I haven't played an online demo map this much since Beach Invasion on Return to Castle Wolfenstein. I can't wait until Valve releases it. I am so sick of the same shooter formula. Kudos to Valve for finding a new way to bring out the same excitement as the standard capture the flag, objective match, and other types of play that have been around forever. I look forward to many months of zombie killing bliss. :twisted:

Agreed, now all that needs ot be done is for the server owners to get off their lazy butts and update them so we can play on 'em.

 

Also...OH GOD TRON CYLINDER BOSS!

I like what Turtle Rock has done here with L4D. Like most valve games, they keep it simple. L4D is just that. Simple, but incredibly addictive and fun.

Yeah, I have 25.4 hours into the demo and although I'm starting to get a little tired of playing the same 2 levels, that's about 24 hours more than I would have played any other demo. good job valve

The game is good and it is fun but I have to say, I got bored rather quickly with it.   I don't know, maybe it's because it's always the same damn maps in the demo.   I would really like to see puzzles and bosses like RE: Outbreak File 1 and 2 but then again, that's just me probably.  I really don't see what's all the hype about tho.   Good game but not great and give it a few months, the online activity will drop just like a lot of coop oriented games.  Rainbow 6 Vegas, Gears of War, Kane & Lync and not a coop game but it's very team based in World In Conflict.

To probably get the best experience out of this game is to buy on launch day and play like hell IMO.

It's good. It's just not $50 good. The content just isn't there to justify that kind of price.

I also think the online activity is going to drop off fast like most co-op games. In a few months noone will be playing it.

do I hear people complaining there that those games should be 30 or less ???

 

awnser is no........why ??? they never made an orangebox.

That's my concern.  A game like L4D doesn't seem to have the long term appeal of Counter-Strike or Team Fortress 2.

Maybe not to you, buy MANY say otherwise. I don't know where you've been but many people are raving about this game, played the demo, and they are loving it. Not to mention, future DLC, updates, just imagine..

Best demo since UT2004!

Left 4 Dead is absolutely fantastic. The game lays down a great foundation for some really interesting mods. :D

Get a life.

This game is WELL WORTH $50.

The brief free demo has sucked up more hours from me than probably 90% of the games I've spent $50 on.

The mods are going to be great. Thank god it's from Valve. You know that the mod community is already in place. I can't wait to just randomly start picking all the custom maps out there.

Uhhh... considering Counter-Strike most be the longest-lasting most successful online shooter ever, I'd say it's not a negative if for some reason Left 4 Dead doesn't last quite as long. Sheesh. You people crack me up.

I agree.  And no offence to some, but I like Left 4 Dead's online 100 times more than Counter-strike and Team Fortress 2 combined.  TF2 never appealed to me.. although I've played Counter-strike since I was ye' high.

Yes, it REALLY is that good. And I've played probably every popular shooter on the PC market. This game is its own creation. Truly novel and fun approach to online gaming.

Oh please. This game will have a HUGE community in a few months. I have no problem whatsoever finding online games right now, and with probably 200 games under my belt I have yet to play with the same person again. This game is addicting and people are finding out. It will be here for a long time, especially when all the new custom maps start to come out which will because it's a Valve game.

I thought the demo was very average. Maybe I'm used to games that have decent/great stories. If Valve spent more time on the story instead of the multiplayer, then I would probably buy it. The price tag is pretty steep too.
