Well I think this will be a fun game for a quick blast of shoot everything that moves and if it doesn't move shoot it until it moves and then shoot it a bit more just to be sure.
Had a quick go on the offline training thingy and enjoyed it.
I do exactly what the little voices tell me to.

PC Specs:- Black box with some fans that go whirrr, a few lights, things inside that get warm, headphones, keyboard (a clicky one), mouse (with buttons and no squeak), disks (2-off SSD and HDD) and a monitor of sufficient proportions.

Server up but it's still a bit broken (Valve are new to this server stuff you see :sideways:)

Lexander and I had a blast of this earlier with another chap and it was great fun. Will try and have a better go soon. Don't know what happened to you GhostMjr ;)

Yes had a quick go last night with Lib, Rizzy and GM.
Apart from Lib welding GM out so he couldn't get through at the start :roflmao:, GM running off and getting creamed , Rizzy shooting everything that moves with his shotgun including us :doh:, and the game upping itself to hard setting, it was good fun :D.
Definitely not a run in and shoot everything game, needs some good team work and tactics to get through the levels and I like the ability to drawn on the map to illustrate what you're on about.
 
Another go this evening before L4D2 lads? Get you comms sorted GM!

Cheers Toby, last night was an absolute hoot!

They've clearly picked up some tips from the L4D team on how to enable 'panic mode' for maximum laughs :D

Oh did you slip and cut yourself? They can be a bit tricksy!
 
It is a good game and you must have at least three players but it gets very tough towards the end.
Pity there is only the one campaign at the moment but I'm sure more will arrive.

Its tough anyway, when playing on Hard...

I write down everything I want to remember. That way, instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what it is I wrote down, I spend the time looking for the paper I wrote it down on.

Anyone still playing this one?

It's free and I like it.
