Left 4 Dead

[Skaw]

or.. Resident Evil online games done right.

Is anyone anticipating this game as much as me? Only a few months left.

If you're not in the know, it's a cooperative multiplayer(or single with bots) game, where you have to fight through levels to reach the end goal. Just like the online RE games. What makes this better though, is that players are randomly assigned which of the four characters they play as, and each of them have universal skills. This way theres no douchebaggery and arguing over characters.

As well, four additional players can join the game, and play as the Infected(Zombies.) These players get to assist the AI in taking out the survivors. And they aren't shambling idiots either. They move quick, can leap, and possibly other acts of agility.

It's made using the Source engine, and done by Valve and Turtle Rock. The guys that did CS: Condition Zero, and the bot AI for CS: Source.

I've been keeping tabs on this game for a while. I keep expecting some beta tested to come out with "It's Completely Crap!"

Fortunately, all I've heard is really good things. There is a couple of trailers on Gametrailers.com and two people talk about their experiences playing the game. They described one of the most exhilerating gaming experiences that they'd ever had.

What's also cool about this game is that when matchmaking if the game can't fill all the slots for the zombie characters, it'll put bots in. Since you can't talk to each other while in zombie mode, you never know which is a real player and which isn't.

I'll buy this game the day it comes out. ;D

I was really hyped for this game when I first heard about it. Then I saw it was a first person shooter and my enthusiasim died...I'll probably still play it though.

It looks great, but I like my zombie games with behind the character/over the shoulder camera. I hope you can change it in the menu. This game looks like a sure buy!

I pee'd my pants when I saw this game. Felt like forever since they announced it!
