Left 4 Dead

[KKND]

I too think its good fun to play, but you have to play with 3 other live players, or its not as enjoyable as alone with 3 AIs. I agree with OB, its not longevity. But absolutely a good game to play with others, but just not a good single-player game.
Plus, with only four campains, even it its randomized, it gets tiresom after a while.

Indeed i have all chapters done...chapters are a bit short too i think.

I think that this is supposed to be a fun online game to play with mates.
The addition of playing as zombies against humes makes it even more fun.
 
I for one will be starting up a versus server and seeing how many I can get with my long tongue!! :norty:

You can play versus on our server - just set it up from the Lobby

[Soon Jung]

oooooo, then I wanna be a Boomer!! :roflmao:

[Doorman]

Hoorah! Got my copy this morning. I joined using the shortcut to our server. Not sure if it worked properly as there was no 'Welcome to dMw' type thing. Time will tell though. Looks fun.

Can you choose what zombie you spawn as? I joined a game and it seems to select automatically and cycle through them.

Don't think so, unless I've missed something...

Great games last night, hillarious fun.  Even after leaving all talk on, I don't think it detracted too much from the teamwork, if anything it made me more nervous as a survivor since you can hear the zombies plotting your demise but you still have no idea where they are! :lmfao:

I reckon a Versus game on No Mercy should be next, I'm sure I don't have to explain how much fun it is to spawn as a tank and punch people off the roof in the finale.. :boxing:

Yup excellent fun once we all managed to get together (why is it so hard to do that?)

I must admit as a Hunter I am rubbish, I successfully jumped past everyone several times :crying:

But on the other hand, it's always amusing to punish hunters who miss their jumps by beating them to death with the butt of your gun. :devil:

Valve has published the public achievements statistics for co-op zombie shooter Left4Dead, revealing how many players have reached each achievement and how well players are faring.

The statistics only take the PC version into account however as they are pulled directly from Steam and thus ignore the Xbox 360 version of the game.

According to the stats the most popular and easy to get achievement is 'Drag and Drop', which is gained by rescuing an ally from a smoker before they can take damage. On the other hand, nobody has yet managed to bad the 'Zombie Genocidist' award for killing 53,595 zombies total.

The majority of players seem to be having a tough time going up against the AI Director though - only 36 percent of players have finished a campaign (on any skill level) without losing at least one player and less than 20 percent have seen anyone finish the Blood Harvest campaign on any difficulty.

More proof on how hard the game can be can be seen in the more extreme achievements. Only 0.7 percent have survived a finale without taking damage and less than that have completed a campaign without being vomited on. No players have yet to get the 'Lamb 2 Slaughter' for incapacitating a survivor who has entered and left a safe room.

Only 2 percent of gamers have managed to finish any campaign on expert difficulty, with less than 0.2 percent surviving all campaigns.
 
Achievements on the web...

Superb fun tonight. Cheers all

"You grab him with your tongue and I'll puke on him"
"Quick let's all pick on one and go after them"
"I've got him, I've got him, all pile in and stamp on him"

Great fun.

[Carr0t]

Bah, I wanted to join but the missus had other plans By the time I got online everyone had stopped playing.

[sulky_uk]

buying it tonight when pay goes in:D

[DuVeL]

I'm thinking of buying it aswell. Played the demo after a suggestion of Frenzy.
Is play.com still the best for it?
Now awaiting the payment from my boss (who still owes me several 100's of Euros because of working in A'dam).
