[Official] Left 4 Dead


Recommended Posts

Man I am having so much fun, its 3AM here almost and I am still playing lol

Yea I have played MP as well, but only with the demo so far. I am going to complete the whole game first, get as many achievements as possible and then play MP.

just watched the ign video review, looks great cant wait to try it this weekend

but how many hours can i expect to get out of it? and can you play co-op splitscreen?

It took me and my friends like 2+ hours just to beat death toll on advanced lol. I played the two tiny demo levels for 30 hours, I think there is a lot of reply value in the levels.

Local co-op is only 2 players max, or you can mix with another 2 friends over Live.

XBL supports 4 player co-op obviously..

Cool cheers.

Just having some folks over tonight to play some RB2.

Does the computer AI assist when you do 2 player co-op? We'll probably go online as well, team up with 2 other randoms for a bit :p

Speaking of the 360:

Any comments on how well L4D plays on it? Just curious, since it looks like a wave of fanboys are rigging its user score on Metacritic and I refuse to believe it's that crappy. :laugh:

(conversely the PC version's user score is nowhere close)

    • I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
    • The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.
    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
