The Official Left 4 Dead Thread

I have the sudden urge to play the Left 4 Dead demo again...Probably won't tonight though. Too much work to do, and too much Gears to play. I will however be picking up Left 4 Dead on Friday:D

That reminds me, I need to get a microphone for the PC. Has anyone offered suggestions in this thread?

I would like to know this as well. Right now I am using a cheap ps2 headset and would like to have a dedicated mic.
 
I'm playing with this config right now

sv_cheats "1"
director_no_bosses "1"
director_no_specials "1"
z_gib_limb_distance_headshot "2000000"
z_non_head_damage_factor_easy "-1"
z_non_head_damage_factor_expert "-1"
z_non_head_damage_factor_hard "-1"
z_non_head_damage_factor_normal "-1"

put this in a textfile give it a name like.. uhm... romero.cfg :D and put it in

harddrive\Steam\SteamApps\common\left 4 dead demo\left4dead\cfg

start the game, in the console type exec romero, press enter and start a match.
now there won't be any bosses, only normal zombies and to kill them you have to shoot them in the head :D

Just got this delivered from ups. Don't know why it came early, but I'm not going to complain.

Mine came earlier as well (360 vers.).. Ordered from GameStop. Unfortunately, I might be stuck at work until late tonight. Grrr.

Didn't you get a really important call from a family member that requires you to be at home?

;)

Why yes I did good sir. The wife just called with an emergency saying there's zombie apocalypse at my house. Think the boss will buy that?

Finally got to play the demo with some friends, and it's everything I wanted it to be. :D

It's a shame there are no deals on the 360 version.

A few dollars off, no tax and free shipping from Amazon right now

The closing comment captures the game nicely:

There's absolutely no doubt that Left 4 Dead is one of the most social and exciting multiplayer games that we've ever played. It's almost pitch perfect in how it captures the tension and the action of a Hollywood zombie movie. This is an incredible and highly replayable multiplayer experience that's definitely worth checking out, especially if you're looking to prepare yourself for the inevitable zombie apocalypse. Just make sure you bring your friends.
 
9.1 Teamxbox

No, Left 4 Dead isn’t a particularly deep game, doesn’t offer a ton of variety and could use some more polish in many areas…but it’s so immersive and satisfying the majority of the time that you will ignore some of its shortcomings. Not totally forgive them, mind you, but it feels like the good outweighs much of the bad. On more than a few occasions, I pointed out some glitch that came up during a match to a co-worker and the response was, “Yeah, but it was so much fun!” It’s like having a 1965 Mustang convertible with a faded ragtop…you can kind of gloss over the cosmetic for what’s under the hood and how it feels driving down the road.
 
This smoker grabbed me with his tongue and dragged me through the streets. Suddenly my body goes up a bit and i'm hanging like a fricking pinata :lol then the director spawned a horde which kicked my ass while still hanging there. My friends arrived too late, it was funny as hell :lol.

Bought the game afterwards, this is gonna be so much fun.
 
For some reason, the written review on pc.ign.com is unreadable for me. So I watched the video review on pc.ign.com. But then I realized it was the 360 version on video. Not only that but the review didn't mention anything at all about the pc experience. That was a 360 review. What the fuck is it with 1up and ign thinking pc and 360 are interchangeable? They are not. I want a fucking PC review!
 
Its crazy just how evil the ai director can be. All my team mates were down and waiting for me to reach them so they can respawn. I hear a boomer around the corner and quickly glance around the corner and I am immediately grabbed by a smoker and there was a hunter there as well. Boomer blows up and I am now covered with mucus and a horde is summoned. Killed the smoker and boomer but that was it.
 
After playing every GOTY contender, I have to say the demo of L4D alone is better then the rest of the games that came out this year. Only 7 more hours, can't wait
