Can't wait to download this when I get home.
I take it people don't play with a high level of film grain?
I had it pumped to maximum and it seemed to get really disorienting when things go bad. Am I just a noob, or is it easier when you turn it down? I've just turned it down to default and am thinking it should make things easier to play.

So I played both demos.
Two things: PC >>>> 360 version by like a million.
And advanced difficulty is definitely the way to play. Normal = much to easy, at least on the level in the demo. Playing on advanced and seeing the shit hit the fan in the room before the last safe room was amazing.

But do you think L4D has a chance to usurp Gears 2 on the XBL most played list? That's kinda what I'm implying.

Witches aren't that bad imo, you can prepare for them if you need to fight them unlike other infected. Sure I'll avoid them if I have the chance, but they're no tank in terms of difficulty.
When me and my friends have to fight one, we all aim at her then count down and all start firing at once. Usually take her down before she gets to us. This is on expert.

As a videophile I don't want to see any fucking artificial film grain in my films, and especially not my games. First thing I did was turn it to 0. oh, and BTW, Valve am gods. The shooting feels o awesome, instanly you can blow off heads without a hitch. Buying it day 1 based on the demo.
border said:
Yeah your supposed to avoid them we had one genius on our team today just before the last section of the demo as we were crossing that dark area with the pillars who thought it would be a good idea to walk over to her. Even though we told him to leave her alone as we were low on health.
He disturbed her she pounced and we left him to his fate.
HOLY SHIT I JUST PLAYED WITH CHEATS ON
HOLY SHIT
Dammit GAF, I don't know which version to get now. This ran really well on my laptop and those cheats made the game so much more fun but I still prefer Xbox Live over Steam.
I'm probably just going to end up with both versions.

Is gears2 really the most played? Takes 10 minutes every time I want to find a game then dumps me back on my ass after the win to do a search for another 10 minutes.
In a fair world L4D would take the top spot, it's definitely good enough to do it. The only thing in its way is the XBL demographic

I agree, it seems witches are made out to be a bit worse than they really are. Granted, if you're in a bad situation to begin with when someone disturbs her,
then yeah, you're knee deep in shit river. Prepared, though, a team can take her out without too much peril.
All depends on the situation, but there's no way a witch could be compared to a tank. No. Way.
advanced is much too easy, you can take 10+ hits from zombies or teammates before going down.ultron87 said:
Expert is also easy with a good team, as I experienced last night. Expert can be difficult with a less experienced team.
I like these ideas, apocalyptic is a bit much. Having to do headshots all the time isn't really going to fly when swarmed by assloads of zombies. It's supposed to be hectic.wayward archer said:

I don't know the stats, actually. I'm just making the analogy Halo 3 : COD4 :: Gears 2 : L4D.Druz said:Is gears2 really the most played? Takes 10 minutes every time I want to find a game then dumps me back on my ass after the win to do a search for another 10 minutes.

This is mainly a high profile PC title. There will be nothing but console shitting going on this entire thread. Get use to it.
For what it's worth I have a PC capable of playing it pretty well but the decision will come down to Xbox version or not at all.

To be fair, the thread started out pretty well with regards to the 360 version.Stoney Mason said:
And may I ask why you're not considering the PC version? Are most of your gaming friends on 360?
So uhhh....guys....do you have any fucking clue how incredibly popular this thing is?

Valve is serving out ~69,000 megabits per second. That's 8.65 gigabytes per second
And right now, there are nearly 15,000 people playing it, even though there is so much bandwidth still being used for downloads.

Pretty much. I prefer the community of Live over the PC experience despite its level of racists and kids although I have a feeling this game will attract slightly less of each than is typical for Xbox Live.

Fair enough. I'm only considering double-dipped on the 360 for a similar reason -- not "the community," but my real-life friends and just a few online buddies. My community experience on the PC has been amazingly fun though. PC-GAF is a great bunch. But I already knew that with TF2.Stoney Mason said:

From the way some people are going you would thing the 360 version looks like utter crap which is not the case.:lol
None the less i shall be getting this on PC as i have already paid it off and also have a machine that can run everything on the highest settings.

Nothing wrong with that. Definitely a slightly older crowd which is invariably an improvement in any community.
I just posted a reminder thread for people who don't check this one religiously.

:lol 15k is a shitload, especially getting them all concurrently.
That's more people than playing TF2 by 50%.
If they can hold up at least like 10-15k player numbers in the demo, I can't wait to see what the final game will get in terms of player numbers.

I doubt it. A few people I know who are XBL junkies feel like L4D is too shallow to get alot of people playing it for long. When I played the demo I thought it was fun, yet I did wonder about the staying power. I am going to buy the game, yet I do have reservations about how long I will play it until I get bored. Maybe the final game will ease my fears.

Maybe digging around in some config files? Otherwise you could enable gpu scaling and force your resolution, that way you can see the games menu and set the proper resolution. GPU scaling is an option in both nvidia and ati control panels.
edit: There should be 2 files called video.txt and videodefaults.txt located in 'C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead demo\left4dead\cfg\', try changing the resolution on one of those.
