CaptainHero

Not sure which name people need

No need to throw in your steam ID here. Probably better to remove it. Now they only need to hack your password to play some free games or screw your account.

vs mode is best, doing the campaigns are good but require alot of teamwork and you have to avoid the noobs who think dying is fun, i perhaps take it too seriously.

Still, playing the vs is diffcult and more challenging for me, due to how weak you are it takes strategy and tactics to effectively take down for survivors.

I got that achievement "What are you trying to prove" for beating all the movies on Expert =D

VS mode is great fun

I just got Left 4 Dead today, installed it, and have so far only played the first three levels, single player. Basically, I thought it sucked, and I want my money back. I like FPS's, but this is just repetitive. The graphics are nice(1600X1200-everything on extreme), but after awhile, it just gets stale.

I'm extremely disappointed. For me, the game didn't live up to the hype. I'm really hoping multi-player will be better.

The barn is also a good spot in Blood Harvest finale. Top floor, there's isn't many ways to get in there for the zombies. Easier to get out of if needed when the tank comes.

I've seen a team do pretty well in VS No Mercy finale, there's a small hallway with only 2 entrances right under the helipad.

Does LAN work with 1 disc in L4D?

"I've seen a team do pretty well in VS No Mercy finale, there's a small hallway with only 2 entrances right under the helipad"

Im gonna try that, fighting it out on the rooftop can be a pain the a$$. And yeah whenever a tank rolls in you need room to move or you all get flattened quicksmart.....

@ antiacid: Give it a run through on online campaign on normal level, if you complete, try on expert, it is a lot of fun! If you get bored with campaingn try vs mode, that is where the real fun is to be had. Completely different playstyles though. In campaign you can take your time and clear each section, in vs run like fu** and pace it through the level before the enemy players can setup and destroy you...

I'll rephrase my question. Will LAN L4D work with just one cd-key? Assuming both profiles are offline so valve won't see the game installed on multiple computers.

Mine just came in the mail, but it'll be another few hours before I can install and play it - after what everyone here has said, I'm really looking forward to it!

Best game ever. Love it to death.

But on Expert mmy friends and I tend to get a Tank per map. Even the last map. So we get say 5 Tanks + the 2 at the end. So its pretty much 7 Tanks of doom unless we light it on fire and run till he dies.

Clearly,

You are more afflicted by this than I. I'm always down to play games. One post directed towards you doesn't mean anything, sir. It's the Internet.

Very best,

@snarespectre - Add me as a steamfriend and we will try some runs on expert. (orgasatronuk - CaptainHero) Its soo frustrating, Im finding you can fight all the way to the end and then be defeated 5 or 6 times on the last fight then people lose the will to live and bail! The only way to really deal with the tank on expert is to lob a molitov at him and run like hell, if he gets close he can wipe out the team in a matter of seconds....

cr@p sorry typo error - orgasmatronuk.
it has an M!
Captainhero is my nickname. And I will be playin tonite, so will add u! I guess I just search for snarespectre?
Anyone else up for a run through on expert tonight add me as well and we will hopefully get a good group who plays well. Got my akimbo assasin (pistols only) last nite playing thru on easy, god it was too easy!! (good way to get certain achievements tho hehe)

tried adding x3102, and spectre no one found..................... interesting..

Hey guys, I recently got L4D as well. Long time fan of Counter strike, Half life etc etc.

I play on advanced or versus usually. This game is really fun, but I believe it would be SO much better if I could get a decent team!

Anywho, what do you guys need to add me? Or what do I need in order to add you all?

Sorry for jumping in the thread like that, but I really like this game!

You can also play the PC version in split screen coop mode (like the Xbox). Haven't tried it yet, but i've read that you lose the cinematic effects and rain. (though maybe they figured out how to fix that, the thread is 40 pages long, so im not gonna find out any time soon).
