SaigaNoobie 66 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I downloaded the Left 4 Dead demo for the PC. 4 players. Co-op. ZOMBIE HOARD KILLING GOODNESS! If only the shotgun were an S12, itd be the perfect game. View the trailer here: http://www.l4d.com/ I recommend checking it out if you're a big kid like me and enjoy playing some games once in a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ArcFault 4 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I downloaded the demo last night too and I gotta say, pretty fuckin cool. Zombie hoard killing is right, like 28 Days or Dawn style zombies mixed with a little Resident Evil. I believe I may buy this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean.223 365 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 So the demo is co-op??? This makes three of us.....DLing now!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinsen 86 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I am 100% sure that this is what they're offering us because we modded ALL THEIR GAMES to be zombie multiplayer games. Zombiemod is now a Valve game, yay! The 18th. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ballistician 1 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 They finally made a FPS button masher. And looks like a great time waster--I'd play it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess they finally caught on huh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
acercanto 6 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Same here, just got the demo and I must say, it's pretty cool. The only thing that bugs me is how zombies come from places you've already cleared, but I see they've kept that from being a plot hole by leaving cracks and things in the level for them to spawn into.

SaigaNoobie 66 Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Even when you cleared an area, like every 5 mins there will be a wave of 20 zombies rush at you. Awesome. and I love the fact that they die like a normal person. Zombie mods for CSS were not cool when the zombies had 10000 life Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ArcFault 4 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I like how much you have to rely on each other. If you wander off solo, you die, unless your team can get to you in time. Heroics aren't rewarded, truly a team co-op. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinsen 86 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I'm not complaining, so don't get that into your head... Anyway, I think the most boring and lame thing to make a game out of is Zombie v Soldiers. If there were actually a zombie spread in the world, like one soldier would die in the entire world. They have engineers, guns, food, they are SET. They have no reason to move, and vehicles that no zombie could ever get inside of under any circumstances. But hey, guns + zombies = awesome. I like that you can kill them like a person in these games, not the aim for the head type. Aiming for the head only, in a videogame, means never using anything but a shotgun and having one guy with a scoped rifle with you. If you can hit them anywhere, then you're gonna switch it up and have more fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaNoobie 66 Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I like that the zombies don't move until they notice your light or you shoot at them, then 15 come running at you. A guy and I got into a fortified room and just kept sitting there until the zombie waves came. We each had upwards of 500 kills . it's awesome to fire the shotgun and watch 3 zombies fall.... let the bodies hit the floor! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

perkascene 0 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I've been playing the demo since it went public. What a great game, it's going to make me take a break from Day of Defeat: Source though. My Steam name is Perkasie Pride, hit me up if I am online and I will gladly die over and over again in expert mode. BTW, the game is brilliant. I wish the zombies didn't stand around until you bump into them. I swear, I saw one taking a knee, smoking a cigarette. I had to tap him on the shoulder and remind him that he was supposed to be gnashing his teeth at me. That's why they make updates though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bean.223 365 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 GREAT GAME!! My pc is having some probs though, Steam keeps crashing..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaNoobie 66 Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I had a problem when running at 1280x1024. Even on LOW gfx, Steam would crash, but I can play at 1024x768 on FULL MAX everything. Think there is a resolution error in either my card or the game... try that if you havnt.

22_Shooter 1,560 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Is this worth playing online with DSL? I see that Broadband is recommended, but I'm on DSL, which is a lot slower obviously. What would happen if you play online and you have a slow connection? <----Never played online games before .

Bean.223 365 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) Your DSL is good to go, a lil slower than cable but not much. It all depends on how far away from the actual server location you are. In call of duty for instance it will give you a list of servers along with their ping. Generally the closer physically a server is to you the lower the ping is. Lower is always better. I had 765k DSL and i did fine. Now I have 1.5 megs but still no worries. DSL is fine.

SaigaNoobie 66 Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I play on DSL, As long as your ping is under 100 you'll be fine, mine stays around ~40 for most east coast servers. I believe my name for friending is "Deadpool" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinsen 86 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I play as Carbine O'Connor, Mr. Overkill, and Twinsen... but I've switched over to Carbine or Carbine O'Connor if I can make a name that long. If you see Carbine O'Connor playing LEFT 4 DEAD, that's me. I forget what my Steam name is, I'll check that later. It might just be my name, Patrick O'Connor. I hope there's a pre-install buy thing going on for LEFT 4 DEAD, because I'm gonna be playing it at midnight when it comes out. I say saiga forumers get together and kill shit.

Twinsen 86 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) Ok guys, I made an official Saiga-12 STEAM group. Like a clan, only totally public and it just exists so we can find each other and kill zombies. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/saiga12 I think you can go there and just join up, I haven't tried it though, I just set it up. I invited Saiga Noobie as a friend, I can't find perkasie pride or bean on there. Looks like my Steam name is Patrick O'Connor. I'll play as Carbine O'Connor though.

Bean.223 365 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I have little or no experience with steam, i'll admit trouble i am having....im not even sure who i am....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinsen 86 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Click on this: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/saiga12 Then when the window pops up, click "Join this group" under Actions, on the right side of the screen. Hopefully that will make it easier for us to find each other tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
