The_Decryptor Veteran Posted November 9, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 9, 2008 I've had a couple of sessions like that. You have to play really smart otherwise you'll die over and over again. The game kept throwing boss infected at us, I think in one match we had 2 tanks in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 i wish the pre-order was just 10 bucks now and then the rest on the day it comes out, could get it then. owell though, i can wait a bit longer for its release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scirwode Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I contemplated pre-ordering this but I decided to get NFS: Undercover instead. My reasons were that Left 4 Dead is a game that is best played online and with friends. Currently, one of my friends is busy finishing up his assignment in two weeks time while another is studying in Scotland for his degree. I, on the hand, am busy with work launching a series of advertising and marketing campaigns to do with my company's products. With all of us being too busy even to open Steam at the same time, I decided that I just want a game where I can just relax with during my lunch break or when I get home. I'll still be getting Left 4 Dead, though when I will get it, that's another question altogether :p . Scirwode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clx Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 played a match where 3 times in a row we were given a tank half way down the first building! wiped every time. the swarm of zombies coming from the top AND bottom at the same time didn't help either....

Minifig Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Are what zombies given randomly spawned ? It seems like everyone is having different experiences per map. If so.. that's a great way how to keep people replaying it while they work on new maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sin-ergy Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Are what zombies given randomly spawned ? What? :blink: The AI Director controls the zombies, sounds, etc. The Director is in charge of monitoring the pacing of the game. So, for example, if your team has been bombarded with Infected hordes and bosses, The Director will schedule a break in the action. If your team is chewing through Infected like bubble gum, The Director will send a few Boss Infected your way, and so on. And all of this is done procedurally to insure no play sessions are alike -- there are no triggers, generators, special flags, or other human-placed information in the environment that specify where to place the Infected. As a result, the Survivor team can never predict when or where they will encounter anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minifig Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 What? :blink: The AI Director controls the zombies, sounds, etc. So there's actually someone in control of what zombies pop in? I thought it was randomly controlled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sin-ergy Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 ^ It's controlled by the AI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konstanov Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 So me and the wife were playing this together, which raised a question. Why does expert demand to be played with 4 players, because every time we tried playing together we were effectively ass raped by tanks whenever we decided to take the empty magazine out and put the new one or just ran out of painkillers. It's more like a prison simulator than a video game judging by how many times you get ass raped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sin-ergy Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 ^ You know you like it :p Speaking of rape, doesn't the hunter look like a rapist? Got the hoodie and all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should see all the tards on the steam forums complaining that it's "too easy" and that they should nerf all the weapons and the melee. "Hey I played the first to easiest levels in the first campaign for 20 hours straight and it's too easy, nerf everything!" We usually have someone limping by the first safe room and often die on the subway part in expert with 4 people who have played it a lot and this is only the first two parts of the campaign!

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted November 9, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 9, 2008 Is the hunter the one in the intro video who is like running around Parkour style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted November 9, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 9, 2008 Is the hunter the one in the intro video who is like running around Parkour style? I think so. Was it wearing a hoodie? If it was then it probably was the hunter. By the way, the hunter can only lunge forward and jump really high. You can play as the hunter in the demo with a couple of commands. Click here for the commands. It only works in singleplayer mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurmoth Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 If sv_cheats is turned on, can't players just type in god 1 to make themselves invinsible? That takes all the fun out of it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denis W. Veteran Posted November 11, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 11, 2008 Question to those who've played this and TF2. Is this game just as fun or even more so than TF2? Looking at all the posts in here I'm considering getting it late December when they have Christmas season pricing or whatnot. Picked up this video as a Facebook posted item, check out this fail: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted November 11, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted November 11, 2008 That jumps pretty funny, and I find Left4Dead much more fun, might just be because I love zombies, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
