The Official Left 4 Dead Thread

Just read the IGN review... Despite the overall grade seeming a bit high, WTF at the 9.0 in graphics? It looks just like HL2 and possibly it's not even running in 1280X720 (720P), possibly in a bit lower res.

so, who else is screwed until friday?

have fun tonight guys!

cunts.
Meh, I am, though probably only until Wednesday or so. I've decided that I'll be picking it up for 360 tommorow using a giftcard I just found to tide me over until my Amazon order arrives...I'm way too fucking in love with this game.
 
Has anyone's Amazon order of the 360 version shipped yet? Mine hasn't and stuff usually ships out from Amazon the day before the release date. :(

360 version? I really got to take a look at that some time. On PC it looks fantastic.

On 360, it is definitely not a 9 in graphics, unless the latter levels are a MASSIVE step-up somehow.

Oh, and it depends on what my teammates want to do, but I rather go through on Advanced first, so I have an Expert run still left to accomplish. Plus, I'm not as good as some people here.
 
A technical question.

Is there anyway to display my frames per second info while playing. I don't know the command for it. I know it's good, running a 8800 GT, but I would like to know nevertheless.

It's probably 60fps, don't worry. The fps counters are actually very distracting and negatively impact your experience because you focus on your framerate more than the game.

I ordered last night, chose one day shipping, and it has shipped out today via UPS so I'll have it tomorrow.

Yup, 360 version. I mean, it's not bad looking at all, but the much praised dynamic lightning has been achieved since HL2. And the game has that kind of look with bigger jaggies of recent sub-720P games like Quantum of Solace and COD:WaW, so the 9.0 is definetely exaggerated.

I know, I was just curious because some people here are running the game over 60 with the same gpu.

I guess they were using mods right?
 
ayers of the recent Steam demo were disappointed that the game lacked a traditional server browser, as seen in games like Team Fortress 2 or Counter-Strike. This is also the case with the final game, with Valve's reasoning being that people would end up wasting too much time trying to connect to games that were already full.

bummer.

Nah, it's definitely 40 fps and now he's going to see it and be like fuckkk this sucks.


oh wait, that's me :(

You walk in front of me while I'm still shooting though. :(



I've only seen his avatar one (some guy at a keyboard with a happy face).

Maybe I just have bad luck with him, I don't know. Both times though, he'd do the above all the time and it was kind of annoying.

Worst was some m-x-a guy that ran ahead and set off the car alarms, and closed the door and let the other 3 of us stay on the ground until near death, so some of us shot him after he let someone up. He threw the whole OMFGGAY crap and shot another player at the start of round 2, so we blew him away and he left.

It was m-z-a and if he's on your friend's list, you need to ax that douche. Complete dickwad.

I was only on the ground because I was helping you up and he uzi-ed me to the ground.

It was funny how when somebody was let up, everybody started firing their pistols though. Everybody had their pistols trained on him, just waiting for the opportunity to kill him.

CrookedRain said:
I don't ever remember him doing that during my sessions with him. Who knows though, I think some of this stuff happens now because some of us spent too much time with the demo and are looking for other ways to have fun while we wait for the full game.

But the first time he pulled shenanigans it was at the end of the first level. Who likes replaying the first level?

And he was definitely talking a lot of smack. It didn't seem like he was just having fun.
 
I might wind up getting this game tonight afterall..anyone want to do an expert campaign tonight? I know some have already teamed up, who is still around?

He's not on my list, I think he is MNC's friend, who is on my list. One of them was referring to the other by their actual name, so I'd guess they knew each other.

Just got through another game with Crushed, and we did well. Good game, guess I played some crappy rounds with you earlier, we did pretty well just now. :)
 
Me and Milabrega probably will play, with a friend of mine joining if the game releases on time (lol Valve), but most likely advanced for the first full run, just to get a feel for it.

You gonna be able to play around the time the games unlocked?

There should be a small download (might have to restart Steam) around midnight, that'll complete the game and unlock it for play. A few key files are missing from the pre-load so we can't play it early.

who here lives around the Mid-West (chicago) for awesomeness come after 5pm tomorrow.

I'm in Indianapolis but I'm going to the NIN concert by that time (Ft. Wayne). But anytime you want to play just message me (Xdrive05 on Steam).
 
It's pre-loading now. I bought a friend of mine and I Nine Inch Nails tickets, bought him one for Christmas. They were $40 a pop, and he agreed to go halfies on this for me for Christmas. I gave him $22 and he put it on his card so I got it now. I have to read a book for some HW while it is pre-loading, so just making sure it will be up in 2 hours. If so, then I should be ok to go when it unlocks if it is all downloaded by then.

I do believe that it unlocks in 2 hours. This is going to be an epic night :D

You have an awesome tag btw. And I just noticed that your avatar keeps changing.

I can say I've never shot Louis Because I thought he was a zombie. I can't see the shirt thing really, they seem to be cleaner than the Zombies and his outline is more distinctive me.

I did it a couple times in the beginning. I haven't shot him in a while (at least because I thought he was a zombie.)

My only excuse about shooting people (which I feel bad about), is too many times people are twitchy. When there's chaos erupting, people need to buckle down and just hold their position. There's nothing worse than trying to spray zombie heads and having people running around erratically.
 
Hmmm my friend is saying that all steam games tend to unlock in the afternoon of release day. Are you guys sure it'll be playable at midnight?

Yes, there's a countdown clock on the game's store page. Also, official word on the forums.

That's where I mainly shoot Louis, I think. When there's a zombie pile he tends to blend in. Then there's when he comes out of nowhere behind me and it's like aaah.
