Make sense.

If somebody is on your friends list, there is a separate window in game that details all of the specifics about their current game; mode, stage, and how full it is. Being in a group is no substitute for having people on your friends list.
While the Steam interface was sufficient for CS or TF2, it just doesn't cut it with L4D's small group size or long duration. It really needs an upgrade.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Serious Feature Request: Valve, please add a clock somewhere. I started playing around 1AM with the intent to only play a few quick matches; 5AM rolls around and I realize I should have been in bed hours ago.
Anyway, playing with fellow Gaffers really makes the game. The average people I get on Quick Match are just too stupidly competitive. Yes, you're right, the single solitary bullet from my pistol was purposefully shot at you and not the zombies swarming around you. And, yes, I did intentionally pounce the survivor you were constricting as the Smoker and was not aiming for the other survivor immediately behind him. Please do call a vote for my ban from the server.
That is what has been great about the people I've played with from Gaf, everyone just tries their best and tries to get as far as they can.

I understand why Valve is pushing matchmaking on the PC end without server lists now. If you don't have a group of friends to play this game with, it's a pain in the butt looking for adequate games through the server list (at least for co-op). While people might disagree with me, at least they were smart enough to include server lists so that everyone is happy (well almost everyone...)

I agree, actually. I've never been a huge fan of server lists to begin with, honestly, but I do understand that they work very well for certain types of games. The major problems I've had with getting into, for example, Team Fortress 2 are 1) I don't know what I'm getting into on random servers (Is this a group of experienced friends? Is this some serious competition?) and 2) I don't want to unintentionally grief someone because I'm unfamiliar with the game.
Ideally, Valve should work to offer both match making and server-browsing.
Had a complete blast playing with GAFers on Live tonight.
The game is really really good, I love co-op and this is best 4player co-op ever.
We've been playing on Advanced then we get to the last stage and after a few tried a vote to normal always happens :lol
Great, great games guys!

I'm surprised at how hard this game is. I'm playing with 2 of my friends, we are all very 'skilled' gamers. And yet even after playing for many hours yesterday we still haven't finished the first stage. We've been playing on expert, but we tried advanced after hours of not getting anywhere, and went worse! We've made it to the hospital... Hopefully we can get through it today.
It's lots of fun. But I'm not entirely enjoying the monster placement. It seems like most times we die it's because the game put a special zombie in the worst place it could possibly be put. Like a tank in a tiny little sewer section that he shouldn't even be able to fit in.

+1MercuryLS said:The game is effin awesome on 360. It's very smooth, has great split screen, dedicated servers for lag-less online play (both co-op and competitive), most people have headsets so communication is easy and helps a lot, the maps are all fun to play again and again. Just buy it and add me MercuryLS
Played a bunch with GAFfers recently and it's been awesome. Tons of fun on a great co-op game. I haven't even tried competitive yet.

The AI director can truly be brutal..
Last night on the hospital roof the director decided that I shouldn't survive.
The sequence of events is as follows (advanced)
1)Boomer spits on me- handled
2)Smoker get me while my teammates are fending off the horde in another direction- I get saved
3)Hunter pounces on me- saved
4) Boomer again spits on me
5) Hunter pounces on me before I can heal
6) Tank shows up and kills me.
I can't believe people complain about the lack of difficulty in this game. It's brutal at times.

I guess they took down the demo since I can't find it on there. I missed out then.

What's the best way to take out a tank without having you or one of your teammates getting pinned down by him?
Mar_ said:
other than playing on expert.. you being a group of skilled gamers should at LEAST allow you to finish a campaign on advanced.
however, just get used to mass zombicide; youll get the hang of the maps in no time. expert is for the extra-sadistic challenge that you need when you can breeze through levels with pistols and stuff like that.
Doytch said:#1 reason why I love my G15's lcd.

I'm running a 7800 GTX @ 1600x1000 4X AA / 2X AF / maxed out settings and it runs 50-60fps most the time,however whenever there's a lot of zombies it tends to drop down into the high 20's especially if my flashlight is on, It still feels smoother than 360's version (which is locked at 30fps) but I have a EVGA GTX 260 216 core video-card on the way, I'm stoked to see how much better L4D runs on it

That's a massive upgrade. Enjoy.

Yep, and also make sure you're not grouping together with other people, at least not too closely, so he can only really go after one person (which he'll sometimes do regardless, the asshole). Lighting the Tank on fire either by molotov or gas canister works wonders.

Ok, WTF is going on with steam? Every time I try to install this game it says my Steam ticket expired and it asks me to enter my password again and it never gets installed. Has anyone ever encountered problems like this with steam?

None of that seems to apply to me. It also seems I can't update to the latest Steam client. I'm stuck on the one from the 14th and when I try to update it downloads and restarts and I'm still on the same client I was on before.Remy said:
me and two other of my friends just beat the death toll finale on advance after trying for at least 3 hours yesterday and 2 hours today:lol all four survivors survived too,we were all so hyped when we beat it. this is a fucking awesome game to play with friends. ppl playing with bots are not getting the full experience at all.
and one more note; perfectly timed pipe bombs are your friend,especially in the finale.

Just because Left4Dead isn't worth it on the Xbox doesn't mean that other titles aren't too. I'm quite pleased with titles like Guitar Hero 2, Dead Rising, Marble Blast Ultra and Braid.Dax01 said:
To be honest, I do have another 6 months worth of free Xbox Live, but if I wanted to play Left4Dead sporadically over the next few years (after completing it within those six months), I'd have to resubscribe to Xbox Live every time. What a pain!
In my opinion, that makes it not worth it. And that's what the question was asking. Do you think the Xbox 360 version is worth it? "No, I do not."
Just for you, I'll add "And I knew that when I bought my Xbox that Left4Dead probably wouldn't be worth it on the Xbox."
I really gotta play this game with only people on my friendlist, these random people are completely unpredictable. Of course, I guess that's what makes them random. One guy shuttered the game off to his little kid brother mid-game, and another yelled "cunt" like fifteen times at everybody for not playing up to his standards.
Jesus this game is fucking hard. I was playing this with 2 other people and one CPU controlled character on the first "movie." We played the last stage on top of the
forever. We finally beat it and we ended up with a zombie count of a little over 4000!!! Plus, WE WERE PLAYING ON NORMAL. I can't even imagine how hard this game is on the upper difficulties.
