LEFT4DEAD

I'm disappointed at the relative lack of weaponry and the general flow of the game. Ya, it's great for those "Oh fuck" moments, but I don't really find it all that scary. Maby I'm just a devolved FPS fan, the games have a hard time scaring me in an any way predictable environment... but then again, I found Doom 3 pretty scary...

[Muzic]

Nah, it doesn't feel scary. It especially doesn't feel scary when you play with actual people. Imo, playing with bots gets slightly frightening. Zombie Panic feels scary when you get alone.

Pretty boring.. might be fun together with a few friends

Swift had a point last night; the music cues. They really need to ditch those for expert or something, you never get surprised by a special undead.

Been playing it four player system link and am a bit disappointed really, it's quite fun but isn't the game I hoped it would be. Needs more guns, special zombies, levels etc. Generally more depth to the gameplay. It is fun to play, but I can never find myself wanting to play it continuously for a long time and use 'take a break' quite frequently! I agree that special zombies shouldn't be heralded by a cue, they should just surprise you.

Well Zombie Panic! is plagued by absolute morons who think that stocking all the guns on themselves is a valid tactic and then charging into rooms filled with zombies is better, flooding them with guns and ammo needed for everyone elses survival.

On a l4d note, its a decent game on verses, but it suffers from the 'Team Fortress 2' malady, sure its fun to have acouple games, filled with generous helpings of lulz and pwn. But when you are playing a verses game as a survivor, the AI generator spawns two tanks, two witches and rushes you so many times you couldn't count them, but when its the other teams go as the survivors, they don't get a tank, a witch or more than two rushes against them....well, you get pissed.

Plus the game is riddled with dodgy code, I once watched as a Witch spawned ONTOP of one of my survivor buddies and promptly ripped out their heart. During an AI rush. With a tank coming.

Fucking exploiters.

these kind of glitches plague all of valve's games lol

I've seen zombies spawn within eyesight of players, but never special zombies of any type :/

[lurker]

Eyesight? Pssh. I've had zombies in the normal mode spawn withing punching distance.

[Forboding Angel]

you guys complain too much.

It's fun. Definitely worth 50 bucks, will eventually have more content coming, and it's butter smooth. Whine all you want, but it's a fun game. For some reason you want some deep indepth whooha... DUde it's shittons and shittons of zombies. It's wanton death and destruction... that's kinda the point. Embrace it.

[Teutooni]

Too easy for you?

Try:
z_difficulty Impossible
z_common_limit 100
z_mob_spawn_min_interval_expert 90
z_mob_spawn_max_interval_expert 180
z_mob_spawn_min_size 20
z_mob_spawn_max_size 40
z_special_spawn_interval 45

Will be brutal, so make sure you have a capable team.

[Forboding Angel]

O_O KICK ASS! Thanks Teutooni!

[Neddie]

How high can we turn up the common spawn?

[Forboding Angel]

I cranket it up to 600 last night, as well as making the skirmish thingy much higher...

IT WAS FUCKING GODLY!

i only play it on the xbox but there, with four friends against xbox livbe filth its awesome. its not really frightening unless your the last or going somewhere alone. it hasnt got many guns or types of zomb, but then its not meant to- its slick, arcade action rather than a zombie sim. it does suffer from very random spawns for each team which makes games on sides, but for a while its a fantastic diversion. best played only in short doses, though

[Muzic]

Son of a fucking whore. I saw a zombie spawn sitting down behind a tombstone, so i use the Hrifle to shoot through it; its a witch. God damnit. that was queer. No music, no crying, no nothing. Just a YOU DISTURBED THE WITCH and then the music and then the BRRRAHHHH

[BlackLiger]

Yep. Witches seem to be the only way I get incapacitated.... then again, I did insist on trying to beat one in melee at first.

[REVENGE]

Can this game be done over LAN or do you need to connect through steam/online service/etc.

Yes, and yes.

Personally, I Enjoy L4D, mostly because aside from its rubbish Co-Op mode, its versus mode is like shooting pure lal into your lal-lacking veins.

Playing as an infected, be it hunter, boomer or smoker, you experience any number of epic moments. Jump a guy from on-high as a hunter? Enjoy a pile of damage points. Boomer a guy? AI zombie rape. Smoker a guy off a high-edge? Welcome to dangleville.

Check out ZP, L4d is either a difficult mission or a griefing engine.
