Ran into a glitch on expert where a tank got stuck on some fallen concrete and couldn't move. He knocked me down before that though so my ass was saved. It took my team and I about 30 seconds of constant bombardment to drop it.

Would be easier to just play Painkiller.

I enjoyed Painkiller, but it lacked the intensity and insanity of Serious Sam and doesn't have nearly as much atmosphere or replay value as L4D. And, unlike the two aforementioned games, Painkiller doesn't have co-op. Interestingly enough, Epic bought the company that made Painkiller after they did the Gears PC port and now they're working on a new IP.

Note to OP. The Witch is now on all difficulties.

 

[LiveWire]

This game is awesome, can't wait for the full version. Some hilarious shit goes on in multiplayer, so much fun. :lol

I was in the Subway as Louis, and I got killed by a TANK along with 2 other survivors. The guy playing the remaining survivor, Zoey, managed to escape from the Tank and ran all the way back to the turnstiles area and I was respawned inside the storage closet. I heard the TANK coming after her so as soon as I got control of Louis I closed the door in her face and laughed out loud thinking I was safe and the TANK would go away after killing her.

Two seconds later, Zoey and the door hit me in the face. Game over. :lol

The game seriously needs a video replay feature. Do the old HL2 recording console commands still work?

[oldschoolpinball]

The AI Director can be so damn cruel sometimes. :lol So we get attacked by a tank while all of us are pretty low on health and slow. Flaming tanks are pretty damn scary. He knocks the shit out of three of us and Oldschoolgamer is the only one left alive. He retreats back to a train car and eventually kills off the tank. Soon after a hunter comes which he takes care of and then a boomer who barfs on him. While getting overrun by a mob of zombies, a smoker shows up as well and ends up strangling him to death. This game is too much fun playing with great people.

i feel the same way on 360:lol :lol . The director can play some cruel tricks on the same team

 

[fallengorn]

If you retreat and kill off a tank by yourself, it's pretty much still a death sentence.

 

[Snapshot King]

Is there any trick to fighting tanks? Because whenever I'm fighting one, they seem to make a beeline for someone, and stomp on them until they die. So if they're coming at me, there doesn't seem to be a way to get away fast enough or anything.

The trick is use lots of bullets

Whoever the tank keys on needs to just run, try and bob nd weave the tank between pillars and subway cars while everyone else unloads clips. Or atleast thats how I've best handled it.

 

[DemiMatt]

LMAO, Tiem, thoise were good times last night. We got stuck on the taank for a good hour, and when we finally downed him the Art Dev ended up sending in swarms of zombies. God i cant wait for this game, countless hours will be lost!

I gotta say, it's actually a little disappointing for me now if I don't run into a tank.

Poor Bill getting smacked by the train door the tank busted open

He was avenged though...

 

[Caesar III]

I have to ask here again because I want to enjoy the demo a bit too.

Is there a way to uncut the demo? the disappearing zombies kill this game.

 

[Twig]

Zombies disappear on me too after I kill them. But uh. I always thought it was just because I have the settings on the lowest to run the game on my laptop.

 

[BuddhaRockstar]

Anyone else have a problem where the game tends to freeze up as soon as you head outside of the apartments into the alley? It's not everytime, but a good 50% of the time the game locks up and starts repeating the last sound played and I have to crtl-alt-delete out of it.

I'm running the game at max with an e8400 and a 4850 so I'm not sure what the deal is.

I used to get random lockups at times, though they were never at one specific point. ATI released Catalyst 8.11 today so upgrade your drivers if you haven't already, as they might fix the problem. I haven't had a crash since.

I had a problem like that too except the lockup occurred when a pipebomb exploded.

My game also locks up randomly with the last sound looping but there's nothing that consistently causes it to happen for me. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Same here, seems to be random. I'm running ATI so I'll try these new drivers.

EDIT: hmm, nothing about it in the release notes

Yep I get the looping audio freeze too and I have an Nvidia 8600 GT.

 

[Teknoman]

Glad im not the only one having that problem.

 

[SapientWolf]

Some people fixed the loop/freeze problem by running in borderless window instead of full screen, or by turning off dual core support.

Well, considering that each wave of zombies is defaulted to 30, the number of corpses may have been a cause for concern when it came to performance.

 

[Acid08]

So I had no expectations for this game. It was basically off my hype radar. Played the 360 demo. Wow. I fucking need to buy this game. Sooooo good.

I, for one, welcome you to the fight against the zombie apocalypse.

 

[fallout]

When the real zombie apocalypse begins, I will look to this thread.

 

[newsguy]

When the real zombie apocalypse begins, I will look to this thread.

Or read the Zombie Survival Guide. I bought it the day after I played the demo, because really all of these things are just training for the real thing.

 

[wayward archer]

Here's the loading screen for Dead Air.

Zoey looks a little strung out. Pain pills are a hellofadrug.

 

[Costanza]

I love the cheesy taglines.

"THEIR FLIGHT JUST GOT DELAYED. PERMANENTLY." :lol

 

[raYne]

When the real zombie apocalypse begins, I will look to this thread.

The times during the demo where I've heard someone crack a joke about this being training for the real zombie apocalypse must be in the double digits by now.

I look forward to the dying screams of zombies being too fast, not having enough melee weapons and wishing they had mouse aim.

 

[Caesar III]

I'm not talking about disappearance of the zombies after waves. I'm talking about the disappearance AT ALL. ONE SECOND after I killed a zombie he fades away...Germany...

 

[GhostRidah]

man I want that dead air loading screen on my desktop! need a higher res one though =/

 

[Sibylus]

These movie posters are awesome, there isn't a thing I would change

 

[fallout]

I look forward to the dying screams of zombies being too fast, not having enough melee weapons and wishing they had mouse aim.

Person A: "Shit! Zombies! What do I do?!"
Person B: "Try circle-strafing him!"
Person A: "Okay!"

*Person A gets torn apart in a gory mess.*

I'm not talking about disappearance of the zombies after waves. I'm talking about the disappearance AT ALL. ONE SECOND after I killed a zombie he fades away...Germany...

Ahhh, apologies. I misunderstood. Yeah, that is rather lame.

 

[ThaiGrocer]

THEIR FLIGHT JUST GOT RESCHEDULED. WEATHER PERMITTING.

 

[Momar]

I actually brought up L4D to my AI prof today and (since I know someone mentioned it earlier) he actually thought it was pretty unlikely they were doing anything with neural nets, granted he admittedly knew very little about the game. Oh well, at least I piqued his interest, if he actually does take the time to check the game out I'll let you know if he figures anything out :O

Holy crap, deal of the century? For someone who has never played Orange Box, this is an absolute must purchase. Even if you have, buy it again (and gift it)!

Me either, pre-loading now!

Well at least we know what truly causes zombies. Super rabies.

Probably already in development too...since various military are really paying attention to games now.
