I would try the demo first, but the AI is quite good on this game. Still, it's a lot more fun with real people (local co-op is also an option).

Gizmo 11-14-08 04:20 PM

I'm afraid to play this demo since I'm so involved with Fallout 3 right now... Is the demo co-op?

Groucho 11-14-08 04:26 PM

Demo has co-op and single player options, the "versus" mode is disabled.

Deftones 11-14-08 04:59 PM

didn't know the demo was up. going to download it and check it out. game is already headed my way anyway, but should be a nice time filler until it's in my hands.

The AI in this game was excellent. Your partners can clear a room, save you from a boss, heal you when you're dying and point out needed supplies. So even on the single player mode, you still feel like a 4-player team.

I just got done playing the Single player and <b>I agree on all the above points</b>. The AI was insanely good. They did everything I needed WITHOUT BE TOLD TO DO IT! And you left out that they can do it for each other too so that helps a great deal. :up: I can kinda see where they might be a little "too good", but it seems the Zombie attacks and sheer numbers kinda force you to fight rather than sitting back and letting them do all the work.

The Tom Clancy Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon programmers need to sit down with the folks who did this game.

I want this game.

:lol: Dude I don't know how many times I played the demo already. But I can't get enough. Theres nothing like blasting zombies with a shot gun.

Gotta go playing now!!!

This might be the best demo I have ever played. Not that it is the greatest game, but the demo did its job...made me want to buy the game. Hell this went from nothing to a must have during the first 5 minutes. I should have known Valve would come through on this one.

I've been playing for the last two hours on expert. Fun little game. Normal is way to easy. Expert is very hard, but I'm not sure if it is to hard. I think they should have given the tank a weakness to head shots or something. Someone will go down when fighting a tank on expert.

ChrisHicks 11-15-08 02:47 PM

lol, that witch. I gave one a blast with the shotgun and all I saw on the screen was something like "you startled her" and then I was dead. I went directly to Amazon right after and ordered the game.

Deftones 11-15-08 06:06 PM

demo was pretty good. can definitely see this as a pretty fun game if you can round up 4 people for co-op.

kms_md 11-16-08 01:10 PM

my preorder shipped from amazon yesterday.

Ketamine 11-16-08 11:25 PM

Played over the weekend. Really fun game.

Larry C. 11-17-08 10:47 AM

Shotgun is the best weapon ever.... I had a zombie running up to me and got a head shot on him about 3 feet away from my guy and his freakin head exploded all over my screen! Zombies are the BEST!

fujishig 11-17-08 11:43 AM

So there is a way to create a private game with the demo and invite a friend? My friend and I couldn't figure it out yesterday... we would create a lobby, invite each other, and then not receive the invites.

re: the witch. I heard the screaming in the very last room of the second demo level. I wiped out all the zombies in the room, then on the way up to the safe room I noticed a female zombie just sitting on the top of the staircase not doing anything. I shot her in the back, got the "you startled the witch... do not startle the witch" message, and next thing I knew, I was dead.

actyper 11-17-08 12:05 PM

Finally played this with some friends, and tried Expert right off the bat. OMG got so owned. 3hrs later we finally finished it on advanced. I agree, probably the best demo ever, and one of the best intros ever. Can't wait until tomorrow.

On the 2nd level theres this part where I thought I found a secret passageway. Beware lol!!!!

Yes you pick campaign then play with friends

Larry C. 11-17-08 03:17 PM

Anyone been able to find this today?

Ghym 11-17-08 03:21 PM

My copy is sitting on my hard drive waiting to be unlocked. The Steam webpage says about 8 hours from now. So, about 11pm.

Ghym 11-18-08 01:20 AM

Just got done playing a 3 player co-op game of the first campaign, No Mercy. Damn this game is awesome. Lots of fun. The AI director really likes giving you some quiet spots followed by intense action. I love how the same levels are different everytime. The final chapter was crazy. Swarms of zombies, Boomers, Hunters, and multiple Tanks. The end credits were great. One of my friends died at the end, so the "movie" was in memory of him. :lol: I could keep playing this game all night, but I have to go to work in the morning. I can't wait to play the rest of the levels. If you've got some friends to play with, this is definately a fun game.

Leechboy 11-18-08 02:56 AM

Amazing amazing game.

DVDsAreMyLIFE 11-18-08 05:05 PM

What are you guys getting this for, PC or 360? I played the demo on 360 and it was done very well that I don't mind playing it on the 360 (I tend to play FPS mainly on the PC) but the only reason I see getting it on the PC is for the mods and user created levels.

Deftones 11-18-08 05:08 PM

so got to play it for a few moments. not bad. my buddy had an issue where the demo locked up his system when he tried to play. popped the game in today and same thing happened. poor bastard. not sure what the deal is. online 4 vs. 4 is interesting. it's like the regular game, but 4 of the zombies are the opposing team. sort of an interesting concept.

I threw a Molotov cocktail at a witch. I died instantly but it gave me a "Burn the Witch" achievement.
