Sandor Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 i probably will buy it but not for the game itself, just the online component. i own HL1 and HL2 and a stack of mods. i've never actually played the single player in HL1 and i played HL2 for about 20 minutes just to look around. it's all about the mods and online. i'm hoping this game will be good online.

Scirwode Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I've only just played this after having the installed the demo for so long and so far my experience has been a bit mixed. On the upside, the game does throw in a lot of zombies, I've lost count the number of times I nearly died if one of my team mates hadn't fired a shot at the right time in my direction. I do like the fact that your name comes up when you've killed one of the 4 main zombies, such as The Smoker or Witch. However, they're are annoying, especially The Boomer when it explodes on you and all you see in front of you is hordes and hordes of zombies, but it does add to the gaming experience. I also feel the sound effects and ambience are very good, as it instantly reminds me of the Resident Evil games, I made a mistake of playing the game at night and when I heard the cries of The Witch, I chicken out by running away :blush: :laugh: . On the downside, some of the weapons are a bit underpowered in my opinion but that does add to the whole survivor aspect. Also, I have to admit that playing by yourself is no fun at all. This game is best played with your friends, the problem with me though is that most of my friends are either busy studying or busy working :laugh: . It's certainly a game that I would buy in the future, it's just that I seriously do not have the time to enjoy it. Right now, I'm just waiting for NFS: Undercover as I can certainly sneak in some time playing it when I'm working :p .

Denis W. Veteran Posted November 17, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 17, 2008 Played the demo a couple of times, offline and online. My thoughts: - I still get a chuckle out of those movie posters. Just like I was laughing quite hard at the TF2 freezecam shots when I saw them for the first time. :p - I haven't managed to survive through Expert on the second demo level. First time going through it, the game threw a Tank inside the subway car and I went down. Another time, it spawned a witch near the subway cars and I went "hmmmm, let me check out the cor- OH S***!" and got raped. Other times, boomers kept spawning and that took out my team. The last time, while playing online, in the warehouse on the second level a friend decapitated and killed me while a hunter pinned me down. :pinch: - Last night while playing on an online server, one person would go into a lagging loop. They'd get the reconnecting message over and over while everyone was alright. While it was doing that for me the console turned into some huge glitched up mess with giant pixellated fonts. - Had two ###### do nothing but teamkill at the spawn. Kicking in this game is effective and fast. - I heard there's a server browser, will that be selectable from the game's UI? - This must be Valve's most consolized UI ever. At least it doesn't entirely suck, but a UI more along their other Source games would be better. - I find myself charging into battle too frequently and unnecessarily. So I end up attracting the horde and getting friendly fire from teammates. :whistle: - There was this one game last night where at the first level, this one guy ran FAR ahead of us and set off a car alarm while we were all still cooped up inside the house. :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/685714-official-left-4-dead/page/13/#findComment-590139520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 If I buy the DVD version, can I just add the serial in STEAM, and it'll become a downloadable game (Like you can do with HL2)?

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted November 18, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 18, 2008 This is an awesome game. I've only played SP so far, I tried MP a bunch of times but I got kicked from the lobby, or everybody left and I was made the leader.
