One of the best Co-op experiences out there! Excellent in Quality just lacks variety
They want your blood u give them bullets
The game basically has not much types of weapons, shot guns (auto and pump) M14 assault rifle, UZI sub machine gun, and a couple more, but not too many. What sucks is there is no rpgs, flame throwers, grenade launchers, and the chain gun is stuck to a mount, however, there are explosive gas tanks, helium tanks, drum barrels, Molotov ( a beer boot with paper on fire thrown) and a pipe bomb which is so fun to use cuz it mobs up the zombies and blows them up. There's only 5 types, I think of special zombies, all of them being melee, (with the exception of the smoker which uses his tough to lach on to ppl) each unique but u only c like 1 of each kind a time, hell, mainly c smokers, boomers, and hunters with the mob, but they r still annoying especially without pro friends playing on ur side. However Tanks and witch r quite annoying and scary at first but fun to own l8er. The only complain is y is there so little weapons and enemy types common this is awesome but can't it be better. O ya and basically u only do this during the game Wack, reload, heal, give, grab, o and SPRAY, (mainly wacking and spraying) don't get me wrong this is still fun cuz
CORE 4 COOP
When Survival is key that means good cooperation between team mates, if u have problems with a awkward team mate which is probably annoying, then u just might have a problem. If u r a noob, consistently dying then the team might 1)hate you 2) make fun of u and throw grenades at u for fun or 3) kick u. This a game which I probably recommend playing by yourself 1st then going online, however if you have friends then feel free to go online. When u r down, u must get pulled up by others in time, and get healed with health pills or Health pack. Some times, you will be in a sticky situation cuz of a specially zombie requiring assistance, eg pinned down by a hunter, basically rape. OR stuck to a Smoker's tongue. Also there a competitive Verus mode where 4 ppl play as human and 4 other ppl play as specially zombies, trying to kill the humans, I can't go too much into detail, cuz I nv played it. I bought this game cuz of my friends and I play it with my friends its an intense experience trust me, its probably better than R2 coop, however.
This is made by Valve… I want more
So far the game is great just that it isn't awesome. First off the weapons r limits, and you can't rly use melee weapons scavenged from the ground like other zombie flicks. Also the objects aren't interactive like they r in half life 2, only the doors, so a wooden box, no matter how much u nade it is invincible, and its using the same engine, I think. Also the limited experience keeps this game from going above and beyond.
Being a game made by Valve I expect ALOT of free content and updates. HOWEVER L4D only has 1 NEW content pack since its launch, and this is quite a popular game... so where did the rest of the stuff go?
CLOSING
So far this game is an awesome coop experience, with the word bonding to describe the game. However this is just "a" bonding experience there fore you will just 1 type of experience throughout the whole game . It's a unique game that steps out from the crowd into its own world, however I see its potiental to step another step into the world of Excellent and best game of the Year. It a game about Quality not quantity, therefore its not the best and DOESN'T DESERVE BEST SHOOTING OR MULTIPLAYER AWARD but is a great game to play with friends
