I'm loving it, hands down the best coop game I've ever played.

Don't play with bots unless you have absolutely no choice: this game lives and dies on the interaction between players. When you fuck up and shoot your mate in the back during a mad zombie rush and have to hustle extra hard to make up for it, that's when things really come alive. 

Oh fek I started playing this and it's sucking my life away already.
It's not so pretty, but it's horribly addictive, Post-Apocalyptic Oblivion with Guns = win. 

Got the demo, works fine, kinda cool.

My name seems to be teamshambler , so you p1mps can find me if needed. 

20 hours and counting, preload grinding away.

Bot'sre ok for the first couple of games when you're learning, yeah, but you lose most of the game without human players.

Really looking forward to playing as the boss zombies (yeah, I finally looked up the forum posts). 

Spooky.

You don't exist. 

I'm sure I do exist. Have opened Steam now. 

 

Yes - Its sucking the life out of me, too...

I love it when you get to level 10 you get a perk to instantly reach level 11....

So many fantastic elements to Fallout3, one cant even describe how immersive and addictive it is. And the animation really isn't that bad....

One example of the brilliant "open-endedness" of it - Megaton - Do you:

1 - talk to the guy at the bar, get the device and then detonate the bomb (apparently you get a room at Tenpenny Tower)?

2 - talk to the sherrif and de-fuse the bomb for 100 caps?

3 - talk to the sherrif first, then the guy in the bar, then go and tell the sherrif what the guy in the bar says. The sherrif goes to confront the guy, who shoots him dead. God knows what will happen to the bomb now, for this is what I have done.


A freind of mine has started this over four times now. One time, my other freind was playing around with his character when he (by pure chance) stumbled upon the location of the characters father. This kinda spoiled it for him...

I have yet to find the dog. 

Back on again. Online and profile is public. What next?? Is there like a pre-game chat thing? I have no idea how steam works. 

Post your community page url here, so someone can add you to the func_group or something, if no has done so already. 

Click on friends, add friend and put the name.

To be fair had alot of problems here with someone sat across the room - cannot find 'x'.

My steam id is the same as my name here.

Looking forward to playing the proper game today, considering the demo maps were still fun. 

Damn. After its released they make a 3 for the price of four pack.

That's irritating for those who already own it.

Nothing to do with it, but there you go. 

Its even better than the demo, I have been totally engrossed since it unlocked today!

The pacing is much improved over the demo, this is mainly due to the fact that you can play through an entire campaign rather than 2 short maps, but even so the highs and lows and very well thought out.

Difficulty seems to have increased on both advanced and expert mode, which is a welcome change imo, the game is challenging on advanced and downright evil on expert - which is exactly where it needs to be :)

Its a shame that there are only 4 campaigns to play through, and a good team can complete one in around 30-45 minutes, but as has already been discussed, the repeatability of the campaigns is immense.

After a playing a few laggy games I went searching for a decent server grouping for the UK and found this great group : http://steamcommunity.com/groups/WPL4D

If you add this group to your profile you will be able to join and host games on these UK servers and pings are very respectable every time I have played on them.

I shot Bal around 16 times "by accident" when we played earlier, so you can all form a queue to thank me!

Buy this game! 

Free evening in and I have to wait 3 hours to download this bizzle. 

cunts.

Why can't I chat to anyone online in the func group?? Do I have to be-friend you gaylords first? 

Woo, so fun, playing as the infected is really tricky, but so enjoyable when you get away with something nasty (I love jumping on Zoey as a hunter, mmmm, yeah). Playing the Tank is awesome. =)
The versus mode really makes it alot more intense, you always need to be ready for an attack.
Still having some server probs though, kinda hard to find good ones with friends.

Shambler yeah I think you need to friend people before you can talk to them. 

You can't just stick your dick in everything. It doesn't work like this... 

The demo level was kind of fun, but $50? I don't thinks so. 

There is apparently a deal where if you buy 4 copies of L4D you get the 4th one for free. So that's 4 for $150.00 or so. Which turns out to be... $34.00 or so? Something like that. 

[nt] 

Whatever, rough day. $38 or something. I give up. 

Also, your friends list is integrated into L4D, so you can instantly join a game your friend is playing without any searching for servers or messing with IP's etc. You can also make a friends only game that only people in your friends list can join. 

when I was on steam it told me every time that scampie was playing TeamFortress 2 (roost)
i think he was my only freind. I killed a few random people on HLDM and HL2DM, and that was it... 

or...

3a) Save the sheriff when the guy tries to kill him.
