L:eft 4 Dead on Xbox 360, Why?

It's going to be Left 4 Dead by Valve, just like TF2 (on 360) they'll promise the updates, but it won't happen.

 So everyone who bought the 360 version, why?

Because my PC can't handle L4D.Mr_Cumberdale

There is one simple reason why the 360 version is better, and that is because it takes only one game for all four of your friends to play.

360=4 player split screen=$60

PC= 4 seperate games=$200

the PC version has splitscreen....and a map editor.

I don't have it yet, but I'll be buying the 360 version because I have many friends that either have or are getting the 360 version as well.

I'm pretty sure Valve is going to give 360 owners a giant middle finger in terms of support just like they did with TF2, despite the ridiculous sales The Orange Box enjoyed on the 360. Yes, I know the PC version sold far more but damn, you'd think they could throw us a bone here given how much money we've given them.

well, first off, valve apologized for tf2 on 360 and swore that it wouldn't happen again

and second, i find the 360 version more fun. just played a five hour session with two friends last night. it was awesome

Is everyone required to have the game just to play splitscreen?

So one person makes a server and how does everyone else join? Are they required to also have a copy of the game or is it possible to download it for free?

i think he means you can have split screen with 4 friends but online, so they'll all have a disk i'm guessing.

[QUOTE="zaku101"][QUOTE="cobrax75"] no...it works the exact same way it does on a console.Mckenna1845

Well it's a steam game so it won't boot unless you own the game. I am pretty sure he just confused the idea of 4 player co-op with 4 player split screen.

the same exact way it works on a console...you simply plug in a controller.

Do you know if you can use more than one keyboard+mouse? Cuz I only have 2 controllers. I'll probably have to also hook the PC up to my HD tv due to the screen size.

I'm getting it for 360 because I game on my 360. I don't game on my crappy laptop :/.MrSlippery39

This is why TC. Not everyone has a $1000 + computer to play it on and no one is going to buy one to play a SLIGHTLY better version. Jeez think next time TC.

I dont know, but if not Im sure people will find ways to config it in such a way.

Slighly better my ass...people went crazy over the fact that LBP and Far cry 2 had map editors...yet somehow this those not matter at all now.

DInput will only *properly* support one keyboard and mouse, as far as I know.

Any other players will have to use a controller.

Everyone that I want to play it with have 360s.  It's a virtual guarantee that it will work for each one of them since we all have the same hardware.

The same cannot be said of their PCs.

The 360 version is fine, but making ignorant statements isnt doing you favours.

I made a similar thread like this the other day...

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26683122&page=0

also some of your guys' facts are way off:

xbox have better graphics then PC...no

xbox version more fun then PC...false

split screen...people still play that? hahaha

finally PCs cost $1000+ to run games like this?..tell that to my 7 year old SLIGHTLY upgraded Dell...on today's market im sure i could get my current PC for $150 tops, and I can play most of today's games except maybe oblivion, fallout 3, and crysis

Well I hate sharing my screen, so I could care less about split screen.  I got Left 4 Dead for Xbox 360 because all I had to do was buy the game & be 100% postive it would work.  Too much trouble dealing with PC & matching up specs.  I'll take my controller & big screen over that monitor & keyboard anyday.  I've been having a freaking blast with this game on Xbox Live, its a must buy.  Later & Good Gaming!!!

So is this guy blind or has no one informed him that you can hook a big screen TV and a controller to a PC?

If he's blind, how can he type like that?

EDIT: if this is the case and you're too lazy to do this, then how do you even get out of bed in the morning?

matching specs is hard?...

installing mods is challenging?...

i swear most of you console owners shouldnt even play games

get this through your heads..unless you want to play crysis(which isnt even a great game) PCs are about half the price of consoles..and can do infinately more

give it up already

Ah yes, I found it. Xbox 360 only supports 2 player split screen on one machine.

Ok, so the 360 version has no 1 ups on the PC version. Case closed.
