Default Left 4 Dead impressions

Well the much awaited game is slowly making its way into our lives (rhetorically off course).

So share your experiences about how it is???

I for one fond the action very pulsating with hoards of zombies coming at varied intervals and the only way to survive " TEAMWORK"

No two ways about it. .

The SP may not be that attractive but it is the Multiplayer aspect of which Valve has a Phd in it i think is what makes this game stand out.

Definitely worth a buy ,. . if you have an internet connection ( Who doesn't) and or a LAN setup where you can play with your friends online !!!

I played the demo and loved it! It ran great on my mid range 2 year old computer. It was perfect for me - lots of Zombies, but not super scary like Doom 3.

The only negative I found - I played online for an hour or so, logged out, and went to play again later - I've never been able to log into the online version again. I've tried probably 20 times now, and I can never connect to a game.

It may just be because it's a demo, but the multiplayer looks pretty dumbed down - you simply connect to a group of players randomly. It doesn't appear to have a detailed server selection process like COD or Battlefield.

Hopefully they'll get the multiplay sorted out, but I'm still buying it, if just for the single player.

That is the best part when you are dealing with VALVE . .you can just never go wrong !!!

Everytime a bug is reported you can rest assure it will be fixed overnight.

Just like TF2 when it was launched. . . an update used to come every other day .

I just got this game yesterday, its an awesome game, well the only zombie game I ever played so I can't really compare, this game is co-op based which Is what I love, you can play with friends from your friends list by inviting them to the lobby you created.

The versus mode is pretty cool to, gives you a chance to be the zombies but die quickly.

I got my butt handed to me for a while until I learned that playing as the infected is all about strategy. You really have to find the perfect place to setup and ambush them. If you do an all out charge then you're toast.

Yes as a zombie you are very vulnerable and have very little heath to show for it too. . so sneaking in is the ONLY way. . and its FUN TOO :P
