This is the most recent game I have bought, and the only one to have been released in the last two years. (Well, if expansions for Everquest 2 don't count)

Anyway, I cracked it out today, installed it, my first game was with a guy called Tabris. Now, it made me thing of AIAC (Cause Tom dA name is Tabris), and I was wondering who else had the game, who could give me some pointers for it, and if we could get a big AIAC Left 4 Dead game going

Got an email address. That might work.

WHO DARES USE THE NAME TABRIS!!!!??? :angry:

Haha, just kidding. But I can say with confidence that that wasn't me. I don't have "Left For Dead." I've been considering getting it though.

Sounds like you guys play via the PC. I'm afraid I would be getting it for the xBox 360 if I got. I don't really game on my computer.

What's so bad about it exactly? Maybe you can save me from wasting some money (though I wouldn't buy it for a long time, if I did).

Expiriance in most action games are better at PC due to Mobility, mostly.
Also: Modifications and Additions can only be made at PC, unless created SPECIALLY for any Console.
You will need to be very quick in L4D due to many dangers in almost every corner, its hard to aim upwards to get a Smoker (Thos that snatch you from above like in the trailer) before he grabs you, for example.
Especially if its a Shooter, then i'd recommend PC All the way, no matter what.

Interesting. I do see the logic behind it. It's just one of those things where it feels like (to me at least) the things that make PC gaming better in these ways really appeals to the hardcore gaming crowd. Like modifications and such. I'm not into things like that. For someone like me who just plays once in a great while, consoles are easier, I think. Just want some casual fun, you know?

Or maybe I'm just being a curmudgeon :lol:

Thank you for chinming in BaZul, I totally forgot abot this topic. :P

But yeah, L4D is a very fast paced, tense, hectic, and fun shooter. it involves keeping your eyes and ears open. The plus for using a PC, aside from that a mouse is faster, is that the keybord allows for more and easily accessable hotkeys.
Also, don't right out your PC yet, L4D as well as many other valve games are very kind to lower-end computers and can have their graphics set pretty low.


(also, all the cool kids play PC. ;) )

I can understand that certainly, but the thing is I HAVE played first person shooters on the PC before. I absolutely hate using the keyboard as a controller. I have such a hard time with it. Where as a traditional controller (none of that Wii nun-chuck stuff) feels completely natural to me. Like an extension of my hand!

..........hey...........I'm cool :(

I haven't played L4D in a long while now. I was doing a lot of my L4D playing with Garena (instead of Steam). There were plenty of good gamers there, but now its gotten rather dead. HA!

And yes, after getting that game, and being a current WoW player, I must agree that PC gaming is better than console gaming. However, I have been a console gamer since I watched my dad beat Super Mario Bros for the NES. :hope:
Maybe some day I'll finally be able to find a backwards-compatible PS3. You know, the ones with four USB ports, not two... and come with 80GB and not 200+ :sadhope:

I absolutely *love* the L4D games, which is odd because I generally hate first-person shooters. It's the focus on teamwork and coordination which I really like.

Also, is anyone else excited about The Passing? I heard it's being released later this month! The L4D1 crew meets the L4D2 crew! Yes!

No, L4D was originally Louis, Bill, Francis, and Zoey, and set in Pennsylvania. While L4D 2 has Nick, Rochelle, Coach, and The Scout I mean, Ellis, and is set in New Orelans.
the excitement is that in the new DLC you'll get to unite the two teams and play as both.

It has also been revealed that one member of the L4D1 crew did not survive, but we won't find out which one until the two crews meet in The Passing. Interestingly, they are also going to be releasing an L4D1 campaign which explains this... when you play it, one player will HAVE to make the ultimate sacrifice.

OK, I took a few skills in Craft [Thread Necromancy]

Anyway, I was wondering if any of you would like to form an L4D team of sorts. Nothing official or binding, just a good way to hang out, get to know each other better and stuff.
