That's cool, but I bought this game specifically for the multiplayer aspect because I would wait on sale if it was a better single-player experience. You had me worried for a second, but I should have realized who was saying it. :) I was just wondering since I know you have been critical of the people online before.

Groucho 12-19-08 02:47 PM

The online community for this is actually pretty good from what I've seen. The funniest thing are people who have played through a level one time and think they know it. "Hey guys, there are first aid kits in here -- hey wait, where'd they go?!?"

spainlinx0 12-19-08 02:56 PM

Man, I can't wait. But I have my girlfriend's Christmas Party tonight. :( Hope you guys play late.

Sooooo damn true!!!!!!!!!!!

Groucho just sent you a friend request. I'm trying to kick my son out so I can play!!!

xmiyux 12-20-08 07:50 AM

Awesome.

Hopefully we can get some games in tonight. I would love to kick it in some versus at some point.

Hopefully i can play Zoe since she is my fav. :D

Groucho 12-20-08 08:32 AM

I was on for a little while last night, but I was having problems with my headset and with disconnects, so I got frustrated and did something else. I'll probably try again tonight.

House 12-20-08 10:08 AM

So is this game awesome?

Deftones 12-20-08 10:37 AM

Was playing last night and was surprised to see that people can just jump into a game whenever. Didn't know that. Thanks SkorpyGar and DTCarson for helping my buddy and I get the achievement for that last part of the game. :up:

That was fun, hope I didn't throw you off too badly with either my sudden appearance or my relative lack of skills. Based on my gameplay sessions last night I like co-op better than versus (the fact I got my clock cleaned at versus [originally wrote co-op] might have something to do with it.)
I'd definitely be up for playing again.

I agree, co-op is tons more fun than Versus. :up: Especially when you start seeing weird things like Smokers grabbing players through walls and shit like that.

I'm up for some L4D today or tonight.

xmiyux 12-20-08 11:53 AM

Well versus becomes fun when you have a group of 8 people. That way both sides get the full co-op experience.

It is especially funny if everyone is in one party so both sides can talk to one another and hear the strategies. It leads to some really funny chat.

It <i>can</i> be "awesome" especially when you can team up with cool players.

No. When you came in the first time, I said hi, but then you bailed (or got dropped). Then you came back. It's all good. :up:

Like ME????? :D

Larry C. 12-20-08 01:35 PM

Guys I had to let me kid play last night..ugh....... I will be on toniht. We gotta get something going.

spainlinx0 12-20-08 02:09 PM

Yup that was fun Deftones. I played later with some randoms and it was fun, but they split up a little too much.

The Black 12-20-08 02:33 PM

If anybody wants to add me:
The Black MM2


see you guys ;)

the funny thing is my buddy we were playing with (DTATOM) has this unfounded, irrational fear of zombies. Like, ridiculous fear of them, even though he's smart enough to know they aren't real. So, when we play alone, I start screaming about zombies attacking him from the rear or jumping out at him, and he always gets pissed. I laid off him when we were all together just so he wouldn't get embarrassed. :lol:

spainlinx0 12-20-08 02:58 PM

That's really funny. That was actually my first time really playing the game. I played solo for like 10 minutes, but I wanted to play with people so I quit. Later I went looking for people and luckily you guys were on. It's a pretty damn fun game.

Hey, there's nothing irrational about fear of zombies. :(

Hey Robo and Groucho great game last night.... Lots of fun!!!! Funniest part was when I started clicking my light on and off and Robo couldn't figure out what it was :lol: shoould have told him it was a new kinda zombie :D

xmiyux 12-21-08 04:44 PM

I was on till like 11 hoping to see some of you guys on. Never got in a game. :(

I had a person or two waiting in the wings in other games in case we got enough folks on for versus. So far it has been really difficult to get enough folks together for a good game - i keep going back and forth about whether to Keep It Now from Gamefly or send it back and snag something else.
