Left 4 Dead

[BreakABone]

Or the next game for team GT 360.

It has 4 player co-op. And I believe 8 player VS.
It is survival horror and you must work together as a team.
Randomly generated enemy horde.
And I hope a discounted price.

[Combine 017]

This game is going to be sweet. Go Valve! But some weird company is developing the 360 one but it should still be good.

[BlueFire]

Wow, that looks great. I'm planning on getting a 360 soon, maybe I'll pick this up.

[Zen]

I must say, this looks pretty interesting, people seem to have kind of superhumanly jumps, but whatever, I love zombies....running ones are scary though.

[BreakABone]

Nice.
3 new recruits to the campaign.
My plan is coming together.
Purr-fectly.

[BreakABone]

Some more information since looked at the rest of GT's videos.

n the deathmatch "Versus" mode, four additional players can take control of powerful Infected with unique abilities, amongst the other AI-controlled Infected. The playable Infected numbers are limited so players must select their preferred Infected and wait for it to spawn, with the Tank as the exception — it's only playable a few times during each scenario. The Infected have the ability to see survivors through the walls at a certain range if the survivors are running, with the flashlight on, or talking. The Infected can also see in the dark, unlike the Survivors. Infected spawn ahead of the Survivors and can, if they stay still, see a marker for their likely path of advance so they can set up ambushes. Throughout levels, Infected-only ways up buildings are marked with symbols. These can be climbed and used for ambushes, especially with the Infected immunity to falling damage

Xbox 360 version

The Xbox 360 version of Left 4 Dead has different game modes from the PC version — co-op (2-4 players), online death match (2-8 players) and Co-op versus (4 versus 4). The game supports split screen and system link play.[9] Also, the quick key voice commands have been removed in favor of the Xbox Live headset

[magus113]

If I don't get a 360 by the time this comes out I'll be hitting up Steam for a copy of this.

Looks very interesting.

[Angrist]

Looks very cool, if it's not very expensive I might get it for PC.

[flunkie44]

PC here. :)

[magus113]

Hey Grist and Flunkie, do you guys have Steam accounts? If so PM me your e-mails so we can get some CS or TF2 going.

[KillerGremlin]

They have some competition, zombie panic source is tons of fun for the PC.

In fact...as great as Left 4 Dead looks, Zombie Panic Source has served as a great source of enjoyment for me the times I have played it. The obvious perks are that in ZP:S the humans play as zombies, so you see some interesting strategies. It's also tons of fun to be working with 16 other people, which I have seen. It's just a very social and fun game to play.

[Angrist]

[RoachGnome]

I hope its not like George Romero's City of the Dead cause that game sucked!!! It does look like it.

[Angrist]

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=249120

There will be a playable demo. Yay.

[Angrist]

The demo will be out on October 31 (halloween or so I've been told). Who's going to play it? Would be nice to get some games going. :)

I'll be playing the PC demo.

[KillerGremlin]

This looks far more enticing than Fallout 3,. I still think they need to make a game with slow zombies though...zombie panic source was a lot of fun because the Zombie's had speed limitations, it kind of evened the playing field. And, the reality is in a real post-Apocalyptic world ammo is not going to be easy to find. I want a game like Romero's Dawn of the Dead, one where you have to use your environment and improvise to survive.

But, left 4 dead still looks like a lot of fun. Might as well post this intro video they just released:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Nbzyt79iSR0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Nbzyt79iSR0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

[Angrist]

Looks like they had to delay the demo. :(

By the way, I don't see myself paying €45 for this.

[KillerGremlin]

By the way, I don't see myself paying €45 for this.

I don't either. It's a mod. Albeit...a really well developed, polished, and epic mod...but a mod. I plan on picking it up sometime during or after the Christmas holiday season. In the mean time I have school and other things to keep me distracted.

I have to say though, if its quality is on par with Counter-Strike and TF2, then it will be a blast to play and will have tons of replay value.

[BreakABone]

Well the demo is out on PC and 360.
Not sure about PC, but I know 360 you need a special code for.

Right now playing single player since my Xbox list either doesn't have it or is busy playing GoW 2.

[Angrist]

Did you preorder it? That should be the only way to play the demo already.

[BreakABone]

Did you preorder it? That should be the only way to play the demo already.

Poor naive Angrist.

To think I do anything by the book.

But no I didn't pre-order.

[uber_paddler]

Poor naive Angrist.

To think I do anything by the book.

But no I didn't pre-order.
Nor did I. It's mad fun, though. There's nothing quite like 4-player zombie busting action.

[Angrist]

I'm afraid that any 'unofficial' demo downloads will interfere with my Steam account... Can you shed a light on this?

I think I'll just wait till the demo is on Steam, so I can play it with buddies.

[KillerGremlin]

They have Left 4 Dead billboards in downtown Chicago in the Ohio/Grand area (by the Rock and Roll McDonalds/Hard Rock Cafe/Rock Bottom/Pizzeria Uno, etc). The billboards are really cool.

[Fox 6]

Earl was nice enough to give me a code. This is a fun game.

[Angrist]

It's for public download now anyway.
Installed it, haven't played it yet.

[Fox 6]

I got the code and was able to dowload last week though.

[BreakABone]

I got the code and was able to dowload last week though.

And oddly you have avoided playing with me since than. :lol:

[Combine 017]

And oddly you have avoided playing with me since than. :lol:

Your the one whos been to busy playing gears and sports games to play with us. Ive invited you to play but your all like "I am Earl, blah, time to play lame sports games"

[BreakABone]

Your the one whos been to busy playing gears and sports games to play with us. Ive invited you to play but your all like "I am Earl, blah, time to play lame sports games"

Whoa.. I never ever play sports games that don't feature mascots or is branded with wrestling.

If you ever seen NBA 2k9 or Madden 09, its my brother borrowing my harddrive when I'm at work.

I have been busy playing Gears however. ;)

[Angrist]

Played the demo. Was fun. I assume it gets harder every time? Because this was too easy.

I bet it's way more fun with some friends and headsets. (I have a headset, but I don't care much about talking to strangers... and nobody else used one.)

Edit: Dolby surround sound REALLY helps.

[Combine 017]

Played the demo. Was fun. I assume it gets harder every time? Because this was too easy.

Did you turn up the difficulty? Because expert is certainly not easy.

[uber_paddler]

Did you turn up the difficulty? Because expert is certainly not easy.
Amen to that.

[Angrist]

I did 2 quick matches, which were supposed to find people with similar skills. I assumed it would automatically notch up the difficulty too. I think I read that somewhere, months ago.

[uber_paddler]

Well if the AI Director notices that you and your comrades are kicking some serious ass it will increase the difficulty a little, but you have to manually adjust it to see any major difference.

[BreakABone]

Amen to that.

You, me, flunkie and combine sure got far on expert.

That damn Tank would always appear in the most cramped spaces.

Than it just turned into a killing each other frenzy.

[Swan]

I have come so close to beating the demo on expert with Combine and others. Just the friggin tanks destroy most of the team and hunters finish us off

[Swan]

Anybody else picked this up?



So much fun. Played through the first set of levels on the versus mode today. Haven't had that much fun in awhile. Actually had a good group and we dominated the other team. It is fun playing as the infected though I have one gripe. It is was easy to kill the hunters and smokers, especially when you are one. One shot basically kills you and then you are done and have to wait another 20 seconds to spawn.

[Fox 6]

You have too many new games, that thing is going to happen when you dont finish any of them :P

[Swan]

You have too many new games, that thing is going to happen when you dont finish any of them :P

Quiet you!

[BreakABone]

You have too many new games, that thing is going to happen when you dont finish any of them :P

What thing?

And I was so Pissed. I went to gamestop around the corner from my job to see if they had. They did, but told me couldn't buy unless had it pre-ordered which was fair enough. They then turn around and tell me if I pre-order another game they may find a copy for me, what the hell type of crap is that!

Long story short, didn't get yet.

[Angrist]

The demo gave me nightmares. And I never planned on getting it anyway... Too much violence and gore for me. Which is a shame, because I really really love this kind of game.

[Combine 017]

Thats kind of contradictory isnt it?

You love a first person zombie shooter but dont like the inevitable violence that comes with it?

Thats the best part about zombie games though because it gives you a reason as to why their heads and limbs blow off, and that reason is, because their zombies.

[Angrist]

Yeah it's contradictory. And then again, it's not. Some part of me likes them, but another part knows they're no good for me. So I'll be strong here and not play this game anymore.

[thatmariolover]

I'll probably be buying it, but I haven't decided if it will be for 360 or PC yet.

My friend and I played split screen co-op on the PC version (which is unsupported but can still be accessed using console commands) last night with 360 controllers on my new TV. It pretty much sold me.

[Angrist]

Can you play half splitscreen, half online? Two of my friends might get this, would be nice if we could play with 3 people on 2 Boxes.

[Combine 017]

Its up to 2 players online and off on one console. So yes you can bring a guest on and play online with other people, id assume system link would work like that as well.

[BreakABone]

I know it is a part of the game, but wish you could turn off friendly fire on some encounters.

Only so often, i could run in front of Combine's gun. ;)

[Combine 017]

Haha, it was your fault for getting in between me and those boxes.

Haha, it was your fault for getting in between me and those boxes.

We were in a safe room, who expects their partner to be shooting in a SAFE room. :p

That's why I destroyed your crate. ;)

[Swan]

If you remember correctly it wasn't that safe

[BreakABone]

If you remember correctly it wasn't that safe

That was AFTER the fact, and yeah.. we now know. :lolz:

[thatmariolover]

Generally if I'm in front I leave crouch toggled. It cuts down on friendly fire deaths by quite a bit.

[BreakABone]

Just finished a game with Combine, and Dylflon's other half, and it was pretty fun.

We completed Death Toll and then No Mercy... somewhat.. we get to the end with 4 team members, and one by one they all get picked off... I just kind of jump for the helicopter to make sure one person survives. :lol:

RIP Team Combine, Dylflon Alternate and Mike or something. :p

[Combine 017]

You bastard...

[Fox 6]

Did mini Dylflon have a mic?

[BreakABone]

Did mini Dylflon have a mic?

Indeed he did, so we got to hear all of their breaks... their quite frequent breaks. :lolz:

And best of all, well as far as I know there was no lag or dropped connections for two complete campaigns. :D

[Fyacin]

Generally if I'm in front I leave crouch toggled. It cuts down on friendly fire deaths by quite a bit. Was reading through the thread and I have to reiterate this. I would honestly play a dwarf if it gave me that option because crouching is so usefull.

[Soviet Stinger]

Some real bastards at Mercy tonight eh :\

And so my rep drops further

[Bond]

That was lllame.

[Fox 6]

They kept saying you could move the ting out of the way, which I seriously doubt. Plus one of them sounded like they were like 12 years old. Guess we just have to be satisfied with the fact that we kept kicking their butts as infected :lolz:

And that was priceless when you asked if the door shortcut really worked, only to find it already opened :P

[Fyacin]

Haha, I was playing some LAN and they tried that door shortcut. It took them so long that us special infected pretty much destroyed them. It would have been better for them if they just activated the lift.

[BreakABone]

Haha, I was playing some LAN and they tried that door shortcut. It took them so long that us special infected pretty much destroyed them. It would have been better for them if they just activated the lift.

I guess it depends.
Fox was pretty good with it, 3 of us attacked while he hammered away at the door. We watched his back and what have you.

And let's face fact, the other team was kind of bad. We were beating them by a ratio of 10:1.

[Bond]

Maybe they blocked the elevator because we used that door trick...

[Fox 6]

Id doubt it. Ive seen the door trick used a lot. I think it depends more on the person being a juvenile wiener or not.

[BreakABone]

I got some advice on another forum, but it seems the easiest way to get past it is either to blow up a boomer near it or work with some type of explosive (gas tank or pipe bomb)

[Fyacin]

It was very entertaining. They were all screaming at the guy pounding at the door to get it open while he was assuring them that he had in fact done this before, as we kept dragging them out and "boomer"ing them.

[Bond]

We should send Fox out in style with a L4D night.

[BreakABone]

Maggypie and myself are about to hop on.
There's a Dylflon on, but not sure which it is and neither is responding so if anyone else cares to join.

[Fox 6]

We should send Fox out in style with a L4D night.

Well oyu better make sure its a good one. I got 4 lates nights this semester. Mon - Thurs

[Bond]

Let's go for 6 pt / 8 ct.

[Bond]

More L4D or TF2?

[Fox 6]

I could go either.

[Bond]

TF2!

[Fox 6]

in 10 mins

[Soviet Stinger]

Ahh man I wish my 360 wasn't bricked...should be back in mere days though.

[Combine 017]

Ahh man I wish my 360 wasn't bricked...should be back in mere days though.

You threw a brick at your 360?
Maybe that will teach you to control your temper while playing games.

[TheSlyMoogle]

Perhaps this has already been said but... I'm disenchanted by the fact that the zombies stomp on you instead of eat you. That's all.

[Fox 6]

They're tenderizing you, so they can consume you later

[Combine 017]

Perhaps this has already been said but... I'm disenchanted by the fact that the zombies stomp on you instead of eat you. That's all.

Technically they are not zombies, they're infected.

[Dylflon]

Adam, want to maybe do system link at your place tonight?

[Fox 6]

I can see doing that, but we can only have 4 people playing.

[Soviet Stinger]

Cheaters never win, hah.

[Combine 017]

Cheaters never win, hah.

Wrong thread. Theres a new one for all our online business.
And yes, they really sucked to have cheated and still lost.

[Fyacin]

Got the no healing achievement the other night. I was actually surprised since I used a few pain pills, but they don't seem to matter.

[Fox 6]

Fixed an exploit where the Witch could be woken up and tricked into attacking Survivors

We still haven't even got a TF 2 update. :lolz: :(

[Fox 6]

I dunno if I like them removing the ability to free a survivor from the smoker by bashing them. That was my bread and butter for freeing close smoker victims :(

[Swan]

NO! BASTARD!



Now how am I supposed to confuse the survivors if I can't piss off the witch

[Typhoid]

Thank God.
Now I think the game will be at least a little more fair.

[Soviet Stinger]

No more meleeing smoker tongues off?

Just as planned.

[Fyacin]

Since its not like permanent health ( dissipates over time) i dont think it counts

Yeah. They do help though.

[BreakABone]

Well, I guess this is exciting news for PC and Xbox gamers.

The first L4D DLC — dubbed the L4D Survival Pack -- is due for release this spring and introduces a new multiplayer game mode entitled, Survival, plus two complete campaigns for Versus Mode . A Critic's Choice Edition of the game will be heading to retail stores this spring, and will include access to all the content introduced in the L4D: Survival Pack.

In addition, for PC gamers and aspiring developers, the first Left 4 Dead release for the Source Software Development Kit (Source SDK) will allow the creation of custom Left 4 Dead campaigns that will be discoverable via L4D's matchmaking system. The SDK update is also due for release this spring, and is free of charge to all owners of L4D on the PC.

http://www.l4d.com/

I assume the two new maps are just the ones missing from Versus.
Curious about new mode though.

[Fyacin]

Sounds excellent.

[Swan]

Combine, Fox and myself just got 2nd Campaign on expert.





And I am starting to hear the music cues from the game in real life now

[Bond]

Wait until this weekend to do the others!

[BreakABone]

Ahh as most would have suspected.
The new arenas are Death Toll and Dead Air for Versus.
Survival is just what it sounds like. You try to rack up points by staying alive while being assaulted by wave after wave of the Horde.

[Fox 6]

Death Toll and No Mercy done on expert :D

[Bond]

The recently announced Left 4 Dead Survival pack for the Xbox 360 and PC will be free, Valve announced today. - Kotaku
Wooo!

[Dylflon]

Anyone know when 360 gets the patch?

[Fyacin]

Wooo!

Double Woooo!

[Swan]

FUCK YES!

[Combine 017]

Anyone know when 360 gets the patch?

Obviously when the Survival Pack comes out, durrr.

[Fox 6]

Has pros and cons. But more pros!

EDIT: Also got the Man vs. Tank achievement. (thanks to some gracious teammates)

[Combine 017]

Ill do the same for you next time, be the bait that it chases!

[TheSlyMoogle]

So don't remember where I saw it, but apparently the next patch with 2 new campaigns and shit for L4D is going to be free? If true Valve is badass.

[Angrist]

Didn't you see it here? Was posted before I think. :)

[Jonbo298]

Left 4 Dead, $25! NO EXCUSES (this weekend only)

http://store.steampowered.com/news/2239/

Sadly, I've been holding off and just forgetting. I'll definitely get it tonight.

PROFESSOR!


YOU BETTER GET THIS!

[Fox 6]

PROFESSOR!


YOU BETTER GET THIS!

$25 on computer, which he doesnt obviously play on.


Dont even have to click the link to figure that out :P

[Angrist]

Hah this is tempting, but I'm gonna be strong here.

[Dylflon]

Obviously when the Survival Pack comes out, durrr.

That's a long time to wait for the patch that PC already got.

That's a long time to wait for the patch that PC already got.

Pretty short when you consider we haven't gotten a single Orange Box update yet. :(

That's a long time to wait for the patch that PC already got.

Its in about a month or so, thats not that long.

But I want people to stop cheating noooooow.

But I want people to stop cheating noooooow.

What happened to you tonight?

You said you were almost home, then nothing..........

[Fox 6]

I got the All 4 dead achievement last night. used the car in the alley on the very first level of No Mercy to kill 3 of them, and just hit the 4th to death :P

[Fyacin]

My brother took out my whole team with a car like that once. Was incredibly irritating.

[Fox 6]

but hilarious

[Fyacin]

For him maybe. Lol.

Details on the DLC for the game.

Seems like we get modified Death Toll/Dead Air for Versus, which we knew.

Survival sounds intriguing.
And a new level for Survival called Lighthouse.

PC gaming does it again. And just after we got the most recent patch :lol:

http://store.steampowered.com/news/2337/

Versus Mode Changes


Tank melee attack can now hit multiple Survivors in one swing

Fixed Tank punch being able to hit targets behind walls

Fixes to 'Tank parking'. The Tank will now run back and attack the Survivors if he becomes AI due to two players expiring the frustration meter

Fixed a case where a Tank frustration meter could run out right as he was in his death animation and he would come back to life

Fixed a case where the Tank was moving too slowly while crouching and being shot

Tanks now have the possibility of spawning in a slightly different position for the first and second teams

The order that the teams play as Survivors is now determined by which team has the higher overall score. The winning team will play as Survivors first

The Smoker tongue can now target and grab victims through common infected

Increased the cone in which a Smoker can grab a target

The Witch no longer cuts Smoker tongues in a radius around her

Boomers that explode in mid-air will now hit Survivors directly below them with Bile

Reduced the damage that burning Hunters do to pounced victims

Adjusted the time at which players take over from bots to avoid 5 seconds of the bot standing idle while the player finishes connecting.

Fixed some cases where versus score was not being recalculated properly. It is no longer beneficial to pass pills between players at the end of the round or heal other players and then shoot them

Fixed a case where it was possible to spectate an AI infected and hit +use to take them over


Server Changes

Added convar sv_gametype that allows server operators to limit the types of games that will start on their server. Default value is 'coop,versus'. Can be changed to just 'coop' or just 'versus' to limit to those game types


General changes

Fixed a case where players would join as a dead Survivor when a living Survivor was still available

Fixed a case where restarting a level due to the team dying would give more than the max primary ammo on restart

Fixed the speaking icon showing up on the local player during level transition if voice_vox was set to 1

The scoreboard now shows the numeric value of a player's ping


GameUI

Quick match will now try to match to any campaign. Removed the preference to match to games according to the player progressing through all campaigns

Games in a finale are now joinable via the Friends and Steam Group games list

I forsee many hours spent at Dylans.

Well, many more - anyways.

[Dylflon]

Oh wait! That release date is perfect.

It comes out the day my last school project is due!

Which means that it won't distract me but rather comes as a delicious reward for all my hard work.

Like 20 minutes of footage.
Survival looks intense. Within two minutes, there seems to be 2 tanks, and according to preview within 4 minutes you have already toppled 4 and it gets faster as you go.

[BreakABone]

Sweet the new pack is up.
And pretty tiny. ONly 101 MB

Edit~
Just hopped on and there is a ranking for time and some people have already passed 30 minutes on some maps. Haha.

[BreakABone]

So just made 5 minutes in the drains.
4 tanks in that time. Haha

And they block off some glitches. Haha

[Typhoid]

I can't wait to play this tomorrow.

Dylflon and I were having a debate at the end of Death Toll, do you or do you not say aboot?

Me, personally?

Who the fuck says "aboot"?
We're not all newfies.

It sounds like aboot when you talk.. at least to me.
The rest of them say about.

Three Dog, the only time you've ever heard me talk we were both drunk.
Probably not the best judge of speaking ability, nor listening ability.

The first step to stopping the problem is admitting that you have one.

Not true my friend.
The first night I met you, I was sober at least. You were at the bar for a while so who knows.
Also during sushi/bubble tea/L4D I assume you were sober... I hope.

No you were shouting Aboot!
:p

[Typhoid]

No you were shouting Aboot!

Well that's just idiotic.
Aboot isn't even a word, Earl.
I don't know whether to mock americans, or blacks.
I don't know who you're hurting more.:p

[BreakABone]

So I was playing this game last night with two people who to protect their identity we say call Senni and Naes, and we get to the grand finale in VS and suddenly my entire team disappears. :(

I was playing last night with my girlfriend, and we got like 100 invitations to join random xbox live parties, then we got to the final house in the final stage of Death Toll an then Francis and Bill decided to get themselves killed and we lost.

:P

That wouldn't have happened if you joined one of 100s of party invitations than you could have had other living, breathing people to watch your back.

And than you ditched us when we went to play Versus!

[Dylflon]

Earl, remember that annoying guy we played with?

Oh man.

NES remake of L4D

[TheSlyMoogle]

Lol awesome. Where are the hunters and smokers?!

[Angrist]

I used to hate those kind of NES games.

Although Jurassic Park on the GameBoy was doable.

[Szymon]

Lol awesome. Where are the hunters and smokers?!

I assume they'd only be in the two player version, as there would be nobody to save you.
