Mathachew Veteran Posted December 16, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'm late to this party, but a friend of mine got me L4D for my birthday last week. Initially it was fun, but I can only play through the same campaigns so much. I wish it had at least six different campaigns. If you run through a level, you can have a campaign done in around 30 minutes, if not faster. It has its fun moments and the versus mode keeps it interesting, but I wish you could at least choose between two types of specials instead of just being put as, say, Smoker or Hunter four times in a row. I don't like that it's so easy to kill you as an infected, even as a tank (saw a team take one down in about three seconds). Beyond that, it's a decent, but I'll probably trade this in eventually and get GoW2.

+Majesticmerc MVC Posted December 24, 2008 MVC Share Posted December 24, 2008 Out of curiosity, does anyone know why the 2nd and 3rd Campaigns can't be played in versus mode? It sort of sucks that there are only 2 campaigns to play in versus. Not that that takes anything from the game, I still love it :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/685714-official-left-4-dead/page/25/#findComment-590312766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex566 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Just got the game for Christmas. I would love to play with a few people from Neowin. You can add me on Steam as vortex566!

Minifig Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I'm PEEVED. I bought this for 49.99 3 days ago, and now it's on sale on the steam store. I'm writing them to see if I can get a semi-refund on some of my cash. Great game though.. Anyone care to start up a Neowin game sometime?

t0mbi Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Have you guys heard if you you melee attack a mounted Gatling gun thingy numerous times (charging it up) you then jump onto the gun and it slingshots you across the map???

The more you hit it the further you go! Yeah, it's handy for the finale of Dead Air.. Just whack it a few times, jump on it and with a little luck it'l throw you up on top of the plane and out of harms way.. make sure you start the fuel pump first though :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/685714-official-left-4-dead/page/25/#findComment-590328068 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappy Veteran Posted December 29, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 29, 2008 Full details about the Left 4 Dead downloadable content (DLC) should be with gamers soon according to Valve writer Chet Faliszek: Though details are light, Faliszek confirmed that the upcoming download will bring new scenarios, as "what we want to do is just deliver more content you can play at this point." These new scenarios will be released on the "[Xbox] 360 at the same time as the PC," instead of receiving a later Xbox 360 release a la Valve's Team Fortress 2. Along with the "new stuff," the download will bring Versus support to the Dead Air and Death Toll campaigns, a move that will finally allow players to experience all four of the game's campaigns in the competitive mode. Owners of the PC version can also expect the long-promised SDK at some point, which should allow for the creation of custom maps, scenarios and other mods. The DLC for PC will be free, although 360 gamers could be charged. For the full story you can visit here.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted December 29, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 29, 2008 I hope they keep it free for the 360, otherwise I'm buying it on the PC. At least let us play the other two campaign levels on Versus for free.

I wouldn't count on any major game updates being free (not including fixes, patches and updates to support for new features that you haven't purchased yourself). This is probably the biggest problem I have with the 360 since I got it earlier this year. I don't know how much longer I'll have my copy of L4D. I mean, sure, killing zombies is fun, but it's only so much fun. TF2 on the other hand....

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted December 29, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 29, 2008 Well I don't see them charging to unlock versus on all the campaigns. You've already paid for them and obviously it's on the disk it's just in a "locked" state that you can't choose it from the Versus menu.

Mathachew Veteran Posted December 29, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) Unlocking the other two campaigns should fall under updates that support new features rather than a map pack of sorts. I'm with you on it; there's no reason that it shouldn't be free. Edit: Realistically, however, the two campaigns being unlocked could be considered a new feature to the game, and as such, I can see MS sticking to their charge for new content policy, despite the developers saying they don't want to.
