Ignoring jeffMOD's attempt at trying to force me to think logically. (How dare you!)
Sorry... :|
Obviously you've never heard of our friend Caffeine.
It's only temporary, though. And not healthy in 500000+ mg doses.
L4D does seem REALLY good though. Makes me wish my steam accound didnt crash while updating.

Left 4 Dead has been in production for a while, your posts are from 2008.

Am I missing something ?
Posted 16 years ago2008-11-11 22:53:04 UTC Post #258410
No. I just have sucky internet so i don't stay up to date as well as everyone else. (Before everyone on TWHL started talking about it, my last update on it was when it was third party.

Yeh I know AT. Tank you can but just don't bother with the witch. Shes too fast and too hard a hitter.

I played an expert campaign online, and I gotta tell ya, that witch does not forgive those who disturb her. One hit kills are terrifying things.

What annoys and awes me is that when she does kill, she runs off screaming, then rests down somewhere. Like this one time, we can hear the witch in the subway tunnel and we all pass by silently except for one fool who doesn't bother to turn off his flashlight or slow down. He gets sliced up and she runs off, so I go back to one of the respawn points and as it turns out the damn witch has stopped RIGHT BY IT. Needless to say, I didn't bother.

The AI continues to amaze me. As does the randomness. AI director FTW!

By the way JeffMOD, I think hydeph was talking to satchmo. Of course, hydeph neglected to clarify who he was directing his comment to, so I'm not completely sure?

Tanks and witches suck.

A tank on fire, however, is hilarious.

would it help if there was a TWHL compo for L4D mapping? and the good maps at the end are all strung together into a campaign or something?

So, I played it.. it was neat I guess. Its pretty much how a zombie like shooter should have been created. I'ts pretty cool.. Cons would be I never liked the chosing your weapon parts, thought that was kinda stupid, I wish you could have them all at once, but whatever.. the mapping was also very basic, I seen alot of plain cubes, feels a bit rushed.. anywhos I give it a 4/5 Because it is fuckin' awesome!

I love that compo idea so much I wanna have sex with it.

I like the 3 weapon system. Its more realistic, not carrying around a stockpile makes more sense to me. As for the mapping, it is a well known fact that official maps are always basic. As with L4D you also have to take into account the number of models there are on screen at some points.

What really makes me happy is that L4D runs better than expected on my five years old system, and i enjoyed my first time play.

I think im gonna get L4D. :D
Posted 16 years ago2008-11-12 19:57:18 UTC Post #258454
A 5 year old system should really support source if you think about it...
My old computer was older, it didn't support source, but a gig of RAM and a slightly updated but STILL AGP gfx fixed it...
Posted 16 years ago2008-11-12 20:31:30 UTC Post #258455
Yeah, well, i upgraded some of its components in those 5 years.

I'm with Muzz on this one. My PC is a 4 year old, single core system and runs L4D reasonably well in comparison to most of todays titles.

I already pre-ordered so I'm glad I enjoyed the demo today.

Damn it.

Play.com may be the cheapest option but it turns out I gotta wait until the 21st. Thats a week after the demo dies. D:

Not to mention the fact that a limited supply of heavy firepower adds a LOT to the tension (although i've only ever run out of primary ammo once in the demo.)

Yeh, you really gotta becareful with the ammo, especially on the advanced and expert difficulty. Its all fine and dandy when you got loads to begin with, but you never really notice how fast it drains till you've nearly ran out.

I've played the 360 demo all day today. Console FPS generally sucks, but it'll have to do if I want to play with buddies D:

Never look inside a bathroom if someone tells you to.

certain people know what I am talking about. :rly:

I just played on expert with a frien, it took awhile, but we did it, fuckin' tank. I don't even think we ended up beatin the guy, he just did'nt appear one round.. ...?
Anyways fuckin' awesome.

So ya, any info on when the source, or fgd files will be released, let me know guys.

the Ai manager takes pity on you from time to time, but tanks are normally replaced with a witch in the subway level.

ATDestroy is talking rubbish. Look inside all the bathrooms. It's the right thing to do, no matter what he or Urby might tell you.

Fucking Witch. :(

Anyway, I play as Zoey and my weapon of choice is the hunting rifle. Sure its slow but if you can line it up right you can nail a load of zombies in a row. It also preserves your ammo thanks to its semi-auto fireing.

Its actually pretty boring after some time. I played the demo twice. There must be really something uber news in the next levels because its all the same in those 2 levels.

I've taken a random player every game, and gotten Louis every single game.
I think L4D is trying to make me embrace my inner wigger.

I like playing with randomers cause they don't know about the console commands :) I sure do love spawning 6 witches or making 200 infected charge :D

One time I controlled a hunter and attacked them :D

@raver: Have you played on the Expert difficulty too? It can get pretty intense ;o. Trapt/Strideh/Penguinboy/dewdle can vouch for that.
Posted 16 years ago2008-11-13 19:47:10 UTC Post #258491
I played with tuna hunter and urby ... it was cool for 15 mins. After it, it was all the same. Spawning, waiting for the horde, Hunter: dont open the door, raver opens the door, we get killed, respawn.

You have to admire the irony though.

Huntey and Urb tell me to open door, I open door, Bad thing happens to Urb, and not me.

I was laughing for about 5 minutes.

Posted 16 years ago2008-11-13 20:36:34 UTC Post #258495
I joined up with urb and huntey, and they were messing around with the console, so hunter and urb tell me to go check the toilet (in the level 2 safehouse)

Finding the door closed, (and knowing Urb and hunter) I was naturally suspicious.

So I cautiously opened the door, and a witch jumped up and started screaming....then ran right past me and owned urb, who was standing at the opposite side of the safe room.
Posted 16 years ago2008-11-13 20:36:45 UTC Post #258496
i shot a hole in the wood door'd bathroom in the spawn of the second map, then spawned a Witch through it, while making sure to keep a safe distance.
I ran away and told AT to take a quick look at something cool in the bathroom.
Urby recommended otherwise. Urby got witch'd. karma.
it was all the same. Spawning, waiting for the horde, Hunter: dont open the door, raver opens the door, we get killed, respawn.
We weren't actually playing. we were spawning shit.
