Just finished with the XBL demo. Very fun stuff. It isn't deep enough to make it a buy for me. Would definitely be alot of fun with lots of friends.

can you play coop with friends?

[ramsy66]

can you play coop with friends?

Yeah. Pretty sure.

[spacey]

Yeah, that was the big selling point I thought. Co-op campaign with 4 friends, or you can play 4 vs 4 in Versus mode.

The only thing similar about this game and the Zombie panic mod, is there is guns and zombies. This game is much faster and very dependent on team work and quite dynamic in terms of replayability of levels because the item/zombie placement is randomized each time you play. It really affects your pass through the level, because depending on your guns and where the bosses are, you may take different routes.

Nah, I meant for the demo. It wasn't confirmed whether or not the demo co-op had full online play since the demo MP version isn't coming out till the time of the retail release

Odd, mine stopped for like a minute and then it started again at a much better speed

Seems like they were having temporary server problems?

[PricklyPoo]

1.7 mbps... :| There must be some serious server problem... Downloading here with 30-60 kbps. :cry: :p (connection maxed out)

[Doli]

The demo is open to everyone now and no school today (Veterans day) could be a reason for the speed.

[Minifig]

I just heard the news that it's available for download and I'm pulling it in at 288.1 to 358.49 kbp/s right now.

[mikebiacsi]

Im downloading @ about 250@kbp/s. Im interested to see what this game is like, unfortunetly none of my mates will be getting it so chances are i won't have a chance to play co-op.

Co-op with other people with the match maker option.

You can do that??? Most excellent :) , not quite the same as playing with your mates but it's better than not playing with anyone.

[Minifig]

I'll be going out to dinnerish soon, but anyone wanna play later?

Perhaps we can get a Neowin - people only game going. :)

Can you give me your Steam name, I've been wanting to play some L4D with someone from Neowin for a while.

[Stinky Newb]

I just downloaded it from the Marketplace for the 360. Buying this game for sure!!

[AimLXJ]

Game is great but the mutliplayer community SUCKS for me, I get team killed all the itme on purpose and if I attack back they their friends in the room and vote kick me out, sigh....almsot every rom I join has a TKer, now I don't know should I buy the retail game because of those kids :wacko:

Other way around actually, the demo is multi-player until the full version comes out, then it goes into single-player mode only.

Edit: The full version should have a "rep" system, set off car alarms, team kill, etc. and your rep goes down, help people up, protect them, etc. and it goes up.

[spy beef]

There's not enough depth in the gameplay. This is like falling back to 2001 with Serious Sam the First Encounter's coop. All you can do is run and shoot or throw grenades. Not much else except for healing, and picking up teammates.

You know what? I think serious sam was better even though it's 7 years old!

You should join the Neowin.net STEAM community group here. (Y)

[ambiance]

I think it's worth buying and had a blast getting puked on.
