Guy1: Hey, we're going to wait here for the other two guys to respawn before we hit the tank. Are you alright with that? Okay, I want you to grab the molotovs up there and I'll go up on the turb-"

*blank look from Louis*

Guy 2: You're talking to a bot.

Guy 1: Oh what the fuck.

Yeah, you really cannot tell the difference the bots are so good. I had this really nice spot of teamwork where me and another player mowed down a zombie hoard coming through a door with our shotguns, each of us covering the other. Then I realised it was a bot.
 
I love how you can go idle to without quitting a match or having your character just stand there the whole time. Great idea to let the AI take over till you get back.

I am starting to get burned out on the demo though, gonna take a break till the full release comes out I think.

No joke. My friend and I went through the demo twice, and we both agreed we never would have made it through the first run if not for the computer playing Zoey. She kept both of us alive.

Actually it's really easy to tell, cause they're better than real players.

Seriously they actually heal you, if a hunter/smoker gets on your ass they shoot it off instantly. Players atleast take a few seconds to react to realize you've been snatched.
 
Man I had the most hilarious moment with a player named Mr. President last night. We were at the beginning near the second set of stairs that go downstairs in the house. I was down right by the door and he was getting me up.

In the middle of getting me up we were interrupted by zombies, no big deal, they're taken care of.

So I get up and then he starts trying to heal me. A hunter comes, a lol moment by itself. We kill the hunter, I think it pounced on him.

He then tries to heal me again, this time a boomer comes from somewhere and vomits on myself or both of us, not sure. Now I start laughing hard. I don't think there were any zombies left to run after us.

Now he tries to heal me again, this time a smoker drags him away and I have to save him. Now I can hardly breathe due to the epic lulz.

The game just would not let him heal me for some reason.

I don't remember all the details, but we were literally interrupted every time he tried to help me.
 
thanks to everyone who helped me out with my question a few posts back regarding the difference between the pc and 360 versions. anyway here's my follow up question: if i was able to run TF2 on my computer perfectly fine on lower settings, how could i expect L4D to run? thanks guys!

I'm on the same boat as you. TF2 runs perfectly on med-low settings. L4D seems to run fine with those settings as well.

If you could run TF2 at decent settings using DX 9 you should be fine for L4D.
 
I am running L4D on almost the same settings as TF2. It is all on High except 1 which is on Medium (Forgot what it was lol).

I have not noticed slow down or anything except 1 part where a car was on fire and I spun around really quick. Only did it for a tiny second and was not enough to kill me lol.

Me, Sonicspear, and Oldschoolgamer pissed off the director! :(
Click to expand...

It was angry at us for breaking it during the apartment section. :( Seriously, no zombies were on the streets or in the building. I guess it happens when you leave someone in the main building, and hop off of the rooftop. Easy victory.

Capndrake, Sonicspear, and myself did a medipack only run on advanced. I tried fighting off a tank with one. lolol. I could have killed it with it, if I kept stunning it instead of bitching out. They survived and killed it. During the minigun part everyone else died, and I tried to go save Capndrake, but there were to many zombies. I ended up running like a coward for the door. :lol

:lol @ Sonicspear running half way across the map, just to kill off the computer again.

You and everyone else. I've clocked in some hours with the demo.

Thanks man! Finally had some extra money.
This is im sure a stupid question but do I need Xbox Live Gold to play co-op?

you knew live. Also, I'm guessing its too much for you to ask if you will do one of your amazing threads for this game?

5-6 hours earlier i think? So around 2-3 AM in the US?

Sounds like a weird time to unlock a demo.

Midnight pacific time is pretty common for a company located on the west coast.

I'm wondering, will 360ers be able to play with people who are playing on the PC? I know Star Wars Battlefront 1&2 did this, so I'm curious.

Yeah the director didn't throw any zombies our way during the apartment level. I had to set off the car alarm to make sure they came. The director made up for lost time and made sure we couldn't just breeze through the subway. The witch at the end was weak. Oldschoolgamer through a molotov into a jerry can I through at the witch and she just burned to death

That medipack run was funny though. I had to kill the CPU Francis because his leathery shotgunness would've messed with our fun! When he respawned in the closet behind us, I went all the the way back and shot his ass. A smoker appeared at the corner when I got done killing Francis and it killed me. Of course I blamed Francis for not telling me there was a smoker the moment I killed him! :lol

Jesus I didn't realize I've been playing it that much :\

Oof, and I thought my 11+ hours was bad. I've decided to show some restraint until release.

Don't want to kill the game before I even get it :)
 
Would anyone be kind enough to pm me a demo download code?

Well, the demo is finally out tomorrow. It is also Veteran's and Remembrance Day, so I'm sure you like me have tomorrow off. All I can remind you people is honour our vets, and play Bill. He earned it.
 
Seems they removed splitscreen from the PC version =( And the ability to play as infected.

It'll probably still be there in the final version. They probably don't want a flood of servers running custom cvars out there for tomorrow's newcomers to the demo.

I'm glad they added UI for playing on a locally hosted server - my connection's good enough and it's usually a smoother experience for my friends.
