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.

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.

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?

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 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.

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...

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.
