    I'd say once the maps start stacking up this game will get better, as it stands I'm already getting a little bored of the campaigns. After a while you start to know all the possible actions of the AI editor, to the point that you are just going through the motions on each level. Plus I'd rather it if you couldn't hear the special zombies from miles away, it ruins the tension when you know exactly where they are before you can even see them.


    Yeah, I now only play on versus mode. As I don't really enjoy playing the Blood Harvest campaign it is beginning to get a little repetitive. Hopefully the new maps will be available versus.

    i tend to prefer the death toll campagin the boathouse ending is classic, espically when u have to make a run for the dock, ahh so many of my friends died there.

    Last night i was playing with some americans who got trapped at the start of the dock when the ship arrived so i could bear to see them being eaten alive so i threw a molotov at them and let them burn to death (seemed kinder).

    I boarded the boat, well the abuse from the mic made me drop my monoicle into my red wine!

    You good sir are a shameless coward! However, a zombie film isn't complete without a shameless coward. I've had to leave a few people behind as well. If you lag behind on my team, expect to be left behind, we can't have one person holding everyone up, it's how Darwin predicted it.

    Should one delete the demo's local content before installing the full game?

    I didn't and it didn't do anything.

    I am wondering can I just delete the demo now?

    If I am on the safety of the boat, and some gombeen keeps killing zombies when he should be running like the ****ing wind, he deserves any (un)death that comes to him. I may fire a few unhelpful shotgun shots his way from the safety of the poop deck, but when you hear that rescue has arrived: RUN, and leave the zombies be. They were human too.

    As movies have thought us, going back only leads to **** going down.

    Hmmm, yeah, I should probably just delete the demo first. In case something unforeseen happens if I do it after.

    But leaving folk (for dead) is hardly in the spirit of the......etcetera. :o

    I feel it is the one part of the game where your own survival needs significantly outweigh your teammates - for the rest of the campaign I am more than willing to assist a constrained comrade. It is easy enough to get to the escape vehicle, though, and that should be a main priority rather than stay behind and drag the rest of the team down with you! A proper mistake / problem might call for assistance, but pulling a Rambo at the last moment doesn't fly, man! :pac:

    That said it is rather tear jerking to see the credits dedicated to your fallen allies :( True, you can just move onto another lobby, but there are a few seconds of genuine grief there.

    I am beginning to think the creators of Blood Harvest are actually rednecks.

    Louis is ALWAYS the guy who gets left behind. Its starting to get creepy now.

    It was me last night. Not only that, I heard Francis laughing as the APC drove away :(

    Racist :P

    Anyone play this that actually uses their mic and doesnt get left behind, so annoying when your playing and no-one says anything and gets left behind all the time, happens nearly every game. Its a great game but so much better when everyone is communicating with a mike and working together.

    Add me to Steam think the name is Atlas[IRL] or Firetrap might work. Im on the boards.ie group.

    I'm not sure about Dawn of the Dead, but in the original Night of the Living Dead Romero cleverly had the one black character as the last survivor...
    until he gets shot by the rescuers
    . But for the most part, yes: horror directors tend to be a horrifically racist bunch.

    I went through this campaign last night and it was Francis who got left outside blasting away, managed to save him though and bring him on board (normal difficulty).

    Are there any clans / groups playing this ?

    I just LOVE the teamwork involved, ...and god...drives me insane when you get a Rambo type who runs out and gets killed all the time or spat on by a Boomer !

    I feel like I'm jesus sometimes with the amount of time i spend saving ppl from hunters and smokers

    I hear that .. but ... don't play with randomers :)

    We had a great game last night. Dead Air on expert and for the finale we ALL had shotguns to kill off two tanks. It did help when one of the tanks got suck :) under a plane though !

    That game was ridicilously hard! Was weird as well the way the server was set up so everyone could hear each other. We need a separate forum for L4D. Hard trying to find this bloody forum. Or if someone created a steam forum with all the sub forums in it, it would be easier to find.

    Dont think their is much of an Irish community for it yet Sean.

    Yeah there were some interesting server side settings activated there.. The Half Life forum serves most of Valves games at the moment. I think it would be good if the boards.ie Steam group had an official server or something, there seems to be such a facility built into L4D at least.

    There's nothing worse that healing up and being in capacitated 5 seconds later by a shotgun to the back :mad:

    Been shot by manay a shotgun .. but sometimes people just walk right accross you as you are firing. *Have done it many times myself.

    Even shot a guy in the head when I was zoomed in on an infected with the rifle and he walked right accross me at the wrong time :D
