mjdgoldeneye Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I think there was another thread for this game, but it's long gone and largely irrelevant. Who has this? Anyone want to get together and play? (I've got it on Xbox 360.) For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, L4D is a zombie survival shooter game from Valve (Team Fortress, Half Life, Portal, etc.). It's awesome... If GoldenEye 007 wasn't my favorite game and Resident Evil 4 wasn't my favorite zombiesque game, L4D would possibly be up in those spots...
jagilki Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I've got it. Haven't really played it yet though, so unsure if I want to go online yet. May want to play a few single player games to get the controls down.
Moe Hunter Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 My house is frequently host to some 4player system link zombie killing madness
Thomnipotent Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I have it, MJD, and we're already LIVE friends. Although I'd really like to play some CivIV with you sometime, I'd be down for some L4D as well. Hit me up sometime.
infinitywpi Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I rented it and will probably be blasting zombies in the early hours of 2009. PeersRPGNet if you're interested.
joose2001 Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Ive had it since release, damn awesome If anyone wants to add me for brain eating madness, gamertag is joose2001 (on 360) (tho say who you are, lmao)
Crychon Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I have it, though, I've got the PC version, not the X-Box 360 one.
infinitywpi Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Got to play this last night / this morning. Wow. That is... fun stuff. With the exception of the super-fast zombies, Romero would be proud. Altho I do agree with Zoey. "They shouldn't be that fast. I'm calling zombie bull**** on that one." Only got to play a little multi-player so far, but it was kinda fun. Maybe if I had played that chapter before I'd've been more comfortable. That farmhouse is a pain to defend. The worst combination of things to see in your subtitles window: Boomer Rage Hunter Alert Tank Alert Witch Moan ... seriously, at that point, I was rolling my eyes. Stupid dungeon-master AI...
G-Prime Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I've got it on PC, so far have only played it Single Player, and died because of AI stupidity... Also, a word of warning... Apparently you can't hurt the witch until you startle her. I thought I'd be smart and throw a molotov at her while she was crying... Did no damage. I shot her, she mauled me, my party ran into the safehouse.
infinitywpi Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Altho on the 360, there is an achievement for setting her on fire with a molotov, regardless of damage or not. And another if you can kill her with a single headshot. dunno how that works, tho. Sniper rifle, maybe.
joose2001 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Done it once.... walk up to her with a shotgun, point it at her head... shoot and hope her brains are splattered everywhere
Crychon Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Altho on the 360, there is an achievement for setting her on fire with a molotov, regardless of damage or not. And another if you can kill her with a single headshot. dunno how that works, tho. Sniper rifle, maybe. Yeah, those same achievements are there in the PC version as well.
ShadowedFlames Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 MJD--I have this game as well. Should already be on your contacts list. ShadowedFlames for anyone else. Feel free to ask if I'm online--if I'm not too caught up with whatever I have planned I'll join in.
infinitywpi Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Got a chance to do multiplayer. ... holy freakin' crap, is that intense. I have never before had to shout, "No, leave me! Just go!" and been able to actually mean it...
Thomnipotent Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Was just playing. Had an "alert the horde" moment. Heard the witch. Tossed a molotov. It went a bit far. "You have startled the witch!" And then I got the Burn the Witch achievement. Wonderful, wonderful accidents. XBL: megamegathom
Moe Hunter Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I have it, MJD, and we're already LIVE friends. Although I'd really like to play some CivIV with you sometime, I'd be down for some L4D as well. Hit me up sometime. Another game I play multi in my own house - just had a good 2 day LAN of CivIV here. It's alot of fun in between waiting for people to finish their turns! lol
Comradebot Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I've only started recently playing this, though amazing game. Would be better if I could actually SURVIVE a finale. No matter what I do, I always end up becoming the zombies bitch at the end. At Blood Harvest, I was on the ramp to the truck... and a Tank literally dropped right infront of me, and proceeded to propel me backwards into the horde. Naturally, everyone else ran to safety while I died brutally. :-(
joose2001 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I usually play with a crew that Ive met from the game, have had some hilarious moments.... as we usually play "for a laugh" Moments of stupidity include.... Not leaving the Safe Room at the start for about 15 minutes Team Killing a random guy who joined our team after one of our crew got DC/ed Teabagging everything and everyone in sight And finally, pure stupidity of locking the Tank in the level end Safe Room with us :-)
mjdgoldeneye Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 Here's a bit of WTF: I joined a friend who was playing as the infected with 3 other friends, so I was on the survivors. It was the last level of Blood Harvest. The guys on my team were doing really badly, and were really slow. They'd move 10 feet and my friends would attack with their guys and they'd fall back 8 feet... So, I just decided to run as far ahead by myself as I could to force them to hurry up and draw the specials after me. It worked, and I managed to hold of the first tank in the house mostly by myself as Zoey... I and another guy get into the escape vehicle, and I hear the tank coming again... It was scary... He gets INTO the escape vehicle and starts punching us down. The other 2 guys get in, the door closes, and the drive off... The tank slides out throw the closed vehicle door and we escape!! It'd be funnier if we took the tank with us... They'd let us out in a safe zone and the tank would come out and spread the infection there!
djthefunkchris Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 My son bassically masters all these types of games, if anyone wants to look him up, or needs some help (he's very helpfull). xBIGJAMESx is his handle.
The_Widow_Maker Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Awesome game got it for the PC, apparantly there gonna release some free content packs with new maps and weapons.
angeldelayette Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I just purchased this game for the PC. Yes, I know, I know, I'm late. But it's a lot of great fun, I must say and I've even only played it for a few hours today!
jesterx7769 Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I agree it is awesome, I love how it is more of an action/shooter game than a horror game, just enough horror to keep in you into but not enough to make you piss yourself, love the intensity!
eayragt Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 It does indeed rock. But strangely my favourite Zombie game is currently Plants vs Zombies. Sure, it's just a souped up version of Tower Defense, but it absolutely rocks.
Moe Hunter Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 It occurs to me that I neglected to mention I have LIVE... If anyone wants to add me, get to some Zombie killing, hit me up on XBL: Morgneto
